An agreement with NTFC giving SISU / Otium security of tenure effectively removes the final obstacle to their takeover. We all know that the spineless and supine Football League will overlook or bend their own rules to let it happen
The only way that it can be prevented is a Judicial Review of the way in which the Football League is applying those rules. Northampton is not in the "conurbation" of Coventry, it is not within the area within which we are traditionally associated, we are not homeless or without a ground otherwise (as we have one of if not the newest stadium in the country) and the proposed move causes huge disadvantage to the supporters. Those are the rules they are supposed to apply
It needs someone or an organisation (SBT?) prepared to commit funds to taking further legal advice preparatory to JR proceedings. Otherwise its a done deal and Sixfields it is because no amount of letters / emails / adverse publicity is going to make the FL stand up to SISU / Otium
