Northampton partially taken over by Chinese Investors

5usport have purchased a major stake in the club, and they're increasing the playing budget, providing funds to sign and develop young players, and also providing funds to get our botched East Stand redevelopment back on track. Kelvin Thomas remains as Chairman and it's not a full takeover, so if it all goes tits up they aren't in total control.

Happy with this, feel like we need the increased budget as I'm quite worried about relegation this year with how the division is looking. Sure we'll see just how much money they've put in when we complete the rest of our signings.

So are we going to see your shooting up the leagues now?

Very happy with this, although it was hugely unexpected! Expecting us to dish out a few more fees now for players. Delighted kelvin Thomas is staying as chairman also.

The east stand might also get finished, rumoured new design
