No Contract. No Consent. No Relegation! Cobblers fan destroys 1965/66 Relegation Theory

 

For many the Cobblers famous season in the sun was as good as it gets for the boys in claret and white. The club's swinging sixties rapid rise through the leagues was the stuff of legend. But one Cobblers Fan can reveal the equally well documented drop back through the leagues did not technically occur! 

Standens Barn resident Paul of The Family Richards has done painstaking online research which completely disproves any claims the Football League and successor the Premier League have that NTFC were relegated.

"I have served a number of notice to rectify warrants on the FA, Football League, UEFA and FIFA requesting they provide a copy of any contract Northampton Town FC had with the football league stating finishing in 21st place would result in relegation back down to Division two." The former scaffolder, turned legalogist told Cobblers Scoops.

"Despite the threat of a non compliance £250,000 fine payable to the issuer, these have been completely ignored, infact the security guard at Soho square requested I leave before he called the police! The cheek of it, if anything I should have been arresting him and I would have done if I didn't have a bad back which has kept me off work since 2003."

Richards, who asked Cobblers Scoops to make clear he was a living breathing human and not a strawman, also claims NTFC are retrospectively owed silverware which could include the Premier League title, FA Cup and even European trophies, "if you think about it, all those games we have won since 1966 added together should have gone towards top flight competition, we could be looking at Cobblers being awarded the 2014 Premier League trophy, not to mention all those times we supposedly got knocked out of the FA Cup in the first two rounds when as a top tier club, we shouldn't have even been playing yet. That time I got kicked out of The Lumbertubs for throwing a glass during an England game was FIFA's fault too".

Gianni Infantino was unavailable for comment.
