What about Joe Nyahwema? Gone for good or just visiting family in Australia?

One of the few players who will demand a decent fee is Wilson.  So not surprised he is leaving

Apparently gone for good, but that's what he was supposed to have told Spalding prior to joining us.

A pity the club can't provide fans with this kind of information and get over their obession with food.

And exactly what is wrong with having an obsession with food?   :dontknow:

Maybe Jo or Bal have shares in Ollies Street food.

Sleep walking our way into a relegation battle.

Bal has only been in the job 5 minutes.  What a job he has done. 

Where is Vera when you need him.

We look like a relegation side both on and off the pitch we need a new manager quickly but I bet we cant afford one.
I think Cleeve will be back within the next few weeks. Did he ever go away?

I don't know about that Peter (well, maybe not in the next few weeks), But it definitely looks as if we were fed a Porky and he's going nowhere soon.

I wonder if Jo is wishing he had never got involved, or maybe had someone else as his CEO. It all seems Rabbits in headlights kind of thing and its a much more difficult task than Jo or Bal ever thought it was going to be.

Some did find it strange that a successful businessman (as we are led to believe) would ever consider putting such a large amount into the Club. I'm still asking myself why? Whatever story did Jo fall for? Or is/was there another Agenda that we are not aware of?

Suggested names for the Linnets Reality TV Program anyone?  :laughcry:

Did "HE" put money in? Or was it another of the offers on the table?

I wonder what we could now attract in terms of a new Manager?  Who would fancy it now .  When Rowe went then there would have been many options.  Now with all the dithering and uncertainty then not sure the list would be that quality led.

What do the trust say about all this.Have they put money in and if they have can they get it out."Black arts" Some people never did like the trust.

The Trust board I seem to recall were keen for the membership to vote to go with the Bal and Jo deal.  All seems a long time ago now.  Is that deal any further forward than it was back then ?

It's really not a good look all of this.

The Trust board presented the deal as it was offered to them from TSI without giving any 'direction' as to how they would like the membership to vote, the vote was overwhelmingly carried 77 for, 16 against with the result reported on 23rd July and the board would report back to members once the deal was completed, can only assume this has yet to happen.  https://www.thelinnets.co.uk/trustnews.php

Disappointed Nyahwema has departed - he was an exciting player and a game changer on his day.

And, just to echo the thoughts of others - I think it is a concerning time at The Walks

The season started so well, with so much promise, an exciting squad, a decent manager, off field affairs seemed in hand.........and now at the end of October, a mass of uncertainty
