Cully's new era commences with a 0-0 away draw with Southport.
Att: 961
Which team would be happiest with that result?
Or would both view it as a success?
Southport would be the least happiest, as being at home and sitting bottom, needing the points would have hoped for a win against an out of form Lynn.
We have to take a positive from today, that being not conceding. Not losing away is always decent and something to build on for Tuesday at home when hopefully, we will get a win against Leamington.
As Cully said it's a start. Interesting interview about how fragile the players are.
Then again hardly surprising after the time it took to get someone in.
Just over 900 attendance
Well at least we came away with a draw and a clean sheet so that's a good start but we have got to start and put away our chances,Gold missed two chances that is confidence
Decent start. Clean sheet . Good point. Even better if we win on Tuesday. Cully on a winner . If we win he's great ... lose it's not his team . Time will tell ...
Culverhouse is going to need a bit of money to save us this year. Forget the playoffs .he'll need a bit of money to do that just like any other manager will.I cant understand what all the faffing about with the Trust money is and why they just cant give it to the club in a time of need and sort the shares out later on.If its going to be a relationship built on trust whats the problem.If the members asked for a vote for the money to be moved over straight away I' sure it would go in favour of the money going there now and not when its too late.Just get on with it!
He might need a bit of money though that should be available as the squad seems somewhat tighter than the start of the season with players out on loan the odd one having left.
I'm sure if Rowe could get a tune out of this group then for sure Culverhouse will. Big thing seems to be the confidence factor. Rowe had a team on a high while Culverhouse has inherited a team on the floor.
We all know why that is.
At least he's spotted that there is no fluidity in midfield, and therefore a dearth of opportunities for the front men. Then he says that's what he must address. Thing is, do we have the players, the type of players, to address it? Personally, I doubt it, but I wish him luck...

Because, quite simply, the Trust is governed by a set of rules and that isn't what was put to the membership in the vote. I can understand your frustration but the Trust reacted quickly to the proposal by the club arranging the vote, which I think raised expectations that the share transfer was imminent, that appears not to have been the case. Why would you think the club is in 'a time of need'?

If it is a relationship built on trust then presumably the club have told the Trust directors what the hold up is and for whatever reason (and there could be many) the Trust board have not seen fit to come back to the membership with anything along the lines of your proposal so maybe we are not anywhere near the 'too late' stage as you seem to think we are
Just out of interest, are you a Trust member?

Still on the wind up, Windy ?
Ok, let's pretend you're being serious for five seconds.
It won't happen because:
1/ The money wouldn't keep the club in bog rolls for a week.
2/ No one with any sense would hand money over without the corresponding shares.
3/ With my serious face on---pretty sure it's also against the constitution of the Trust without an EGM.
4/ Loads of other reasons that I'm sure other people will think of.
Plus I know who you are, my friend 😺 And you've just gone 🐠🐟🐠🐟🐟🐠 🎣

Tony if I was a member would they keep me up to date with what is going on if not it looks pointless
Maybe, just maybe Jo and his side kick Bal have decided it's not worth all the hassle of taking over the shares therefore no point in asking the Trust for money as they don't need it now after all.
The idea is to run the business without having a benefactor propping it up, so just start as you mean to go on. This full time mark isn't really working for Lynn. Other full time Clubs are sitting in the top 6. I bet Bal's monthly report to Jo on the state of the party must making for some interesting reading

We all know why that is.
The last league game win for Rowe was August 30th against a team that spent 7 hours on the bus and arrived late. Did he really leave a team 'on a high'?

Cully didn't use the word high or low to describe his team, but the terms he used and the point he was making was as good as.

Followed by a narrow lose to Kiddy. A point on the road at both Alfreton and Marine. Tearing Chesham apart in the Cup. Then a few days after he went sticking one into Royston. So yeah on a high I would have said.

I don't think anyone can deny that the uncertainty surrounding the appointment of a new Manager has cost us big time. Not a very good decision to allow it to drag on so long, but I guess there must have been some logical reason that we are not party to, as to why it did.
Cully's returned now, so onward's and upwards.He gave a very clear description of the state of the team. If anyone can change that for the positive in a very short period of time, then I've every confidence it will be him.
After Tuesdays game, I'm sure he will 100% know what he's dealing with and what he needs to do, so presumably we'll see some in's and outs.
Good luck for tomorrow night.
:scarf:
Cully dug Cleeve out of a hole after the Clark appointment. Looks very much like he is having to do the same thing yet again.

so why can't they have a egm to ask the fans to vote for the money to be given over now.if Bal said that's what he wanted the fans would back him and it would all be over and done with
Me Mum used to say "people who say I want, don't get". Wise words indeed :countingmoney:
In fairness with an offer of a low single digit share holding for the Trust they are giving their money anyway. So next to no difference in handing it over for nothing now.
Why would the trust hand over any money £30000 or £60000 for "a foot in the door" and be offered such a small percentage of the shares. Then whatever say they had would make no difference.The money would be swallowed up and they would be left a percentage of nothing.

What I don't believe has been considered is what happens when Jo calls time and sells his majority stake to someone else.
Once the deal has been done it will be so easy for Jo or any new owner to get the Trust out, unless they had a bottomless pot of money (which they don't). So it's not just a case of them having a % of nothing, they could very easily have no % at all, and after having put all their members money into the Club.
What also needs to be remembered is that it doesn't really matter what Bal's intentions are, as he's only an employee (I understand an employee of Jo's TSI, and not the Club). So the personal friendships that have developed between Bal and certain people on the Trust committee could all be worthless in an instant if he moves on, or if Jo has a change of heart, or if circumstances dictate that he has to walk away from the Club.
This gets more and more interesting Cleeve is still there.
