Title: Joe Simpson
Post by: TonyM on November 19, 2025, 09:31:03 PM
Some positive news from the club this evening with Joe being appointed Head of Football Operations https://www.kltown.co.uk/2025/11/19/kings-lynn-appoint-joe-simpson-as-head-of-football-operations/

Looks a good fit and having worked with IC previously hopefully he can make a success of the new role, wishing him all the best.

He's a good Lad.

Great for the Club to have his continued involvement.

A future full time officially appointed Manager in years to come, without a doubt.

I'm sure he will be, but good luck to him in his new role.

IC 50K PB 30K JS 30/40K Rough estimates admittedly but still a lot of money to shell out when we're on the brink  :sad:

Although my cynicism causes me to question what a head of football operations is, I should have read the news section first!  Still cynical, but "scouting" is certainly a job worth doing, as long as he doesn't just stay local....

Just a guess here, but I would have thought both Cully and Bazza would be on more than that.

Also, isn't there some kind of grant that goes a long way towards the JS salary, due to his Academy status?  :dontknow:

Then don't forget to add on the NI's and pension contributions.

Certainly not cheap to run a football club, but then again its not cheap to run any business these days.
