"King's Lynn Town Football Club can confirm that the club has parted company with first-team manager Ian Culverhouse and assistant manager Paul Bastock.

The club felt it was the right time to make a change in order to give the team the best possible opportunity for the remainder of the season.

The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Ian and Paul for their efforts during their time at The Docherty Walks and wishes them both the very best for the future.

An update regarding the club's managerial arrangements will be communicated in due course."

Mall, having read your post I can't believe that with everything that has gone on off the pitch this season that 'the club' has felt this was the change that gives the team 'the best possible opportunity for the remainder of the season'.  Given what he has had to work with I think IC has done a fantastic job and the club is now looking for it's fourth manager of the season or will JS be asked to step in for the rest of the campaign?

Change at the top end of the club - and there was me thinking we had got rid of that joke of a CEO of ours!

The fans won't be able to accuse Bal of dragging his feet on appointing a successor to Cully.  However with Cully shown the door am yesterday and the new guy being announced pm yesterday, it does beg the question how many other Managers were approached and/ir interviewed ?

I really hope Bal gets one right for a change and the new guy can work with him

Well, the last 24 hours have been interesting. Looking back at that rant, Culverhouse likely used the phrase "outside influences" as a legal shield, but his frustration was clearly aimed at the austerity and secrecy that TSI has brought to this club.

"austerity" ?
