Well done to the Lynn News and the EDP for highlighting the problems facing The Linnets this season and the many unanswered questions of where do we go from here. The continued lack of transparency from the club over many issues is a real concern, especially as the new era came in with the promise of better communication between club and supporters.
It's time for the man in charge and the Trust to face the press and give some honest answers and an idea of what happens next.

Great and hugely unexpected result!   Very well done to all concerned....  That last minute equaliser against Chorley the week before was worth its weight in gold!  The future is anyone's guess, but yesterday gave us a degree of hope for progress...

Absolute shambles of a season on and off the pitch. Hopefully a warning sign. Let's hope those involved with the running of the club don't let this sorry state of affairs happen again. Please choose managers players carefully..

I will keep my eyes open for an advert for a manager,I would throw my hat in the ring. I'm not a great tactition.not really a great trainer for the physical side,not good on nutrition,but I know a few beers the night before a game don't hurt.Never managed a team before,but I used to help with 5 a side at provvy,that could be a bonus as I have no preconcieved ideas,so long as it is a decent wage i will be happy,free entry to all the games and free food and beer would be a bonus.I would keep it simple,keep it on the floor,go towards their goal,would have Jones as rush goalie and Chapman could be a goalhanger because he is tall.

With how the season started, I would never have envisaged it would end the way it did.

Under Rowe, the results were pretty good, the players were playing well, it was entertaining football and I had high hopes.

Unfortunately with the events surrounding Rowe and then him departing, Joe Simpson, a very likeable lad, but unfortunately not a good manager (yet) I think the club persevered with him longer than they should have done.

The return of Culverhouse, again, made my glass half full, but results and his tenure were not as good as his previous stints, so him being cast aside may have been the right thing to do.

I say may have been the right thing to do as I haven't seen anything (South Shields aside) to suggest that Caddis is any better than Culverhouse and personally, going forward, I don't think Caddis is the right man for the job - although I am more than happy to be proven wrong.

There's another thread on here about thoughts for next season, but I'm finding it hard to digest this season, before I think of the next.

It's been debated on here many times whether we should remain full time or not, it's been debated whether the new owner(s) are better than the previous one and as we don't have a crystal ball, we'll all just have to wait and see how it all pans out.

Never a dull moment at KLTFC
(apart from some of the two hours on a Saturday afternoon between 3.00 & 5.00 which have been pretty dull this season!!)
