No it wouldn't be a surprise if he ended up at say Southport. He could live at home with just a 30 mile drive to work each day.  Who wouldn't want that rather than living away from one's family.

Sometimes there is more to life than Football.  It's not like the guy has any real history with Lynn not like say Setch had in his time as Manager.

Managers, players even owners and CEO's come and go. No point in getting hung up when someone leaves. Or potentially is going to leave. Managers have to move while their stock is high.

PM opinions are like assholes, everyone has got one. 

Just be careful not to big it up, too soon.  Nothing gets won or lost in Aeptember. Baby steps should more be the order of the day.

In fairness you obviously are in a much better position  to judge. You can see the full picture, from behind and in front of you,

Let's hope for an injury free period, going forward.

What an excellent win on the Road that is.  A real marker down in the sand.  No game now for two weeks so a chance for all the players who are out with injury to rejoin the squad. Some big players there to come into the equation.

Hearing that live coverage of local football ( and Cricket) is being cut by the BBC as a cost cutting exercise.

I guess everyone is always looking at what savings can be made and where.

Like at Lynn where there is talk of buying their own property to save on rents being paid out for player accommodation.   I seem to recall years back that the Club owned a few houses close to the ground.  Understand this could be a big step up from that.

Puppet master. I wouldn't say it was down to less to post about but more lack of real interest. 

At least with Cleeve we were dealing with someone in plain sight.  Jo must be due to make his annual visit sometime soon to have a check on his investment.?

In fairness hardly anyone left now to censor. 

Maybe forums have had their day.🤷�♂️  Seems far more activity on the Clubs supporters facebook.

Is it really a healthy situation to have the CEO of the Club as a player ?  One way of never getting left out or hooked, I guess.   Plus the Manager has a player who will at some point sack him.

I'm not alone in thinking that MC is not the same player he was when he left us.

It would seem that censorship has much to answer for. It was ok to criticise Cleeve on here during his tenure. In fact it was encouraged but now under different stewardship then that is not permitted.

Lynn are like a box of chocolates ( Forest Gump) you never know what you're gonna get.

Certain knowledgable people have said we shouldnt judge until we are 10 games into the season.  8 down two to go

Excellent 3 points on the road to give us back to back wins.   Let's hope we can make it 3 on the spin come Tuesday.

Wasn't able to watch this one as was t'up North watching Harrogate v Gateshead with 3 ex Linnets on show.

Sounds like we put in a decent performance in gaining a much needed win. 

Was listening to the Seagulls Manager, Jonno Greening who was basically saying they gassed in the 2nd half two games in 3 days plus a 4.5 hour coach trip down on the day of the match was a step too far for his part time team.

General Discussion / Re: Lynn v Marine report

The worry ( where are those beads ?)is trying to work out which is the real Caddis team.  Is the one that did a total job on Brackley or the one that lost a pre-season game at Wroxham got outclassed by a newly put together team at Chester and capitulated  in a 2nd half performance against Marine.

Ok it's only game 4, so the jury is out on what kinda squad Caddis has put together. Reading social media it seems many have already made their mind up that Bal has made yet another poor appointment.  For me it's to early to say, but Bal's track record doesn't look good so who knows where we will be come October.

Saturday should give us our first 3 home points of the season.  Should be another big crowd in for that one.

Interesting to see that since Clunan has take the job as CEO working with Jo that the opening day crowd was so big.  Plus it seems more revenue is coming into the Club than before.  All bodes well.

As long as we are are a top half of the League team then things should continue to improve under the new model.

Thought we were excellent v Brackley and 'bullied' them and looked stronger in all departments.  Harborough maybe a point was a fair result though thought we just about shaded it.  As for Chester didn't see that one but reading and listening to others it seemed we weren't at the races at all and were lucky to only suffer a 2-0 defeat.

Seems Chester are the team bang at it.  Like ourselves they are a working with a new squad put together in the summer.

Looking forward to Saturday.
