Let's hope he has some kind of budget to bring players in.  No matter what it's not a good look.  I do wonder if Cully was given the full story before coming back ?

John, Cully basically said either the players on the bench weren't fit or young kids.

I don't understand why we don't pull Toll and Williams and Van Lier back from loan spells.  Can't use a player from the bench makes no sense when we have players like those 3 out on loan.

Plenty of cloak and dagger stuff going on it seems. What Jo's commitment going forward ?  Do the Trust fully know what's happening?

Watching Cully's post match and reading what the Lynn news have said I would suggest it's not just the BBC who edit interviews to suit the narrative,

Think there is a much bigger picture to look at than getting knocked out of the FA Trophy.  Some saw this coming. Lots didn't  add up.

This all sits at one persons door. 

Where does this leave the Trust ?  Do they step in and handover what they have or part of it or do they sit on the hands and hold onto their money in case things go and take  a real turn for the worst.

Have we got players returning from injury and/or loan ? If not the bench is going to look very thin tomorrow.

Interesting listening to Simon Leslie  (Eastbourne owner) about how he feels streaming has a big part to play at his Club. SC was saying the same thing a few years back. Things like coverage being shown on You Tube is offering big bucks, going forward.  That's one area Lynn seem to have got a decent grip on. Quite like their coverage from players arriving right the way through the match.  Give a good insight into the match day experience.  Plus that must be generating a decent income stream for the Club. 😉

£1800 a week plus boot money does seem way over the top for this  level.  Let's not forget SC saying there were  players in the EFL on basic £400 week.

Maybe not £400 a week now but I'm sure there are players in the pro game on £25k a year, basic.

Around 25 former League Clubs, some desperate to get back into the EFL and will throw big money at the project. The rest are forced to hang on to the bigger Clubs coat tails.  Which is at a cost.

Very dangerous game  I would suggest if the total debt of all NL clubs (72) was added together it would be a frightening amount of money.  We only have to look at KL's

It's good there are platforms to share views on various things.  Just a shame some are so precious.  SC for example had a very thick skin. Mind he needed it at times.

I think Businessman's breakfast Club idea was tried under the Cleeve/Hearle watch.  Not sure how successful it was. Can only assume it didn't really get off the ground.  However with Bal's commercial background I'm sure things will happen this time.

On the subject of commercial nous I'm somewhat surprised to see the Main Stand sponsorship being raffled off. Why couldn't Bal do a new agreement with the anonymous previous sponsor ?  Cleeve never seemed to have an issue.

Sutton 4th bottom of the NL and Jones was on the bench Saturday.  So could well be

Understandable if it had been during Lakeland's reign.

On loan  at Kiddie, is this more like a try before you buy deal ?

With 4/5 players out on loan and the same injured I wonder if Cully will be looking to bring players in..... How about a McFadden return ?

Liam Manning sacked tonight

What a great point on the road that is !  Sounds like it was back against the wall but wouldn't expect anything else against the League's in form team.

Had full faith that IC would turn it around and get us back on track.  Baby steps but great start.
