If Cully was the first or even the 2nd choice , as has been rumoured why oh why has it taken Bal so long to get this over the line?
Cully an Bazza  were not on contract so this could have happened PDQ after Rowe went.

Was the real hope that JS would have worked out this  saving a tidy sum ?  Instead look at what it has cost us in terms of League position.

I do wonder if Cully will
Look to reinstate Jonah between the sticks and let one of the other two keepers leave.  We don't need 3. That would free up some budget.

Also as  we seem to be firing blanks up top will he bring Toll back to have a proper look at him. 

Tinder ?  Who did he play for ?

I feel many were hoping that when Jo and his sidekick Bal came onboard we would see an upgrade on Cleeve. Sadly many feel they have seen nothing to support that.

As for Cleeve not being involved he seemed happy sitting in the Directors box at the Darlo game earlier in the season and tell their Board how it was just a sideways move for him at the Club. 🤷�♂️

Dilly I think you will find Culverhouse got Boston promoted out of The NLN. So a decent CV for step 2.

Think if Cully is returning the fans to a man should get behind him and remember the two promotions we enjoyed under his stewardship.  All done on a part t time team basis.

I think Bal will have got one right.  He was due one.

Think you'll find thats Ian Evetts

Preece being Northern based wouldn't have been cheap ( Lakeland basis).

I disagree re Culverhouse I do expect him to hit the ground running.  It's a shame he wasn't appointed soon after Rowe went.  Then Bal knows best.

Culverhouse is walking into a dressing room which is full of talent.  I firmly believe he is the someone who can get the best out of the Group.

With Culverhouse you get a first class coach with a proven track record at Step 2.  I just hope upon hope that he  doesn't walk into a Club with issues surrounding finance.
  Maybe he can hang onto Tom Wilson, and not be forced to sell him.

Quote from: Linnet465 on October 25, 2025, 12:23:10 PMIf a big club like SW can fold what chance for the minnows?

But they had an unreliable,duplicitous owner?!

Phew Rod, how lucky were we. Dodged a bullet there then. 

Roll on Monday.  If Caney has it right.  No reason to doubt it.

Better late than never Bal

How can the Trust hand over a single penny until the shares are transferred and SC is no longer seen to be involved ?

Once the decision was made to go full time the dynamics in the Club appeared to change.   Never has it seemed like the infrastructure was in place for this.

The Trust board I seem to recall were keen for the membership to vote to go with the Bal and Jo deal.  All seems a long time ago now.  Is that deal any further forward than it was back then ?

It's really not a good look all of this.

Quote from: peter on October 24, 2025, 03:05:03 PMWe look like a relegation side both on and off the pitch we need a new manager quickly but I bet we cant afford one.
I think Cleeve will be back within the next few weeks. Did he ever go away?

I wonder what we could now attract in terms of a new Manager?  Who would fancy it now .  When Rowe went then there would have been many options.  Now with all the dithering and uncertainty then not sure the list would be that quality led. 

Sleep walking our way into a relegation battle.

Bal has only been in the job 5 minutes.  What a job he has done. 

Where is Vera when you need him.
