Linnets' Fans' Forum

Concur with the above.  Good to see people at the Club being proactive.   When we think back to the dross being put out in previous times under the old guard, it makes one feel more appreciative.

Fine ?  What's he been up to this time ?   Would have thought the Club needs every penny for the run in to get to the play offs

Listening to AL's post match it was a game of very few chances for either team and a strong disciplined performance from Lynn.

Excellent 3 points on the road.  Onwards to the next

Yes Newton was too loyal to Culverhouse. Is that a good trait for a Chairman to have?  Our Chairman did the same thing with Mark Hughes.  As for  Boston they have given themselves a massive chance of  survival with last night's victory.

On your comment Paul of never going back and Culverhouse.  It didn't do us any harm when he returned.  Back to back Promotions, with a part time local team. 

They got David Newton we got Stephen Cleeve. 

Dean did a decent job at Sports at step 2.  Agree though he couldn't handle the high pressure job at Scunny. I'll bow to your much greater knowledge of finances he is working with at Spalding as I have no idea on such matters.

My original post was just a little toe in the water based on what  IF next season we didn't continue working with full time squad.  I'm sure if the full time mantra is continued with then Lakeland will be at the helm.

Interestingly Culverhouse managed to get out the Club up into step one with a relatively locally based squad, on a part time basis.  History teaches us much.

I guess people see things differently and hindsight being a wonderful thing.

Setch did a decent job at Lynn gaining a couple of promotions then maybe a few average season but on what was a very limited budget.  Also did a reasonable job with Bedford and now at Corby, again working on a limited budget with a part time set up.  I certainly wouldn't dismiss him as a candidate.

As for Jimmy Dean, worked wonders with Sports brining them through from Step 5 to step 2.  Full time time at Scunny with high expectations didn't work out so well.  Now seems to be doing a decent job with Spalding at Step 3.    So again I wouldn't just write him off.

Be interesting to know your ideal candidate Paul, who could do a job at Step 2 with a part time outfit.

Interesting comments Tony.  If there is no Jo next season and no other outside  investment  coming into the Club then maybe part time will be the natural outcome.    We were discussing this on the way home tonight.  As a part time Club who would the fans want in as Manager?

A.  Jimmy Dean B. Michael Gash C. Gary Setchell.  All 3 hare enjoying reasonably successful years at varying levels.

Who would Lynn fans go for ?

If those were the only choices (god help us) it would have to be Gash (with Luke Steele).

Need more than God to help us!   

Maybe SC could find us another Simon Clark or Mark Hughes.  Then you are spot on with God help us Paul.

Sometimes it's better the devil you know

Who also claimed we had the best Ass Manager in the League.  So does that mean yesterday's result is 100% on the players?  In the owners eyes.

Not so sure about the bottom Mac.  There's still a few around giving their time for nothing. Who should be appreciated.

Maybe some of those you mention Kitty are no longer with the Club.

and maybe a better Manager who gets value for money from his players.   I bet Sports didnt have 8 players who didn't make their match day squad today.

Peterborough Sports sit one place below us in the League B&G.  How does Lakeland's budget compare to Gash's budget would you think ?
