Norwich City report losses of 20 million in 2024/2025. It would have been 40 million if it hadn't have been for player sales.


Wage bill 121% of turnover!


Just what is wrong with these people that run football Clubs?

Which team would be happiest with that result?

Or would both view it as a success?

Personally, I'd be surprised if we were still full time next season.

Corby Town have rewarded teenage midfielder Harrah Jones for his excellent performances this season.

The 17-year-old has put pen to paper on a deal that ties him to the Steel Park club until the end of this season, with the option for him to stay on for another season.

Jones joined the Steelmen in the summer, having made the move from King's Lynn Town where he had come through the Linnets' academy.

Despite his tender years, he has gone on to become a key player for Gary Setchell's side as they have enjoyed a strong start to the Pitching-In Northern Premier League Midlands Division campaign.

A club statement read: "Corby Town are delighted to announce that 17-year-old midfielder Harrah Jones has signed a contract at the club.


"Harrah, who signed for Corby in July after a successful trial, has signed a deal to keep him at the club until the end of the season with a further option for another season.


"Harrah has been a forefront in the side since he signed from King's Lynn Town's academy, and we are excited to see what the future holds.


After making his debut in the 2-0 FA Cup win at Sileby Rangers in mid-August, Jones has gone on to play a further 17 matches for the Steelmen, and has become one of the team's first picks.

Lynn lose 1-3 at home to Radcliffe.

I believe this takes us to 19th place in the league.

Att: 1107

Rumours are that Tom Wilson is leaving the Club. 

Lynn draw 2-2 away to Worksop after being 2-0 ahead, with the equaliser coming in the 90th minute.

Disappointing as it is with what's been going on recently, I guess we would have been pleased with a draw if we had been offered it pre KO.

Att: 604.

Tonight's results drops us to 16th in the table.

Lynn go down 2-1 at the Walks, to high flying Flyde.

Going in two down at the break, stand in Manager Joe Simpson  made two changes at half time.

Clunan scored on 73 minutes to reduce the deficit, but when  the full time whistle was blown, it was to register a 2-1 win for the visitors.

Att: 1131.

Gates seem to be holding up at the moment.


Today's result takes us down to 15th in the table.

King's Lynn Town host high-flying Fylde today at the end of another week of confusion at The Walks - CHRIS LAKEY reports

Joe Simpson can be forgiven for his touch of sarcasm as he surveyed the damage of King's Lynn Town's gutting FA Cup exit at National League Scunthorpe.
"We've got another nice easy one next Saturday at home to Fylde," he said, quickly adding, "But we'll look forward to it and we'll go and try and be competitive and see what we can do."
A week on and Simpson has had to mix preparation for the game with personal emotions after a club statement which did little to answer any questions about the caretaker manager's job status or future.
Simpson stepped into the breach as 'interim' following the messy departure of James Rowe. Today, he is either still interim or possibly permanent, depending on how you interpret the aforementioned statement.
Here's the evidence: "After careful consideration, the club has decided to continue with Joe leading the team, supported by an experienced structure around him. Paul Jones has returned to assist on the coaching side, and an experienced external advisor has joined to support Joe across all areas of management.
"This approach provides stability and continuity while ensuring Joe has the right backing to keep the team moving forward. We'll continue to review the situation on a week-to-week basis and make decisions in the best interests of the club."
No mention of who the experienced external advisor is or why he is there. And no clear reason why the set-up 'provides stability and continuity' while the situation will be reviewed on a 'week to week basis'. Hardly a resounding endorsement of Simpson's work, just PR guff which if you look at social media, hasn't pulled the wool over any discerning fans' eyes.
The reading-between-the-lines suggestion is that Simpson lacks experience, despite the fact a big chunk of his coaching career has been spent working alongside Ian Culverhouse, who arguably brought more success to the club than any other manager – the caveat being, of course, that he endured bad times as well. But which manager hasn't?
Bringing Paul Jones back after the fiasco of loaning one of the best keepers in National League North to Spalding for a month is a wise, inevitable, move. But don't confuse that for the return of an experienced coach: Jones is in the twilight of a long playing career but coaching a team hasn't been prominent on his CV.
What Jones' presence will do is reassert some of the character in the squad that was eroded before his temporary departure when players like Josh Coulson and Kyle McFadden were 'allowed to leave' by Rowe. The club mission may be to improve young players into saleable assets, but that doesn't exclude experienced players from the basic tenet which is to win football games. As it turns out, Coulson and McFadden were pretty good at that.
But those particular Linnets have flown the nest and Simpson will have to make do with what he has got. It's a good squad, with a couple of recent young additions on loan from Peterborough United and Norwich City – players who will hope their futures are a lot clearer than their manager's.

TW leaves Aldershot.

Any vacant Managers jobs around at the moment?

 

Not to worry. I don't think the Club have the required funds to support the kind of salary he (and his son) would command at the moment.

That's unless Trust funds are moved across before the transfer of the shares.

It was all going so well for 61 minutes, with the Linnets leading by 2 goals.

Coming out after half time, and losing 2-0,Scunthorpe then managed to put 4 goals past Lynn to come out 4-2 winners.

Scunthorpe 4 v Kings Lynn 2.




Where was Gysai today?

No reason we can't come away with a win today.

Scunny will probably regard this game as a potential bannana skin so hopefully we can make it as slippery as possible for them.

And of course there's the little matter of the financial rewards that come with going into the hat for the next round.
