Would think he will use the budget wisely on the core of his team then pad it out with loaners and players he can develop.

Think the fans need be prepared for a team around mid table in the short term. Still
If Sports can do it then no reason shouldn’t be in and around that area.

Let’s hope we get some  entertaining attacking football next season.

Are we really going to compare this football club to a team in Peterborough that can barely get 200 people through the door as an example of how to compete in this league? We should be looking up, not looking down.

Sports have done very well with a limited budget. As you say, only 200 gates yet they still managed a commendable 12 placed position. I would think their supporters were well pleased with that.

From what I understand, they didn't go 300k over budget to achieve that position.

It makes one wonder where Cleeve and his Managerial appointments would have seen us finish last season, if the Club had kept to its budget?

Good article on Rowe in the EDP too https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/25186708.new-kings-lynn-town-boss-james-rowe-squad-changes/

Reading between the lines looks like we will be putting more emphasis on developing players rather than AL's grinding out results (appreciate that was necessary in 2023-24 but not so much 2024-25 when he chose the players and style) and particularly like his thoughts on loan players and more local links, certainly expect his contact list to be wider than ALs so then it will also be down to the club to be on board with that.  So far, so good and looks to be saying all the right things as you would expect from a manager who should probably be managing higher up the pyramid but equally he has been away for a while now so opportunity for him to prove himself again.

I believe the main criteria he will need is to be able to manage on a very tight budget, probably for the next few seasons.

Sorry it’s late.

The start of a more open, honest and inclusive future? Now that the necessary cloak and dagger stuff of takeover is at an end, let's certainly hope so.

We'll have to wait and see.

Bal and Jo have to prove that before I'm personally convinced.

Fingers crossed.

To me, it just seems their interest is getting their money back.

Are there any fans who actually want Mr Cleeve still at the club. If not, then why not just boycott all games and let him get in with it. Action speaks louder than words as they say.
This forum only represents a small percentage of Lynn fans, but if the views on here are more widespread, why would SC hang around, assuming that he is aware of the general feeling towards him.

This forum doesn't represent the supporters, a small proportion or otherwise.

It just allows supporters to post their views and opinions etc to fellow supporters.

Trust Statement
 
In the light of today's article in the Eastern Daily Press and following some discussions, the Trust Directors have agreed that now is the time to step back from any further discussions with Turn Sport Investments (TSI).
 
We would like to thank TSI for all their work in putting together a pathway for the future of the Club which is not possible to achieve at the moment. I'm sure they will act responsibly to assist the Club as much as possible.
 
The Trust remains committed to achieve its aims and hope that one day the Club will be financially self-supporting and not continuously looking  for outside investment to survive. If there are any lessons to be learnt from this ongoing saga, a strong and well-funded Trust will be essential in the future
