Linnets' Fans' Forum

Quote from: Mallard on October 14, 2025, 11:54:29 AMTW has not been a well man so that could be one reason for him leaving The other could be a new job in the North East.  Hartlepool sacked Simon Grayson yesterday.  Think Widdler played at Pools for a while and he certainly originates from up that way.

We know contracts don't mean much to him.  With Tommy gone I wonder where that will leave the fruit of his loins?  Theo isn't that popular amongst Shots fans

And will Barrett want to stay there now?

With Mark Robinson as Director of Football presumably?

Quote from: TonyM on October 14, 2025, 11:36:45 AMCan't see how Trust funds can be 'moved' without the transfer of the shares.  Personally would have thought this would have happened already so not sure what is holding up the full transfer of shares to TSI/Trust.

A question more people need to ask!

Is "nothing to report" really a good enough answer"?

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.

Quote from: Mallard on October 12, 2025, 03:27:47 PMSeems like this chap Bal is preparing to give Cleeve a good run for his money.

Maybe we should have been more careful what we wished for

Is Cleeve still there and involved?

From memory, I think we were informed by Bal (sorry if it wasn't him), that Cleeve was staying on so he could be involved in reducing the Legacy debt (Although I can't see that it's really a Legacy debt as it's a Club debt and the Club is just being taken over, not reformed).

Quarter way through season now, so it would be nice to know how our Ex Chairman (and still major shareholder via Blue and Gold Holdings) is getting on in this new role.

Is he having any success?

Quote from: Spiv on October 12, 2025, 10:29:26 AMI understand it was 198 of us made the trip - almost 2 full coaches which was great to see

Yes, good turnout.

What news on Gysai?

Leading goalscorer missing for a big FA Cup tie where success and getting into the next round means badly needed money.

No news of injury that I know of.

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 Gysai today.   

Looks like we have had to fill the bench with two Academy players. 

If so, that's crazy as we have 4 players out on loan!

Hearing that a couple of players that are listened to, are eager to get Cully back.

Talks have apparently taken place. 

Joe will give Bal a nice problem to have, when he turns Scunny over 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.

2 goals from 11 appearances when with Welling.

Quote from: Quinn Upstone on October 09, 2025, 12:47:03 PM..........perhaps the club is prioritising the list of jobs that need attention. Rightly or wrongly.

Point proven.

That's what we need to know.

Do they want Supporters or customers?

And of course as the (soon to be) co-owners the Trust state, "open and honest".
