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.

I hope the plan is that he has to pay for admission, and doesn't think he's entitled to a seat in the Directors box.

And let him clean the pigeon s*it from whatever seat he decides to use himself, as other supporters very often have to do.

Sorry it's late.

He needed protecting from himself.

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.

I reckon Keiranuptoon must be on holiday.   

Him and a few others both  on here and Facebook

With the stunt that was pulled at The Trust meeting, will Bal be looking to replace part of the Media team?

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

On the morning of the Scunthorpe game the Club had to go cap in hand to the Lord Napier to " borrow three barrels of beer " as I presume there was insufficient at the ground for the seasons biggest crowd. Club on stop ?

I hope they asked for cash in hand before parting with the barrels.

Allegedly IF the grant to repair the stand floor ever materialises he has said he will pay that account.

All should be well.

He is a man of his word after all.   

Ken

What's the connection between paying for changing room  refurbishment and obtaining a grant for the stand floor (yet more taxpayers money no doubt)?

Any idea why a local Tradesman should be made to wait for payment depending on the outcome of yet another grant application?

........plus another 700k from his Singapore investment buddies who just love throwing money into his hobby and never want anything in return.

Fools and their money springs to mind!

Whatever sort of business people would allow this to happen is beyond me!

Have to think it must be very easy to earn lots of money in Singapore.

I think you will find the threat of not taking over the club or putting money in to pay the bills..........

Apparently TSI haven't been doing that for a while now.
