Gavin Caney article

The soap opera that is The Walks is spinning out another fascinating storyline.

The talk on the terraces is that the club's yet-to-be-officially confirmed new commercial director and investor Joseph Phua are running things at King's Lynn Town.

The latter's investment seemingly kept the Linnets afloat in late 2023 but as to how much was pumped in to steady the ship is anybody's guess. The same goes for whether it's given the Singaporean more control.

However, Cleeve's silence and lack of clarity from official media channels is only fanning the flames of the rumour mill.

Lynn's owner used his column in a rival local newspaper to state "Jo has bought in a new commercial director with Football League experience" and it would be "announced shortly". That was published online on November 23.

What's the delay? Why does everyone around town know about 'Bal' but nothing has been officially confirmed about his arrival and role?

Cleeve's deleted post on LinkedIn seeking further investment poured further confusion around the state of play. What is going on?

Lynn Football Club, old and reformed, has long provided enough drama to rival EastEnders. Yet it really doesn't need to be this cloak and dagger. Some transparency would just quieten all the noise and let everyone get behind, and understand, the vision for the future.

Interesting article from Gav Caney.  Good to see a Newspaper putting it out there.  Give that man a Cigar.

Not much coming out from SC these days.  Is that because he has been censored by the Jo and Bal or has he simply lost interest ?  Either way at least we don’t get subjected to the latest brainwave

Lynn FC Ltd (07102863) Confirmation Statement for Companies House is overdue. It should have been filed on the 25th of December (last date).

It's a very simple form that takes 2 minutes to complete (at a cost of £45). Mandatory reporting, so I presume a fine for late filing will now be applied.

By coincidence, I had to complete one myself around the same time, and it was confirmed by Companies House straight away. Just mentioning this as it being the holiday period doesn't come into it when looking for reasons acknowledgement not being received from Companies House.

The  Confirmation Statement just confirms basic details of the Company. One of the things asked is for details of People with Significant Control (PSC). With what's been going on recently with Joe and Bal, it does make me wonder if the powers that be at the Club have just been waiting for the ink to dry on any agreement before submitting the form.

Not the way it should be done ( i.e. it should be submitted before cut off date, and then amended after), but just waiting a few days before confirming who's in charge, could be the reason for the late filing. Obviously if they had submitted the form with new details, it would be out there for all to see and as we know, that's not what the Club usually wants.

Lynn FC Ltd (07102863) Confirmation Statement for Companies House is overdue. It should have been filed on the 11th of December.

Whilst the form must be made up to 11th December, it was only due at Companies House by the 25th so just a week overdue which with Christmas holidays etc doesn't seem quite so bad.  I had hoped for some clarity in the Boxing Day programme notes but can't imagine SC has ever written a more bland two pages in his life although I haven't seen any other examples from this season so maybe it's been par for the course?

KLTFC to a certain extent reflects the state of the country. Over my quite lengthy lifespan a quality that we once took for granted has disappeared almost to the point of extinction....'common sense'......Doing the logical, sensible and to paraphrase Basil Fawlty, the bleeding obvious.!

Sorry Tony but they don't give any grace period. Correct it was due by the 25th, but the Club needed to make sure it was filed by that date, not a week after. Majority of people who had to file by the 25th would have made sure it was there prior to that date to ensure the Christmas Holidays did not interfere with it.

It's an online file, so it could have even been completed on Christmas Day if need be. It takes two minutes to complete (or 5 minutes if there's a change to PSC).

I don't think it could have been missed as notification is given in plenty of time, and reminders are sent.

I'll stick with the theory that there's about to be a change in PSC but someone decided to delay filing and accept a fine, rather than alert people (supporters) to potential changes.

If the next question is why would they do that.............

I didn't mean to excuse the club's lateness and yes you would expect a well run business to file these things on time.  As it turns out it seems there was nothing to report anyway as the situation on the 11th December remained unchanged as per the Confirmation Statement filed today.  Maybe something has or hasn't happened since then which supporters may or may not be informed of at some point?

That's my theory out the window then!

All rumours.

All rumours.

If there were more transparency there wouldn't be so many rumours ?

Very true.

[Mallard]

Maybe the negotiations are at a very delicate stage. If Jo and Bal don’t take it on where will that leave the Club ?  I mean SC stated this time last year he couldn’t fund it going forward.   

I do wonder if Jo and Co do take it on will there be any place for SC in a new set up ?
