Woeful Linnets fall out of play off places.

[macfleetwood1]

I think we could moan about Saturday all day, but come to think about it , our home form has been dire, Played 20 at home and won 10, the creative players dont seem to feature most weeks, Tommy Hughes is wasted at Lynn, we just want players to chase after a big boot up the field. Two decent wide players, on the bench, no system? Oh there is, but the players on the park are getting it wrong?
Play offs? Dont bother.

Interesting comments Tony.  If there is no Jo next season and no other outside  investment  coming into the Club then maybe part time will be the natural outcome.    We were discussing this on the way home tonight.  As a part time Club who would the fans want in as Manager?

A.  Jimmy Dean B. Michael Gash C. Gary Setchell.  All 3 hare enjoying reasonably successful years at varying levels.

Who would Lynn fans go for ?

If those were the only choices (god help us) it would have to be Gash (with Luke Steele).

I thought that 'God' was running the club

Maybe SC could find us another Simon Clark or Mark Hughes.  Then you are spot on with God help us Paul.

Sometimes it’s better the devil you know

You're obviously easily pleased if you'd want Setchell or Dean here as manager!

I guess people see things differently and hindsight being a wonderful thing.

Setch did a decent job at Lynn gaining a couple of promotions then maybe a few average season but on what was a very limited budget.  Also did a reasonable job with Bedford and now at Corby, again working on a limited budget with a part time set up.  I certainly wouldn’t dismiss him as a candidate.

As for Jimmy Dean, worked wonders with Sports brining them through from Step 5 to step 2.  Full time time at Scunny with high expectations didn’t work out so well.  Now seems to be doing a decent job with Spalding at Step 3.    So again I wouldn’t just write him off.

Be interesting to know your ideal candidate Paul, who could do a job at Step 2 with a part time outfit.

[Paul47]

Kind of irrelevant really considering we're not a part time club....unless you know something even the club don't.

Dean only got Peterborough promoted due to a big budget and them "forgetting" to pay the tax bill. Allegedly has a big budget at Spalding....if rumours of what a certain former ex-Lynn striker is on are true, Sembie-Ferris is another who isn't on peanuts so to speak. Out of his depth at step 2 - the biggest budget in the league and flopped at Scunthorpe.

Setchell does a decent job wherever he goes, and always keep an eye out on how he id doing, but I'm a believer in never going back and not sure he's the right manager to get a club out of step 2 which obviously this club want to do.

[Mallard]

Dean did a decent job at Sports at step 2.  Agree though he couldn’t handle the high pressure job at Scunny. I’ll bow to your much greater knowledge of finances he is working with at Spalding as I have no idea on such matters.

My original post was just a little toe in the water based on what  IF next season we didn’t continue working with full time squad.  I’m sure if the full time mantra is continued with then Lakeland will be at the helm.

Interestingly Culverhouse managed to get out the Club up into step one with a relatively locally based squad, on a part time basis.  History teaches us much.

Just imagine where we would be if we didn't play this rather dull style of football? We could very easily be occupying a top 3 position and that's not impossible with the majority of this squad that we have as they have shown on a few occasions what they're capable of. A few tweaks over the summer and a general change in philosophy by the manager and I have no doubt next season we will be up there. In my opinion I think it has been another poor league where if any team had something about them they would be walking away with it by now.

Oh well, let's just see the season out and see where we end up. I'll carry on turning up and supporting the club through thick and thin   

I think we need much more than a ‘few tweaks’. We’ve not had a reliable forward all season, we simply haven’t scored enough goals. The manager isn’t going to change his style of football, we would be much better in replacing him. He has had his chance with ‘his team’ and not really impressed. We play unattractive, boring to watch football, long ball looking for Omotayo who just doesn’t cut it. It’s time for a change of manager.

Glad I was away on holiday.
Is the club going to be here next season with rumours re Joe and costs. Is Sc jumping ship as he is running out of cash?
Without serious backers and crowds of 800 we cannot afford FT football.
if PT next season where are we getting these wonderful local players everyone keeps going on about.
Will AL and et al go?
If so who will come to manage the mess left?
Step forward an oracle cos I can’t see this carrying on.
