DCMS

kltid · July 20, 2025, 05:41:26 PM

I was shown a letter dated 15th July from the DCMS on Friday, which stated
"We have concluded that we do not hold information... for any recent communication from Lynn FC and/or TSI to DCMS related to the restructuring of debt, which we have interpreted as requests within the last year for changes to the terms of the Sports Survival Package (SSP) loan, that would affect the repayment schedule."
So I guess when Trust members are told "TSI is actively pursuing a loan re-profiling with DCMS to ease near-term repayment pressures," this is very recent.

DCMS is probably incorrect or very economic/pedantic with information/replies, but this needs confirming one way or another before the vote is finalised. Even if there is only the slightest chance of the DCMS information being correct, it's such an important point that clarification is required.

A Government Body. Believe me, mistakes have been known to be made.

Can't see it being correct myself but yes, an important point but one that can be very easily verified.

Needs sorting asap.

I wonder who the letter was addressed to?

Bal has said he has been making contact with DCMS, so think we should take him at his word. If not it really is a worry.

Really think this situation needs clearing up PDQ. Don't want rubbish like this hanging about. Let's not judge Bal until he gets the chance to clarify the matter.

I have just had sent to me this; send your next freedom of information request to Nick Boulter at Sport England who has been dealing with this. More disinformation getting as bad as Russia

According to the Club it's a DCMS loan not a Sports England loan. Unless you know different Vera Surely we can trust what comes out from the Clubs website. Especially on an important subject like the Club being taken over.

To facilitate this transition, Mr. Cleeve has agreed to step back from all operational matters. TSI has been granted irrevocable Power of Attorney to oversee the Club's decisions during this transitional period while regulatory processes are underway.
As part of the agreement, Mr. Cleeve has been granted the opportunity to pursue a creative commercial initiative designed to support the Club's financial recovery and help address legacy liabilities, including the outstanding DCMS loan. Further details of that initiative will be announced in due course.

Sorry Mal you need to do your homework before posting disinformation its The dept for culture media and SPORT. The sport part of the DCMS is run by Sport England. Keep up

Mallard · July 21, 2025, 08:44:59 AM

Just reading what the Clubs media dept put out, as you can see. As you are obviously a person of much greater knowledge you could show us where that knowledge has come from ?

And less of the the patronising 'keep up' Nobody loves a smart ass

Are you saying this is disinformation from the Club and their Media Department then? Or did the Media Team change what Bal actually wanted put out there................again!

How do you know the actual name of the person supposedly dealing with this matter at Sports England? I can't see where that's been reported anywhere so where did this information come from?

Marcus if you would still like to see the address the letter was sent to Im told its easy to find out. All you need to do is go on the website for DCMS and check the disclosure log in relation to any previous enquiry regarding the same subject. Will tell you all you need to know. The weird thing is the information about the loan was already out there so can only assume it was an attempt to muddy the waters. Maybe the person behind the whole thing would like to step forward and explain what the purpose of it all was but then again they probably wont.

Are you a Communist, or an advocate of a Police State?

Still no answers to questions that are put to you then?

Reminds me of when K U used to post.

Now I wonder why that is?

Now, is he the same person that got reprimanded for changing a Club bulletin

Apparently he claims to have set up a few people to post on his behalf. When people do that its only for one reason.

Just asking for a friend again.
