Would you want him back ?

The difference between Cleeve and new owners is blindingly obvious. No new owners no Club. The new owners have been covering the huge shortfall since January 2024 and without there financial support we would not have a Club and if we did it certainly would not be at this level.

The worry for some fans is that TSI share some of the responsibility for 'the huge shortfall'.  Given where we were in January 2024 surely the prudent thing would have been to make changes for the 2024-25 season?  You can presumably understand why fans would question the levels of subsidy required that Bal was talking about at the May meeting and why things needed to change for 2025-26 although how much was subsequently implemented is perhaps open to debate.

Whilst some might be ok with the Club maybe in administration and then playing in the UCL again others may finally say enough is enough with Kings Lynn Football Club and get another team to support on a Saturday.
At the moment we have an owner who is prepared to try and take the Club forward even with half million owed to the DCMS on top of whatever other problems they have inherited.
Be grateful for what you've got you will certainly miss it if its gone unless of course you've got a spare million to invest in a football Club.

As one of those of who was around in 2009, I can assure you I never want to see a repeat of that experience.  That said, ever since reformation fans have been told to be grateful to anyone who has been prepared to throw money at the club but that shouldn't mean their actions and decisions should be above question

I'm going to thank the girl at the Tesco checkout and tell her how grateful I am for her allowing me to spend my money and shop there!

What if you have, but you're just not that stupid?

Far less stressful ways of losing a Mill I would suggest.  Perhaps Bal would like to try it with his own money?.

I know its an old one, but ya go!

The only way to make a small fortune out of a Football Club, is to start off with a big one.

Some months ago we had "lots of offers on the table" then we were going tits up. Then a miracle happened and this guy from Asia turns up with pots of money Then Bal turns, up and we seem to be back to square one .And would you believe it Cleeve is still there!!! Is this a Christmas Fairy Tale?

I just hope anyone considering investing £1million in this or any other football club, doesn't come for a look on this forum, beforehand.

I just hope anyone considering investing £1million in this or any other football club, doesn't come for a look on this forum, beforehand. 

Why?

Would you rather them fall into a trap and lose their hard earned money, so a few people get to watch 90 minutes of football on a Saturday afternoon at a level higher than the club can afford or at a price they are willing to pay? I've never understood why some supporters (not just Lynn) think that their Saturday afternoon entertainment should be subsidised by others.

I'd much rather any investor join us and be aware of everything, warts and all. I'd rather them do full due diligence and take notice of as much information they can find out there.

Maybe that's a lesson Jo has learned from his experience.  My money's on that he'd never repeat anything such as this again. If he was going to, surely TSI would be far more involved with other projects already, and not have Lynn FC as their only customer.

"We never expected to end up owning a football Club".

Either I've  hit a nerve and there has been an attempt to divert from my point, that there is an awful lot of negativity and general grumbling on this forum, or this was a genuine belief that I would like someone to invest "their hard earned money", in a football team without them doing the proper research into a club's finances and overall situation.

I would suggest, that there is little likelihood that someone who had the nous and ability to "earn" £millions would not do their homework. I would also suggest, the last place they would start, if wishing to do a deep dive into the financial status of said club is the fan's forum. Maybe the inherited super rich would simply take a punt on a whim.

On that note, let's hope we don't discourage any famous Hollywood actors. 

[Mallard]

Fenlander have to admit there has been a lot to feel negative about of late.  I guess a Crowd of 750 at the last home game might suggest I'm not alone.

Such a shame that neither Roger Taylor (Queen) or George Russell (F1) appear to be interested in football?!

Stephen Fry is very local to Lynn and a big Norwich City supporters.

Come on Stephen, lets be having you!

If he was here, we'd almost certainly have to raise the bar higher!

Never mind Queen. The Court Jester's still knocking about apparently.

Roger Taylor didn't he make a few Wimbledon semi's ?

He is getting on a bit now, so if a semi is all he can manage these days, it hardly unexpected!
