    Could Kings Lynn be the surprise team?

    ” I know we are under serious financial constraints and I understand why but prioritising a CEO over players I do not understand. ”
    Haven’t we just spent the summer recruiting players?
    So hardly prioritising a CEO is it?
    We still have the spine of last year which failed us ,same pointless/pointing captain and ridiculous child up front . We cannot sack them and only have so much budget, thankfully a few overpaid players left .We could attempt to buy the league and fail like awaywego’s mate did and let the club rot.

    Summer recruitment provided 1 regular starter and, as you point out, we therefore have mainly last years first XI. If promotion is the aim (and we all hope it is) then do we have the players to achieve that, they didn’t last year. So it’s not hard to argue that additions are required to achieve that and we are told that funds are available, how many points will the CEO win us?

    CEO… pretentious and aspirational and has no relevance to clubs outside of the premier league giants.

    Operations Manager or Club Secretary sits better at our level.

    Obviously I’m hoping for a convincing win.
    However, I think it’ll be a draw.
    Probably 1-1

    Change of mind.
    We will win 2-1 or 3-0

    HOWE about that!

    Dec scores Gainsborough’s second in their 4-1 win at Clitheroe in the FA Trophy 1st Round.

    prioritising a CEO over players I do not understand. I hope it’s not Jim, sorry James, Rodwell – surely we learnt from that fiasco.

    Rodders took us to the cleaners.
    £5K a week… for what?
    He soon hightailed it when Swann eventually cut the budgets.
    For five years, SUFC was the land of milk & honey.

    Some right cranky b****rs on here ATM, chill out guys it’s a long season.

    PMT: the fear of Promotion Missed Twice could be the reason?

    Hard to get an idea on the feeling amongst fans as it’s flat on here and it’s the Stuart Maw show over the road.

    ‘Over the road’… on Facebook?

    Apologies, I monkeyed up my first attempt at this post.

    They were pasted by Hereford today but it’s looking as if it’ll be a draw on Tuesday?

    Simple.
    The players aren’t good enough.
    The manager isn’t good enough.

    Jimbob was dismal.

    Butler needs to change very quickly or he’ll lose the fans!
