Title: Kings Lynn Town
Post by: wismo on March 02, 2021, 05:33:29 PM: Big article in Mondayâ€™s Daily Mail (page 13, sports section) on â€˜Clubs in crisisâ€™. Mr Cleeve saying they needed Â£300,000 to complete the season but are out of money. Culverhouse not happy.

Also heard that reserve players being asked if they would play in the first team for Â£50 a game. May see an exodus of high earners.

Post by: Burgh Boy on March 03, 2021, 08:41:09 AM: Yep - and could only name 4 subs too! Still a 2-2 draw gives them a vital point. Glad Sonny Carey doing well there at the moment and Bazza is a total legend. However, what is going on at King's Lynn Town is staggering and their published financial issues will be severely damaging to the club whether they escape relegation or not.

I gather they have both been furloughed. Must be because they are the 2 players in their squad on big wages.

Furloughed their own players, but then borrow one from another club.
