Yes, tongue in cheek comment aside, is this good news? Absolutely, the first bit in a while.

Genuinely really positive news, Flynn perhaps not as grumpy behind the scenes as I'd be in his position. I suppose the difference between him and Morris (well, one of the differences) is that Flynn knows what to expect in the lower leagues and doesn't expect Cobham and staff to cover every possible need. Kudos to the club for sorting this and hopefully players renewing will follow.
Was thinking about this the other day, what contracted players would we realistically want to tie down for longer? FBT, McEachran, Khan, Hutton? That’s it isn’t it? |

I'd offer them both something. RHM is an effective L2 wildcard sub. |

You'd hope Flynn has had some reassurances... not that Clem's are worth much but hey.

That is good news for the club and secured Flynn for a while yet, so if he does get poached we will be adequately compensated.
I like Flynn, he comes accross as seeing things a lot as we all see them post games etc, he reminds me of a more likeable version of Wellens.

How does this news square with the moaning minnies and ITK's who think Flynn has been screwed over by Clem?

Flynn contract extension until 2026
Why now ? while I have no issue with this, he has not shown anything over and above what is expected, we are not run away leaders so why is their a reward of new contract ? The life span of a FL manager is generally around 18 months, with exceptions. |

Those clubs without significant budgets but have been promoted in recent years have typically had managerial stability, likes of Exeter, Cheltenham and Northampton. Given we arent going to be back in the significant budget category anytime soon, this is a very positive move. |

That’s what I find depressing. 50% of the ground is exactly as it was when I first went in 1968. Shame on them all.
Thats a bit harsh- seats have been added to the Town End and Stratton bank and the Sir Don Rogers stand was a 90's thing.  |

Always been the case for us - no success has ever been built upon. All short term, line me pockets while I can, stuff. That’s what I find depressing. 50% of the ground is exactly as it was when I first went in 1968. Shame on them all.
Wasn't the North stand built in 1971 & the DRS in 1993 |

Not on the Flynn topic, but interesting on Wrexham's losses in the last two years topping £10m. Rather puts 'we might lose 500k' into perspective, doesn't it? And I imagine their sponsorship deals and other income make ours look tiny with the whole Netflix thing. Raises a few FFP eyebrows for sure. https://therealefl.co.uk/2023/11/03/wrexham-owners-announce-losses-since-takeover/ |
