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/ |

It just shows he's happy to work under the current conditions and get a big compo payoff if he's removed (or the club gets on when poached)! In a dream world it would show massive of investment is incoming. In the real world as of this moment, he's still got an inadequet squad. nothings changed. |

Arent they basically immune from FFP for the 1st season in the league? Thats what happened with Salford they abused the FFP but after not winning promotion in the 1st season had to regin in spending to adhere closer to the FFP rules. Although as we all know there are ways around these things with extra sponsorship deals like FGR did. |

This news could also add some fuel to the fire that Clem/Keily/anyone else is considering offers for the club. The first thing any new owner usually does is appoint their own manager, perhaps this is Clem giving Flynn some protection. I am not ITK in any way shape or form, just putting it out there.. |

Yes, it's one reason a club in the league below is a a better investment opportunity if you are looking to get some success. You can load up on getting a good team together, build momentum and and keep it going to push for the second promotion. |
