Can’t wait for mine to come in the post .

Rumour has it you get a matching tie pin if you’re a member of Kenilworth/ Leamington SC . This will be part of the away ticket packages ( no points required ) .

If he had handed his notice in surely he would be on gardening leave rather than being quoted on the website about the good job his has done

don’t think it’s as simple as that at a football club especially during its busiest time

But I thought king was being hands on with everything so why would he be needed?

doubt he’ll be able to do everything especially with preseason starting Monday. Would need to handover etc… not as though he’s just a admin person.

Two points of order:

- It was Doc Browns DeLorean
- It went backwards in time 30 years, if we did that we’d be Premier League.

Yes. She owned the Time Machine. That’s why she never got older.

boddy has handed his notice in. As for robins, haven’t heard anything about that. as I’ve said, all is not great behind the scenes, has this escalated down, I don’t know.

How do you escalate down ?

Does anyone care the Dave Boddy is moving on ? That’s football. That’s business.

IF Robins leaves, so soon after signing a 3 year deal to replace the rolling 12 month shambles that we had previously then we should be concerned.

IF we fail to attract our target players for reasons different to every other year, then we should be concerned.

Long time reader and more recently started posting my thoughts on here. One thing I've noticed is the general mood of comments on the message board is overwhelmingly negative. As a message board SBT is definitely glass half empty.

Having read through many of the top threads on here

DK is clueless. Not listening to his team Making poor decisions. Bad decisions and execution of season ticket prices. Result, record season ticket sales and we are not even on general sale yet.

DK has screwed up corporate sales. Jury is out on that. I suspect sales will be not too bad and CCFC will probably benefit from.the rise in prices.

DK has misjudged shirt sponsor. Let wait till late August. Apparently we have record shirt sales this year

DK is our of touch regarding transfers in and out. Seems to me recruitment is pretty good so far. Scouting network in first, transfers after. Too early to call in my book.

Positivity people...

I disagree. It’s a forum. I may agree with one or two of your points but dont have to agree with the negative aspects of them. Ain’t life great?

Because you have influential people who king has upset. One influential person who the players and manager respects has been shafted by King. That’s where the issue could arise when it works it way down to where it matters the most and his has nothing to do with boddy

If it was that toxic King would have put him out on gardening leave straight away. Who cares if Boddy has gone or not? Not exactly irreplaceable is he?

If it was that easy I’m sure they would have. not irreplaceable but also not easy to find a instant replacement either

Of course it is that easy - stay at home and we will pay you until you have served your notice. Happens all the time.

At our busiest time of the year when we have no sponsor, clearly boddy involved with the discussions with Hummel etc… too not to mention players contracts, potential signings etc…

@GIMOC is clearly an Overson lover boy who is throwing his toys out the pram because the owner no longer wishes to engage with him. Move over and don't be salty

Doesn't sound like he will be that focused on it all the way you have painted the picture? Why would King trust someone who will only have to give a months notice to leave, who is so upset with new owners policy, that he trust them to sort out potentially long term deals?

Not saying you haven't heard stuff but think you are magnifying it all. Most these 'high' ranking people have confidentiality clauses in their terms and conditions. So suggesting people go down the pub and blab is bollocks in my experience.

Would have thought more. I'm on 3 months but not at c-level. Would it not typically be 6 months to a year?

In your determination to damage King's reputation. You aren't actually doing the other parties any favours with your headline drama. Because you make them sound, unprofessional, moaning gossips.

determination? Far from it. Just relaying what I told.depends what way you want to interpret what’s said. It’s far more then just boxes too
