All the supporters of King Lynn and Folkestone have been saying that Walker is resigning is this true?

Walker could well be resigning if no new backer comes in to keep his, Humes and the players wages (so I heard today). Several players would almost definately leave (Walkers players) among these Turner, Tydeman, Overton, Barr, Powell, Rowland, Roser and possibly Barnes, Larkin, Royston, Dolby and Searle. This doesn't leave very many senior players. I wonder what would happen if this does occur, squad/team, temporary and also long term management situation.

Reading between the lines, some players would go but some would stay - PD said that the budget, while lower, would still be 'very competitive' for the division we're in. There's little doubt that the management team would go but equally - given our big lead at the top and a reasonably decent budget - it's pretty certain that a good manager could be found as a replacement. Looking on the bright side we probably don't have to accumulate that many more points to make sure we finish top seven - if we fail to get a Conf 2 place, it may be a blessing in disguise.
PS. I think Razor - with his applause to all corners of the ground when subbed - made it clear that he thinks he's played his last game for us.

I think you are under estimating the loyalty with in the dressing room towards the management and over estimating the loyalty of the players towards the club. Most of the team have followed Walker around from club to club (Sittingbourne, Fisher and Chatham briefly), most of the squad has played at atleast one of these clubs whilst Walker has been there, therefore I think it is very optimistic to think that more than a few of the younger players will stay once Walker finds a new club (I don't think he'll find it hard do you?), we may find the squad without any players over the age of 22. I think it is imperrative that we find a new backer to keep Walker and the current squad at the club otherwise it will be 18 months of progression down the pan. Mr Paul Dainty could you please shed some light as to whether we are likely to be watching a managerless side at kings lynn on saturday?
