What else can he do

What else can Ollie do. He has a squad of 28 ish ( I don’t know exactly) inexpensive and inexperienced players which he has to play obviously they came cheap. People call for a small squad of experienced and quality players. These players will not come to the club with the possibility of a 25% pay cut in their contract. (They don’t need to.)   These orders come from the top as always and we can all see it’s killing our club. Can anyone compile a list of all the good decisions the top table has made in the last 18 years for me there’s only one I can think of and that’s recruiting our latest manager. I say stick with Ollie he wants the best players he can attract here but if you put breadcrumbs on the bird table you won’t attract a golden eagle.

The budget this year must be half that of last season looking at last season you could see the kind of players Holloway brought in  Glennon, Benson,  Clarke ect. Good quality players for this level. I think even Holloway is  probably taken back by how inempt some of his signings are.  If we can stay up with this squad and then ship most of them out. Has I guess not many will be under contract in the summer. Then let's see what Holloway can do with a half decent budget. If Fenty gives him a half decent budget that is.

Are you suggesting he didn't do any checks or due diligence on any of these signings?

I think there-in lies one of the biggest differences between our 2 clubs ... due dilligence.

Imps have Jez George who does all the background work on players before even offering them to Appleton. The fringe players who played at Shrewsbury last night were dynamic and eager to impress (Elbouzedi, Roughan, Howarth Melbourne etc) without virtually any football league experience between them ... the average age of the team was 21 btw.

We’re all wallowing in self pity right now and don’t need you rubbing it in.

Are your own boards that excrement you have to come on here?

I think that was a sensible comment. I don't mind other club's fans coming on here, I have also posted on other clubs forums from time to time.

I don't even mind the sad urine takers, I get a good laugh out of some of them.

Commiserate yourself in the fact that message board's weren't around when Buckley was in charge first time around ... you'd have had a field day

Did your club exist then?!

We have recently acquired someone to do the background work on players. Let's see what he comes up with in Jan. It wasn't that long ago that Lincoln were floundering at the wrong end of the Conference. They went into the covid crisis in rude health, squad wise and financially. Things can and do change quickly in football.

We got hit while just starting to look half decent, and the squad got decimated. We now need to re-group and start again. It hasn't been the best of starts shall we say, but it can be turned around.
