I totally agree - What I meant was that we had a 4 million turnover compared to a fraction of that the year before, and we could have spent it on the team, but I think spending it on the infrastructure, New state of the art training ground, bodes well for the future - Makes us a more attractive proposition for investment and for new players. Cowley states that we are playing catch up with Luton, Coventry and the likes but that we are catching them.

You must have spent some cash, You've a fairly big squad haven't you?.



We sold Bogle for £1m last season but have completed wasted it on two squads of 30 players, most of them absolute garbage in all honesty. I'd much rather have done what you did and have a squad of 20-21 players of high quality and begun improving the training facilities etc.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

We favour quantity over quality. Why have 22 good players, when you can have 32 mediocre ones seems to be our mantra. You can plan all you like, but if the manager doesn't deliver......

Our other skill is picking duff ones time and time again. The last one shipped out all of our better players, no doubt aided and abetted by the board of directors. It's as though they want to go back to non league.

I wonder how much of the Bogle money went to pay the fees and wages for Osborne, Jones, Clements and Gunning? A substantial chunk, I'd imagine. We'll have made a bit back from the transfer of Jones, no doubt, but basically a lot of money drunk away with little to show for it but a plummet towards the bottom of the table.

I wonder how many of the new Lincoln fans will turn up for the game at 3 pm.  😂


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Your boardis full of greedy businessmen.  I was told that you made 5 mill but only declared 3 mill from someone who use to be at your club.  He also told me a few other stories that had me chuckling.

That's a pretty damning and libellous post there - Accusing LCFC's board of tax evasion - Our accounts were released recently, 4 million was definitely mentioned, though it says that revenue was up by 3 million so I imagine we had revenue last year - Greedy businessman - That have invested all the money to the club - Just for you though - here is the accounts link https://www.redimps.co.uk/news/2018/february/180213-accounts/

lets hope they don't read those comments though as accusing someone of fiddling the books...

A board full of greedy businessman, God forbid...

At least their greedy business are competent, unlike the hopeless bunch of chancers in our boardroom.

Invested big in the divisions smallest squad  
We've spent cash, but the biggest investment is on the infrastructure, the 1 million on the training ground, lots of extra staff, New on-line ticketing systems, We are planning for the future, Maybe if your club did...

I think you will find that most of the sensible fans were happy with consolidating, I genuinely believe that we would have got bashed about had/if we go up this season.


totter off now and look forward to your 2nd year of supporting the Gimps
