Michael O'connor

Quoted from newarkmariner

think he will go to the Gimps as they are throwing money around like confetti

Hardly. Its because we have generated money. We have broke our season tickets sales record.
The majority of our money from cup runs has been spent on our new academy/training ground. We pay good wages, but we can , when we have sold nearly 6k season tickets.

Plus we have a new chairman who does put money in, add to that we sold Alex for 250k, so we do have cash, yes, but we are hardly throwing it around. We spend it wisely and on the future,

As for O'Connor he lives a couple of miles out of Lincoln, whoever gets him is getting a very good player at this level.

I think you’ll find that St Danny & Prince Nicky will splash the cash this season, this will be interesting as they won’t lose either way as you’ll either go up or they’ll inevitably move to a bigger job.

Though it has to be said that makes them no different to most managers.

And you know this because?

And you know this because?

They are football managers and they are pretty much all tempted by status over loyalty

Thats how they ended up at Lincoln, that's how.

As soon as a better job comes along they will be history in Lincoln.

They were approached for numerous jobs at bigger clubs higher up the FL according to the several sources but never went. I agree that money usually wins out over loyalty any day but looking at the bigger picture they have a very loyal mantra with regards to players and themselves.

They will leave when it's right for them, maybe in a year, maybe two years. We will just enjoy the ride while it lasts. The big test will be how we go about appointing a new manager when they leave and if we can continue growing the club. Having Clive Nates as chairman now with his input and contacts should help us sustain a reasonably healthy period, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Your probably right, but they have already turned jobs down. its not beyond the realms of possibility that we will part with them first.
But having sold more season tickets than everyone in League 2 and a lot of L1, I imagine they think think they can take us further up the ladder. Our new chairman will really push us on, and we will move to a new ground soon so that will help too. If Burton etc can do championship then I am sure we both could.

But as you say they will if they do move us on, move further up the pyramid, Their absolute dream would be to manage West Ham, but I can't see that with the way the PL is run etc now.

Are they bringing on anyone internally to replace them?

Jamie McCombe is 1st team coach - Maybe him.

No problem with how you've generated your cash - good on you and i wish more clubs were like that, rather than relying on a sugar daddy billionaire.

But it is also probably not true that you haven't splashed the cash...i mean, how much must Bostwick be on??
