He is clearly an upgrade on Elliot, as for injury prone he averages nearly 40 games a season, bar the last one where he had an injury. He would have had a stringent medical, but were he injury prone, Notts would not have offered him 2 improved deals in the last week, their chairman would not have questioned his loyalty were he not upset at leaving, and Jolley would not have offered him to be the best paid player at your club. So as for trusting Jolley he wanted him.

You must be very involved, not just in Lincoln City, but football in general to lnow what other clubs contract offers do and do not include. I though i read Notts County saying he goes with their thanks and best wishes but acknowledge that you have access to indepth conversations between 3rd parties

Oh, here we go with the gloating........

You can tell how little success the imps had had in their entire history when, after two good seasons, they are infecting other boards like a rash.

Not sure why they need skilled midfield players though. The main requirement to play for Lincoln is to be able to toe poke the ball 90 yards without it bouncing

Their chairman, Hardy kicked off on twitter. Their fans kicked off.
People close to your club said Jolley wanted him, Would be fairly obvious you would have had to have offered him more than most of your team being a captain at a top end L2 club.

Can't have it both ways - We trust Jolley implicitly, he is a messiah. Then when a player chooses us over you, we didn't want him, he is injury prone etc tec - Your manager did want him.

I'm not gloating I am reacting to posts about our player, and I guarantee if he had signed for you, you would have gloated.
Rhead won't start for us next season at all. No one will be happier about that than me.

Im not being funny but i couldn't give a flying fook.  You want to sign a midfielder on high wages who has had 2 really bad injuries (which have an impact to his game) and was awful at BP...go ahead.  I cant help who MJ goes in forim just glad we lost the battle on this one thank god.

And a piece of advice your on a mariners forum so i would be careful what u post.  Why are all gumps deluded. 🙄

i guarantee i have never been near your message board and have no intention of ever doing so. That is just weird to me!

I wonder who it was who is 'close' to our club who told you we wanted to sign him ( I have no doubt we expressed interest) and make him our highest paid player?

Seems to me that Lincoln ,like Notts county, are looking at taking another step forward by spending big money and improving thir 'stock' .theyve let the lad go to us because they look to have brought in someone of higher quality. We are a couple of seasons behind. We think we have improved because we've brought in a decent player from a team that made the play offs, which is an improvement on the very average midfield of last season. I would guess o' Connor has chosen the imps because they've outbid us and he sees more chance of success with Lincoln, and given the cowleys track record he's probably not far wrong.
In essence Lincoln are aiming for promotion whereas (IMHO)we are aiming to be play off challengers. And all this is really resting on the hope that Jolley turns out be the messiah . Cue the red crosses........
