My take on things are:-
We’ve no big investor behind us, we very little chance of getting a new stadium in my lifetime and no 7 day a week income stream. We are also not in a good place geographically or aesthetically.
So we will bumble on for as long as we can with nothing more than minor and infrequent success and I’m afraid that’s just the way it is.
That said I’ve got my ST and I’m hoping to enjoy the ride next season.

That's the way it looks, but if you re-read Ska's original post you will see there are ways to maximise income which the club are leaving to one side. You've got to gain every edge that you can, and the sense I get is the club is content to bumble along.

yet another £150k put into Lincoln by investors...
[tweet]1022478207046496261[/tweet]
That’s the equivalent of us having sold another 478 season tickets this morning.
How many have we sold, by the way? Absolute silence from the club...

I would imagine that is to cover the two loan signings we have made this week. They are decent players and will be on good wages, of which we will be paying now. We would certainly never be able to buy Wharton, , their fans think he should be in their team, he signed a 3 year deal last week. The lad we have just got from Bradford on a season loan, cost them over 200k last year from Accrington so I imagine he is decent dollar too.

Directors buying shares? Ridiculous, why aren't they loaning the Club benignly?

Has to be promotion this season surely? Investment in promotion otherwise people come under pressure, Imps will be no different to any other club in that regard

Yep, heard that figure myself. Never sustainable. Just gambled on getting back to the Championship and more tv riches

I don't think anything would change dramatically if we didn't get promoted. Not getting to the play offs would be frustrating given we have a much stronger squad than last season IMO. However lots of teams have also recruited well so it's not a league with that many stand out teams. I reckon the chairman would be pretty patient and understanding if we didn't have as good a season even if this seems unlikely, he isnt like Dale Vince and think it's our divine right to do well.

Surely it is not about tge strength of squad more about the money invested? Nobody invests the huge sums ( for league 2) your guys have without expecting a return. That return surely has to be promotion? Even before the latest big signings having 3 guys earning a combined £10k pw plus fees and signing on money demands 'success'. Same situation applies at Notts if Nolan doesnt get promotion he will be out
