John Akinde

Quoted from jamesgtfc

If true, him, Bostwick and Frecklington earn a combined £10k per week. I imagine Matt Green isn't cheap either. I can't see him settling up north myself.

He is relocating to the area with his family, so that will help. He played a season at the delights of Alfreton so I reckon he can slum it living around here for a few seasons. Not sure he will be on 4k a week or not because even one of our bloggers that has a lot of insider knowledge doesn't know his wage but I imagine he will be on a similarly decent amount to Freck and Bostwick.

We can for once afford to spend wages on good players and have earned that right, though the chairman and his sportsvest board members have chipped in with some considerable money recently.

Why on Earth have we got a 13 page thread on Akinde.

Yep, Lincoln have had £250k invested recently and another £150k or so invested this week. This is on top of selling season tickets out, player sales, profit from attendances and cup runs in the last two years.

This proves, despite the claims of Fenty and Marley and their supporters on here, that there ARE people who are happy to invest money in unfashionable lower league football clubs with dilapidated stadiums...if they trust the people they’re investing in to provide a return.

It’s not GTFC that aren’t an attractive proposition - it’s the people running the show, who are supposed to be making some money.

I hope this clears things up for some of you.

Great signing at this level.

Hard to sign a proven goalscorer as we have found out.

At this level? He was at this level last season in a team that got relegated!

Players are only as good as their last season and last season Akinde was poor!

My thoughts too. Not bothered who they sign. We will smash em home and away. We’re the Pride of Lincolnshire. Michael Jolley’s Black and White Army!!

Ah, f@ck this, to all those gimps that jump.on OUR forum and think they're better than us and doing oh so well signing a striker that falls over easy them.Neymar....up yours, we are Grimsby,...we are the ones with the footballing history and a true, loyal fan base that are through thick n thin...when Akinde only scores 8 goals, you can stop sucking cowleys man bits and take a dose of realism, your fans are plastic, false and living on the glory of one season...now I'm off for a lay down in a dark room and kicking the dog on the way past!!

Do your research, Akinde was based on the South when he played for Alfreton and rarely trained with his team mates.

Accrington bucked the trend but titles (and promotions) are usually funded one way or another these days .

I think you’re clearly having a great run but a lot of it feels based upon “6 numbers on a Saturday night”,or indeed a rich man “living the dream”.

What an illogical load of twaddle. In a side that was shockingly poor for the first 85% of the season and wasn't making chances, just how many goals should Akinde have scored?

Sad to say there's a lot of pettiness n bitterness in this thread.lets be honest.the lcfc front line of rhead,green n Akinde knocks our forward line of cook, Robles and cardwell into a cocked hat

Why?.....ours is an unknown quantity...you could well be choking on those words come the end of the season, but conversely you might just get better odds...nothing like supporting your own team over local rivals...like I've said, sod them.all and concentrate on your own!!UTM
