More Investment At Lincoln

Quoted from Cloudy

Are the new Lincoln investors buying shares or are they loans?
What return are they expecting or are they just making donations because of their love of the Imps?

I'm fairly sure they are investing by way of buying shares..

Quoted from nealeardleyscrossing

Whilst I sort of see the similarities with Hurts leaving - I think we are better placed, crowds/Finances than you were when Hurst left. But I suppose the main difference is your chairman.

There's no doubting that.  But it doesn't guarantee a decent appointment.

Great stuff for Lincoln. I am pleased for them; it just shows what our esteemed leader says is a load of old codswallop.

Lincoln is historically a small club - by most (all) markers smaller than GTFC but they have made good decisions, involved the right people and are clearly going in the right direction.

Even a small club which is well run can have great success, but we sadly have the worst of all worlds with an ego-driven owner who cannot attract anybody to invest, and the natural consequence of that is stagnation.

Of course not, think that counts at any level. I don't know, but I would imagine they would promote from within.

Do you think he spurns investment?

I am genuinely envious of Lincoln for the first time ever. In many ways it’s irrelevant debating whether or not they stick with the Cowleys when the going eventually gets tough as Lincoln will be such an attractive proposition to any manager that they’ll have a huge pool of talent to choose from. Contrast that to us, when Jolley goes we’ll have the usual pool of journeymen who are past it and all the young unknowns. When we were actually half-attractive (when Hursty left) we blew it by appointing that fruitloop Bignot. Then we were on the up, had some good players, were near the top of the table and the club and fans were in decent harmony. We blew that opportunity and now look at us, we must be one of the most “no way Pedro” clubs in the league!

Quoted from Impish2

the new investors don't expect to get anything back in return apart from investing in the football club.

LOL!

Mental.

Do you think he spurns investment?

I am sure he would welcome investment - on his terms!

I think the die is cast and his method of working and running the club is not attractive to other possible investors, despite us being one of the bigger league 2 clubs.

Someone pass me a sharp pin, my jealousy makes me want to burst their bubble.....as I wipe a tear from eye, swallow past a lump in my throat, I hear myself saying...
"Why on earth do we not have a board like theirs, a chairman who's proactive, not reactive and recognises that when the tide is turning things look brighter, who's riding the crest of a wave and making hay while the sun is shining"....
Instead, we've got he who's name I will not mention, who couldn't organise an orgy in a brothel and thinks changing a light bulb in a floodlight is his way of doing something right for the club....
Time for change.....but who will ever, ever invest into the sh!tshow that is currently GTFCs board!!!

Quoted from nealeardleyscrossing

It is surprising though that 40 miles away you can't get investment and we can, do you all genuinely think it just down to Fenty..

Er, yes it is.
