I quoted last week that Huddersfield had reportedly offered a salary of £1.5m per annum as opposed to £140k at Lincoln, that is pretty life changing especially if it’s a 3 year contract. Given that offer not surprised they have moved on but a little surprised at the destination always thought Ipswich or Norwich would be where they ended up.

Hopefully, the replacement will get things back to normal and my visits to the pub will not be accompanied by constant banter on the mighty Imps.

I think the parachute payments and the fact Huddersfield kept to a strict budget in the Prem may have a lot to do with it.


Good point, but they can't do anything with that money until January.  That's a long way away........

Quoted from Heisenberg

It's not like Huddersfield is one of those "when they come knocking, you can't say 'no'" type of clubs.


If they are paying you enough to set you up for life, then saying yes might be a good idea, regardless of the likelihood of success in the longer-term.

Huddersfield will have a heck of a wodge of money coming from their parachute payments so they ought to have a shout of becoming promotion contenders in the longer term. If the Cowleys can drag them up into mid-table this season, they ought to have a good bit to spend in comparison to many other clubs. Certainly an order of magnitude (or two) more than they've had in the past.

now confirmed. Michael Jolley now the 31st longest serving manager in the 92, and he's only been with us for 2.5 years!


Not quite, he’s only been with us 18 months.

I won't  miss all "The Cowley's this and the Cowley's that" stuff to be fair and reckon they'll do well at Huddersfield, well enough to take them back to the Prem? Who know's? but they'll have a bundle of parachute money to have a good go.

I don't watch the Championship much but it looks a world away from The NL, L2 and L1.

As for the Gimps I'd be looking at Adkins if he's not working already.

Well, no more explanation needed. That really is a no brainier, we’d all do it.

To be fair n square, for as much as I was sick to the back teeth of Gimps going on about the Cowley's, the brothers grim have done a cracking job at getting Lincoln, as a club, to where they are now, but if they cannot adapt to a completely different level of pressure and expectancy they'll be in the mire and regretting leaving in no time...
As for Adkins, wouldn't be at all surprised to see him in at Lincoln, but wondering if he'd drop to league 1..

Bloody fat fingers! Terrible indictment though that he's likely to be in the top 30 longest serving managers well before he's even completed 2 years with us
