Akinde

It was shortly after Olly joined , on Humberside on the way home from work.

So what is happening at Lincoln?

I hear they lost £2.2million last season in getting up, presumably through signing the likes of Akinde and paying silly money in wages. apparently they spent £1.5million on players. So at least we now know the price of buying the L2 title.

Are they now cutting back? Has whoever it was funding this club had enough of flushing cash down the toilet?

They made a considerable amount of money on their various cup runs (reckoned to be over a million), and in the fee for the Cowleys from Huddersfield (another million buy all accounts). So has all that money gone now?

This is all guesswork and rumour on my part. Anyone out there have the actual facts?.  

EDIT: Just seen the other thread, which explains everything!

There's a difference between an owner heavily subsidising a club with a huge pot of non-football related cash, than spending money a club has generated through massively improved gate receipts.  Lincoln pretty much did the latter.  If you have the money coming in legitimately, then you have a larger budget than everyone else.  I wouldn't call that 'buying' the title at all.
