Plus, it is even more likely that our reputation as an incubator of talent (Henderson, Embleton) will mean teams will loan us their 'promising' players - I suspect Glennon will rejoin us.

I agree with the majority here - if CV wants to move on then good luck to the lad.

Having said that how much truth is there in the rumour that he's off to Burton - he may just be sitting on the fence & still sign for us if nothing better comes up?

Noticed that Benson was on the bench for Burnley last Sunday.

So his contract ended 30 June, who is paying him now? Unless he has signed and it has not been announced he is unemployed without a wage. Very scary time to be a footballer with no contract.
So, if a move to another club does not happen do we take him back with open arms, or say no as his commitment to Town is lacking?

Anyone out of contract on 30th June and without a club gets paid by their old club until 31st July so it's not quite panic stations but it's definitely squeaky bum time.

We don't know what the reason was for not taking up the option before the deadline.
But it is now what it is. Footballers are not fans they will go where it suits them - usually finance related.
CV is no different - I hope we have left the offer on the table & to not take him back if he doesn't get a better offer would be as the adage goes - like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Rock On.

I believe that he has a house in the Derby area, and stays with his family in Caistor. If that is the case then he would save a fair amount in travelling, so Burton wouldn't have to offer him much more than us to make it viable.

Criticise our board all you like but we've always paid our dues. Go back to ITV Digital and we are one of the few troubled clubs to pay HMRC every penny.

Clubs are part of the community and you can't make long serving staff redundant and then find money to sign a player the following week. It absolutely stinks.

It's the performance of the players / team that keeps the long serving staff in a job

Well given that you may wish to clarify how that applies in action given Lincoln have been filling their ground for three seasons on the bounce, have had a cup run bringing in over £2m, promotion, a successful trip to Wembley and have already sold 4000 season tickets for next season?

So you are saying that Lincoln have money, it's even more disgusting to make long term employees redundant, then sign a player.
I understand a player, has more financial benefit, than office staff, just does not sit well with me.

How can a club pull the wonderful community spirit card having done this? £2m from a cup run and filling your ground every week is a perfect opportunity to put some money to one side for a rainy day.

It just stinks and I am sure a few Lincoln fans will be disgusted by this too.
