Also one thing Lincoln did do with all of the fa cup cash was build a brand new training ground which cost 1.3 million...which obviously helped with the progression

Lincoln's model is now one of signing players to make a profit and that will take a little while to bear fruit. We have just sold Grant to Peterborough, but have turned down large bids for Edun Tayo from Peterborough and Luton - Peterborough said we had priced them out of the move.. The lad we have just signed from Spurs will make money too when we eventually sell and that is what we will do - But that does cost - I hear we are paying him 400k a year.- Appleton has already said we will lose players this year it is just the model we use now, and where we realise we are - We can then do that to lower league clubs - This does allow us to buy players though and we are have bid 200k for a player from Scotland and have bid for a striker from Bristol Rovers.

Whilst we have lost money - We are a well established League 1 club, and have great training facilities and our pitch has been completed redone this year at a huge cost - upwards of 500k. The Stacey West is having an extra tier added - Hence the temporary stand whilst the roof is taken off - Plus there have been huge renovations to the changing rooms, seats and the installation of digital Advertsing around the pitch.

I know Pen Penfras would like to revel at us making a loss but the reality is we are moving in the right direction - We have also just had a huge investment from an American consrtium led by Landon Donavan - I am fairly certain we are in the right hands - Though this year will be tough we will not get relegated - Unfortuantely losing 3 loanees has hurt but we have 2 bids in, so I am sure will be okay.


the stacey west still the away end? is the additional tier for home or away?

i bear no malice towards lincoln, they did what we failed to do

I am not sure to be honest - They have put a temporary stand next to it (Like a bus stop) - I belive they are taking the top off and then extending it - will take capacity to about 13ish I think.

They’ve now got him. £180,000 rumoured price.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Yeah I heard £200,000. Plus a 3-year deal which I'm guessing at £3,000 to tempt him away from League One?
£150,000 per annum for next 3 years £450,000 plus £200,000 fee for a National League player... WOW.

Just need to let them get on with it. Parkinson doesn't have the greatest reputation and he's got the very difficult job of keeping these players happy. Assuming they want to play games that is.

What you have to remember with Wrexham is they’re owned by a couple of blokes with absolutely no idea about football, they’ve given the keys to Shaun Harvey and his mates who have run not only football clubs into the ground previously, but our entire football pyramid.

I like Wrexham, I hope for their fans they get some level of success but I’m extremely concerned for them, it has all the hallmarks of disaster.
