Sadly the greedy prem teams just want more and more ! Killing any real hope of competiveness bar the top 10 cant agree the new deal and just about killed the fa cup now with no replays.Your run and ours i doubt will happen again,killing the romance of football ( shame it wasnt the league cup )so they can play more european games and an expanded world club competition! Plus a ridiculous world cup.48? Teams.

Indeed. It’s all about more games for the TV companies. The players in the top clubs will be playing so many games that the clubs will have huge squads to cope with the high level of injuries that will result.

But it will give prem managers more opportunity to complain about the number of games as they board the plane to Bangkok for a friendly.

Quoted from Mappers

It's about a million a season . Lincoln's owners is about 3 million .

You could argue that the extra 2 million is just to be competive in league 1 (the clubs turnovers are pretty similiar) , bridging the gap so to speak , if we ever manage to get up we would more than likely need to do the same or be in a relegation battle every year .

This is why a profitable player trading model is so important as it helps bridge that gap. We can't rely on 1878 continuously plugging that gap because one day they won't do it anymore for whatever reason.

Yes. And the profit we made on Conteh is obviously the way to go. But that relies on us spotting such players ahead of other clubs. Hence the important of the recruitment specialist.

Obviously we have been building contacts up in Ireland and signing young players to develop. Not sure its still a great place to find talent anymore however you guys might not know but you can now look worldwide for talent ! Our recruitment team have a database i was told of 8500+ players.They obviosly would not say where from but apparently have 1 to sign in the summer already ,you apparently can sign 2 players(wildcards) worldwide.

That's true the last bit ,Artell talked about it in a recent interview so it will be interesting to see what 'out of the box ' signings clubs make .

Funny you mention Conteh, I thought he looked decent for you, but watching him yesterday for Bristol Rovers he as completely outclassed by Ethan Erhahon.

16 goals in 3 games is frankly ridiculous, and the first time ever that The Imps have scored 5 or more in 3 successive games. Good to see 9,000 Imps fans back inside the ground again too.

I honestly thought the Playoffs were a pipe dream a week ago, now with a 13 day much needed break, it’s very much ON.
