Agree. I see Michael Appleton is being interviewed by Lincoln
That's them ruled out of promotion for this season then what with the 'transitional period'.

Good club, Lincoln. New training ground, huge number of season ticket holders (they have more of them than our total average home attendance), financially stable and the entire city is behind them. There’s a Lincoln season ticket holder at my work who goes back up from London every other weekend. I went to a game with him in their Conference promotion season away at Solihull, and it was electric even on a Tuesday night. Constant noise and more than 1,000 of them travelled. They take 2,000 - 3,000 fans to away games multiple times per season. It all reminds me of our club during the promotion season, only they’ve had it for three years and have huge momentum.with the greatest respect to Lincoln i am very surprised he has even considered it.
Think that’s a very biased view, doubt many people in football would take that viewAppleton would be best off coming back here!
Tend to agree, I thought his next challenge would be a bigger club looking to get into or already in the Championship and staying there. Coventry, Ipswich, Sunderland, Portsmouth from our division. Or any of the top 19 in the Championship.It doesn’t make sense Lincoln. Two quick promotions, and may get another but whoever manages at the moment surely wouldn’t be tasked with promotion this season.
Bolton would be a challenge if they could afford his wages after all that has gone on there.
I felt sure his next challenge would be higher up the leagues not in L1
If Brentford can get promoted and become an established Championship club, and Burton can have a couple of seasons up there, Rotherham can be a yo-yo club etc, there's no reason why Lincoln can't strive to get beyond this division even if only for a season or two, which is all any manager is tasked with initially. They sold out of season tickets in 48 hours this summer - nearly 6,500 of them - without a single player signing by that point. We had around 5,600 home fans total at the weekend. The same day, they had well over 8,000 home fans at theirs. They're riding the crest of a wave, and that counts for a lot.Don’t agree - they’re at their upper limit whoever takes over.
I don't disagree with any of that, but I think Appleton should be managing at a higher level than league 1 and even if Lincoln get promoted to the Championship, I don't see them being competitive there.If Brentford can get promoted and become an established Championship club, and Burton can have a couple of seasons up there, Rotherham can be a yo-yo club etc, there's no reason why Lincoln can't strive to get beyond this division even if only for a season or two, which is all any manager is tasked with initially.

A lot of yellow tinted glasses on this forum.

Part of the new cost-cutting measures their chairman has been talking about?
