I agree it was a funny evening – a decent performance on the pitch and a great result – but a feeling that we had lost one member of the great team and others will follow.
But I managed to realise just where LCFC is at this moment and where it needs to stay. We need to be financially sound – we don’t want to be a Bolton or a Bury – so we do have to have a greater income from player sales than we spend on new players. So when we have significant assets that are going to lose value over the next 6 months (end of player contracts) we have to take that cash whilst it is there. It is that money that will run the football club in 2020-21.
We have established the academy to create quality football players, both schoolboys and transfer players from lower leagues – this is how we will survive and prosper.
Manager and Directors all recognise this and are pulling together. I am sure it will work and I am betting the Imps will be in the Championship in the 2022-23 season, if not before!
First time in my life I was heading home after the game that my team had won sad. Well, lets say half sad. Odd feeling…
To be honest if anybody deserves move to a bigger club / higher league to get better money it is Toff. Role model on and off the pitch. Massive loss , bigger than Bruno. Shame we can’t keep our best players but hey, only few clubs in the world can do that…
Atmosphere was flat like never and even 617 lads weren’t on it for some reason.
Big respect for Bolton fans as they are where they are and still turned up in big numbers on Tuesday night.
Main positive from last night ? Three points…
Why is it my mate and I, heading for the boozer after Bolton match, were “relieved” rather than “in high spirits” at the Imps 5-1 win? My mate reckons it’s because we never know from one match to the next whether we are going to witness a fine Imps performance or a lacklustre miserable giveaway, irrespective of who we are playing. At the beginning of the second half we all thought the worst. Then the Imps turned it on for the last 20 or so minutes. “Consisitency”? What’s that? Never a dull moment at Sincil Bank. Having said that I am really looking forward to see what MA produces.
