Does signing John Mousinho count as a transfer? He is still technically a player? Perhaps with all the budget cuts, he replaces the outgoing Morrison to Cambridge and the sacked Cowley's in one go.

Appears to be him and our CEO. The problem is that he would presumably have a list of inexperienced coaches who could step up. But we're winless in 15 games and sleepwalking in to a relegation battle. There is a fans protest planned on Saturday and just generally a toxic feel surrounding the...

Lincoln fans. What is your view of Appleton? We are now 2 1/2 weeks post sacking Cowley and still yet to appoint. Clearly managers targeted have turned us down given the length of time. We're potentially reaching desperation stage it would seem. Logically Appleton will now come in to play, and...

If we were to appoint Appleton, I wonder if the board will have the audacity to claim he was our number one choice? I really don't think it will be him though and there is whispers of a 10pm announcement. We don't work that quick as a club. Appleton was manager when our chaotic financial...

Hopefully your source is accurate. He's burnt his bridges here, and has been one of a group of massively disappointing summer signings from the Cowley brothers. I'm sure in comfortable familiar surroundings he can still do a job at this level. For us he's got progressively more shaky as the...

A McCann type would certainly steady the ship and stop the rot, but it goes against the supposed new modern set up with a coach working in tandem with the sporting director to imprint a club philosophy. The performances of late and angst amongst the fanbase appear to have moved the goalposts at...

I'm referring to the Andrew Moon interview and subsequent tweets. I can understand that he has ties there and it would suit him and his wife to return. However, thinking this and saying it whilst in our predicament shows a complete lack of understanding which probably isn't that surprising at...

Let's hope for a win, new manager or not. The locals are getting restless.

Michael Morrison looks set to return to Cambridge either in this window or when his contract expires in the summer. Asked by local journo's if there was any truth in the rumours he revealed that he would love to return there. Not the greatest repost to a Portsmouth paper when you are one of the...

Josh Koroma gone now too. Didn't see that coming, but pleased as it just hasn't worked out for him. Seems we're having a clear out. Presumably our new managerial appointment can't be far away with all this squad reshuffling going on.

I'm warming to the idea of Manning but he will need to have an instant positive impact or else he'll be getting hounded out by our fans before this season is out, Ritchie Barker style. If we'd appointed him close season I think there would have been room for patience, but we are 9 points off...

Our keeper's been recalled by WBA out of the blue (he played in the pizza cup last night). No senior replacement on our books other than a 20 year old we picked up from Spurs in the summer. We do have high earning loans that would benefit us if they returned to their parent clubs (Pigott...

So tonight see's arguably our only realistic remaining opportunity for any 'success' this season, barring a tremendous charge up the table in the second half of the season. We generally put out a pretty competitive side, and expect tonight to do likewise. Not sure how seriously Bolton are...

I think Wilder talk is well wide of the mark, but as K-Win alludes to, very little is leaking out so in truth we are very much in the dark. Earlier this season we appointed a sporting director (Richard Hughes) from FGR. Structurally we now appear to operate with a head coach who will need to...

Amazing how your mind can trick you over the years! Must’ve been White, and not quite the performance I thought it was.

I must have been thinking of someone else from that era, but remember staying up late as a young teenager to watch bbc sport highlights of an England friendly against Spain, and a fringe player had the game of their life and we won wearing a sky blue third kit. Always thought it was Hirst but my...

Sure he did play for England although never established himself. Seem to remember a game against Spain where he was outstanding.

Be interested to see how Hirst gets on at Ipswich. Everywhere he's been he has failed except when Cowley decided to give him a run of games so there was no expectation on him to shine in every appearance. As a fanbase we had all but given up on him and were happy to send him back in the January...

I'm not convinced our budget was inside the top 6. There's been lots of soundbites from our CEO denying it is 12th and commenting that it is enough to be in and around the play-offs. I'd hazard 7-10th, but in reality we're talking small margins outside of probably three or four teams. Remember...

I saw that some Aberdeen lads had all chipped in a fiver each on their mate and managed to get him as fourth favourite for the job at one point.
