We've signed Conor McGrandles from MK - seems his contract was terminated by mutual consent. You guys in financial difficulty or was he actually out of contract? I thought you would have wanted a fee. No mention of how long the contract is.
He any good? Looks quite slight to me but presumably...
Looks like Huddersfield have sacked the Cowleys because their control freak Chairman wanted control of transfers, which seems bizarre as Luke said. The whole reason they went there was because the Chairman gave them assurances they would manage everything including transfers (after they had...
"Undisclosed fee", apparently
I'd expect six figures to be honest, similar to what we paid for Hopper. We paid a lot for him only 18 months ago, and our board are pretty shrewd.
I'm not sure the Cowleys ever played to his strengths so we never really saw the best of him. He was used as a lone striker/target man, which despite his size, really isn't his strongest suit. As a result I dont think we ever saw the best of him, or indeed what most of us expected. He did well...
On Akinde, apparently Appleton said something along the lines of "He pulled out of training on Thursday with an injury and we've got to trust him on that". Later said something vague about a hip injury, but certainly something afoot. Rumour in the gents at half time was that he is headed for...
We've just launched a Third Shirt in the colours of the Lincolnshire flag. Limited edition so only 500 will be made and will only be worn in 3 matches. Quite like it, we've probably rushed it out to celebrate being Lincolnshire's top club for this year at least :whistle:
The slags are struggling as well so I'm putting it all in perspective. I think as long as we don't go down (not a given) we're certain to be Lincs' top club again next year.
Hurst is a miserable git. Nothing like the Cowleys in terms of fan engagement, as evidenced by the "ear-cupping" at Wembley. I get that Grimsby fans had higher expectations and had been on his back, and he probably under achieved on their budget so he had taken some stick, bug still...
I think...
They've not even been good for 7 games, unless you're includjng the Cup. Won 3, drawn 2 lost 2. Mediocre at best.
A bit sad that "massive" Grimsby can only find happiness in the thought of little Lincoln (not their real rivals) going back down.
