Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Here is todays article from Vital Lincoln. I gave it the sub title "The board have bowed to the inevitable-What next?"

What with all the articles available and going on mid morning it didn't perform as well as usual on the News Now website but still spent much of the day in the top ten Lincoln City articles so, really can't complain and thanks to my regular readers.

Not for a moment suggesting that our plea for some statement from the club yesterday had anything to do with it but, typically for the way things have been run at Sincil Bank lately the manager yesterday gave a press conference for tonight’s game, renewed a loan signing and was then promptly sacked. It’s tempting to imagine the scene in the boardroom, finger pointing at the dynamic duo and the immortal words “Steve Tilson and Paul Brush, you’re fired!” but the reality was probably the masked executioner taking five or six swings of the axe to dispatch the hapless victims, such is the air of farce surrounding the club.

Former chairman Rob Bradley was on BBC Lincolnshire this morning and, as usual there was much good sense spoken. The general tone seemed to be that replacing the manager is only half of the remedy; the club needs to find a total rebirth and reconnection with the fans and the wider community. Not many will disagree with that whatever their view on City as a Community Club. Rob also offered the opinion that many chairmen would have replaced the manager before the end of last season in order to secure that one point needed to escape the drop. He did not draw a comparison but the inference certainly was that maybe that single minded, ruthless even, determination is not there on the present board.

Lincolnshire Echo’s City reporter, Leigh Curtis also gave an insight into his own relationship with the manager, citing several spats with the media in his column this morning and stating that, with everything that has been going on at the club, Tilson had never been heard to utter an apology or even admitted he got anything wrong. Sorry may indeed be the hardest word and there are none sorrier than us, the fans for the state we now find our club in. Tilson and Brush will go on to other things as will the individual board members leaving, as usual the fans. To use another corny song link. Everything changes but you.
