Holdsworth plots to make Imps fit for purpose.

David Holdsworth has told BBC Lincolnshire he is in the market for further reinforcements, despite City’s pauper status:-

“I do hope to have a few more new faces” he told the BBC

“We may have to sacrifice one or two to free up funds but by next week we hope to have a midfielder on board. If not one, then maybe two or three”

Quite what the manager meant by sacrifice we shall have to wait and see but with the team at the infamous army assault course today anything could happen. Presumably Holdsworth is planning to farm out on loan some of those deemed surplus to requirements, wouldn’t have minded being a fly on the wall when he sold that idea to fellow managers.

All the talk last weekend was of Joe Anyon going to Crawley Town, although that seems to have quietened down. Joe has of course been one of the few to have enhanced their reputations lately but this time last year you wouldn’t have heard many fans singing his praises and presumably he is one of the higher earners and on the transfer list to boot so it really wouldn’t be too surprising if he went. Several fans were heard to say “anywhere but Crawley” but to be honest their money is as good as anyone’s in the situation City are in (you are allowed to comment on this blog by the way!)

The gaffer has banned twitter etc as well as headphones saying he wants his players concentrating on football matters when they are on Lincoln City business. Any more of this and the players might start to get the impression they’re working for a living!

   Joe long it's been good to know you?
