Lincoln haven''t got a puffed up self-important little Scotsman as their MD have they ?I know it''s often been discussed on here but this reminds me of our club''s treatment of a certain silver haired manager who had to battle all season with a wife who was dying from terminal cancer and then got the sack. We just avoided relegation after two or three great results at the end of the season so, yes, we hadn''t done well but it was pretty understandable as Mike Walker had had major worries at home. Least we could have done was to have given him the first few months of the new season but he was denied that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I for one applaud DM on the balls he had to act swiftly to remove someone who was taking the club in a wrong direction. Also on your basis of logic above your saying that Colchester and Arsenal are comparable teams??? Arsenal were always going to beat Everton just a question of by how much, Colchester on the other hand should have no right to come here and win like they did.

Longy 1 Posted September 2, 2009 While I wish Peter Jackson very best recovering from his illness. Lincoln have been struggling and have decided a new manager is the best course of action for their football club, wtf does it matter whether the manager is ill or not. Are we suggesting that we should positively discriminate in this situation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then against Colchester to pick Otsemobor instead of Spillane, two immobile centre-backs together, instead of at least having Askou, and his worst goalkeeper, and then not to make half-time changes was ''suicidal'' and naive in the extreme. It''s a pity that we didn''t have Lambert last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camuldonum 0 Posted September 3, 2009 It is a very sad situation because Jacko is a nice bloke but that''s football today. It hasn''t worked out although not entirely his fault I would say - some of it just part of League Two syndrome. Lincoln have lost some good players because they are unable to match wages offered in higher divisions and, unfortunately, the replacements (up front) have proved to be less than scintillating. Poor choice of attackers has cost him.He did however find some good players including the keeper who is probably the best in League Two at the moment. Terrible start to the season and fans on his back from Burton onwards. Not very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 515 Posted September 3, 2009 I do respect other peoples opinions on here. However, people saying Gunn shouldnt have been sacked, and nailing McNally as arrogent and cut throatish I find a little frustrating.In my opinion, McNally is the best thing to happen to this "football club" in years, Gunn should have gone sooner. He didn''t. McNally arrived, saw the weakness, and made changes immediately.I was at the Yeovil game... Gunn''s last in charge. We won 4-0, but that''s only because Yeovil were soo ****ing terrible on the day. Trust me, they were really poor lol.McNally has been firm, taken action, and brought in a manager capable of at least getting us back into the Championship. Saturday we''ll be playing for our 3rd back to back win in the league... this season (we were bottom when gunn was finally pushed) has been turned around...Yes, Gunn made some good signings. Yes, Gunns a nice guy, Yes, Gunns a legend and always will be... but a manager he was not.McNally and Lambert have been brilliant so far, I''m loving the fact we have someone like McNally. I''d rather he be here, than against us. He''s quite brutal... as Colchester found out recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
