Lincoln City FC. The Only Way Is Essex!

Welcome to the Cowley brother Danny and Nicky to Sincil Bank. I was unable to attend the Fans Forum on Friday evening last but I have managed to watch all the footage of it. Cowley's seem to have their heads screwed on and their recent successes at other clubs would tend to support that view. I was a bit put off by all the management speak that was evident in their answers to supporters questions but that is probably just a bit of a phobia of mine. Having worked in the NHS for the best part of 10 years some time ago management speak does tend to make me shiver.

Liked the positivity that the brothers showed though. I really do hope they help to lift the club away from the depths of the last few seasons. Chris Moyses started that process over the last 2 seasons and it was very good to hear Danny acknowledge that at the forum.

Lincoln City, despite the sour grapes from the Braintree Town chairman, are by far the biggest club that the Cowleys have managed and the expectations of the fans match the size of the club. I hope the weight of that expectation does not impair the new management duo. The fans of Lincoln City, probably like most fans at most other clubs, can be extremely fickle and I am not sure Danny and Nicky will have encountered that before. Give them a break guys!

Bring on next season and after, hopefully, a good summer with new signings strengthening the squad of players and those players buying into the plans and outlook of the new management team, we will see a lot of improvement on the field and a modicum of success coming the way of the long-suffering Imps fans.

Here's to you Danny and Nicky Cowley. All the best and I wish you well!
