Appleton signs new 5 year deal @ Lincoln on 12:51 - Feb 26 by hype313 | The problem we have is that there has been so much nonsense and bluster in-between snippets of truth, people are now sweeping everyone with the same brush. |
Yeah, I get that. A lot is people re-hashing rumours they see. The Appleton part hasn't been spoken about, and now he's signed at Lincoln, I thought I'd mention it. |  | |  |

Appleton signs new 5 year deal @ Lincoln on 13:04 - Feb 26 by PhilTWTD | Think they're more advanced than initially appeared and more likely to happen, as I understand it. Always scope for these things falling down, of course, we've all seen that with deals before. Whether Appleton signing a new deal is related to any interest from here - or from elsewhere - I've no idea. Teams towards the top of the table tie their managers down to new deals at that point, as we know from our own situation just over a year ago! |
That’s true but as a rough calculation, if Appleton’s on say £200k pa, that’s a £800k investment (multiply by approx 1.5 if football managers are on similar terms to an FTE elsewhere) from a club with very limited resources (their squad is on its knees through injury, fatigue and a lack of depth). It’s a big move that they won’t have taken lightly. |  |

I apologise for the attitude. The likes of ITK Dobbo give everyone a bad name and it's easy to become sceptical. |  |

....are we talking "Evans gone" or are we talking "external investment, place on the board"? Many thanks, Mr Potato Head. |  |

It dont help when Phil the master of the contacts is let down by his contacts and didnt know if any take over talks until recently. I've always thought if something is going on Phil would be the first to know. So now I dont trust Phil. Booooooo |  |

Appleton was heavily linked with Bristol City job so would imagine it is that which has caused this new deal in the main |  |

I see this brett guy also followed BC. Do you think they tried to purchase them but got turned down so looked into town instead |  |

I doubt it, the BC owner is a billionaire, look what he's done with Bristol Bears Rugby in the space of 3 years, doubt they would have seen that as a viable option. |  |

It’ll be top banter if the takeover is actually Lincoln! |  |

Ahem, wasn't ITK Dobbo the one that essentially broke this story on twitter? If this actually happens then a lot of people will be eating humble pie. |  | |  |

Also nobody knows what clause are in a contract. If it states he is free to leave if a club with good parking links to Gatwick comes in then the length is irrelevant. |  |

Maybe, but the news/rumours were strong before he broke that on Twitter. |  | |  |

Were they? I'm sure the first I heard it was from him on twitter, and he was getting a right bashing for it. It then filtered it's way onto here and then obviously people with contacts did their digging. And at first Phil/ Joe hadn't even heard anything about it. |  | |  |

Alright Matt. Got any expert view on the potential takeover now then? Still rubbish? lolz |  | |  |
