I don't get the negative thoughts on Vernam not signing. Why would he go elsewhere for £200 a week more when he can stay here and be developed by world superstar mark Hughes. Seriously. Vernam will sign, as will Sutton, watt & hendrie. The only one I can see leaving is poc

 

He's staying Kev. There's no rush for him to sign. He's been busy watching the videos Hughes gave him of his best goals to learn for next year

 

Wife isnt keen. School, job, friends etc.

 

She knew what she was getting when she married him. Moving around is part of the job.

 

Guaranteed league 1 football is better than promotion from league 2.

 

And are we??? Weve been here before, summer after summer. There are no guarantees.

They can probably offer him more money too.

 

I wouldn't have thought Vernam will be Lincoln's top earner. You've also got to factor in Sunderland, Ipswich, Wigan etc paying a lot more. Wasn't McGeady on £50k a week in League 1 due to his contract signed in the Prem?

 

Bang on. The likes of Bradley Johnson et al if I remember. How we've suddenly become a bigger club than some league one clubs despite our disastrous fall down the league ladder is bemusing. You earn that right, something Lincoln have done very well over the last few years.

 

Thus seems to have moved on from what was originally relating Lincoln to Bradford, to be fair I'm partly responsible for it. Going back to the original point about league 1 and league 2, generally league 1 offer far better wages due to better sponsorship and TV deals. As it stands Lincoln offer.guaranteed league 1 football and arguably a better salary. Doesn't mean players will automatically go that club but I'd hazard a guess at least 8 out of 10 would go to play league 1 football as opposed to league 2.

 

That's reminds me of last pre season. All the chat of Morecambe and Bradford swapping places, when Adams got the job.

 

I agree with your comment. It's a football forum and I hope my comment didn't come across as patronising. Just seems to be a few on here who seem to know what's better for Charles Vernam than Vernam himself.

 

How do we know Lincoln want Vernam, just gossip. Surely they need a manager first, who might not even want him.

 

Also according to some on here, its a no brainer for Vernam , so why after nearly three week since our season ended , he has not signed for them. Maybe its not as clear cut as some think.

 

Players should get ten minutes from us issuing our offer to accept it, if not then we don't want them as they clearly don't love the club.

 

And they don't train at a school FFS

 

Yes Sergio, I'm sure you're a very responsible parent, but can you please explain if that's the case, why people make such a fuss about the few (very few) players who play for their local team throughout their career, even at our level.

 

Whether it's Lincoln or somewhere else, or whether he decides to stay at City, I just don't think the travel/distance issue is going to be what clinches the deal - that's all I'm saying.
