A league higher. Yes. Less attractive? Debatable unless league position dictates attraction.

Just because hevwas born in Lincoln doesn't mean he lives there. For all we know he might live in Grassington or Harrogate. Who says Lincoln is close to where home is now.

 

Yes playing higher up is often a more attractive proposition, also League 1 teams baring the really small clubs often have bigger budgets than league 2 clubs which usually means a better salary. As a 25 year old I’d be going to who will pay me most, like many he most likely still has bills, potentially mortgage etc.

 

Disagree. Lincoln can offer him league one football, that's all. They aren't going to offer him promotion or glory.

 

He's yet another player that looks good when the sun is shining but disappears when the grounds get heavy. I know I keep going on about this but I've seen it so often in the many decades I've been watching football. The pitches are so much better these days but there are still a lot of players who either get injured or lose form on heavier ground. Vernam is a classic example. It's a factor that needs to be taken into consideration when recruiting but I'm not sure if it is.

 

I made the original comment about his missus moving house so assume that’s aimed at me. For the record I’m in my 40s with 3 kids and in a professional responsible job, so I know all about grown up life and responsibility!!!

 

Is it ? Finish bottom, get spanked every week v winning every week ? I know which I'd take.

 

They are a small club in the league above. What's deluded about believing our potential is much bigger than Lincoln. He also struggled to hold down a first team place at the last league one team he was at. Why should we worry that we are going to lose a player to the Lincoln massive.

 

But that's like saying a player would rather play for Norwich in the championship rather than say Southampton in the premiership because Norwich have better chance of winning games.

 

How many players left Leeds for Norwich and Burnley a few years ago. They got paid PL wages while Leeds were in the CH for god knows how many years.

 

Vernam can play at Pride Park, Oakwell, Hillsbrough etc next term too. Beats going to Barrow and Harrogate.

 

Potential crowds of over 20,000 at pride park and Hillsborough. Plenty of big games in league 1 next season, just as there were last season. What do we have in league 2 next season? Stockport? Wrexham if they go up? Halifax lol.?

 

Absolutely no guarantees Mr Hughes will be anymore successful though.

Reading these boards and beyond, there is lots of confidence moving forward. Needs a dollop of realism, we are where we are for a reason.

 

As with Parky somewhere along the long line of appointments we have to get it right, let's hope Hughes is that appointment, then the hard bit is keeping it going by backing your manager and hope he is happy with the challenge rather than what look greener pastures.

 

Pretty much spot on.
For some who are lower half PL or top end Championship will be attracted to regular football but they'd be on a decent wage anyway.

 

I think he's more than capable of doing that. He'll decide what's right for him, not folk on a football forum

 

And we didn’t accept mediocrity did we? The manager paid the price for it and we appointed Hughes

 

Only asking because I don't know, but are Lincoln necessarily offering a better wage? I would imagine they would have one of the lower league one budgets (based on no knowledge whatsoever )
