Despite the income generated from successive promotions and increased revenue via the turnstiles, Lincoln have a stretched budget, with several players signed on high wages.
The Cowleys have done a great job there but the manner in which they've left hasn't gone down well. I believe they had their sights set on the Sheffield Wednesday job and fell back on Huddersfield once Monk had been appointed. All this after they'd stated that they remained committed to project Lincoln and wanted to see it through.
A tenfold increase in salary isn't to be sniffed at though and there'll be scant sympathy from fans of Concord Rangers or Braintree Town. Perhaps we'll now get some respite from the nauseating newbies frequenting Sincil Bank of late.
I doubt it's been priced up anywhere but you could do a lot worse than chucking a few quid on the Cowleys becoming future managers of West Ham, a club they've supported since their childhood.
I've got everything crossed that Steve Evans is on the shortlist for the Lincoln job.
