Lincoln Sack Jackson

[BlackandwhiteBOB]

Lincoln have sacked Peter Jackson this morning, I was kind of hoping he would at least hang around until after the weekend match, if they are as poor on Sat as they were last night I think we would have been onto a winner.

Always a different kettle of fish when a club have just sacked their manager!

Thoughts on the weekend anyone?

I agree with your post, the timing is not great.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend I believe that we'll get something from the game.

Either the turmoil created will leave them wide open for the lads to get their shooting boots into practice and we could get a decent win...

or

... The impetus spurs Lincoln on and we end up on the end of a backlash, meaning a very difficult away game.

Lets hope it's the former...

This was on the cards from what I saw last night being at the game last night. They had absolutely no squad harmony, body language was poor, rounded off by the keeper and center back exchanging handbags.

Saturday will be much more interesting now, with a new temporary management setup in place. I guess it just depends on how they're players react to this, but from what I saw it seems Jackson was not who they wanted, so they may be buoyed by getting their way!

I would take 0-0 now to be honest, ( and next Friday at Accy for that matter) , get a few clean sheets, build on the last couple of games.

There's a certain Brian Little on the doorstep at Gainsboro but they will probably want to bring Michael Bridges in as player-manager.

Just heard from a pal from Lincoln who said that -

1 - Colin Calderwood to come in as Director Of Football
2 - Gareth Ainsworth to become the Manager
3 - John Ward as the assistant


Dont know whether this is true but ..

Really sorry for him after his health problems last season.Comes across as a real nice bloke.

Sacking a manager just a few games into the season is absolutely ridiculous. I'd say managers need at least the first 15 league games!!

He was there last season and they only won 2 in their final 10 games. I think that as well as their underwhelming start to the start to the season would have been the reason rather than just the opening five games.

You're probably right, he should have been given more time (ideally until saturday at least) but Lincoln have become used to being in the top seven in recent years and the board seems to be feeling the pressure as well from fans. Getting shot of the manager absolves them for a bit I would have thought.

Besides based on last night's performance and the keeper's actions near the end the dressing room wasn't a happy one.

The Ainsworth bit could have something in it. He's a bit of a legend down that part apparently.
