Someone on their forum did mention Jolley as a possibilityNah that would be Jolley or Slade LOL!!!
My instincts are telling me there is more to it than that. I think the first two years with Imps must have really put a strain on the quality family time that they clearly value. As others have said and I always thought, the fact that they are moving here is a massive statement. Not only will that provide better work/life balance, the children will be able to settle and gain a good education in a decent part of the world to be growing up. Staying with the Imps for a couple more years after this enables them to work with guaranteed security for their families in what can be an otherwise precarious business. The importance of securing their family futures may even be underscored by having come from reliable careers/pensions as teachers which they had to risk when going full time - no matter how confident they were in their abilities. Here they can work safe in the knowledge that they have the unconditional support of the board and the people of Lincoln all the time adding to their knowledge, experience and reputation. When they move on they will be nearer the finished article, futures secured, children settled, with heads held high and the gratitude of a city. They are too focused and dare I say driven to allow any complacency or drop off in standards to creep in. This is a good example of a symbiotic relationship and as a L2 club we are very lucky to be part of that equation as it is a rare commodity in football let alone at our level. Obviously if West Ham or another Prem. club did come a calling out of the blue then few would wish them anything but the best of luck at an opportunity that could not be turned down.I've no idea what we pay Danny & Nicky, but they will get repeated offers from Championship level (or higher maybe) so I hope we are repaying their continuing loyalty to us by giving them the best possible salaries that we can.

Good point - this is the ultimate game of Championship Manager. I wonder if they ever took a Fisher Athletic to The Champions League FinalThey are also smart enough to realise that they have almost complete control of every aspect of the playing side of the club, the higher up the ladder they go the more of that they will probably have to relinquish. It's a theme in Graham Taylor's autobiography that nothing in his career gave him as much pleasure as his achievements at Watford when he could do pretty much what he wanted with Elton John's backing
Signed a new contract in April, 3rd one since they've arrived.I've no idea what we pay Danny & Nicky, but they will get repeated offers from Championship level (or higher maybe) so I hope we are repaying their continuing loyalty to us by giving them the best possible salaries that we can.
I suppose what I was trying to say in a long winded way is that 'we' are good for each other and although we are a stepping stone Danny and Nicky are treating the relationship with respect and integrity.
