All the best Sutty. What are Lincoln like? Crap?

Not too bad-They lost in the quarter finals of last seasons Champions League, to eventual winners Barcelona.

Good luck Chris!

All the best to Chris!! Let's hope some of these players get to be good managers and indeed come and manage us JUST before they peak, eh? Sutton as manager with Jansen, Tugay and Hendry as respective coaches? *drools*

I think that coaching staff would be almost unsackable from Rovers! At least until we got relegated to the conference! Not saying they'll be bad though.

Ian Pearce Assitant Manager! Ah!!! Bless him

I'm disappointed that they didn't take over at Rovers last season when Ince went but if they get their grounding lower down the league we can have them in a few years time take us to the champions league final!!!!!!

[Presty On Tour]

Good luck to them.

Doesn't seem that long ago when Sutton was the record transfer fee of 5 million! Those were the days

Still my favourite Rovers player of all time, guess I will need to start taking more of an interest in Lincoln City. Also have Jaime Clark as well which is a Rovers academy player.

[Iceman]

Does Chris have his badges?

[riverside returns]

Good luck Sutty and piercey, hope all goes well in Lincoln. Up the Imps

[RibbleValleyRover]

Good luck to Chris and Ian.

On another note i see Wilcox has a new column in the LT.

Chris and Ian were doing their coaching badges together. They were on goals on sunday near the end of last season talking about.

Lincoln are playing tonight but they are not officially in charge I don't think.

I really liked Sutton as a player, I wish he'd not messed up his England career as he was definitely good enough at that time, it was a shame his post Rovers career didn't go better and he ended up playing in that inferior league north of the border.

I hope he and Pearce do well.

Weren't there some rumours about him being a bit 'strange'?

Good luck Chris!

I wonder if Lincoln are also a club "that deserves some loyalty"!?

I don't give a damn about him.

You realise you are responding to a post that is so old it pre-dates Venkys?

OOPs I do now! I withdraw it in total embarrassment!

Don't worry, it'll be our secret. No one ever needs to know.
