Vic`s Rant - Janos Did Not Know.




On the face of it Chris Sutton is attempting to build a squad to beat the drop with the future also in mind by begging steeling and borrowing aided by Ian Pearce and contacts at clubs like Aston Villa, Fulham, and Norwich. He has notable and respected advisers like Roy Hodgson, Martin O`Neill, Steve Bruce, John Deehan and Tony Pulis offering advise and contacts not to mention doing Sutton and the Imps the sort of favours we are not used to. And judging by the events of the last couple of days and the hints on the official site at yesterday`s pre Bradford press conference, our manager needs all the help he can get. All should unite in song behind our manager and the team on Saturday. The three points it will get are for him, his team and our relegation battle.

Doubtless it was not rocket science to Janos Kovacs that he would not be part of Chris Sutton`s plans and that given the squad size the pressure was growing perhaps from both sides for a parting of the waves. That he was not told prior to the press however was unforgivable.

There have been rumours for some time that things at the Imps, to put it mildly, are tight financially. It`s not rocket science; the cast of thousands at the club is rightly blamed with at least 5 players out in the cold costing the club the best part of a quarter of a million a year. However Chris Sutton has spent very little money since arriving with clever freebie loans and the signing of two bargains from Fulham hardly breaking the bank. Premiership youngsters are not on the money you might think in all honesty and even Sutton hinted a week ago that he had only spent some of the money from a cup run that saw 3,107 Imps travel to Bolton more in love than hope.

Peter Jackson did not exactly push the boat out budget wise this season when he signed Butcher, Fagan, Clarke and essentially a squad that requires a razor as often as a bearded lady at a travelling circus. Certainly he was not our greatest manager tactically but then he is also not the financial 'Hades` many are suggesting. Indeed the board should take some of the responsibility in allowing the budget to arguably be blown both in the summer on youngsters or has-beens and Sergio Torres, a particularly high profile addition, prior to Chris arriving.
