Imps slip to 10/1 to win the Blue Square
By Nathan Jackson
June 9 2011
Lincoln's lack of activity in the transfer market has seen the prices with bookmakers raise from 9/1 to 10/1. Luton and big-spending Fleetwood are still the favourites with the Imps as seventh favourites for promotion next season.
Lincoln have just six players registered for next season, all of whom are on the transfer list. All other players have either been released or have yet to sign a new contract. Other than the occasional link to a player in the Lincolnshire Echo, not one of which has been officially confirmed by Lincoln, the silence from Sincil Bank has been deafening, especially given that the only news since the season regarding the first team is the aforementioned releases and six friendlies being arranged.
Last season's Playoff Final losers Luton are still favourites at 7/2 with high spenders Fleetwood at 9/2. Darlingtod and Mansfield are both at 15/2 with York and Wrexham both at 9/1, whereas Lincoln are 10/1, as are Newport County.
Hayes and Yeading remain the heavy favourites to go down, whereas the best odds for a promoted side are Alfreton's 50/1, with Telford at 80, Ebbsfleet at 100 and Braintree at 150/1 following their promotion winning manager leaving.
