Even Fergie made mistakes, and of course so has Ling. But his successful signings far outweigh his failures

It's obvious James, Theo and Thompson were going to be extended/signed.
New players will come in too, there's no way Wellens thinks we will be promoted with that midfield. I suspect Smith might go and someone else comes in upfront too.
Far from obvious that James and Theo would (re)sign. James is the best right back in League Two and I suspect he could easily play in League one or the Championship, as for Theo there were several clubs interested in him. Granted we were his number one choice but Lincoln could have made it much more dificult for him to leave as he was under contract.
Well done to Lingy for securing Theo, Ruel, Adam and Tom for two more years, he's made mistakes in the past but he's bang on so far this summer.
I completely agree with this .

They are laughing faces.
You prove me wrong, including all signings of players under Ling including loans and all Managers (Head Coaches) since he joined as DOF.

All this praise for Ling, is a little misplaced.
How it works : Wellens tells ling, he'd like to keep hold of Theo, so Ling ( whose job it is) contacts Lincoln and does the business.
It wasnt Ling that decided to keep Theo, it was Richie........Lings job is to bring in players the Head Coach/Manager wants

It is the burden of the accusor not the accused to prove guilt .

Likewise then any poor signing aren't Lings fault and any criticism is misplaced.

This wasn't necessarily a straightforward signing even though Theo had, at the end of the season, stated that he wanted to be back this season.
Firstly there was the change of Lincoln manager and the fact that the new guy might have wanted to keep Theo. Then there was the transfer fee and then there was the sell on clause that Lincoln wanted.
So well done Ling for making this happen and the Board for supplying the transfer funds. Plus RW for making Theo feel wanted.

It was a straightforward signing. You describe the the way signings usually work. Bravo.
Also Lincoln didn't want him and that helps too.

Not me. You!
You present a simple signing as if it's some sort of major coup that Ling pulled off against all the odds. It wasn't.

Spot on, I don’t hate Ling.In my view he is a long way of being a legend , Laurie Cunningham was a legend it’s like comparing a mini to a Rolls Royce,

Its people like you who have encouraged many to opt out of this MB and go to the other one. Think. Have you not got a nice thought in your brain?

Of course we did because Theo was still under contract at Lincoln . I wouldn't have thought they would have released him for nothing .
