Lincoln aims to compete in Championship with limited budget
Summary

Lincoln City expects to secure talent as they prepare for the Championship following promotion. Sporting Director Jez George emphasized that the club's budget remains the smallest in the division, even with an additional £10 million from promotion. George noted the importance of wisely investing this budget while scouting for affordable players, particularly those with Championship experience. The club may repeatedly break its transfer record this summer to strengthen the squad, but financial responsibility is a priority to ensure long-term stability.
