An Imp until summer 2006 - Keith Alexander
Lincoln City boss Keith Alexander is finally set to lay rumours of his departure to rest by signing a new contract.

The City supreme has been linked with moves to both Peterborough United and Grimsby Town but has always strenuously denied any such links. He is finally ready to put his pen where his denial is and sign on the dotted line for the Imps.

The moment City fans have been waiting for is all set to take place before the game with Hull City on Saturday. It will occur on the pitch in the pre match build up, and all City fans are urged to arrive early to witness the big mans commitment to the club.

The new contract will keep Keith at the club until the summer of 2006, and will certainly ward of any potential new employers Keith may have.

Since his recovery from illness the Imps have shown indifferent form, squandering two golden opportunities to put maximum points on the board in draws with Scunthorpe and Boston. The travesty of Huddersfield could and should have also yielded 3 points for the Imps. However they did show a brief glimpse of that untapped potential in the 4-1 demolition job of York City. No doubt with ‘the gaffers’ name on the dotted line the players can concentrate on repeating that fantastic adventure to the Millennium Stadium.
