LINCOLN CITY have placed manager Gary Simpson on ‘gardening leave’ after Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Forest Green Rovers.
The Imps were 3-0 up at the New Lawn but the hosts fought back to claim a point with a last minute goal.
Lincoln have enjoyed a mixed start to the Vanarama Conference season and currently sit 13th with 23 points from 18 games – a start which has forced the club to remove Simpson as manager.
A club statement read: “After reviewing our season so far, taking in to account progress made and performance levels achieved, the board has decided to relieve Gary Simpson of his current duties as manager of Lincoln City Football Club.
“With immediate effect Gary will be placed on “gardening leave” until his future with us can be determined.
“As a result of the foregoing, Chris Moyses has taken over first team duties for the foreseeable future.”
