""This David and Goliath mentality that exists here with the community and the team is fun," Fowler told BBC Radio Lincolnshire. "You can't compete with the big dogs by doing things the way they do it. You have to come up with a different way of doing it. "The expression I've used for years is 'keep on changing the game until you find one you can win'.""
"It was less than 10 years ago that Lincoln were playing National League football - having spent six seasons in England's fifth tier - before two promotions in three years returned them to League One in 2019. Fowler first bought a minority stake in the club in April 2024, and now they are pushing for promotion to a division that will demand levels of investment and player recruitment unlike anything previous successes have needed."
Ron Fowler, 81, is set to take a controlling stake and become chairman of Lincoln City. Lincoln sit second in League One and are pursuing automatic promotion to the Championship for the first time in 65 years. Fowler highlights a "David and Goliath" mentality and says competing with larger clubs requires different approaches and continual adaptation. He bought a minority stake in April 2024 after the club rose from the National League to League One via two promotions in three years. Promotion to the Championship will require greater investment and more extensive player recruitment. Fowler brings elite sporting experience from a decade with the San Diego Padres.
