Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
That's a lovely sentiment.
A year ago, when you were asked about whether Bloomfield should be sacked, you said "I still won’t be calling for Matt Bloomfield to be sacked. Whether he should be is a different question".
Given what has happened in the last 12 months, I am very sad that Bloomfield has left, but not so long ago many of us thought that it might be necessary, however much we didn't want it. Now it has happened, we have to live with it.
Many of us still remember O'Neill feeling like he was forced out 30 years ago. Martin got over it, and I am sure Matt is very happy at Luton and will do wonderful things. It's not like he's unemployed. The only way we will progress is getting over it ourselves. Not doing so isn't going to bring him back.

Re: Richard Kone signs
Having watched yet another 75+ mins of Hojlund and Zirkzee, I’m convinced Kone would be a better option than both……

Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
The Trust were brilliant. Promotion from L2, somehow staying up in L1 with no money, and then leaving us in the L1 playoff spots (though Couhig had been helping at that point) and selling us to a decent owner. Of course, all of the above needs a huge salute to GA, Dobbo and the players too, but the Trust - as volunteers, no less - did incredible things.
But as has been said, we really did not have any options financially by the time we sold, and I believe we were very close to the threat of administration if nothing changed. Couhig came along at just the right time.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Please, if that is the case, do so already. I’m sick of all the whinging.
Fair enough. I'm done. Anyone who'd like to take over the hosting and running this place DM me please.
Honestly thought the gasroom was way above the knuckle draggers on Facebook but I was obviously wrong, most of this place is gleefully licking Dan Rice's arse clean and cheering on the ridiculous over-spending just like all those Derby fans were doing under Mel Morris. And funnily enough it's the exact same people hypocrites who slagged them off for it.
"It's a business, these things happen" - no it's fucking not, it's a football club. You don't all go stand outside Tesco's on a Saturday singing songs about Sainsbury's being shit do you. So if it's a business, what the hell are you doing? Supporting a football club, to some people, is a bit more than fucking brand loyalty.
Players change, staff members change, stadia change, everything changes - so what is it that you're actually cheering for on a Saturday afternoon if not the unquantifiable, feeling of that club? For me, the feeling that has always made me proud to be a Wycombe fan is that we weren't like other clubs. We weren't spending outside our means, we didn't hire tax fraudsters like Steve Evans or wife beaters like Darren Fergusson, we treated everyone within and outside the club with respect. That's pretty much what I'm supporting on a Saturday afternoon. The fact that our new ownership couldn't do that for the one person who deserves that respect more than any other, should tell you all you need to know about the future. The fact that the gasroom similarly can't do that for the one person who deserves that respect more than any other tells me all I need to know about this place.
In a week's time, this site will have been running for ten years. You are not the people I thought you were, and I simply don't have the energy to deal with so many tantrums.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I liked the idea that we've had Razmus and pal as our target, have lined them up then have realised we couldn't get them until March and then realised they didn't want to come anyway.
Re: Richard Kone signs
The scary thing is that this is after one summer of professional training and development. I can only imagine how much better Rich is going to get!
Re: Other Football
Portsmouth have a scout called Sonny Morgan, I wonder if he likes Eze.
