There was that period he had us top 2 in league 1 against even the most deluded fan's wildest predictions.

Following a superb turn around of form of January 2024.

Outside of that year he's not done much.

Ignore them. If we all had the same views it would be a very boring forum.

I personally think you (and others) have overdone the "Blooms has been hard done by" theme, but i respect your right to do so.

Professional football clubs at or above Championship have to be run as a ruthless business to be successful and unfortunately unpopular decisions are made to achieve its aims. I'm sure Alan Sugar "your fired" has upset a lot of employees to get where he is now!

I actually agree. Last season was a right "mish mash" of players. He signed players that never even played!

Unproven as a manager and that will become evident unfortunately. He had the respect of the Wycombe players because of his connection with our club and what he did for us. Luton won't be so forgiving with that lack of sentiment.

There’s only one way to know if this is true or not and that’s to have access to the dataset they are working too. Which we don’t.

Rice could be working from the same model Brentford use and that is a “no dickheads” model.

Of the signings we have made since ML took over, there have been many rumours and things said, but signing Dickhead players hasn’t been one I have heard.

edit: well, The guy from rangers: some of there fans said he had a poor attitude, but he was 19 (I think) when his mum died of cancer so I’ll give him a pass.

Completely agree . I think a lot of people have under estimated how much Bloomfield doesn't take any prisoners when it comes to his ambition. I believe he doesn't let much get in his way . He seems a very respectful and amicable person but I think this hides a ruthlessness within . Who knows what actually happened between him and rice. The only evidence that Rice ill treated him comes from internal rumours from gang Bloomfileld .He said himself he hates losing and I do not believe this is restricted to match day. Bloomfield is now history . Rice is clearly working very hard to make the squad as strong as possible . I have no doubt that his data model also includes using common sense in order not to recruit the next Jimmy Saville . People needing to use him as their bogeyman only serves to ease their own denial that it just could be that as far as Bloomfield is concened Bloomfield comes first. We have had a culture of recruiting players of a personality type because we have been historically skint and needed to compensate for their lack of technical ability . This has now changed. As long as we dont recruit any proper wrong uns and they are commited footballers ,I don't really care whether they agree with net zero or whether they like Trump or not .

Three days away if Kone walks

He had their respect because he was a decent coach and a decent bloke

He also signed Kone, Morley, Harvie, Udoh, Bez, Fred...

The revisionist history here is insane. We are probably only a month away from people calling Blooms the worst manager in our history.

I just don't understand why people keep having to get digs in.
