Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
"Paul Lambert has resigned as the Wycombe Wanderers manager after two years in charge, saying it was time to "hand over the reigns to someone else". The club failed in their promotion bid at the weekend when they lost their League Two play-off semi-final to Stockport County.
"I am bitterly disappointed that we failed to win promotion, but I leave with my head held high," said Lambert. "This is a great club, but I feel that the time has come for me to move on. I haven't been forced out - the decision to leave is entirely mine - and I don't have another job to go to. I just feel that this is the right thing to do.
"I want to thank the players for their fantastic efforts this season. They're a first class group of lads who worked incredibly hard for me and never provided a moment's trouble. Whoever takes over will inherit an excellent squad."
Basically, he felt like he couldn't take us any further and it was someone else's turn to have a go
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
The past teaches us that managers and players come and go. I remember being gutted when Brian Lee resigned, but the club went on. Was trying to think of something more profound to post, but I cant think of anything that’s not already been said. Ultimately it’s the fans who are the club. We’re still here, for now. We have a billionaire owner now, things will change. Would we prefer the Couhig’s?
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Exactly this. It's changing and not for the better from a community viewpoint but possibly from a league position. I think the Shrewsbury Chairman summed it up the other week. Not much has changed at their end but everyone else's budgets have changed around them and they cannot compete.
Over the last 34 years at AP we have more highs and lows than any other league team. In it together and a community. I just don't see how that continues with all this money being spent and a potential journey to the media's "promised land"
I may be being bitter and I know we need a sugar daddy to survive but I wanted a small sugar daddy who kept us in league one with the occasional foray into the Championship and maybe a drop down to League Two for a few seasons. This feels quite different and our club may have changed forever. I need to decide if I want to be a part of that or cut my nose off to spite my face.
I'm going to miss the reaction of people asking me who I support and I answer "Wycombe Wanderers" as most people just don't get why supporting a lower league club is massively thrilling and a rollercoaster. An established, Premier League / Championship WWFC doesn't have quite the same appeal. That's definitely my issue and something I need to come to terms with.

Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
I was listening to Ashley Cole the other day and he came across really really well.
He'd be a great appointment for someone one day
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
Things have changed so fast. ML didn't splash the cash on big name players for several months, then suddenly over a million goes on two. Just at the point where Blooms is going out of the door. This clearly looks like a new regime, and I'm pretty convinced the new manager is waiting in the wings, maybe even consulted over the change of recruitment approach. Quite possibly from overseas with a knowledge of Danish football?
Am I alone in not feeling very excited about this development? I really liked the process of discovering hidden gems from lower/non-league football and punching above our weight.

Limited parking at the ground otherwise park at the services (max 3 hours). For the adventurous park on Windsor End Beaconsfield Old Town by the rugby club and walk over the motorway via footbridge - bring a torch!

Club badge just been updated to read 'Wayne Rooney's Wycombe Wanderers FC'
I kid. If this comes true I knew nothing about it, I swear!
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
It would be easy for most people to choose to support a Premier League team.
In choosing to support Wycombe Wanderers, for some people at least, it’s because we’d rather support something different. It feels like Wycombe are now in the process of being subsumed into the behemoth of elite level football and its associated trappings.
For me it’s a shame we couldn’t have kept going with an old school owner more like the Couhigs. Had a training ground in the High Wycombe area. Had more regard for the history of the club and the people like Matt Bloomfield who have dedicated a huge part of their life to our success.
Life moves on and things don’t stay the same. I think someone said it feels just a little less special being a Wycombe fan today.
