I am very excitied to see where MD can take us . The club have taken their time with this appointment and I believe Rice is far more informed and skilled in the matter of recruitment than people give him credit for . Recruitmrnt of head coaches probably included . Rice was a youth scout for Fulham , Everton and Aresenal and Chief youth scout for Southampton . He has been doing this since 2009 and been involved in the workings of some very large football clubs . With his history I would suggest it is doing him a diservice suggesting he just runs some software and it spits out a player for him to persue .

Understandably a few people probably feel a little uneasy because this is new territory for WWFC . The vision the owners have for the future of the academy,this football club . and the methods they use may well seem a little alien at times but football is changing , it is driven by huge finances and these guys understand this world .

I share the view that I have heard a few people express , which is that I would rather have someone like MD take the position than a journeyman manager . Football is evolving and someone like MD has come from a successful modern environment which will mean he understands how it works and where it is going .

The data model has been successful in a lot of clubs and allowed them to punch well above their weight . Bournmouth are a good example of this and who knows where we could be in 10 years . Before anyone says we don't have a big enough support , don't try and tell me we would not fill a 15000 seated stadium some where in south bucks , if we did end up copying Bournmouth and found ourselfves competing in the Premiership . Big ask for sure but if you told a Bournmouth fan 20 years ago where they would be they would have thought you were nuts .

Our mate Swanny might spontaneously combust if Ainsworth’s Shrewsbury stay up at the expense of Peterborough (and this forum would be rather happy I imagine)

Gets an assist in the 16th minute.

Decent corner delivery.

He’s rarely taken corners for Wycombe.

Taking some nice ones for Rovers today, I think we missed a trick there.

Oh, I get it….

Dodds is “Just a puppet” then. Cool. There is no healing on the gasroom just yet then.

I wish the new man with limited experience as the first teams top dog the same good luck as I did the last two top dogs that took over the first team with limited expirence.

They did alright.

His job won't be getting anyone to sign! He's not the manager.

That's a great post.

MO'N's only previous managerial experience was with Shepshed Charterhouse and Grantham Town before he joined us. John Gregory had previously had a dire run at Portsmouth and a short caretaker stint at Plymouth. Lawrie Sanchez lost as many as he won at Sligo Rovers. John Gorman's only previous permanent role was a legendarily awful one at Swindon. Gareth Ainsworth had won 3 out 11 matches in two caretaker spells at QPR. Matt Bloomfield won 9 out of 28 at Colchester.

The only managers we have ever appointed since joining the league with a record of success elsewhere prior to joining us were Alan Smith, Peter Taylor and Gary Waddock.

Billionaire Tony Bloom did well at Brighton as well.

Some Russian millionaires did invest in a small club called Bournemouth, they are not doing too badly at the moment.
