Great post @BobtheBlue 👍👍

What don’t you understand about the need to buy players with an eye on next season as it’s been explained multiple times that the financial rules are changing? Can’t you just be pleased that we are now in the market to buy players rather than find a negative?

It was a lovely day for a walk wasn't it. If you are relatively fit..use your legs!

Rather than just throw money into the transfer pot our American owners have invested in the infrastructure of the club and have already doubled our revenue, and that together with money from player sales (we are still getting money from the Jude Bellingham sale) has enabled us to spend those obscene amounts of money recruiting players.

Also they've taken advantage of the fact that unlike the Championship, in this division the FFP rules don't include spending on transfers (incredibly), so they've tried to sign 'Championship ready' players while they have the opportunity to do so.

TBH I am somewhat embarrassed by it, but after 13 years of perpetual struggle I'll take it 😃. And even with all that money, it doesn't guarantee success, as some bigger than us clubs have found in the past. Despite our success this season Chris Davies hasn't won a single manager of the month award, and rightly so given the huge advantage he has, but that's not to say he hasn't done a great job, because he could quite easily have f*cked it up!

All the best 👍️

Was reflecting on matches I've seen Wycombe play in recent years with large attendances. In the league I couldn't remember seeing us win any of these 'big' matches.

Checked the records and it looks like we've played league games in front of 15k+ crowds 19 times since COVID: W2. D5, L12.

One of those wins was against Reading with a crowd of 15,038 so only just snuck in.

Is this rather terrible record because those games are all away against bigger teams in our division, or is there something more psychological to it?? Would be worrying if it is the latter should we get promoted, as presumably we'd be encountering crowds of that size every other week

It does seem surprisingly complicated to quite a few people though.

Not me though, as I levelled you with a pro to make it 5v5 in the thumbing wars.

I remember when people bemoaned managers supposedly being vague and not wanting to give too much away and now we worry he's done for himself by not being 'media trained' enough to dodge a question?

I thought the question was valid, and his response was fine...he does not think they are better than the first 11 that have got us this far at the moment...not sure DR or Lommy will be ripping up his contract as yet.

I wish he'd decided to get under the financial wire by buying Morley as we have two midfielders who won't be here next season.
