Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
i think it fell apart after ainsworth and dobbo left due to the fact that team/squad was done, ainsworth style of play and having a magic man mehmeti helped get us to where he left. i think we would of dropped off if ainsworth would of stayed after selling mehmeti
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I think people saying Bloomfield is leaving as he feels he has no control need to be a bit realistic. I would say 90% of clubs in the efl nowadays have sporting directors and people behind the scenes that are in charge of recruitment. Of course the manager will have a say in things, but not the final say. That's how football has evolved now (not that i agree with it). Of course i am devastated Matty is leaving, but don't agree with people trying to state facts like they know something has gone on behind the scenes. Its all conspiracy theories at this stage. However, lets remember what Dan and co have done this this club in such a short space of time. The Academy has reopened, we have a new training facility, we have broken our record transfer fee twice this January window. If i was Matt i would be pretty happy with that backing, unlike the days of Ainsworth having to buy footballs himself and cut the grass at Marlow road. Bit of respect on the ownership groups names please and not just pointing the finger at them.

It's a little bit "I told you so" without ever having actually told us...

Just retelling the story to my wife who as pragmatic as ever says “you’ll learn to love someone new”.
Morning everyone 😢
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
There's nothing more annoying on an anonymous Internet forum then people telling us they have insider information that means something is a fact, without actually telling us any actual details. If you know what's been going on behind the scenes - do share please - but otherwise don't bother saying anything.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Hoping it is announced soon - constantly refreshing this page yesterday and this morning is not doing me any good!
If this move is happening because of behind the scenes tension, I’m just happy Bloomfield had ended up somewhere ‘better’ on paper. With the job he’s done in the last year, he’s earned it. Hopefully it’s onwards and upwards for the rest of managerial career.
Over the last 12 years plus I guess we’ve been in little bubble compared to the way football has moved in terms of managers role and average tenure length.
The players reaction will be very important. Hoping the season doesn’t fall apart like when Gareth and Dobbo left.
Ironic after all the talk and speculation about the transfer window, this happens and much of that talk becomes redundant!
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I don’t do insider facts, but on this occasion I will step in and respectfully say that you’re categorically wrong here.
Thankfully, Blooms has got a decent job on his own terms and escaped the orbit of Dan, Eduard and their hangers on.
