Best Of

My view is to take a few deep breaths and wait to hear from Rice et al in the next few days. I don't expect a full post mortem of what has happened - if anything - to push MB towards the exit, but I'm sure he'll want to celebrate MB's impact at the club and thank him for his tenure. And then reassure about the future and the journey we're on.

Ultimately the posters who are reminding us that this is MB's decision are absolutely correct. He is choosing this; I'm sure for a whole host of good reasons. And after 20 years of wonderful service and memories I don't begrudge him that at all. If he's even a fraction as successful at Luton as he has been here they're in for a hell of a ride.

Thanks for the memories Matt. I doubt I'll see another player commit to our wonderful club like you have again. Oh - and my belief in you wavered in the first half against Fleetwood last January. Please forgive me!

Still a potentially very exciting window for us, currently linked with:

Danny Imran

Jamie Jellis

Magnus Westergaard

Lloyd Jones

a striker from AFC Wimbledon I believe?

With 2 signings in the door already and Sadlier and Kodua back from injury.

Lets just hope the new manager is as good as Blooms.

I think we have every chance of making the playoffs. For me it is all the visions of it being with Mr. Wycombe at the helm that are a little sad, and knowing that the scintillating style we played with at times is now consigned to the rubbish heap. I really enjoyed Blooms' mix of direct and possession football, but I suspect we are going to lean more to the latter now.

Either way, I am sure we'll all be singing "There's only one Olaf Leif Knudsson-Haarborg" by May, but maybe just because there really is only one Olaf Leif Knudsson-Haaborg.

Dan RIce can get fucked. As can the stupid academy project.

The next few years might be very difficult for you. Unless Lommy decides he prefers basketball.

It all boils back to the same point a poster made a few months ago. Bloomfield never made proper money in his playing career. He spent most of it in League 2. Some of it paid by us fans or the trust, but a lot of it injured or on the bench or a bit part player. He had a lengthy career, but not one where he is set for life. He’s almost certainly been offered a salary which doubles his current remuneration, his contract length has doubled too, he’s quintupled his playing budget and more. Luton are one of the best five or six ‘well-run‘ clubs in the Championship. He can take the whole staff room with him because they’re local and of limited size. He was boo’ed off the pitch a year ago by a bunch of our idiots. He knows football fans are thick as mince. It’s a total no brainer. His recent interview suggested it was all about providing for his girls. I wholeheartedly respect him for that. It’s a life changing move for him. I think he’ll do a fantastic job.

Who said money doesn't buy you happiness? They had a good point.

That might well be the case, but we honestly don't know, and I'm not sure we ever will.

I'm as gutted as anyone that he's leaving, it finally feels like the end of an era that started at Torquay away. The future is definitely uncertain, but it could be extremely exciting too. We're in for a wild ride, either way.

Agree with all of you above. This marks the end of an era that spanned everything GA and MB, and we will now become a completely different type of club. I does feel like the crossing of the Rubicon.

I keep refreshing the page desperately hoping this isn’t happening, but it is isn’t it.

It felt written in the stars Mr Wycombe was going to take us to the promised land, rewarding an almost unimaginable patience shown by the last regime.

And Luton? The most non-Bloomfield type fan base in the country. Seems a long time ago I was there watching MB send them out the league.

I genuinely don’t feel as if Blooms has had much option, which makes things all the more heartbreaking.
