Best Of

You’re mixing up two things here. No-one (as far as I can see) is questioning Matt’s decision-making here. The move to Luton clearly works for him.

The issue is whether we have done enough to try to keep him. And moving more into the realms of speculation, whether it’s convenient for the owners that he moves on because they wanted someone else in anyway.

Don't be silly, that's far too sensible

He may or may not have been forced out.

What we do know is that he is going to a club in a higher division, with money, probably been offered a longer contract and better salary and there is space for his backroom staff.

Now if I had been offered a better job, on more money and with a longer contract, I would have probably accepted it

There is no doubt he is leaving as he felt he had no control , no manager would leave a side second in the league especially when you have been at the club for twenty years if you were happy. He wasn’t the best paid player but then again Wycombe gave him a safe contract for a long time for being a decent player who gave his 100% every game when not injured. I think he should have stayed to the end of the season if he could , I really hope it works out at Luton but they won’t be so patient . Regardless we are now in the position we are in, let’s see where the new adventure takes us.

Kone and Bloomfield strike me as very similar. Really nice people who also have a ruthless streak and burning ambition.

I was hoping they'd be our Ainsworth/Bayo 2,0 but it isn't to be. Can't have everything in life.

Probably not, as long as get a nice poll with it! 😁

Brilliant post.

I was a Wycombe Wanderers FC supporter yesterday. I am a Wycombe Wanderers FC supporter today. I will be a Wycombe Wanderers FC supporter tomorrow.

it just doesn’t feel quite as special being one as it did though today.

I get that today is a day where a lot of people want to attack Dan Rice for supposedly not backing Bloomfield by offering him a new contract. But each of you should just cast your mind back to a year ago when almost every last one of you called for Matt to be sacked (all except @glasshalfempty, who couldn't bring himself to do so but asked for others to say it for him). Maybe Matt has decided that loyalty to a club - any club - is only worth so much. That winners take opportunities offered to them and that sentimentality only ever buys you a certain amount of good will in football. He had an incredibly bruising time of it. You can perhaps understand why he would make a hard-headed decision for himself now as a result.

I understand the concern, but what's to say we can't continue being a family club? I would hope the players aren't suddenly told to reduce interaction with fans.
