Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I wouldn't say Luton (whilst a shithole) is on the down. I would say on paper Luton has more potential than us.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I still can't believe some of the dislike for the Couhigs on here. They're not your most conventional football club owners for sure, but overall they were a huge net positive for WWFC. I personally think Pete is a very good man with a genuine enthusiasm for the club
Re: Other Football
Gaz's last game in charge was a win over the 1929 FA Cup winners
Blooms' last game in charge was a win over the 1939 FA Cup winners
Which means the next guy will bow out by beating the 1949 FA Cup winners: Wolves, in what will be the two WWFCs' first-ever PL meeting 🔮
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
The Couhig period was far, far better than most of the detractors would have it...and of course after several years they could say 'I told you several years ago he was just in it to sell at a profit...'
No-one thought he was a cuddly benefactor (as the years of posts criticial of him would attest) but he bought into the culture to a degree (or at least could fake it) and left us in a better position than he found us.
The worrying thing about the new people is we sort of have no real idea what their agenda is...but perhaps time will tell. we'll have a great few years and we'll end up even more worried when we become Musk SpaceX Wanderers.
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
Jack Wilshere was manager of Arsenal U18s when they got to the FA Youth Cup final; they lost 5-1 to a West Ham side captained by our very own Gideon Kodua, who also scored an audacious 35 yarder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGwxKsGkdhw (3:40 in the video)
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
Ashley Cole has a good coaching record, heard people say good things about him, and was very much a model professional.
He would make a good head coach.
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
Ashley Cole's coaching path has taken in time at Academy level and in the England Youth Set Up. I'd imagine he's he type of candidate the owners might be keen on.
If his name wasn't Ashley Cole, we'd probably be a bit keener on that pathway. Just a shame he's proven himself to be a bit of a bellend in the past.
