Best Of

Come on lads, we don't know who the next manager is yet. Or what players are about to sign. We've still got a squad full of some really good people. Imagine being a Man Utd fan for an idea of what bad really looks like.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good overreaction

The transfers IN are doubling.

We've not seen what we're like at selling yet.

Though 1.6m for Morley is suddenly ON.

For all my jesting earlier, this is a very sad day. I notice that right now I don’t care much about our upcoming fixtures or the cup. It is the end of an era and the future feels very uncertain all of a sudden.

I suppose it may yet not come to pass but that is faint hope now.

Good luck to you Matt and family and thank you for being part of something so special.

It's interesting how many posts like this you see on EFL forums nowadays. I always put it as "I have gone off football, but love Wycombe." But many are disenchanted with the whole thing.

Money does have a way of ruining everything, especially romance.

I think some people are forgetting that if Blooms leaves, it's a choice he's made. Everything else is just speculation.

It's very sad that a club legend hasn't stayed to finish the job - whatever the reasons may be - but a read of just a few posts here would suggest he'd been unceremoniously sacked...

Very well said. Our successes under Ainsworth and Bloomfield have meant that bit more because of the bond built up over years by the respective managers that made us that bit more proud of what the club as a whole had achieved. The impression that Matt Bloomfield (justified or not) has been shuffled towards the exit by the new owners who want their own man in will certainly leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth in the short term at least.

All the while huge amounts of money that the club doesn't have being chucked on massive gambles on players from Scandinavia feels pretty alien to our club, no wonder it feels so wrong that we're turning into the sort of profligate club we so delighted in doing a number on in the past.

It looks like my final match of this era was away at Shrewsbury, for a resounding 4-1 win, masterminded by the legend Matt Bloomfield, just before Christmas, with my son, and I also got to see and say goodbye to the other legend GA. Perfect.

On the whole I find the musings of journalists only marginally less unreliable than the odds setting of bookies, but that is me. I fully accept others experience & mileage may differ.

The salient points underpinning my post were

a) none of you are insiders so everything is speculation

b) if it is genuinely a done deal & he goes to LTFC then of course we have the right to ask why he felt this was the right time when he had over 17 months left on his current contract, thouvh I wont hold my breath on anyone at the club telling us; and Blooms is too respectable to disclose the details until he writes his memoirs.

Yes, pretty much this all over.

Time moves on, football moves even quicker, and new heroes and legends are made, but it just feels a waste of what could've been.

MB taking us to the championship would've been a story to perhaps even topple our first promotion there. If he becomes the manager he's shown the last year, who knows where he could've taken us.

Rob Couhig looked silly in his Stetson and dad trainers, but at least he was at the ground.

We laughed at the Wycombe Way and the Worldwide Wycombe Phenomenon, but at least it was all about Wycombe, and not numbers on a spreadsheet.
