Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Neil has moved to a similar role at Newcastle Race Course I believe. His girlfriend lives up there. Reasons beyond the current restructure will have played a part in the move no doubt. Although AP is clearly not the same environment in which he has done so much for the club behind the scenes over the past few seasons
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
Oh they'll all be about the optics here! Create a little bit of distance between Bloomfield leaving and announcing "Claus Norgaard' by teasing out that 'he's in the stands' on Saturday at Mansfield followed by the obligatory club in conversation teaser tweets/social posts late Saturday / Sunday morning and then announce press conference on Monday.
To keep the optics sweet they'll probably announce the signing of the other Danish lad on Tuesday after Norgaard has been paraded and they've gone hard on the 'Head coach role - not 'Manager'.
It's all just a game at the end of the day.
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
Not the best review of Norgaard here, if he is the man...
Is this rumour just people putting 2 (we've signed some Danes) + 2 (we like data) together or is there actually some strength to it?
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
I think there is someone very clearly lined up but it's the optic of it. To announce a new manager so soon after Bloomfield leaving wouldn't be the smart move. They have to at least look like there's been a process.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I write with a deep sense of sadness in my heart. I brought both of my children up through their formative and teenage years watching Wycombe Wanderers, come rain or shine. Daddy why cant we be.....Chelsea or Tottenham fans i can hear them cry. However, they went along with me in supporting their local team and whilst they find it difficult to attend the games now as they are all grown up and live away, they still avidly support the Wycombe. I encouraged them to support our team as I wanted to instill in them a sense of pride, confidence,family values and loyalty. Even in the days of Sharky and Couhig it felt like a family club. Now it just feels empty.
I am not so naive as to understand the way football is going and that money is needed to be successful in pure footballing terms, but I was however hoping that the new management team would understand and embrace the values and ethos of the club they had inherited.
Apparently not, and so, we now must move on to the next chapter in the club's long and eventful history. I for one will remain a loyal fan as will many on this forum. Let's just hope that in some small way this loyalty will be reciprocated by the new leadership team.

All three are seasoned presenters. I don't care that much.

Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
The market's so small that you could put a tenner on anyone and they'd become the leading candidate.
@LX1 taught me this.
