Nah, there was a difference with the Couhigs.
For one thing, Pete is a fan.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
- The release clause was set in the contract given to him by the Couhigs. I imagine during that run paticular run of form £100k felt optimistic.
- From what I had seen the comments from the brother and AH were around transfers and departure of Scott Mitchell. Bloomfield's pal. We dont know what happened, but nothing suggests that the Directors or, specifically Dan Rice did anything wrong here. With the money being spent, it's understandable they want a level of control over recruitment.
- We don't know the fee commanded by Bolton for Morley. Why should we be held to ransom when they seemingly have numerous other options who could easily be superior.
- That particular story was the one reporting the release clause. If a release clause is met we can't do an awful lot to stop it. As per the original post, there appears to be a falling out but we are jumping to conclusions on the reasons why.
If you believe earlier reports, MB had already entertained talks with Coventry and Milwall. That doesn't translate to confidence from the owners.

I suspect there will be a percentage of Gasroomers grumbling under their breath, a percentage of Facebookers standing by the drummer swearing about Judases, a percentage of easily-led near them who have no idea what they are swearing about but join in, a percentage saying 'Where's Bloomfield today, is he ill?' and a percentage who don't actually give a toss who the manager is.

Picture announcing GA leaving v picture announcing Blooms leaving.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Food for thought. Luton Town FC have behaved (at least by the publicly available information) with considerably more class over this ‘transfer’ than Wycombe Wanderers FC.
That is probably the most depressing sentence I have ever had to write.

Just rewatched Matt’s interview after the Portsmouth match. Never never saw this coming. Very sad day and unbelievable timing.
