Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I agree. Iβm trying to forge an unpopular third way, in which the actions of Dan Rice and Matt Bloomfield are inevitable rather than Machiavellian.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Maybe Matt knew he was not wanted from the start, and the pressure grew every time they sacked someone out from under him? If he was not wanted, he knew he was a bad run away from the sack himself, and bad runs always happen eventually. I know I would be looking for a new gig as soon as it was made clear I was not the company man. That certainly does not make him guilty of anything.
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
I know he won't be here forever with us but we'll enjoy it while it lasts.
No idea how we managed to get him, was my choice when Hurst left.
Still seems surreal he is our manager. Funny game the links between our clubs now with you having Luke and Dan. Hope you clinch it unlike the media darlings Wrexham.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
He was prob between a rock and a hard place. He didn't want to loss face with us (the fans) by giving an update saying something like "Yea, I've had a few conversations and who knows what is and isn't going to happen." At the end of the day, he could have gone to Luton, realise it wasn't for him and could have been leading training by Tuesday.
I know I've been in a situation where I've gone for an interview, didn't get the feel for the place / work / position and withdrawn from the process without letting my boss know as I didn't want to burn that bridge too soon.
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
Yeah a fit Dom Gape is superb, just not a common sighting over the last few years! A cult hero here at Wycombe for scoring the goal that got us promoted in 2018. Also produced an outside of the boot assist away at Luton once I still drool over. Great guy too.
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
Was that the one where we went 2-0 down early on and won 3-2? Allsop got sent off?
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
His goal v Scunthorpe at home was a worldie too
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
But for so many injuries he would have become a Championship standard player.
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
Great result last night. Shrewsbury now my second team. However, I would have Gaz and Dobbo back at Wycombe and I hope we make them an offer.
Dom Gape is a great player at this level and as others have said, if you can keep him fit.
Good luck for the rest of the season πππ.
