Best Of

You read Bloomfield's comments and that was your take away? Seriously?

Have to say, I'm pretty disgusted from what I'm seeing/hearing. Heard from good sources that Rice is disliked within football generally and can now clearly see why.

absolutely embarrassing statement front he club and also comments from blooms were not great...he may have had a rift with Rice but not acknowledging his fans for over 20 years is awful...he is better than that

Shameful.

WWFC has become a soulless entity.

Empty.

Meaningless.

As a kid I knew a few Wycombe fans that also supported a top division side (from afar rather than attending matches). I show my age when that division was called 'Division One' and supporting Wycombe meant league games against Walthamstow, Windsor, St Albans and Croydon. It felt OK to do that as it was never likely their paths would cross. As a kid I picked Liverpool (because they were successful) but quickly grew out of that and developed a fondness for Wimbledon as you could look at them and imagine Wycombe doing something similar one day. Later I followed AFC Wimbledon (because of the MK disgrace) and again there was such a distance between them and us in terms of playing level that it seemed OK.

No doubt some of the same cretins giving him all sorts of abuse last year when we weren't winning. Some fans love to cry about loyalty but have very little themselves for the people they expect it from.

Seems odd that they didn't mention the academy.

Did you expect them to say thanks for leaving us in the shit 3 days after you said that your only focus was on Wycombe.Also if you say that he was having a pop at Rice he said the same thing about the supporters caring at Luton too. So is e having a pop at us as well?

Bournemouth and Brentford are the two most obvious examples of small family clubs that have ‘benefitted’ from a more professional ‘data driven’ regime. It’s nothing we couldn’t replicate. It would be interesting to know what their older fans think has been lost/gained in their movement through the divisions. From a personal point of view, I would love us to become an established Championship club, with the huge away followings and possibility of attracting a younger fan base. Our generation won’t be around forever. That probably wouldn’t have been possible under the Couhig’s, even though I really liked their daft American ways.

Interpretation is in the eye of the beholder, or something like that.

Given the statement from Bloomfield and the statement made by WWFC, my interpretation is that the current board at WWFC did the bare minimum to keep Matt and if anything helped to push him out the door.

MBs statement lays out all the values he has had at Wycombe for 20+ years of service, so if those values still ring true then there is no need to go searching for them somewhere else.

A real turning point in this club's history, that may well lead to unparalled success on the field but certainly derails everything else we have stood for off it.

A very sad day.
