Get Alexander Blessin from St Pauli and this place will be purring
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Rice might have all the cheesy goodness on screen but he’s clearly a ruthless operator on the quiet. Not a fella to be trifled with. He’s the footballing equivalent of Musk or Zuckerberg.
He is running the show top to bottom and when he takes Wycombe to the Premier League everyone will be claiming him to be the new messiah.
At least Bloomers will no longer need to sleep in the training ground at Lane End - puffa jacket for a pillow and wires hanging out of the wall as his plasma screen has been UPS’d to Harlington.
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
McCarthy confirmed as a U21 professional development coach at Brighton, like someone said a few days ago.
That feels a surprise still, in a week of surprises!
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
You’re mixing up two things here. No-one (as far as I can see) is questioning Matt’s decision-making here. The move to Luton clearly works for him.
The issue is whether we have done enough to try to keep him. And moving more into the realms of speculation, whether it’s convenient for the owners that he moves on because they wanted someone else in anyway.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
He may or may not have been forced out.
What we do know is that he is going to a club in a higher division, with money, probably been offered a longer contract and better salary and there is space for his backroom staff.
Now if I had been offered a better job, on more money and with a longer contract, I would have probably accepted it
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
There is no doubt he is leaving as he felt he had no control , no manager would leave a side second in the league especially when you have been at the club for twenty years if you were happy. He wasn’t the best paid player but then again Wycombe gave him a safe contract for a long time for being a decent player who gave his 100% every game when not injured. I think he should have stayed to the end of the season if he could , I really hope it works out at Luton but they won’t be so patient . Regardless we are now in the position we are in, let’s see where the new adventure takes us.
