Compare Rob’s comments in this to the club statement today. It might all be hot air but it’s important hot air.

Is he, though?

Several things can be true at once:

Some Gasroomers have inside knowledge, and the vibe from them hasn't been good.

Some Gasroomers don't, but like to pretend they do.

Some people don't like Rice etc and are happy to believe, and pass on, anything that puts them in a bad light.

I know which posters i'd put in which category. Other opinions are available.

The least unlikely scenario to draw from the public information is that the non-signing of Morley swiftly followed by at least one, probably two, record signings felt like a final straw for Blooms.

Another not unlikely scenario is that Blooms is an ambitious man in a cut throat business and knows this is his window of opportunity. Maybe Luton isn't the first job he's applied for this season. He's wise enough to know that 'three and a half years,' at Luton can quickly turn into three and a half months but maybe that represents more job security than he had here. I would imagine that when Luton met his release clause over the weekend there simply wasn't enough will on either side to keep working together.

Nah, there was a difference with the Couhigs.

For one thing, Pete is a fan.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

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.

Any day he's anywhere near here he's on a day's holiday remember

If we appoint Sarina Wiegman I’m back on team Rice
