I don't doubt that the board wanted their own guy; it's also clear that Luton is a huge step up. If they were really intent on 'forcing him out', Blooms would have gone months ago.

Why is it so hard for you to doubt that people will know what has gone on? Some people will post rubbish, but there will be some genuine information out there. People aren’t going to give up their sources ( why would they?).

Who knows, one day, in a land far far away, he may return as our prodigal son. Till then all the best JMc.

Good luck J, you are one of the best .

Really. Are these the dames guys who said Sonny was not a Bloomfield signing. Only for Bloomfield to come a couple of days later to say he phoned Paul Warne at Derby.

copy and paste from the dreaded Facebook page:

Different take on the Bloomfield situation 

So far everything the ownership have done since arriving has improved Wycombe Wanderers.

New training ground

Squad investment (largest budget any manager has ever had)

New Gym at training ground

Millions invested on the pitches at the training ground

Reopening the Academy for future benefit 

Overseeing the club to 2nd in the league.

Excited to see us get an upgrade on Matt Bloomfield 👍

very well said I must say. Popular or unpopular at the end of the day there will be life for Wycombe Wanderers after Bloomfield. Would I have liked him to still be part of us growing as a club, yes, do I trust this ownership group to keep making strides and taking us further than we have ever gone before, yes. Time to come together as a fan base and embrace what’s to come for our club.

Brought this silly old fool to tears again.

I'm not going to criticise people who thought Bloomfield should have gone for the terrible run of form last year as he would have been sacked at pretty much any other club. I was of the opinion he should have been given a chance to correct missteps with the recruitment over the previous summer, fortunately he was.

Niall Quinn was, in his own words, crap when he did both roles. There's a reason he lasted 6 games, won only once, and then hired Roy Keane!

Appears he has taken an early retirement and joined the coaching staff at Brighton u21s. I’ve never met him but apparently he is a really intelligent and great guy, who is clearly in the next step of his career now and looking to the long term.

I hope there is no underlying injury that we are not aware of, and who knows perhaps we will see him back on our coaching staff at some point in the future?

Best of luck Jason, and Brighton are lucky to have you.
