Isn't 33/1 his collar size?

I'm not so sure the links between Luton and Wycombe are going to be a happy conga line.

I don't think it should be considered a stretch to say that many people are simply mourning the end of the "culture" era, and concerned about what might happen to the atmosphere at the club now that one of the main agents of that culture has been made to feel extremely unwelcome.

Yes, of course we will have money, and may get to go to places we have never dreamed of on the pitch. I know we will all be behind a new manager and enjoy the wins. But there are some things people value beyond/besides success itself, and our club culture was very special.

Don't get me wrong, I think we had already peaked in this regard, simply because there was a point where Ainsworth, Dobbo, Bayo, Blooms and JJ were the five guys heading up the footballing side of the club, and I can't think of five finer human beings to combine for culture creation! So that is not to knock any of the excellent characters (such as Grimmer) who have remained from that era, or the great new faces (Kone, Lubala, Udoh, Leahy, etc.) who are characters in their own right.

For anyone banging on about the ownership being within their rights, I don't think anyone is disputing that - for me it just raises massive questions over their wisdom and foresight, to want a very successful club legend to leave. Birmingham were "within their rights" to sack Eustace, and hire Rooney, but no-one would call that a brilliant decision.

Hopefully it all works out for Blooms and for Wycombe, but I think there is a massive amount of risk and hubris being shown by the regime to constructively evict Blooms, though they have played a blinder in the way they did it - they have managed to get many Wycombe fans to turn against him immediately! Not only that, but if the season goes well they take the credit, whereas if it goes badly they blame him for walking out the door and sabotaging it.

I don't think that should make Low feel any more entitled to leave in the middle of a season - if anything he will make more money by being out of contract come the summer!

And his basic contractual requirement is to play football as well as he can! Let's not pretend he won't be getting a hefty bonus if we do go up as well

But he needn't worry. You promptly evened out the sneering scoreboard for him.

To be fair to the new owners, they did make it abundantly clear at the outset that the Academy was their priority.

You forgot to end your post sneeringly claiming no inside knowledge.

This is the most naïve post in the entire thread. Impressive.

According to the "Swansea Live" local paper, we've told Swansea that Joe Low isn't for sale this month.
