Best Of

I didn't think I could get more sad than I was but that article on the website has turned that to pure anger.

That website as of yesterday morning should have had page after page of tributes to Matt Bloomfield. Articles highlighting the major highs of his career at Wycombe which he reminds us is his entire adult life. An interview with the man himself reminiscing about his time here and what the future may hold.

Instead we get an insult to all our intelligence. A cold-hearted few lines about how they're disappointed he's chosen to leave.

It is staggering to me that anyone who calls themself a Wycombe fan is ok with all this

"The Club is naturally disappointed with Matt’s decision to leave in the middle of the season"

'LOL'

Will they let us in for free when Wycombe are at home as well?

I tell you what, whatever else the ownership group might be good at, managing the narrative is not one of them is it?

There's a way they could have done this where everybody comes out looking far better than they do now. Instead, they're at the helm of the leakiest ship in the ocean and everyone knows exactly what has been going on since day 1.

Which brings me back to a point I've made a few times, do they even care what fans think? My conclusion thus far from the evidence we have is no, they do not.

I had an experience where I was part of a group coming in to restructure a company with terrible processes and a toxic culture. Even after the restructure was a massive, measurable success, those of us who came in to do it were treated with disdain, and once we gradually left for places we were more appreciated, successful processes we put in were reversed, so that the people running the show could try and look like the smartest people in the room.

Success can actually annoy some people if it does not look like their doing.

@Chris yes I love spag bol, but whenever I’ve said to myself that dinner tasted fantastic it’s definitely down to the bolognese rather than the pasta element!

Having said that maybe Mrs username123 buys cr@p spaghetti.

Hadn't realised that Neil Peters had gone - sad news. He always responded promptly and thoroughly to emails I sent in about stuff that was probably very low on his list of priorities. Another of the good guys gone.

He'll be back, we'll all be back.

I don't think the spell at Weymouth particularly helped. They loved his energy but he spent more time fighting for position than actually getting chances as there was no creativity in the Weymouth midfield. Didn't give him much chance to find his scoring form. It's a confidence thing more than anything. If he can keep getting into the right places then once the first one or two goals go in the conversion rate will get much better.

Bloomfield and Catchpole have both used the phrase "top man" at the end of numerous interviews. Nothing to read into there.
