Probably a fair bit more than that across the last 3 windows, plus wages

4pm announce Bloomy has left

4.01pm announce an all time record signing.

Well this season has had it all so far, success on the pitch, drama off it. I'm sad about whats happening, I don't want Matt to leave, once a legend, always a legend but if something feels right for him and his family then he has to listen to that calling. Matt's stock has never been higher and he's riding the wave as much as we have been towards the top of the table.

I can only wish him all the success in the future, I hope that we don't forget the years he played for us and stuck by us through thick & thin and I hold him in higher regard than GA (who is in my Top 3 people ever to have been a part of WWFC). He will be missed, we'll have to expect some short-term uncertainty & potentially some performances that we aren't used to after the high standard that Matt has left us with. However history has taught us that we are always a club that recovers to whatever is thrown at it. Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes when we almost drop out of the EFL or go bust, but we bounce back, stronger, more together and the community of this club will never die.

I want the club should go all out for Rob Edwards and his team. The assistants and 2 analysts have also just left them. With what the future holds there are similarities between us and Luton and despite him looking absolutely shattered at the end of his tenure at Luton this could be exactly what he needs with the support of his trusted team around him. There is also the benefit that he and his background staff are all available and must be relatively local to us too.

If anyone reading this thread is planning to register an anonymous whistleblower account, remember to sign up using a disposable email service and a use VPN so that there's nothing I could turn over if sued.

To be honest, we are entering the Manager's transfer market at the right time. In my opinion, there are several managers out there that could do an amazing job if the club want to give them a package that makes it worth their while. Managers like Rob Edwards, Gary O'Neil or Rob Page all fit the similar hole that Matt Bloomfield will be leaving. I might be looking outside of our catchment area and we might get a manager who is currently employed but I'm sad but also excited to see what's next for this amazing football club!

They've just spent upwards of £1million on first team signings...

Football is a fickle game. 12 months ago I was hoping that Rob would put Matt out of his obvious misery by relieving him of the manager's job. I didn't want him gone because of the results I wanted him gone as it looked like it was killing him in the interviews following another abject performance and result. Roll forward today and I am gutted to see him go. But that's football. The only consistent is us idiots.

The king is dead long live the king.

Pretty much what I was going to say
