Best Of

I understand the concern, but what's to say we can't continue being a family club? I would hope the players aren't suddenly told to reduce interaction with fans.

I think the ideal would be for Blooms to have Luton in top form next season, leading the league before he moves to the PL this time next season and Luton drop like, well if you know, you know.

It's been a horrible day, but at least this can be our last moment of celebration with Matt

The grandfather of the Gasroom has summed it up perfectly for me.

'You truthers' seemed to me to be lumping a bunch of people together in a denigrating manner. But I admit that could just be me.

The theory some people are putting forward could be wrong...there are some people on here I suspect sometimes are...I would like to think its not accurate myself but I don't think it's exactly outlandish.

But I don't have the stats to prove it either way.

I don’t think anyone’s disagreeing about the substantial incentives, at least from a financial point of view, which may or may not be tempting Matt to part company with the club he has loved being a part of for more than 20 years. The timing is a little difficult to understand, given that he could be on the verge of taking Wycombe, if permitted, to the Championship when there would quite possibly be more attractive options up for grabs, not least at Ipswich if they are relegated.

The sadness most of us feel arises from the fact that his departure would represent a severing of one of the last links with the kind of family orientated club which, for example, welcomes informal exchanges between individual players and fans on a regular basis.

Truthers? That's the sort of shite I come on here to avoid. I would rather be the Vaxxing Elite if you don't mind.

Thanks. Whilst never to be made light of, if football can make my mood worse then things can’t be that bad to begin with. If I was born in Denmark I’d probably have that summer feeling already.

Devastated.

The glass is empty now.

I do not think anyone at all begrudges Matt the chance to move on, even to Luton *shudder* and we are not too stupid (as some seem to think) to know how football works, but, given our position, given we were all surprised by it, it seemed (perhaps only by me) there was little of the public vocal support that he might have had from the club under the previous owners and there is a feeling abroad/conjecture/fever dream/chance he was pushed towards the door. Which I would find very disappointing. If we are not allowed to speculate, blame @glasshalffull,Luke Leahy, or the Danish Monarchy on here...where can we?

We seem to have gone from being able to say that's very sad and here's why I feel that way to being slapped round the face and told to get a grip.
