It is possible that some people may know a bit more than others about what's going on behind the scenes than others, surely you'd accept that?

They might be Luton's Ainsworth/Bayo next week (too soon?)

So much of modern football is totally disillusioning for me and I’m ‘only’ in my 20s, so I am particularly receptive to your post knowing you are a man of experience @micra . I don’t know why I feel obliged to apologise but I am sorry. I really wish it wasn’t this way. I completely align with your feelings.

There's a difference between strongly asserting an opinion and throwing borderline conspiracy theories out there, come on.

The irony of you telling people not to state things as fact!

(Love you, Tom)

FWIW I'd absolutely love to be forced out of my current job into one with a significantly higher salary too.

Do you remember when losing Morley was the most of our problems? Already feels like halcyon days.

If Blooms was leaving to take over somewhere lower down the pyramid, you truthers might have a point, but he's going to an upwardly mobile club with a fantastic chance of reaching the Premier League. Be sad that he's leaving, sure, but try being happy for him - he deserves this.

And believe he's being forced out if you must, but don't go stating it like it's fact. You don't know - none of us truly do.

I thought it might’ve done until today. I’ve loved Wycombe Wanderers and everything the club has always stood for over the best part of 60 years. It has remained an oasis of joy and togetherness in a troubled world and a broken divided Britain. So much so that it has felt a bit selfish to be enjoying the one interest in life, however superficial and inconsequential, that helps to shut out the woes of the world for at least a good deal of the time.

I was extremely emotional this morning when writing about the increasing likelihood that we were about to lose such a brilliant, strongly committed manager, not just as a coach but as a highly intelligent, articulate guy with a rare ability to inspire respect and harmony within a large and disparate group of players.

My mood wasn’t helped by fellow Gasroomers who disrespected my feelings this morning by tapping the thumbs down icon.

Say what you like about Rob Couhig, and what he did and didn't understand about English football, but the one thing he definitely understood was the worth of the people who really mattered to the heart and soul of Wycombe.

Whether it was Bayo, or Gaz, or Blooms, or Phil Catchpole; Rob understood the value of these people, how much they meant to the fans, and backed them to do the work they needed to do.

The academy stuff is all very sensible and forward thinking, and spending money on talented players is terribly exciting, but right now I wish we could go back to how it was before. This feels like a real loss.
