What do I know for a fact?

Matt Bloomfield had total control of all playing aspects prior to the summer of 2024. Throughout the latter part of last year his close ally was sacked and he was removed of all responsibility for transfers. He didn’t even know what players Wycombe were looking at let alone buying!

Despite this Bloomfield led Wycombe to the top two against the odds. Understandably these exploits led to interest from other clubs. Bloomfield had less than 18 months were left on his contract. When anyone performs so well you’d expect a club to make damn sure they keep hold of such an asset. But no talks were even opened on a new contract.

I’ve heard plenty of other things from credible sources (some absolutely baffling stuff that I’m not going to share) that absolutely support the idea Bloomfield was forced out if those two big things are not enough.

We do know - aside from any ITK statements so that people who think they don't exist won't pout - that Rice sacked people around Blooms, refused to even say his name, and did not offer an extension, though.

I don't think you are ever dealing with 100% right and wrong when it comes to two fallible humans, but even if you want to stick your head in the stand and say ITKs don't exist, there are some pretty obvious indicators that Rice was making Blooms as uncomfortable and unwanted as possible, ranging from the passive aggressive to the outright aggressive.

Re: Rumour Mill

Just a reminder that our owner is a billionaire and has been splashing more money on recent transfers than we have ever seen.

We don't "need" to sell Kone even if 10 million is offered.... (I would for that 🤣)

We don't "need" to sell anyone for the money.....

I think the powers above have clicked on that this season, very early into their tenure.... has the potential to get us to The Championship at the earliest of opportunities. That has got to be favourable to the long term plan I would assume?
