Best Of

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.

You have to walk through someone's living room to get into the ground. I saw it on Football Focus or something.

I'm right there with you, mate. I'm actually furious!

I can’t get my head round how many of you are disbelieving. You’re all aware that Luton are in their first year of parachute payments, right? They obviously won’t be pushing for promotion this year but they are well set to finish at least in the playoffs in the next few years. Bloomfield could be a Premier League manager in 18 months - and he’d be deemed to be over-achieving in many circumstances because Luton are a ‘small club’.

Believe what you want mate

How do you know he’s been forced out ? Perhaps he’s just ambitious and sees Luton as a better option.

We won't be short of interest, that's for sure. I'd like Steven Schumacher, but also expect it will be someone we've never heard of. Exciting / nervous times indeed. I just hope this doesn't derail our window - reinforcements are still needed in a number of areas, while keeping hold of Low would be an even bigger bonus (though with today's news, I'd expect he's even more likely to want out).

Whatever way we go it feels like a fork in the road for Wycombe as a football club. A relatively unknown would be a different experience after having Gaz and MB in charge for so many years and both ingrained into our history and DNA.

We need someone who can implement a progressive system quickly. Rob Elliot has proved he can. But I'm minded to agree it'll be a hipster overseas pick.

Outsiders will look at this and think "shame for Wycombe they couldn't hang on to him, he was doing such a good job"

It is absolutely insane that he has been forced out of the door and out of a job that he loves. The more I think about it the more disbelieving I am
