Different take on the Bloomfield situation 

So far everything the ownership have done since arriving has improved Wycombe Wanderers.

New training ground

Squad investment (largest budget any manager has ever had)

New Gym at training ground

Millions invested on the pitches at the training ground

Reopening the Academy for future benefit 

Overseeing the club to 2nd in the league.

Excited to see us get an upgrade on Matt Bloomfield 👍

very well said I must say. Popular or unpopular at the end of the day there will be life for Wycombe Wanderers after Bloomfield. Would I have liked him to still be part of us growing as a club, yes, do I trust this ownership group to keep making strides and taking us further than we have ever gone before, yes. Time to come together as a fan base and embrace what’s to come for our club.

POTD

Brought this silly old fool to tears again.

I'm not going to criticise people who thought Bloomfield should have gone for the terrible run of form last year as he would have been sacked at pretty much any other club. I was of the opinion he should have been given a chance to correct missteps with the recruitment over the previous summer, fortunately he was.

Niall Quinn was, in his own words, crap when he did both roles. There's a reason he lasted 6 games, won only once, and then hired Roy Keane!

Appears he has taken an early retirement and joined the coaching staff at Brighton u21s. I’ve never met him but apparently he is a really intelligent and great guy, who is clearly in the next step of his career now and looking to the long term.

I hope there is no underlying injury that we are not aware of, and who knows perhaps we will see him back on our coaching staff at some point in the future?

Best of luck Jason, and Brighton are lucky to have you.

Is that you Ian Beale?

After a crap night to sleep on it!!!

With a new morning and the sun in the sky, I’ve decided that his role now at Wycombe is probably not the role he took on. Despite his love for our club, he strikes me as very ambitious and his stock is currently incredibly high. Luton are ultimately local and despite being a s#1th0le they have lots going for them and do have similarities to us in terms of punching above their weight in recent times. They have a new ground on the horizon and a nucleus of a good championship team, just struggling with the adjustment back after relegation and losing their focal point in Ross Barkley and probably a couple of others.

If he genuinely feels he can move them forward over the next 12-18 months then sadly for us this is a great opportunity for him, and avoids him having any real fall out within the club and towards the fan base if he doesn’t feel he has such full control over the things he may previously have had as manager here.

If he continues his upward trajectory which I believe he will, then I accept sooner or later he will be employed somewhere as a head coach with a far reaching scouting network with all the data involved etc. But this is normal in the upper echelons of the English game - it’s not so normal in a third tier club with average gates of 5,000. When this happens it’s different as he will no doubt know and embrace what he is signing up for.

I’ve accepted he is leaving unless he finds the strength of Saint Martin O’Neill to turn down Nottingham Forest in the 90’s to see the job through.

We will move on and it will be different, I agree with many that this is the crossroad now where it will probably never be the same again. However, overall we have some very good things happening at our beloved club and we are still an incredibly fortunate fanbase.

Finally I expect that both Luton and Wycombe will publish an announcement on the websites and social media at exactly the same time at some point this morning.

Good luck Matt, you absolute legend. You will always be Mr Wycombe to me. Go and smash it Luton lad, and I hope we can meet again in a Championship fixture next season.

Over and out.

I got nothing left

Do we get the "transfer record broken" sweetener before or after Blooms' departure is announced?

He's obviously wanted out for a while, as it seems he had talks with Coventry and Millwall. Though he also has form for leaving a manager job for a better offer.

There must be a clash somewhere behind the scenes, but he is getting noticed because the budget has been pumped up, and in a position to actually challenge.

Good luck to him, and it will be interesting to see the next guy in charge.
