Best Of

I have been reading through all the messages, dumbfounded at what we're potentially witnessing. If he goes this really leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I stood by him last season and backed him all the way, my heart said he would get it right, whilst half time at Fleetwood I understood why he may have been let go by the club. I never thought we should let him go.

If Rice et al truly wanted to keep him, with the money they are throwing around on transfers, I do not believe Matt would have given it a second thought. The reason being, is they could have increased his salary enough to protect him and his girls for the future, clearing his mortgage and continuing his love affair with us. It may not have been quite what Luton were offering but it would have been more than enough to stay.

MB is a man of principles, and I believe he would have turned down this job if Couhig was still at the helm and had the type of money now available. Couhig would have had a new contract out ages ago, he would be waxing lyrical and giving it large all over social media about MB and MB would be going nowhere, regardless of the increase in money. I could only of seen MB going to a really big club but only once he'd got his true love back into the Championship or completed this season.

The Doctor and physio at the begining of the season, the Mitchell affair and the lack of knowledge of some of the incoming transfers have made him worry about how long he's going to be here. If the likes of Matt Cecil and Phil start to walk out the door, that would speak volumes to me and confirm my suspicions that all is not what it seems. It's clearly Dan Rice's ship and he wants all his own people in and to clear out any semblence of the previous regime.

I'm not sure if I like where we're heading, and I'm not sure how this will make me feel in a few months time. Currently I feel like handing in my season ticket and not returning. I cannot prove anything but I feel like MB has been treated absolutely diabolically by this new regime and I'm not sure I want to support them going forwards.

We're no longer David, struggling against the odds, all in it together. We're just a PR machine, throwing money we traditionally don't have at Dan Rice's vanity project. I do not like it one iota. Until I've calmed down and the dust has settled, I am not sure whether my love of Wycombe will win me over or my hatred of the new regime. I suppose I may now understand how @Eddie Monsoon felt all those years ago.

I think I'll only truly find out how I feel as more information gets leaked in the coming months and when it comes to renew my season ticket at the end of the season.

I've met Matt on several occasions, he is the nicest guy in football, loves Wycombe dearly and if he has chosen to leave it has nothing to do with Luton and everything to do with Dan Rice et al.

You do realise that a lot of people on here have friends and family who work(ed) for the club right?

Totally agree. Even Ainsworth, who controlled everything at our club, had to get a job which had a sporting director sitting above him. It does make me smile that a number of posters , with absolutely no inside knowledge have peddled their thoughts as real facts going on behind the scene. Hence creating in their minds real tension between Rice and Bloomfield. I expect we’ll never know the truth but could it just be , Bloomfield thinks the job at Luton is better than Wycombe. More money, more prospects, better crowds and a new stadium in the planning. Sounds pretty compelling. I just think some posters need to understand where Wycombe are in the food chain now. Who knows in the future?

Plenty of people were worried but wanted Bloomfield to turn it around and backed him, and got told to F off at Orient and Derby for our troubles

It's the what could have been that makes it so much worse.

It's not Lampard sacked from Chelsea, it's off the back of an incredible season where it is perfectly realistic Blooms could be managing us in the Championship on 6 months

best of luck Jason!

i think it fell apart after ainsworth and dobbo left due to the fact that team/squad was done, ainsworth style of play and having a magic man mehmeti helped get us to where he left. i think we would of dropped off if ainsworth would of stayed after selling mehmeti

I think people saying Bloomfield is leaving as he feels he has no control need to be a bit realistic. I would say 90% of clubs in the efl nowadays have sporting directors and people behind the scenes that are in charge of recruitment. Of course the manager will have a say in things, but not the final say. That's how football has evolved now (not that i agree with it). Of course i am devastated Matty is leaving, but don't agree with people trying to state facts like they know something has gone on behind the scenes. Its all conspiracy theories at this stage. However, lets remember what Dan and co have done this this club in such a short space of time. The Academy has reopened, we have a new training facility, we have broken our record transfer fee twice this January window. If i was Matt i would be pretty happy with that backing, unlike the days of Ainsworth having to buy footballs himself and cut the grass at Marlow road. Bit of respect on the ownership groups names please and not just pointing the finger at them.
