It'd be an embarrassment of defensive riches if we ended up with Low staying, new Dane 1 AND Crama!

The above is personal expirence btw.

I worked for a company for 10 years. I went in in a specific role which was more a customer service based role to sell services within the IT sector. I had a pool of 1000-customers and the goal was incremental sales. As time went on that role changed and adapted so that while I was doing the same sort of role it was massively different and focused on 20 to 30 larger customers focusing on business changing, long term projects. I went from focusing on turning around 30/40 deals a month to hit my 100k a month target to 2 or 3 to hit the same 100k target.

I loved the original job and the variety. Hated what the job evolved into.

I found a new environment. Change happens with new management and targets. Thats ok. No one was the bad guy. Things just change.

Will you be moving on from groaning on about Luke Leahy every matchday thread?

Yep, and this signals the real change in Wycombe Wanderers football club.

Its a business now backed by a billionaire. Not the small family club we once were.

This is the real dilemma we as supporters now face.

or they didnt have the spine to sack a club legend for no reason because of the heat it would of brought. To play devils advocate here.

I think there is a big difference between Rob and ML. From what I could see, Rob only had this on the go and ML has his fingers in many pies and relies on his appointees to do the work. I had a lot of respect for Rob and I’m unlikely to meet anyone who has his passion. I know I’ll never see ML in the beer tent (drinks are on me if I’m wrong)

Time to move on. Let’s just beat Mansfield and continue our push for promotion. COYB!!!!

Yeah, no. That’s not it. Treading over someone like Matt Bloomfield to get to the top. That’s not for me.

Its Wycombe Wanderers, not Matt Bloomfield fc.

He is a club legend and will always be one, but no one is more important than the football club. Some more than others in this case, but life goes on, about time people on this forum do too.

lets get behind this team, owners and new manager and look to the future, not dwell on the past.

I said at the very start of the new ownership that I thought ML's silence and distance would be the perfect opportunity for him to make unpopular decisions and play the bad guy role like getting rid of a "club legend" if that's what they really wanted to do. Therefore, its my conclusion getting rid of Matt wasn't actually a priority.

He was (and is) perfectly fine for the role and did an excellent job. The Board could well have been happy with what he was doing even if he was a square peg in a board the new owners are changing to need only round holes.

I think they understood very well that they were going to make huge changes that not everyone, including the football manager, would like. But with any evolution, you have to adapt or die. Or if you don't want to adapt you have to find a new environment.

Enter stage left: Luton Town Football Club. Matt chose a new environment.

And I repeat, change happens. Doesn't mean anyone is a good guy or a bad guy. Just that change always means change. And not everyone likes or is happy with the change that's put in place. And that's fine.
