BTY sorry Beechrdswan see you started thread earlier with a club X video for Alex - came off X a while ago on day Wycombe launched on Bluesky, but we are not edgy enough on bsk to get the video yet 😂

If suggestions are accurate about Dan Rice not getting on with MB or vice versa as rumoured, MB not getting on with players as rumoured, MB being mercenary (he walked away from Col U after all) and massively ambitious, a small buyout fee, and the club allowing him to talk to three clubs as rumoured, surely statistically there was a good data driven chance MB would walk which though it's a business and there's no room for sentimentality must undermine the idea Dan Rice is on the ball? Either he knew and had contingency plans or it was a bolt out of the blue no-one saw coming. If it was the latter, as hes in the middle of buying players for a manager he did not get on with or expect to leave, it's not that reassuring surely?

Russell Martin is very good friends with Matt Bloomfield

If oxford v Luton represents the standard of defending in the middle of the Championship we'll be just fine.

i think he’s probably taking his time because we have a great caretaker and a motivated squad. But maybe we should abandon the idea he had someone ready to go once Matt left.

And as CFO he’d be in charge of signing and selling no matter who the manager was.

I do like this kind of signing. Clearly talented, but for whatever reason (personal in this case?) hasn’t done it. The right environment and we have a winner.

Either 28 or 40 something!

Of course, it's never going to be perfect. I just don't see why an increased budget means we have to abandon principles that have worked so well for over 10 years. Anyway my previous comment wasn't aimed at Lowry, I don't anything about the kid, I'm sure he'll latch on to the Wycombe way.

Gaz and Dobbo didn't always get the character test 100% right though. Alex Jakubiak, Jason Banton, and Josh Parker all spring to mind

It limited us in a good way, and I will be disappointed if this "less selective" approach is going to be a regular thing.

I suppose senior pros like Bradley aren't allowed to pin a young player acting up against a wall anymore....
