Totally deserved. Well done Matt.
Excellent! Well done Blooms, and to the voters who did not get stars in their eyes over Portsmouth, Derby and Oxford.
Another very niche stat, but in the very small club of individuals who have played for and managed Wycombe in the league era, Blooms is hot on the trail of GA:
Gareth Ainsworth: 118 played + 550 managed = 668 total
Matt Bloomfield: 558 played + 73 managed = 631 total
If Blooms stays at the helm through next season as expected, he will pass GA.
Would JJ be third
400 + 0.
Pity his 44 minutes of interim did not qualify him for 400 + 1!
Someone mentioned JJ is actually doing his badges, which is a shock to me - I thought he was going into finance. Future Wycombe manager after Blooms?
If he's willing to wait TWENTY YEARS
That thought crossed my mind too. I’m sure he’d be excellent but I suspect he has probably set his heart on a career in accountancy.
Is there an opening at Wycombe for a CFO?
JJ could wind up HMRC with niggly accounts alterations and fake a mini financial crisis ten minutes before the tax filing deadline, all with a smile on his face.
Accountancy sounds so incredibly dull after being a pro footballer. Each to their own though I suppose.
Could combine the two by becoming a part time non league manager alongside an accountancy job.
Sounds a more likely path for someone as active as JJ.
I spoke to him at his testimonial and asked what he'd be doing next season. He mentioned the possibility of sticking around "behind the scenes" so I don't think this is as far fetched as you may imagine
That would be incredibly good news!
better than becoming a Sunday league level accountant
