It could have just been the writer putting his own judgement on the "he'd be interested, Wycombe won't stop him" thing.
But because he's not said so, he's left it open, leading to conspiracies that our club have actually stated that, or that Bloomy/agent have leaked this, or that the new club have leaked it.
Very naughty stuff.
This is the sort of nonsense we'll have to get used to as we move up the chain.
Ah, I explained my mirth incorrectly. My point is that Potter is way out of the league of these same Champo supporters who claim Blooms is out of theirs. It's like a single lad turning down an attractive lady because he is "out of her league" and he is holding out for Sydney Sweeney.
Do you think Jack Price (author) has made that article up? Who do you think the source is regarding a £100,000 release clause?
Do you think Pete O'Rourke (author) made up the article about Scott Mitchell's sacking?
Do you think the tweets from Danny Bloomfield and the shouty Ice Cream man™ are just random?
There is clearly information being drip-feed into the media (both conventional and social) which when collated does not feel coincidental. It raises questions about the ongoing relationship between Chief Football Officer Dan Rice and Men's First-Team manager Matt Bloomfield.
As one of the 93%, I am well aware of Ms Sweeney. I am also well aware that it is doubtful we will ever be photographed strolling down the front at Cannes or sharing a laugh at a table outside our favourite Californian eatery.
I think the tweet from Mr Howard was random and one from someone bitter that he no longer has a role at the club. I don’t believe this was based on any info drip fed to him.
If Dan Rice came out and said 'I think Matt is a great manager, we work closely and very well together and I know he is the man to take the club forward...' would someone shout 'Rubbish! Do the research!!!'
From a Luton POV - surely they'd be looking to do an Oxford and bring in a Manager with Championship experience to fight the drop? MB would be a very risky appointment from their POV...
That's interesting, it would have been a massive coup. Dyche had been very unfairly sacked from Watford the previous season and left with his stock still high. He would have been forgiven for sitting back and waiting for a plum job to become available in the Championship (which he eventually did at Burnley not long after Ainsworth became player-caretaker manager).
Feels like a huge PR gamble for Dan Rice, the fans are only going to take one side in any sort of dispute between the two.
That might not bother him in the slightest of course. The establishment of an academy, which is clearly his main priority, is more or less immune to what Wycombe fans think of what's going on with the first team.
I just feel very sad that we find ourselves in an almost unique situation and are about to throw it away. A much loved legend from his playing days - to the extent that he's literally known as "Mr Wycombe" - becomes the manager of that club and turns out to be very very good at that as well. And new owners have their own ideas of how they want to run the club (which they have every right to do of course) and those plans don't include the current manager (if they did he'd have been given a contract extension months ago)
Of course it needn't be disastrous for them. Football fans are very fickle, and if they bring in their own man and they elevate the team yet further then fans will soon fall into line. If it goes the other way it could get quite bad quite quickly.
Does the fact that Matt has been linked with every vacancy by the bookies (and a few Gasroomers) not have any effect on Dan Rice's statistical analysis into his long-term suitability moving forwards?

Yep, that article was naughtily worded.

Ah I understand, fair does.
And I will not give up holding our for Sydney! Not that I'm in the habit of turning down attractive ladies.
But that's probably enough of that sort of chat before the forum usuals try and instigate a pile on like they did with Dev that time.
Honestly I found Sydney something of a disappointment. Not worth the wait in hindsight…….
Sydney SweeneyJakki DeggNever thought Sydney Sweeney would get an airing on the Gasroom
Agreed. Mostly because it's basic gasroom knowledge that 93% of posters are over 50
Compared to Graham Potter, no less! Oh wait, that was me.
Eh, it's Friday - anything goes
They probably think Sydney Sweeney is an Oz version of the Met Police Flying Squad.
I would say some really old bloke would make a gag about the place, but that happened within seconds.
I'm 46 - I come on here to feel young!
Wow, you're old enough to be my slightly older brother!

(Because it has probably burnt down)
What's the latest from Danny Blooms?
Sadly, not clever or mature enough. Just old enough.
The only way my favourite, Stevie Smith, will get a mention on here is if I do it myself.
To steal from Stewart Lee, she's the crumpet man's thinker.

Oof - what's that in response to?
When Bloomfield leaves for Luton
It will be far too cold tonight to see if he's openly weeping at fulltime

I think so too, but you'd imagine it would be a tempting one for him if offered.
’The data model shows he is a good manager’
