On your last line - probably or maybe is all anyone can say without more evidence. We just don't know how things have been handled , what has been said and done, the respective messages do suggest all was not well though.
Millions of people probably do jobs they aren't 100% enjoying or have poor relationships with their employers or management but have no real ability to leave or do something else and need the cash so they front up each day and smile through it. Others will have minor quibbles about small things they might not even raise.
If Blooms was pissed off already and sought or received what he thought was a great opportunity he clears off immediately. Either way he's been here a long time and there is a downside so he'd consider it carefully, and might have gone regardless. We really have no idea. Ok, some of you do, apparently...
What does seem odd to me is the lack of public messages/comments from the likes of Gareth, Bayo, etc (unless I have missed them) and @glasshalffull. I can understand that perhaps "pressure" may have been exerted on the current players/staff, but the Club would have no influence on the others. Conversely, @glasshalffull has always vigorously defended the Club's owners regarding any controversial decisions but we haven't had any comments whatsoever from him.
It also seems strange to me that Blooms was getting advice from Southgate.
I was surprised and sad to see Matt go. Although I think it's quite clear from the outside noise, I.e. his brothers tweet, Matt's comments regarding "feeling wanted," that he was most likely being pushed for a while.
Feel like we've lost our last identity regarding small wycombe, apart from us fans.. This is all new, cut throat owners and staff above the coach.
Whoever comes in will need to put a run together to win us over, the last remaining identity to the wycombe we know.
I’d hate it if we ‘became a Watford’. I look at how they are run and feel sorry for those supporters whether you like them or not.
No indication that we are moving in that direction but a revolving door of ‘Head coaches’ just loses some of that special connection between fans/club/players that ‘little Wycombe’ have had over the decades.
I'm not surprised AP is giving this place a break.
Him posting would only provoke a lot of people to direct their ire in his direction.
He must have about 17 tag ins alone from you, and while you've clearly got a long standing issue with him you are a pretty decent fair poster in the main. Others aren't as measured as you, so imagine their comments!
Does anyone have an update on the names that are being spoken about / linked with the job? Last I saw, we had Cole, Wilshere or Schumacher it was claimed had discussions with the club. Also Claus Nörgaard is being spoken about (on this forum) as well. Is there anything else that I have missed?
Disclaimer I have no knowledge from any sources and I'm not in the know. The names I've used have been named on this channel
I'm more worried now as some mentioned, that the once busy website does not seem to be updating beyond a bit of housekeeping on tickets and we've not heard from @bluntphil . I hope the Comms team will remain intact.
Sorry I'm confused. Why would anyone be directing anger towards @glasshalffull? He isn't employed by the club right? Or anything to do with the relationship the ownership group had with MB?
I share that worry but I’m keeping fingers crossed that the club are just incredibly busy negotiating, installing and filming / interviewing with new management and possibly the new signing that’s been mentioned
Just thinking out loud and hypothetically too for a moment.
When a return for Ainsworth has been suggested there have been a number of posters who feel we have moved on and so has the football style etc. Myself included.
But plenty of people are now concerned about the club not being the same anymore on an interactive / family level as of this point having lost Blooms among others in recent times.
So my question is, if GA was approached to come back along with Dobbo and his team and they were all fully on board with the setup they would walk into, would you take them back?
Completely hypothetically in this scenario I would, particularly as that final season when things were really coming together I loved watching us play and he did always like creative exciting players when we could afford them and we have lots of them now.
If he was committed to a better style of football, given the improved financial backing the owners could give him, I would be on board with a return of Gaz and Dobbo. Not going to happen of course.
If this is to me then my comment above was in response to @Malone suggesting that glasshalffull could face a load of ire from fans. I don't know everyone's role within the club but I didn't think @glasshalffull was directly employed, hence me being confused why he'd be culpable. Probably a minor point in the grand scheme of things though!
ah I see. Yeah, you're right, he's talking nonsense
For the record, I completely understand why Alan Parry hasn't spoken about this matter and why he would choose to keep his own counsel on it. In his position I think most of us would do the same.
All I note is that previously when he's considered speculation on here to be ill-informed and of no merit he usually challenges them. There have been an awful lot of posts this week discussing an irreconcilable breakdown in the working relationship between Matt Bloomfield and the ownership group, and he has made no comment.
@Last_Quarter just to clarify, I meant the "ire" some have in general over the subject. They might direct it towards GHF who as we know is always very positive about everything. I'm not meaning blaming him per se.
But we've seen it countless times where people get annoyed by his positive takes on scenarios.
Only mercenaries motivated by money will be interested in working under this management structure. Gareth Ainsworth and Richard Dobson have far too much class to be associated with it.
Spookily you are right, with no midweek game I am on a short holiday in sunny (sorry) Spain. I have caught up with the comments and found the majority to be sensible and measured. I don’t believe in speaking about the MB scenario since I don’t know all the facts. I have known MB for his entire tenure as player and manager and have the greatest respect for him as a man and as a professional in the crazy world of football. I wish him well and I am sorry that some people (not many) have cast aspersions in his direction. Regarding the new ownership regime, they have their own ideas and plans as to how the club should move forward and they have literally put their money where their mouth is for which I think we should all be grateful. Football and WWFC in particular is changing and some people are understandably uncomfortable and nervous about change and I get that. I will always support the club’s owners because without them we wouldn’t have a club to support and that would leave a big hole in our lives. In my time involved with this club the only two issues with which I have publicly disagreed are the re-naming of the stadium and the change from the famous quarters because Alan Smith wanted to. Privately, there have been many other issues but they will remain private, at least until I write my autobiography!

southgates role is technical advsor for uefa, so no more than a meeting of minds you would imagine.

We have a problem Dan
Don’t worry Mikheil, I’ll fire him.
It doesn't take a genius to work out why he hasn't posted on this subject
The sounding outs would have been through agents then move on from there
Is he ITK?
Thank you. From my side our "long standing issue" has been resolved.
@Otter87 Keith Scott is missing from that list.

Do you know what, fuck it. I want Gaz and Dobbo back.
If he was committed to a better style of football, given the improved financial backing the owners could give him, I would be on board with a return of Gaz and Dobbo. Not going to happen of course.
Who's directing anger towards him?
And the end of his need to leave.

He might just be on holiday of course

@Maloneglas Thanks - that makes much more sense now. Hopefully we see @glasshalffull back here soon.

Here we go…
Luckily for us, football is full of mercenaries. We're going up!!!
We are all prostitutes
