Warren seemed a little lacking in ideas - basically, find a place to stay and roll around Denver all day. I have the first one covered, but too many commitments for the second!
Maybe Rice values keeping the culture as tight as possible over the next few months whilst we have strong momentum. I would be very surprised, but I wouldn’t rule out Grace until the end of the season. I had heard it was almost a done deal for Claus Norgaard but that’s evidently not proving to be true.
Not sure I want a new manager with the names that are being touted.
Would be happy for Grace and Vokes to see us through the season and keep the style the same. Start fresh in pre season whichever league that may be in.
When you say it like that @Malone , I can’t believe this is our little Wycombe doing all these massive deals. Amazing really as I don’t think any of us would have thought a billionaire would have bought our Wycombe from Rob C.
One other thing is, I hope our new manager can integrate all these new players into the team in order to keep us in the race.
This is not meant as any disrespect to Sam Grace at all but I still recall the promotion of Neil Smillie from successful youth team manager to first team manager. We lost a good youth team manager and gained a very average first team manager.
I am just hopeful the next guy isn't one from the managerial merry go round.
‘No disrespect to….’ must be the most insincere phrase in the English vocabulary because you know it will be followed by a disrespectful comment. In this case disrespectful and ridiculous.
Audacious as it would be, we've got to be pulling all the stops out to get Russell Martin. Hardly unheard of for a sacked Prem manager to drop to this level for their next job.
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?
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.

Perhaps we will never know.

I'd still vote Oscar Hiljemark, though he is also basically a placeholder for "promising up-and-coming European manager".
If we are going to be different, let's be very different!
Full disclosure, my knowledge of Oscar amounts to what is in this article:
Steven Schumacher features: 3 Matt Bloomfield replacements for Wycombe Wanderers
Jakob Poulsen
Danish manager- useful for the new club direction
Played for Monaco-hipster points
Played in Australia-probably has good English
41- part of the youth clique
Bloomfield haircut-continuity
Schumacher is the stand out candidate i think, but he may not be interested.
Leam Richardson was the focal point of my Football Manager save that established Accrington in the Championship. That may not be relevant.
But John Denver never included "Denver" in his lyrics (Plenty of Colorado).
Name: Denver
Born: New Mexico
Grew up in mostly: Arizona
Sings about: West Virginia
😂
"Get Out Of Denver" by Bob Seger is a rock standard, covered by countless bands. Some complicated lyrics to sing at speed.

I would be very surprised, but I wouldn’t rule out Grace until the end of the season. I had heard it was almost a done deal for Claus Norgaard but that’s evidently not proving to be true.
Based on nothing at all, I'm still fairly confident the Claus Norgaard links were just made up.
It could definitely be a simple case of 2 + 2 = 5 based on us signing two Danes and wanting to emulate Brentford.

Can see Bolton sacking Evatt and going for Schumacher.
If we want him, get it done now!
good point , this would be disaster

Why would Schumacher go to Bolton? They’re a total mess. It’s a dreadful ‘project’ on paper.

Big club, a chance to build something and local to here (just over half an hour away).
Audacious as it would be, we've got to be pulling all the stops out to get Russell Martin. Hardly unheard of for a sacked Prem manager to drop to this level for their next job.
In fact, didn't his two Southampton predecessors do exactly that?

I guess that's two people that would turn their noses up if we appointed Russ, then. Each to their own.
Russell Martin is very good friends with Matt Bloomfield
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.
And for that reason there is zero chance of him coming.
Exactly
4?! I guess we'll have to get Klopp.
