At the end of the day during his playing career he will always be a legend of the club for his long time spent here, league cup run and lifting the league 1 play offs. His ability is irrelevant as he was a big part of our modern history, particularly during the days we had no money at all. Every player is ‘limited’ to some degree.
In his management career he made it pretty obvious in his first Luton interview that he didn’t feel ‘wanted’ by our hierarchy and in his first Oxford interview he said he considers very carefully who he chooses to ‘work for’.
Ultimately it’s very sad it came to this, and I don’t blame him for taking any job whether it be Slough, Oxford or AC Milan if he wants to forge a successful management career.
I think it’s ok to move on, wish him the best, yet hope the PNL find themselves in the National League soon.
As far as this season’s concerned your two propositions are surely mutually exclusive.
I’m never quite sure what that means but it sounds posh. What I mean is that another relegation this season is hardly going to enhance Matt Bloomfield’s reputation.
I hope he keeps them up…just…to enhance his reputation and then the big club sacks him to get a big name in.
As for Blooms,I still find it sometime quite alarming the personal vitriol people can direct about (mostly) inconsequential things to get themselves excited on social media.
Exactly this. Matt might never have had the flair of, say, Dave Carroll, but he gave absolutely everything, every time. Remember he had to be substituted at half time in the play off final because he’d run himself into the ground so much he was throwing up? That passion and commitment is as vital as any innate skill.
A wonderful servant to Wycombe. I do worry he’s setting himself up for a fall now though. Oxford are minnows in the Championship but a sizeable chunk of their fanbase don’t see it that way.
Magnus’s dad put a four page statement on Facebook about what he saw as the mishandling of his son’s participation (or, rather, lack thereof), in matches, the shortcomings of the Wycombe support, especially the reluctance to espouse TIFOs and the total absence of chants for individual players, the negativity on SOME (social media apparently) and so on.
As the gentleman’s name is Stig, I thought I’d do a play on it with stigmatism.
I was googling lyrical reasoning to see if this was a “real” use of the word that I’d never realised before.
Like the time I saw a Polish woman use the word “malignant” on a post on facebook, get ticked off by “proper english” people, only for her use of the word (meaning evil in nature) to be perfectly correct - not just the medical term others think of it as.
I also chuckled at one point Stiggo made talking about the “abusive” nature of fans….and some clown on this forum’s response was “eff off”.
Would have been a clever cuteness if it was intentional, but no, it was moronic (get away with using that phrase while Chris is having his afternoon snooze) abuse - proving his point!
