As one chapter ends, an exciting new one begins for Wycombe Wanderers. Gareth Ainsworth leaves Adams Park after a record-breaking, history-making decade in charge. We're delighted to announce that Matt Bloomfield has agreed in principle to become our new manager!
Always thought he would one day become Wycombe manager. Not that soon though. It had to be him or MON. No-one else could survive after Gareth
It is an opening for JJ & Mawson maybe. That was my thought Ron come in after Ainsworth you are going to the days after O'Neill left
Glad it’s not MON as I would hate him to sour his reputation if things didn’t work out. However would be a great assistant or consultant to Blooms.
Richard Thomas is Matty's assistant & Lee Harrison is back for his third spell as goalkeeping coach. Our other goalkeeping coach has left the club after four games.
You'll be ok Ron. Your club is in a different place to when he arrived and it won't all collapse now he has left. It's a pity about the timing though.
What is so surprising is how quick it all happens in football any other job you have to hand in at least a week's notice or more likely these days a month.
One can't help thinking the two moves were interlinked and preparation in place, before we knew anything about it, to ensure we weren't left without a manager; with Blooms negotiation running in parallel with Gareth's
Apparently Rob Couhig called Col U as soon as Gaz announced he was leaving for permission to talk to Blooms and they agreed to it.
