I read an article earlier saying they are losing £600k a week so its highly possible

Is that Mark Robins , "out of the frying pan into the fire"

If that's true it will serve them right but if it happens it probably will be applied next season.

They're spending all their money they made from being in the Premier League on a new Stadium.

Edwards is just helping them out. Plus he'll probably getting a new job, sooner or later.

If they didn’t have the money they should sell a player to raise it they are not above that, you never know when you are going to work again so take the money.

Sunderland have agreed a deal for Le Fee. Loan and £20m if they get promoted. Unreal signing.

An owner with ambition, unfortunately we don’t have one

Pay peanuts you get league one monkeys

They've made some cracking signings without breaking the bank though. Bellingham was £2m, Browne on a free, Isidor on loan, Cirkin for £1m. Yes they've been lucky with having multiple academy products become starters but still.

Good one Dean Austin and Doug bling, it’s an utter embarrassment

 

[Shannerz]

Yes they've been lucky with having multiple academy products become starters but still.

Is that luck?

Good coaching and investment in infrastructure, surely.

Yes they’re a Cat 1 academy so have to have great facilities and spend a minimum of £2.5m a year on it.

 

[San Francisco]

Not sure what happened to our academy. We had some cracking players come out while we were in L1 like Wilson, Madders, etc.

They would’ve joined the academy when we were still a championship team and at a time where EPPP didn’t exist - which made it harder for other teams to poach talent.

Now the players coming through would’ve joined the academy when we were in L1/L2 and our top prospects are getting poached. We lost an England U16 defender to Man City and our best midfielder to Wolves this summer alone.

£30m a year? No way

Matt Bloomfield set to take over at Luton.... Will be interesting to see how he gets on after we were linked with him

Crazy move for him, they must be paying him a lot of money.

Why is it crazy?

 

[wingy]

Why is it crazy?

Probably don't have to move, close regionally, excellent choice to test himself, expectation will be the on the floor ,bad news for Wycombe fan's until the next one comes along.

Should have gone to a bigger Club.

Luton on the way down, Wycombe on the way up.

Luton ain’t going down

Wycombe are minnows compared to Luton.

 

[David O'Day]

Be interesting watching Luton trying to play the football Bloomfield wants his teams to play.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Impressive introduction from Plymouth new manager.....

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

We need to make sure we string a few results together as teams around us are all changing their managers as well.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

We need more points on the board before we start getting pulled in to a relegation scrap

I can see Millwall faltering, as the season progresses.

 

[PVA]

Bloomfield confirmed at Luton.

Could be a decent appointment, interested to see how he gets on

 

[TomRad85]

I remember Wycombe fans saying it would be a step back if he came here, now he's gone to Luton Might actually take a look at their forum for a laugh.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If you're a glass half empty person, regarding relegation, 2 nice results for us tonight. PUSB!

Isn’t this a pretty common theme, pretty sure this has also happened previously.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Nice 3-0 Pompey defeat tonight (still looking over my shoulder at the wrong end of the table)

 

[Londonccfcfan]
