Guest here, but I find the forum a very interesting read, especially juxtaposing the sentiment in Manning leaving ("no loyalty in football any more") with the desire to get Des out the door before his feet are under the table. I agree about lack of loyalty, but I think it is generally from both...

Cue Reading fans furiously googling "how to retract death threats".

I am confident you all will. Fans tend to put aside the antagonistic side of football for moments like this, and you seem a good bunch overall.

Wycombe fan here. You will be the only team to ever play at Adam's Park as visitors: https://www.wwfc.com/news/2024/february/14/its-adam-s-park/ Thanks in advance for your support.

I could be wrong, but I think Sheffield Wednesday fans once deliberately started a rumour on their site to see if they could affect the betting markets, and I believe it was so successful that a journalist cited the rumour too.

Always worth remembering that managers odds mean next to nothing until something really obvious happens (like Manning with Bristol) where they have to suspend betting. Odds are always based on how bookies think the money will come in (and trying to entice people to bet), all the more so in a...

For fans, football is tribal, passion, life itself at times. For managers, it is employment. They may love the club that employs them, may thump the badge on their coaching threads with sincerity after a win, may stay a while, and may come back to lifelong applause if they are a legend, but the...

With Manning, I wonder if his MK experience makes him more eager to jump? The flavour of the month as MK finish 3rd (and really played the best football in the division that season) only to belly flop the next season and get sacked (with the not insignificant context of losing Scott Twine plus...

Wycombe fan here. I have been impressed with Manning since he was at MK Dons, and I am not surprised what he is accomplishing with you with a summer under his belt (well, maybe a little surprised - I had you more as a threat for playoffs than autos). I think he is part of a new breed of young...

Wycombe fan here. I genuinely don't get this line of thinking (as far as our PPG behaviour). We were not publicly lobbying at all! We just voted in a way that would benefit us. The "loud" clubs were those who stood to miss out - Peterborough, Tranmere, etc. I think the PPG incident has been...

As a Wycombe fan, totally agreed. We do have the potential to go down with a record points total (though I am not by any means resigned to that!), and not get to enjoy the single Championship season with any crowds. But awful as that sounds on the surface, survival is the bigger issue in the...

You might want to read through the thread, mate! Would happily discuss all the noise about it being unfair that we had not played Coventry away, when, er....you had not played Coventry away. Would happily discuss how home turf is SUCH an advantage, when, er....we still had to play you at home.

Being reported as Ipswich rather than Oxford. So after all the hate towards Wycombe, Oxford, Portsmouth and Fleetwood all voted to curtail the season, but are happy to play in the playoffs. As a Wycombe fan, those U-Turns are funny on a number of levels.

Another Wycombe fan here. I would make the following points: 1. This really is not ideal either way. I would prefer to get promoted, and therefore have a natural bias towards PPG, and I would still celebrate it. But it would not feel like an achievement in a sense, and I would genuinely feel...

Congratulations from a Wycombe fan. You are the best side we have seen in the division (with only Coventry to go), and play some lovely stuff. Losing always hurts, but I have to tip my hat. I think you are reaping the benefits of loyalty to your manager. Best of luck for the rest of the season!

Though absolutely gutted by the outcome Saturday (and it is the latest in an increasingly long line), I wanted to congratulate you on the win. From the times I have seen Oxford this season, I have no idea why you were ever down the bottom end - nice football to watch, and composure on the ball...
