New man in town familiar faces out

 It had taken a while but just in time Wycombe Wanderers announced the new Head Coach of us as former Sunderland Caretaker manager on multiple occasions Mike Dodds joins the club.

For me this is like the moment where Ian Wright was asked if he was excited to work under Arsene Wenger “Who.” Who is the new man and what will we expect to see from him.

I am writing this on the 12 of February so I know that he has already has his first match as a Wycombe Wanderers boss in a FA Cup tie away at Preston North End and we bowed out on penalties, but we didn’t get thumped, we didn’t concede, and he only had a couple of days with the lads so surely that means we can only go up,

From listening to the “Hero’s of HP12” on Spotify I learned that Dodds is a Sunderland legend and will be sorely missed at the club-he was so appreciated there a player came out on national television and wished him the best of luck for the future. If a club like Sunderland are doing this and he was only a caretaker, then this must mean something. Former Blues player Luke O’nien came out and said that “he is the best coach he ever played under.” This further proves this means something.

Moving on to some last-minute transfers, Wycombe have sent Alex Hartridge on loan to Exeter, Brandon Hanlan on loan to Stevenage and Matt Butcher on loan to Bristol Rovers. The club hopes them well on their spells. On a permanent basis though David Wheeler, one of our longest serving players and one of the remaining Championship players who played for us has left the club. I for one will miss him and his celebrations but he was always destined to move on, I wish him well for the future.
