    • Mr Anom, dont see why you feel your son — Anonymous, Thu Jun 28 21:46
      has wasted a year. Surely he's been given quality coaching for a year and will have benefited from that. The centre has been closed, which is a sad day, but for very sound reasons to help avoid... more

      Just received the news as well. Absolutely gutted. Will have to tell my son, who has played for the club for 4 years and been a season ticket holder for 10 years, that the C of E is no more again. We ... more
      • Re: Centre of Excellence — Anonymous, Thu Jun 28 16:23
        There will always be financial exposure to the club. Your point makes it quite - everything but £120k funding in place - so the club signs up for the Academy and the funding falls through, who would... more

        Wycombe trust to blame for this.Think they want all the money from any fund raising to go to them instead of c.o.e. Horrible way to treat kids and coaches. if the trust runs wwfc like this then this... more

            Im afraid might go the other way no c.o.e no wwfc. there are no funds to buy players for the first team and they have just got rid of there youth dept. how many players from the c.o.e have gone on to ... more

              This is a large part of the problem - in the past such investment could be offset by transfer sales of players such as Harris and Ibe. With EPPP this revenue stream has been cut. Admittedly basing my ... more

                  because of the megalomaniacal, unchecked, free spending years of Steve Hayes, is not news.

                        The trust has taken it upon itself to attempt to takeover the club. Well fair play. However to be a supporters trust in more than just name you really need the supporters on board. I respect in a... more

                          is a little different. I have no idea whether the trust volunteered to takeover the club or felt they had little choice with no other alternatives. I would suggest judge the new regime after it has... more

                            The facts are that the Trust said that the decision is based purely on a financial basis. The Youth presented them with a viable option with a self funding option which was approved by the Football... more

                          They have 500 paying members. They have given the Board a mandate to protect the interests of the club. That is what they are currently doing. Let them do it. How many support your view? Rather fewer ... more

      Surely sitting on his arse doing nothing would be a wasted year. A year with some of the best coaches at lower age groups is surely better than nothing?
