Interminable rain outside, and Wycombe shifts uneasily under its sodden valley floor; a day after Wycombe Wanderers’ 125th anniversary, it’s time yet again to contemplate another new face for the club. It has come as no huge surprise that Gary Waddock, manager of the club since 2009, has been sacked. Following relegation in May, we’ve had a limp start to the 2012-13 season, with only four points gleaned from a possible 21, and after Saturday’s grim 1-0 defeat against AFC Wimbledon, the ‘Wadfather’ has been relieved of duties. It’s fair enough: he took us down, and up, and down again, and though we’ve been…

Once were Wycombe Managers
With the Jetstream in alteration, it seems fitting to welcome back the colourful prose of Kerry Andrew - composer and curator of the Fever Bitch blog. Here, Kerry looks back at the household names that have occupied the Chairboys’ chair.

Two trailblazing club websites, Viva Rovers and Boy from Brazil called it a day and the circumstances behind these closures made a significant impact, provoking a serious amount of existential, ‘why do we do this?’ mutterings. Then, just a fortnight ago, Ben Mayhew decided to discontinue his Greenwich Gull site although he will remain active via his Experimental 361 persona. Thankfully, some terrific sites remain. Our own John McGee did a sterling job with his relaunch of Carlisle United soapbox, Bring Me the Head of Keith Mincher and last year’s winner FC Boro happily…
Unexpected Rivalries 1: Wycombe, Slough and Colchester
Three years ago, this site was established on the premise that its founders were as interested, in an impartial way, in the goings on at on all Football League clubs rather than just their own. Yet without club rivalries, both longstanding and flash in the pan, football would undoutedly be poorer. Many of these can be tawdry affairs for those unattached to either team, however.

Wycombe fan Kerry Andrew is first up….
