Help The Aged

The news that Neil Lennon has signed for Wycombe Wanderers has sent shudders around the Meat Clinic, as recent cries for the Chairboys to try and control their uncontrollable debt seem to have fallen on deaf ears. The Managing Director may claim that no player earns more than a tenner a week (and an all you can eat buffet in the Vere Suite) but it seems that Wycombe’s midfield wage bill is now a larger fiscal burden than the British Government’s overseas aid package, and with little of the grainy kudos.

Signing Lennon is a strange move considering that the club already has 2,000 central midfielders, many of them in the “ageing, experienced, plodding” variety. Perhaps the rumours that Matt Bloomfield and/or Sergio Torres have already signed for other clubs are true, but Lennon at Wycombe just doesn’t feel right. He looked off the pace in Dave Carroll’s testimonial, he’s gonna get outrun by the ballboy manageress.

Braver Wycombe fans sometimes say that the team will walk their way to the title. With Gary Holt and Lennon in the centre of the park, that could literally come true.
