Royal_jimmy I actually wouldn't blame the players if they threw in the towel and performances drop off tbh. For them, why would any of them be motivated to give 100% with everything that's going on

6ft Kerplunk I would expect player's to still put in a big effort. They've got the rest of the season to try and get themselves a contract at a new club if the worst does happen to us.

Exactly funny how this has happened to swiftly but cant sell the club
It's sort of obvious though. A club comes with loads of outgoings, stadium rent, staff costs, players wages. A training ground facility doesnt come with those things. Much easier to sell because a lot less due diligence needed.
Crikey it takes 3 months to sell a house, how could this be done quickly

There won’t be any football to discuss which is the main problem here

It takes three months to sell a house because you are dealing with cheap lawyers, and you can't afford to take any risks whatsoever, and you need a lot of documents from the council to satisfy your mortgage lender that the house is safe.
If you are a billionaire and you are buying a training ground in cash built less than 5 years ago you can buy something as quickly as it takes a contract to be written up.

This could have been going on for weeks or months behind the scenes

Ten Bobsworth I know nowt about Bearwood but Bolton got £2.2m for the fire sale of its 'state of the art' training facility in Chorley. Bearwood might be worth a bit more but I can't see why Wycombe would pay silly money?

Greatwesternline One thing that is puzzling me is, whoever it is that is fronting up the money for this training ground purchase, why don't they want to buy RFC plus training ground instead?
Mention of some Georgian billionaire. Ok, if this person wants a training ground for £22m, why don't they want a training ground plus a club big enough to make use of it as well, for £35m.
If you have £20m for a few buildings and football pitches, you have the money for the other bits. What gives?
It is a lot more work and money to develop Wycombe into a club that needs a £20m academy, when you can pick up the ready meal variety in Reading instead.
The way it is going, you'll have a small club in a small town and small stadium and small fan base with a massive training facility, and down the road you'll have a big stadium big fan base but no club. It's a completely daft turn of events. And the money men would quickly work out that a big training ground makes a lot more sense to go with a big stadium and fan base.
If you want a big training ground, you would want the big fan base and stadium to go with it, not a pokey stadium with little chance to fill a bigger one.

blueroyals For those saying protests don't work, I'm fairly certain if we got every game abandoned from now until the end of the season, bringing the entire competition into disrepute, things would start to move very quickly

Yes, we would very quickly be ejected from the Football League.
