Like most others, I am embarrassed and angry that the board has let go one of our best-ever managers. To treat him like this suggests poor judgement on their part and a great lack of integrity and compassion.
Even if they had their doubts, given what the man achieved this last seasonm, they could at least have let him start next year, and give him the chance to prove what he coud do - not that he has anything to prove.
I wish him every success at Northampton.

One stupid decision (to sell Tyson - are the board happy with the money that cost us promotion?)followed by a difficult one.
The decision re JG must have been tough, but that in no way excuses the way it was handled.
There are no guaranteed winning successors out there - unless the chairman has a direct line to Mo'N
Let's hope he gets lucky, eh?

As a season ticket holders we have,like many others,an interest in what happens at Wycombe .This is has been handled by a board who have the management skills of Attilla the Hun.John was happy to come back so he should have done so.This year we had a new management set up with Keith Ryan and Steve Brown and just missing out on the play offs tells me the future was very bright,or it was until John Gorman was sacked.Any chance of a statement from the board giving us mere mortals an indication of the reasoning behind this astonishing idea that John Gorman was not good for the club.I do not think so!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess the Club think they are doing the right thing. The least they could have done was to invite John into the director's box at Cheltenham. It would have given him a boost, made him feel 'wanted', and also it would have given the players and fans alike a boost.
The Club should be ashamed in treating such a genuine person as John, in such a way. I spoke to John a couple of weeks ago and he was devasted that he could not be involved in any way. The Club will rue the day that he was 'released'. He was a breath of fresh air at Wycombe. Another club will benefit from this ill-conceived action.
I, along with all the fans, and the staff at Wycombe Wanderers wish John all the very best for the future.

My thoughts on this are quite simple, The Board made a decision, Personally I think it was The wrong one but no matter what all the supporters thoughts are the decision has been made and No U-turn should even be considered like some fans are suggesting. That would make even more of a mockery of our Club and Board. Whether right or wrong, only Time will tell, If a new manager wins us promotion next season all the drones will be congratulating Steve Hayes and the board for a master stroke, If not then There will be all hell braking loose but one things for sure Now is not the time to decide if it is a right or wrong choice.

i go to evry home game and most away, when im at those games i can see what gorman has done for us. hes got some great players, tommy mooney, robert lee, sergio torres etc. and with these new players we played football way above our leage. i dont know why they sacked him, he says that he is ready to come back let him and let him prove himself. hes the greatest manager whe have had since martin o'neil, thats saying something.
John Goodman
Wycombe have made a great mistake in releasing John Gorman. they won't get anyone better than him, for sure.
david
sacking john is a big mistake, hes brought great players to the club like mooney, lee, sergio etc, and the players are playing the best football i have ever seen, thats why we had 21 games unbeaton.
John Meyrick
Totally agree.
Next manager must be someone who understands the rough & tumble of the lower leagues. Glen Hoddle @ Wolves achieved almost as many draws and low goal scoring as his clone Gorman.
In Div 2 you don't try and walk the ball into the net. And you build from the back.
Especially in the winter on a pitch used for Rugby too.
Every game i have been to I have felt that if the othr team left the pitch and Wycombe had it to themselves they still would not score.
Next manager? Martin O'Neil. Local. Does not need the money.Part time? Full time? Can still be familly close.

I feel that John Gorman was and still is the perfect manager for WWFC. As a season ticket holder I feel that JG was unfairly relieved of his duties and he knows by his own feelings when he is ready for his return. My family have not renewed their season tickets and at this time feel that they will not do so. JG has been treated poorly by the management at WWFC due to his unfortunate circumstances and as a supporter of WWFC feel very let down that you could even think about dismissing this man of his duties......

This decision shows there is
no sentiment in football.
John has made the team play the best football I have ever seen from a Wycombe team, and in my opinion were just unlucky not to win League 2.
We were by far the best team
with the best manager. We made the mistake first time around choosing Tony Adams, over John Gorman, when he had the team playing great football in his care-taker role.
NB. The teams promoted from League 2 all played controlled football, something John always encouraged his team to play.
peter belcher
How sorry to hear that John Gorman is going.I feel sure that if he had been allowed
to stay he would have come back stronger. A ggod manager has gone I only hope the club don't regret the decision to release him.
Good luck John for the future
Ben Fletcher
Its unbelievable what the wycombe board has been up to in the last couple of years! Letting Adams do what he wanted at the club and letting him to critice the club however he liked, yet it took the board ages to let him go.
And now 'sacking' Gorman when he has proven himself TWICE at the club he admires and loves is absolutley disgracefull!
Sack the board!
lee
i cant belive beeks has let him go he is the best manager wycombe have had for a long time you will be sadly missed john good luck with your next club
Luke and Mark Bird
We feel it is absolutely disgraceful the way the club have treated this situation. Only John knows himself how he is feeling and no one else can tell him how he is feeling emotionally. The interview summed it up, John was ready and raring to go but to us it seemed like there was an underlying motive in there in relieving him of his duties. We are both angry at this decision as we feel that John is the right man for this tough job at Wycombe Wanderers who seemed to love his job at the club. We wish him well with whatever he does but are sad to see him go.

there are many wycombe fans who are very angry about this and would like to try and get John gorman reinstated. Heard his interview and is clearly stunned and upset about this decision.
Please john Gorman if you see or read this could you give us a bit of time to fight for you to be reinstated. it clearly is a mistake and you are worth fighting for.
After all it wasn't a bad season we are still in the league. I thought Managers lost their job if they were in relegation. Look what happened to Bristol city when they got rid of Danny Wilson
Goodness knows how many times did Leeds not win the old first division championship in the 60/70's. Leeds never sacked Don Revie!
