Delighted our @FourFourTwo predictions have been such a strong motivational tool for what Wycombe & Gaz Ainsworth have achieved 🤣

It’s a terrible prediction - clearly. I think it’s good to add a touch of context, which I will do below 👇 https://twitter.com/gregorroberts0n/status/1278980661198696448
We submitted the 1-24 predictions to FFT for a June 25th deadline.

#WWFC had not announced its US investment & without it, it was known amongst EFL #circles that they would have to cut their (already small for L1) playing budget by around 30%.

They’d survived by 3pts 18/19.
No players had signed, some had left.

There were 10-12 players on the books at that time. Gape & Charles hadn’t re-signed yet.

Then, the guardian angel arrived.

ÂŁÂŁ from Rob Couhig brought the playing budget back up - 5 months *before* he became owner, to prove his commitment.
What GA did with that ÂŁÂŁ and this team is unbelievable!

Maybe we’d have had them #DownThere had we done it on Aug 1st - who knows?

But it does make me smile that this has been used as an effective motivational tool! Half of the players weren’t even there when it was made 🤣
