WADDOCK: 'I LIKE TO ATTACK'
Posted on: Wed 14 Oct 2009
New Blues boss Gary Waddock has spoken exclusively to wwfc.com about his decision to leave Aldershot and replace Peter Taylor at Adams Park.
"It all happened very quickly after I got a 'phone call over the weekend" he told us today. "Wycombe asked Aldershot for permission to speak to me about the vacancy and it didn't take me long to agree terms. I'm delighted that my assistant Martin Kuhl agreed to join me at Adams Park."
He went on: "I know quite a lot about the set up at Wycombe. I've played there a couple of times for Luton and Bristol Rovers and I know that the club has great facilities and a very ambitious outlook.
"Wycombe also have a reputation for appointing managers who bring success to the club and I hope that I can follow in their footsteps. I thought Peter Taylor did a great job here last season because I know how difficult it is to get out of League Two."
And the new man promises Wanderers fans that entertainment is high on his list of priorities: "I like my teams to play the passing game and I like them to attack. Hopefully that will bring success because we must always remember that this is a results-based business.
"I would appeal to our fans to be patient - we'll try to hit the ground running, but it won't happen overnight and we need a period of time to settle in and get our ideas across to the players."
The new boss hasn't wasted any time finding out about the players he's inherited. He was at last night's reserve game against Luton Town - which featured the return from injury of Tommy Doherty - and took his first training session after meeting the players this morning.
He'll meet the rest of the Wanderers staff at Adams Park later today and if you're a subscriber to Chairboys Player you can watch Gary's first interview on camera.
Gary will also be writing exclusively in Saturday's edition of Quarters, our official match day programme.
