Delighted for them and Gareth Ainsworth. They deserved it. |  |

Phenomenal. Very happy for them and Ainsworth he’s always been top drawer.
Things like that today make it feel like anything is possible for our own club. Credit to Ainsworth as well for saying he didn’t have quite the smallest budget! 👌🻠|  | | |

Have they splashed the cash since the Americans got involved? |  |

From what I've read Rob Couhig put in £2.2M immediately last Summer to cover debts, will fund a new 15-year lease on Adams Park at £150,000 a year and made a further £1M available. | |

No they haven’t really. They went a bit mad with Rolando Aaron’s etc but they’re definitely not the biggest spenders.
My point was the guy interviewing Ainsworth said they had the lowest budget but Ainsworth corrected him and said that was either Accrington or Rochdale ðŸ‘🻠| | | |

Very happy for them. A similar sized club to us, small fanbase and similar sized ground.
It just goes to show that moneybags Peterborough et al, with their "throw enough money at it and it will succeed, isn't the only way to go about things.
Ainsworth has always come across as a decent chap, despite some dubious tactics from his team. For the record, I thought Wycombe were very good value when they beat us at the COA in what was certainly no fluke result. | | | |

Just goes to show 'small' clubs can do it good luck to them in the championship.
It took 6 seasons before Ainsworth got them out of League 2 and then only 2 attempts to get them in the Championship. Be good if other clubs fans and BOD's see the value of patience and keeping the faith in a manager. | |

Congratulations Wycombe...
Hope i get to see Akinfenwa in the Championship! is he still with them next season?. | | | |

It's great for Wycombe and they have shown, along with Yeovil a few years ago, that it is possible to get to the Championship on a smaller budget than almost all your competitors.
I hope we see Akinfenwa in the Championship. He doesn't look like a footballer but the guy does his job!
Selfishly I would have prefered Oxford to go up because we always seem to get battered by them. At least their 'bright young manager' will get another crack at it with plently of money to spend. |  | | |

We more than matched them at Adams Park last year, despite going down to a very late penalty [soft concede]. | | | |

I've got mixed views on this.
I'm pleased for Gareth Ainsworth and agree that they looked a really good outfit at Spotland on the Saturday after the game at Old Trafford.
However...they were plunging down the table like a stone from February onwards and only PPG got them in the top six.
They've taken the chance given to them and if it pees off Peterborough that can only be a bonus. | | | |

They won 3 of their last 5 league games, a feat only bettered by champions Coventry and Oxford. I think they deserve their promotion and as you say if Darragh McAnthony is suitably aggrieved, that's the icing on the cake.
Maybe he has another £4 million to throw at his vanity project. We'll see. | |

I don't understand the beef with MacAnthony beyond him being p!ssed off L1 clubs voted to end the season. He got grief on various social media platforms before COVID-19.
He's putting his own money into a club on a regular basis. He actually engages with fans on Twitter. Surely that should be praised? | | | |

Whether they did splash the cash or not in the transfer market, surely having wealthy investors meant not having to sell their best players', they could really concentrate on the league because Cup runs were not the difference between breaking even or making a loss. | |

Something tells me his 'engagement' on Twitter is more to further his own ego than it is to actually communicate. That said, I feel the same about Andy Holt at Accrington but he seems to have quite a good reputation amongst fans.
I've not been keen on MacAnthony since I paid £27 to sit on a piss-stained wooden bench that was surely the oldest remaining furniture in the city of Peterborough. Funnily enough he never engaged with my tweet asking him about that. |  |

You didn't happen to buy any furniture in one of his properties, did you? |  |

Andy Holt seems to have quietened down considerably in the last couple of months.
Especially on Twitter where he was very vocal on lockdown and finishing the season early. | | | |

Someone on one of those mongy Facebook groups has been going on for ages that the club don’t spend any money on the squad and is now praising Wycombe and saying that all you need is hard work and all that shite.
Brilliant. |  | | |

I am really interested the way football is nowadays, how Ainsworth kept his job. Whilst they were in League 2 for 5 seasons on the trot. I think it is a good thing BTW and definitely a lesson that patience pays off. | |

Of a similar ilk, Brentford have done an amazing job over the years from being a bog standard league 1 side, to becoming a real force in the Championship and promotion contenders. Granted, they have had money pumped in. Listening to a feature about them on 5 Live tonight, and sports analytics come into their equation of success. Seemingly, RAFC don't like that bit... wonder why? |  | | |
