Wycombe Wanderers chairman Rob Couhig has handed Alex Neil the opening par of his Sunderland team talk at Wembley. The Chairboys chief took aim at Sunderland in a thinly veiled statement in an attempt to get supporters to buy tickets for the League One play-off final clash.
In a statement released on the club website, the Wycombe chairman referenced the 'Sunderland 'til I Die' Netflix documentary moments after saying his side would win promotion to the Championship for the second time in three years. Couhig wrote: "May 21st, 2022. Two weeks from now, two months, two years, twenty years, indeed as long as Wycombe Wanderers Football Club exist, people will ask each other where they were when Wycombe played at Wembley and rose for the second time in three years to the Championship."
You have to admire his confidence, but those comments could well come back to bite him. Sunderland supporters know they have no divine right to win promotion and have suffered plenty play-off heartbreak in the past.
