Wycombe Wanderers owner Rob Couhig aims shot at 'Netflix show' club Sunderland

Wycombe Wanderers owner Rob Couhig has aimed a thinly veiled shot at Sunderland, calling them a "Netflix show" ahead of their League One play-off final clash at Wembley. Wycombe managed to reach the Wembley showcase by beating MK Dons 2-1 on aggregate, despite losing the second leg of the tie 1-0.

Sunderland meanwhile scored a stoppage time equaliser against Sheffield Wednesday which sealed their place at Wembley with a 2-1 aggregate win. And Couhig has not held back on how he views Wycombe's play-off rivals.

In an open letter to Wycombe's fans on the club website ahead of Wembley ticket sales, Couhig wrote: "We know that the last step in this journey will not be easy. We will again be the underdogs to those who “know football”. The supporters of the team that is a Netflix show will try to intimidate us with their superior number of fans.
