Lomtadze was referred to as a ‘game changer’ in a PwC piece, and Wycombe fans can be confident that he is living up to that description. Rob Couhig, an American investor, owned the club since 2020.

“I am also a firm believer in youth development, which will be central to the club’s goal. We intend to reopen and establish a leading high-performance academy, which will be an integral element of our long-term goal of developing a club that regularly performs at the highest level.” Wycombe finished 10th in League One last season, and it was always going to be a difficult task to get out of a strong level.
