Wycombe Wanderers’ ongoing struggle with debt means they will always be susceptible to losing their players to big money offers, accepts Blues boss Gareth Ainsworth.

Ainsworth has repeatedly stated the financial strain the club is under and has stressed the battle they face in both signing and keeping players.

With the summer transfer window fast approaching, and a number of Wycombe players impressing throughout the campaign, Ainsworth accepts that money could talk.

“You would have to ask the chairman that one but we will make decisions which are in the best interests of the club,” Ainsworth said when asked if the club is in a position where they would have to accept a big money offer.

“If someone offered me £1m for one of my players they are out of here. Trust me it is the same for most teams in League Two.”

The Wycombe boss has addressed the subject of the club’s financial constraints in the national media in the past week.

He described the financial situation as stable but also said the debt ensures they are still in choppy waters.

It is a debt which he insists he will have to help manage for the foreseeable future and claims he is happy to take on the challenge of doing so.

“We have to do things in a certain way and the debt is going to be there for a while unless we get a big Thai investor come in and buy us like all these other clubs seem to,” he said.

“I don’t have the choice [of spending big]. It would be great to be able to go out and take my pick of the best players in the world, but I have never shirked a challenge.

“You do what you can with what you have and I do what I can to keep Wycombe in the best position possible.”

Part of doing the best he can for the club involves a summer spent dealing with agents and Ainsworth says the transfer window will be extremely busy for him.

He said: “The busiest time for a manager is probably the close season because we are on the phone all the time, and we get called up by agents 10 times a day to say they have the perfect player.

“I won’t be sat on the beach for two months and I think I have about 10 or 12 days with the family all in all. I am a lucky man, I am a loyal man and will give my all for Wycombe Wanderers.”
