UK Guardian www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/20/qpr-gareth-ainsworth-manager-wycombe"... Queens Park Rangers are hopeful of appointing Gareth Ainsworth as manager after offering their former midfielder the chance to take the reins at the Championship club. QPR are long-term admirers of Ainsworth’s work at Wycombe and swiftly identified him as their No 1 target to succeed Neil Critchley, who was sacked on Sunday after a 3-1 defeat at Middlesbrough. Shaun Derry, who recently left Crystal Palace, and Chris Wilder are among the other shortlisted candidates. |

God i hope not, if this happens we will get worse. Wilder or Jones would be my choice. Ainsworth is out of his depth in the Championship. Would be a silly move if we appoint Ainsworth.

Wheeling out the same old names . How many times are we going to ask Ainsworth about managing the club?
I have to say starting to sound a little to much like desperation on Sir les's part Maybe it's time to have the total clear out... bye bye Les bye bye Ramsey ... Impey sinton. Might be a bit harsh but all been here for getting on 10 years.

We need someone to be manager. And I don't see how Ainsworth is such a terrible option. We're not exactly Man Ut - with the world as our oyster.
And we have no time for the manager to bed in.
If Neil Warnock was still free. I'd have taken him (till the end of the season).
But that's not option.
I wouldnt want us turning to Paul Hall, Ramsey, Ferdinand to keep us up
And I'd rather Ainsworth over Derry, Hill, Holloway
That just leaves Wilder or Jones (plus probably some I can't think of right now)
So as the expression goes "Given the alternatives..."

Yeah I’m kind of in this camp. Not a liker of Jones the person but he might have well been good for the club, Wilder I quite liked but Boro fans thought he was useless. I would rather we didn’t go for Ainsworth but seeing the options around rather we tried him than others. It’s all a gamble but we have to gamble with someone as Critchley was only going to take us down the way he was going. We need a fresh face, get the three wins we need, forget about this season and regroup again. Hopefully a couple of the hangers on at the Club will finally break their ties this summer but doubtful. One things for sure the 1.5 Million compensation paid by Rangers for Beale has come in handy to pay Critchley and Wycombe and we probably have nothing left , only at QPR |

I think this is a backward move, also he is prepared to drop his old club when they are themselves chasing the play offs. So we can rule out loyalty straight away. I have been to see Wycombe many times as they are close to me, i am not holding my breath for a turnaround put it that way. But LF and co know best eh...........yeah right.

The most important thing isn't what the next manager's record is like or how much any of us do or don't want him.
The most vital thing is how the players will respond to him.
This is a good team when it can be bothered to play football instead of sulking and trying to hide behind questionable injuries.
If whoever is appointed can actually get the players on board then he will be fine.
If, as it looks like now, it is Ainsworth and he can get them on his side from day one then his job will be easy and all the naysayers will forget all the negative stuff and enjoy this team again.
Critchley probably never ever had the dressing room. It doesn't make him a bad manager, but any gaffers odds are virtually impossible once the players decide they don't want you in charge of them.
Whoever comes has to be a uniting force in that dressing room. If he is then the results will improve.

You’re well off the mark regarding loyalty. He was at WW 11 years which in manager terms is a very long tenure |

It looks like it’s going to be Ainsworth, I will be behind him.
As long as he gets the players going again, gives it his all, that’s all we can ask.
Players hopefully will start by giving him a fair chance, because they certainly didn’t for Critchley.
Players need to man up now and get on with it.
I really don’t care if it’s not the most attractive football as long as it’s competitive football and the players play for QPR badge.

It's the same for any job. 11 years service to one club certainly gives him that right. |

No, I doubt that will ever come out Marc. More chance of the media getting hold of how much we had to pay Wycombe, hopefully not too much. Then I guess does he bring his own team. |

Report Taken from Bucks free press 2020. Dobson has a history with Brentford but we can forgive him for that if he joins.  Sunday’s clash will be a special occasion for one of the key figures in Wycombe’s remarkable success story, Gareth Ainsworth’s highly respected assistant Richard Dobson, who began his football career in Brentford’s youth team and later joined their coaching staff when he was forced to retire as a player because of injury. ‘Dobbo’ as he is known to everyone at Adams Park, takes up the story: “My family’s association with Brentford goes back many years. My grandad grew up in the area and he was a big fan of the club and my dad George played for them in the 1960s and 70s. I was on their books from the age of 12 and became a regular in the youth team before being released when they were forced to make cuts for financial reasons. “I eventually joined Farnborough Town who were playing in the Conference at the time, but I had three cruciate knee injuries that ended my playing career prematurely. I returned to Brentford as a coach in their youth department and worked under some famous managers like Steve Coppell and Terry Butcher. |

Like I said before, though, ultimately those qualifications don't mean much if he cannot get the players on board. If he's the type of manager that players will run through brick walls for and he can get them to do the same thing for each other on the pitch then he will succeed. If not then all the tactics and experience in the world won't make a blind bit of difference and the same that happened to Critchley will happen to him. |

I think it’s just about getting the three wins and draw with this bunch. Set the target as 50 points. I think Ainsworth and Dobson can do this. I would imagine the owners have seen through some of these players over the last 16 matches, well you would hope so. Im guessing we are set for another bit of a clear out in the summer and regroup again. But your right Nomar, Critchley thrown under a bus with their attitude, it was like they had made there mind up right from the start. But saying that we did start ok at Preston but after that most of the players started giving up after they were losing week in week out and that’s totally not acceptable. |

And none of us know how this is going to turn out, regardless of how vociferously we might post here or on other social media platforms about who we think is or isn't right for the job. At least for a few days we now have some hope that things might get better, because it was clear that wasn't going to happen as long as Critchley was in charge. |

I really don’t care if it’s not the most attractive football as long as it’s competitive football and the players play for QPR badge. you talk about playing for the QPR badge which I agree with but in my opinion we have too many loanees who have no affinity whatsoever with the club and just want to get the loan done and get back to their parent club I would just hope that we didn't have to go through the loan situation but unfortunately the youngsters are not coming through so I suppose there is only one route we can do down ,not that I am pleased about it because most of the players we have signed are so injury prone , why on earth would we sign a player like Taylor Richards on loan with his injury record I think he has probably played just a few games but and this is what I believe after the loan period is over he belongs to us , that's just great a player who has hardly played for us is suddenly ours what were our so called director of football and CEO thinking answers please |
