Hound Well of course - genuinely be pleased if Wycombe come back up
Was kinda hoping they'd lose the playoffs and Ainsworth would walk meaning we could get him at Reading for free.

I think you have been championing his cause for some years.
Next week it could happen and I doubt that many Reading fans would object to him joining us.

Very difficult to judge a manager's "style".
It is often dictated by the quality of signings that you can make as a manager.
Parky for instance at Wrexham has got his side playing a passing game because he has had the money to buy decent players at that level but, quite sensibly, he still uses the long throw of Tozer to create havoc in opposition defences.
Also Allardyce in those early Blackburn days had some great ball-players in his side and yet elsewhere has developed a long-ball reputation.
Ainsworth was a winger in a decent footballing side at QPR so could well have it in him an ability, with the right tools, to produce a different type of team.

Ascotexgunner We should have got Ainsworth 2 years ago. He was an obvious choice back then.
When you look at his budget....which is bugger all......he has got that team punching way above their weight.
Easily their greatest manager next to Martin o Neill.
When it comes to style of football, is it really any worse than we have witnessed over the last few years? At least we might be able to see the actual style rather than sit there wondering exactly what our tactics are.

Why would Ainsworth leave Wycombe ? It’s a lovely job. No real pressure , no ‘history’ weighing heavily on his shoulders, he pretty much is the club, probably unsackable and can run the place just as he wants.
Takes a smart man to realise when he is in a good position and stick with it !

Money and/or ambition?
Maybe doesn’t always want to manage a lower division side who make the odd foray into the second tier

‘Ambition’ is one of the most overrated words around.
Much more sensible to find a level where you are properly rewarded financially, enjoy what you do and don’t have to deal with excessive stress.
He’s clearly happy at Wycombe, he’ll be earning a very decent wage but still has time to play in a band, play local football etc etc.
If he wants to move up then he’d have no trouble finding a club but the fact that he has stayed suggests he’s got his priorities sorted.

That’s quite subjective
If they go up his stock might be as high as it will ever be. The offer of a bigger club might not happen again
I’d argue you want to go back at the end of your career and say you’ve really tested yourself at the highest level you can manage
Tbf I wouldn’t blame him either way but as a professional sportsman and now manager I suspect he’d be more competitive to just want to stay somewhere safe and comfortable

tidus_mi2 Would it be fair for us to have beef with the EFL if no one gets sanctioned next season? Can't see how Stoke can't be breaching FFP with their losses.
