NathStPaul Mr Angry Ainsworth PR and media profile are excellent; his skills as a Manager are - at best - unproven.
Nearly not getting relegated from the Championship in his one season at that level doesn't sound like someone who is going to take us to the next level.....
Do you mean unproven at Championship level or in general?
Certainly at Championship level.
IIRC, did he not take Wycombe up through some Covid-related mechanism rather than them winning promotion after having played 46 games that season? If so, then it could be argued that there was a degree of "luck" involved in that promotion.
However, to be honest I haven't studied his managerial record in any great detail, so I could be wrong.
Put another way, what do you think Reading's ambitions should be in the next 3/5 seasons, and what have you seen about Gareth Ainsworth that suggests he would be the right person to take us to that level?
I am not having a go; I am genuinely interested.
