royalp-we My worry is: if a temp replacement is appointed, the players will be on the beach taking their pics for the gram in the Easter holidays.
We need someone who can kick this squad up the arse and help us finish above the dotted line.

Hound Reckon Ainsworth could be persuaded. Logical step up for him
Wycombe a good club. Heard good things about their ‘academy’ and general set up. Everyone pulling in the same direction

Wycombe is a good club, you say. Why would he be persuaded to come here? We can hardly claim to be a well run club with everyone pulling in the same direction. I am sure he would think he is be better off where he is, after all he may even swap Divisions with us at the end of the season.

Lower WestYorkshireRoyal99Snowflake Royal Replacement
I don't think we should have appointed him in the first place, or that his prior experience was what we should have been looking for.
I don't see a change now being positive. I think the club needs a clean break, with a carefully made decision with careful planning on a replacement, not a rushed decision under time pressure mid-season without knowing where we'll be next season to compete in a relegation battle from the off.
I certainly think he needs to do something spectacular to have his contract extended.
Providing we survive, I think he's in with a shout of staying on for another season or two I'd say, I think continuity is important personally. I can understand why people wouldn't want him to stay on though similarly.
Pauno has no ability to work with the players at his disposal. Anybody can be a manager with a chequebook. The players have lost confidence with his methods and style. That's very apparent.

Once upon a time . Never been keen on Pardew , I remember him playing Cureton in midfield and Upson at right back on one occasion, who can explain that ( not in the same game ) . Has he ever won anything ?
Saw Wycombe on tv a week ago and they certainly put more into the game than we get from Reading .

HoundURZZZZ And whether we like it or not, Stam, by a fair distance, has had the most successful season since our relegation, by a considerable distance too, also presiding over our most successful transfer window since the relegation with a limited budget with some very astute signings. Of course we’re all aware how it ended up but it doesn’t divert away from the initial success.
There's something in that. Remember before the season a lot of us thought we were nailed on for relegation, and the Stam appointment was seen as something of a joke
The Thai's gave him f all budget, and through just a clear mentality and plan of action we got some good success. Seemed to be some clear thinking then that we haven't really had since we bloated the squad up

PATRIQT Who was the Leeds fella who also managed Swansea to their highest top flight finish? He did well and talks a good game. Not with a club ATM.

Ironically he has been at both Sheff Wednesday and Birmingham City, who have both suffered points deductions, so he would be fitting to join ourselves. Plays a possession-based style which seems to be the theme with most of our recent managers so might not be a bad shout.

John Smith I think the people here calling for Ainsworth are almost arrogant to think that someone of his stature would come to us. He is destined for far bigger and better things

Didn't he get the boot from Bham for some shady transfer dealings?
