Could do with a protest march demanding his appointment.

royal67 Ainsworth has just been sacked..... Surely fate must play some part in him being appointed as our new manager?

Not without a new owner


New owner or not i'd be on the the phone now trying to persuade him to take the role. Just so sick of the no mark nonentities, that it's obvious will be failures before they're even appointed, that the club keep finding.

And how do you propose to pay him, or appoint him without Dai's permission?

Hasn’t he just spent the last year being worse than awful at QPR? 5 wins in 28, 0.68 ppm if transfermarkt to be believed

Bizarre to suddenly decide he is the answer

He might replicate Wycombe but would think more likely carry on from QPR - crap football and terrible results

Ainsworth did well over a long period of time at Wycombe and he kept a poor QPR side up last season. The problem with the Championship is clubs want instant success because of the riches of the Premiership. Like us QPR have been on a downward spiral for a while now.

I am not sure how we can make any changes with an AWOL owner. If appointing Ainsworth was part of a long term plan to get us back to the Championship I certainly wouldn’t be against it.

They did very slightly better than us last season after he took over? Keeping them up consisted of basically winning 1 game after an absolute horror run

And he’s failed with a team with similar issues to our own, inc having issues with discipline and people getting stupidly sent off (sounds familiar?). Unable to turn round a team falling down the table

19 points in 28 games…

Definitely not Ainsworth . If Bowen wants to keep his job after a sale, he should put Selles on garden leave and prove he can do a job by taking temporary charge otherwise him and Selles will both be sacked by a new owner .

This is the issue. People say they want experienced options, then when one comes along they say "not them". Similar reaction to Cowley rumours in the summer. Some were even questioning Wilder based upon his Boro job. Experienced managers will have blemishes on their record otherwise they will be managing at a higher level.

Ainsworth has an excellent record at this level. QPR are a poor Championship side, whereas this squad is underperforming. If he is willing to jump straight back in, I'd definitely take him.

I wouldn’t be massively against him but at the same time the enthusiasm for him is a bit weird

Would have been sacked months ago by them if it wasn’t for his playing links there

The issue isn’t he’s experienced, it’s that he’s just failed in a team in a similar situation

There are plenty of other experienced managers available

Exactly this. Show me a manager at this level that hasn’t had a horror show at some point in their career. It can happen to any manager. Doesn’t mean he shit. When he went there most people thought it was the wrong move. It would be quite difficult for any other manager to fcuk things up more than what we are seeing at the moment. You could get ian in and he’d do a better job. We just need to simplify things.

The main issue we have though is we haven’t got any bruisers we are too weak and namby pamby in midfield. We need a few physical players in the team. And unless we can find some sort of budget to bring some loans or ooc players that’s not going to change any time soon. But we really need to see some 6 ft 5 brick shithouses in the team and start roughing up our opponents.

Weren’t they something like 7th when he took over? Keeping them up consisted of basically winning 1 game after an absolute horror run

I think QPR got off to a really good start last season a bit like us, but that was papering over quite a few cracks. Ainsworth managed to get them wins at Burnley and Stoke which helped to keep them up.

Honestly, I am not sure what the answer for us is right now, but we really need a manager who knows this division and probably the one below and it has to be seen as a long term project.

Someone has just posted a tweet showing a helicopter landing at the stadium. Let’s hope someone has come to sack Selles.

Dunno where does he live? Didn’t pauno stay at the hotel for months before he found somewhere to live? But anyway I doubt he needs to be present if indeed that is dia or pang arriving. Or they could just call him in or do it over the phone.

Or it could just be some rich vvanker staying at the hotel

People have had a hard on for him for years. Even based on his performance at Wycombe they were anti-football, which suits us not at all.

Looking even more like a one club wonder now.

But, someone with any sort of track record of success is better than pretty much anyone we've appointed for years.
