QPR: Ainsworth would be worse than Beale

QPR are unsurprisingly being linked with former participant Gareth Ainsworth as they seek for a successor to Michael Beale, however hiring him may tarnish his relationship with followers at Loftus Street.

In line with the Evening Standard, Ainsworth is likely one of the names considered within the body to take over on the west London aspect, who’ve been with no supervisor since Beale joined Rangers final week.

The 49-year-old is the second-longest serving supervisor presently within the EFL, having taken over at Wycombe Wanderers in September 2012, following a earlier spell as caretaker supervisor with QPR.

Previously a right-winger, Ainsworth would be a part of QPR from Cardiff in 2003 and remained at Loftus Street for six years earlier than becoming a member of Wycombe on mortgage – signing a everlasting take care of the Chairboys in 2010.

Whereas he has delivered two promotions at Adams Park, and narrowly missed out on a return to the Championship final season after shedding out to Sunderland within the playoff remaining, the style of play used has come beneath a number of criticism, albeit often from pissed off opposition followers.

Wycombe play extraordinarily direct soccer and whereas that has confirmed to be an enormous success for the membership within the decrease leagues, their one season within the Championship was an in the end unsuccessful one, as they have been relegated in 22nd place.

Though the scale of the membership and the funds on supply have been important elements in that relegation, it emphasised that long-ball soccer just isn’t the way in which to go in a division as aggressive and excessive on high quality because the Championship.

Throughout his decade managing the Buckinghamshire membership, he has averaged a stable 1.45 factors per recreation, whereas Beale was averaging 1.48 factors per recreation within the Championship, even together with the woeful run of kind forward of his transfer to Ibrox.

Ainsworth is fondly remembered for his taking part in time at QPR however ought to he return as a supervisor, there’s little to recommend that he can be an improve on the departing Beale, and his most popular model of play is unlikely to win the followers over, particularly if it produces comparable outcomes to Wycombe’s the final time they performed within the second tier.

Due to this fact, chief govt Lee Hoos ought to keep away from bringing Ainsworth again to Loftus Street.
