Dr. Feelgood Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Well, apparently Southampton are after the Yank Leeds just sacked. He could yet become the man who took two clubs down in the same season. Quote
Wanderlust Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Huddersfield who are struggling at the bottom of the Championship have dragged Neil Warnock out of retirement FFS. TBH I hope he pulls another great escape out of the bag - ideally at the expense of Wigan. Quote
Johnnyrotten Posted February 20, 2023 Author Posted February 20, 2023 I know "Ainsworth to QPR" is on the Wycombe thread, but I thought it worthy of comment that 4 clubs in the championship have now had 3 managers this season. Cardiff, Wigan and Huddersfield the other 3. Critchley's stock has fallen since he walked out on Blackpool to join Gerrard at Villa 7 months ago. He'll struggle to get another championship job as a No 1 any time soon, probably informing Stevie G of his availability as we speak. Quote

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 20, 2023 Site Supporter Posted February 20, 2023 Maybe, as part of this review into governance etc, that rules could be brought in to "protect" a new manager so that he gets a minimum grace period, free from undue pressure, to instill his ideas? Obviously, certain caveats needed for misconduct etc. Quote

The championship has become a graveyard for managers over recent times 17 clubs changed manager in that league at least once since last season ended. No wonder premiership clubs increasingly recruit from overseas - no one is given the chance any longer to prove themselves Assuming Ainsworth joins QPR Evatt becomes the 8th longest serving EFL manager Quote

He's available, proven at this level, reputation to repair. Of course wage demands and terms of leaving Southampton could play a part I'd like them to go for Ainsworth as it obviously weakens a play off rival, but I think he's happy there, and sometimes a move upwards doesn't work out As Nathan Jones has found out Quote

That would be another one where he'd get till the end of the season, and if he's not stamped his mark on it with some standout results, you just know they'd bow to fan pressure and appoint a "name" in the summer. Even though Ainsworth is "lower league" I think he'd get longer and anybody can see he's done a great long term job at Wycombe, but inexperienced managers like Holden, and Critchley etc, just don't have that to fall back on.

Yeah, but I don't think he has done much at note at the clubs he's been at Assistant at Oldham, and boss temporarily. A basket case of a club. Assistant at Bristol City and then temp/full time boss, before getting the boot. Hardly had a run as proper number one, but seems to be rated. Only been at Charlton a few weeks, but if the stats I've seen are correct, then he has a 50% win rate in the league. Quote

He was there for 19 years as a player, including 10 under Ainsworth. So a Sammy Lee-type appointment but also it would be like us appointing Nolan or Jussi after Big Sam left. Quote
