Just hope it works out with him.
Couldn't bear to see a legend get ripped apart by our fans. | |

So we shouldn't consider these things? | | | |

This could be the perfect appointment if it happens....
1) we are definately cash strapped, so Gareth would get a 'pass' from the fans regarding signings etc
2) it may be a clever move by the board, resigning themselves to league 1, and simply 'getting ready'.
3) Gareth really has a pretty good record for his experience.
4) i'll never forget him putting on the shirt at Wycombe in front of the fans
5) There's bugger all else available within the price range.
6) he's a great guy, but is also tough when he needs to be...been there, done that.
Plus he talks to the fans....i remember up in the rain at Blackpool where we won 3-0, he came over during the pre match and talked to a few of us...... he's got a bloody strong grip. | |

you could those same kind of comments about any manager who comes in.
What had Warburton won to earn their respect or Beale? | | | |
| Sky reporting we're in talks with Wild Thing on 13:57 - Feb 20 with 3208 views | CynicalR |
Warburton had managed one of the biggest clubs in Europe and also had a decent record in this division.
Beale may have been unknown to most fans in the country but inside the game he already had a reputation as 'one to watch'.
Gareth Ainsworth has managed Wycombe Wanders in the 3rd division for 9 out of the last 10 years and no other club has been heavily linked with him bar us.
There is a BIG difference. | | | |

Clive, Dave Mc and a few others will have a more analytical way of expressing this, but for me we're back at the old faithful "fcuk it let's give him a go" stage. | | | |

"Michael Beale who was/is considered one of the best young coaches in the country and, possibly, further afield." ... and thought he was too big for QPR.
"We have players we've brought in who have played at Chelsea, Liverpool, PSV Eindhoven, Spurs and Manchester United"... and most of those think they are too good for QPR.
How about we go back to the way the club was ie hungry players who considered it an honour to play for a club like QPR? Give me a modern equivalent to Wild Thang/Lee Cook/Martin Rowlands/Danny Shittu as opposed to Iroegbunam/Roberts/JCS/Lowe etc any day of the week. [Post edited 20 Feb 2023 14:06]

"What happens when players used to working with coaches of the calibre of Beale and before him Mark Warburton justifiably ask what this man has done in his career to justify his appointment at a club of this level and coach players like them? What if the old 'show us your medals' comes out and he can point to being Port Vale's player of the year in 1998?"
He could say that he is the only manager to have taken them into the second tier in their 136 year history. | |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

That isn't true. They've been in the 3rd division for 4 years out of the 11 he's been manager.
Are you sure you know his managerial career well enough to be branding him a poor choice so vociferously? | | | |
| Sky reporting we're in talks with Wild Thing on 14:15 - Feb 20 with 2945 views | slmrstid |
In the politest way possible...this is nonsense.
None of our players have achieved anything noteworthy in their careers, with the exception of probably Dieng and even then he only played the easy group games last year whilst Mendy was injured.
If whoever they've previously played for, and wherever they've come from, gives them a feeling of superiority over any manager, then again all that suggests to me is that it is them who are the problem and not anyone else. So anyone with that attitude can bugger off.
To be quite frank its no different to hearing of one of our players slagging off NC in a pub last week - NC may have been terrible but all that says to me about that player is he's a twt who we're better off without. | | | |

If he gets the job it will be a case of "finally". I've been expecting him to be appointed either by you or Blackburn for the last five years or so.
He has earned a crack at a Championship club as he has done exceptionally well at Wycombe, a club who average little more than 5,500, over a long period.
I wouldn't want to be the man who succeeds him at Adams Park. | | | |

If the results suffer he, or whoever else gets the job, will get ripped apart. Just like every other Manager previously and the current DoF, CEO and owners are.
That's why I posted the other day that football in general should move away from social media, it's not a good place to be and, as you rightly say, doesn't seem to fit the narrative of the people at the ground.
"He has to go" That should be their new motto.

Anyone know if he was actually considered / spoken to in the summer? | |

In amongst all the forensic, analytical, strategic pontification going on, it's this, isn't it? It just comes down to this.
On a mostly unrelated note (?), I didn't realise that Rushden & Diamonds FC don't exist anymore. Always think of them when Wild Thing is mentioned. [Post edited 20 Feb 2023 14:46]

I agree, talk of burning a previous rep is overrated. In any event, if Gareth is in the running I'd like to think that it's based on merit rather than any previous association as a player. | | | |

I hope Gareth brings Adebayo Akinfenwa with him for his motivational skills. | | | |

Over analysis in full swing. Fans - actual match going fans - like him, respect him and will want him to do well. Board don’t want a fan-led bonfire. Ergo, a sensitive PR-caring Board do what fans want.

You'd better hope that doesn't happen then because he will.
What do I know but not sure he has the right skill set for our problems, but then who does!
Top 3 in the betting are GA, Derry and Wilder - a risk, obviously!, think I would plump for Wilder from them, but anyone equally likely to fail as anyone else is my (rather negative) view. | | | |

That is a fair point. DaveB laughed at me when I said I'm not sure there is/was a 'real life' desire for a demonstration.
Said it before and will say it again, Twitter, Facebook, this forum & others on line do not necessarily mirror the views of the 'silent' majority. | | | |
