After ten-plus years of pushing the boundaries at Wycombe Wanderers, Gareth Ainsworth is stepping up to return to Championship side QPR. LewisOldham99
The rocker has shown great patience in waiting for the right job. And he may well have found just that at Loftus Road.For over 13 years, Gareth Ainsworth and Wycombe were joined at the hip, with Ainsworth taking on roles as player, manager and even both; a seven-month stretch as player-manager resulted in him guiding the League Two side to safety in 2012/13.
Wycombe were rightly the odds-on favourites to go down in the Championship the following season, and they did. But they did not get relegated with a whimper as they fought right up to the final day before finishing 22nd. Naturally, his work has caught the eye of clubs in the Championship over the years, and QPR have been linked with him on several occasions.
Neil Critchley felt like another wise appointment as the former Aston Villa assistant did brilliantly at Blackpool. But one win in 12 games has resulted in his demise with QPR starting to perilously look over their shoulder in 17th.QPR’s hierarchy have finally pulled the trigger and brought their former player back to the clubThis decision has been met with a mixed response from QPR supporters.
Ainsworth certainly ticks a box there as he has consistently got the maximum out of players as Wycombe have achieved above their means in various divisions. The Hoops have some quality Championship operators in their squad. In the short term, Ainsworth will lift the mood at Loftus Road and this should ease their relegation fears.
