The shortlist last time around was Paul Hurst, Gary Bowyer, Jack Ross and Michael Appleton.
 
Ainsworth would be horrible.

His brand of football with Wycombe when we played them last year was more like rugby.
The home game their timewasting tactics were a disgrace, worst I've ever seen. The away game they just tried to kick us off the park. ****ed if I'm watching that week in week out.

Aye we need someone to work with what we have and we've barely got anyone I'd describe as a big lad. If that's how Ainsworth rolls I don't see it as a good fit.

If we've got anything we've got some decent footballers so we need someone to capitalise on that.

As usual you make great points but can I say in defence of Kevin Philips he loyally stood by Peter Reid, to long for his own good really , but whether this had anything to do with Sunderland is not clear, but he was not busting a gut to leave as you infer. Having said that I fully agree with your arguments, I do not want him back as manager,or any dour hard man type either, its a different ball game these days. The influx of foreign players, ideas and fitness levels blew them and their drinking culture, completely out of the water
Even though something needed to be done, I do not envy SD's task and am puzzled by it tbh, it all seems a bit knee jerk rather than well considered. <ok>

Correct me if I've got this wrong, but I'm sure I remember a SKP interview where he said that in his last year he ''had no appetite for a relegation fight, and when the move came couldn't get down the motorway fast enough'' Obviously could have been misquoted/misinterpreted.
 
Ainsworth is not for me
Don't see anything in his record or style of play
nothing to indicate he could get us promoted let alone take us forward next season

I know we are in league one but we can do much better
Bit worried if this is the type of candidate the club are looking at
