    A possibility at some time in the future. He's doing brilliantly on a shoestring at Wycombe, especially as they only stayed up on the last day of last season, so he knows about adversity. If TF leads us to financial disaster who knows, Gazza might be just the man...

    NO for two reasons:

    * Ainsworth's first spell in charge of us

    * Ainsworth's second spell in charge of us

    He was very close to getting the boot at Wycombe way before the end of last season. A lot of fans really wanted him out.

    The only thing that kept him in a job was the fact that it would have cost too much to pay him off.

    No- passion is probably bottom of the list of priorities. Paolo Di Canio had plenty of passion at Sunderland.

    The biggest factor in any manager is intelligence. Look at United, City, Chelsea and Arsenal.

    Passion gets you a short term boost but we need continuity and next manager need to be one we can keep 5-6 years plus

    Ainsworth is a nostalgic gamble we can't afford to take.

    For me if Eddie Howe is a no go i'd try Gary Rowett who's turned Birmingham round and did a great job at Burton

    If you look at the 4 clubs you mention, what (aside from money) do they have in common? Foreign coaches, and that's where I would be looking. Just as English players have fallen behind the rest, so have English/British coaches.

    I think we need someone with a bit more experience of managing at a higher level.

    Luigi Di Canio anyone? He did say he wanted to comeback and do the job properly. However, brief look at Wiki does not imply a glittering career and currently out of work (I think). Loved the football he got that team playing.
    "We're gonna win, when Rangers sing, Di Canio"!! And we did, on occasions, too.

    I think Harry has lost his managerial nous, I don't believe he ever had any passion (for QPR at least). So, yes...a lot like Harry.

    Ainsworth openly admits, he is on a huge learning curve and has already changed his approach\ style of management over the last 6 months. He was too much one of the lads and not enough the boss, you'll now see him in the dugout with Shirt and Jacket rather than tracksuit.

    Best of luck to him but obviously not one for us at the moment.
