    Not sure l'd like my lobster steamed, much prefer fresh prawns nowadays.

    Think Moore will get it regardless of qualifications.

    Wycombe 3 points off relegation from League One. Ainsworth would definitely be a heart over head choice if we went for him. I'm guessing he would be cheap.

    Am I right in thinking Ainsworth had a spell as caretaker manager so time ago?

    Correct. Not sure when that was. But I don't remember the football being particularly better under him.

    I assume that if he was decent at the time then he would have got the job permanently, although now has a lot more managerial experience being him.

    During the 2006–07 season, Ainsworth struggled with injuries, and his season ended in April after a scan revealed that he had broken his leg in a win over Luton Town.[27] During the 2007–08 season, he assisted new manager Luigi De Canio in addition to his 25 games, and stated his intention to move into coaching once his player career is over.[28]
    In May 2008, Ainsworth accepted a player coach role under new QPR boss Iain Dowie. Dowie was sacked in October 2008, and Ainsworth was appointed as caretaker-manager.[29] On taking up the reins, Ainsworth announced that "QPR is very strong with the result of what happened and will stay strong, nothing is going to break us".[30] During his time in charge QPR managed to test Manchester United at Old Trafford in a League Cup encounter that was only settled by a 76th minute Carlos Tevez goal.[31] This performance caused Ainsworth to believe that the club could achieve promotion to the Premier League.[32] He remained on the club's coaching staff after Paulo Sousa was appointed as manager in November.[33] Sousa's reign did not last long however, and on 9 April 2009, Ainsworth again took the role of caretaker-manager.[34]
    He was considered for the vacant management position at former club Lincoln City in September 2009.[35]

    Yes about 4 spells if I remember correctly. When we changed manager every time Flavio had a spray tan. I also seem to recall that we didn't lose many or win many - a run of efficient draws by and large as he learned from the best the art of possession football.

    Can’t imagine it’s too appealing to be told the club will be offloading the best talent and not having money to buy new players.

    Nope it certainly lacks any form of ambition for a manager who wants to win things or at least progress to be in a position to compete. This job is for either someone who is just happy to pick up a pay cheque and avoid relegation or a stop gap/stepping stone to bigger and better things.

    Or if it is someone with strong QPR ties it'll be for someone who genuinely cares about the future of the club which would be someone like Ainsworth or Bircham.

    I hope Ainsworth doesn't get the job with the club in it's current state. He could ruin his reputation that he built up as a player here.
    I would like Phil Parkinson to walk away from Bolton, come to us as he is used to dealing with lots of crap and maybe bring one or two players with him.
