A Warburton Return

I'm starting a new Warburton thread as this is a different topic now to him leaving but the original thread is here >

Anyway, we need him back.

It is turning out to be one of the worst decisions in recent QPR history letting him go.

We know if he walked in tomorrow he would at least have a plan or a style he was going to try and implement. I suspect the players would be happy to see him back too.

I think we would also stand a better chance of getting something out of Willock/Richards etc with Warburton in charge.

The players rightly or wrongly clearly aren't buying into Ainsworth's plan and I'm pretty certain they will continue to down tools until they've got rid of him in a few games time. They did it with Critchley and for me it's inevitable now. How long is Ainsworth realistically going to last? It’s very likely we lose every game until the international break and could he survive that?

So give Warburton the rest of the month to have a say in the transfers. He would undoubtedly have a better chance of attracting players to us too.

Even if Ainsworth stays he only keeps talking about us surviving. He doesn't seem to have any ambition above that. He's not the long term answer anyway.

Also his interviews are now starting to really annoy fans, he talks nonsense. Warburton is at least calm and measured and would go about his business in a less inflammatory way.

The reason I tout Warburton over many others is because he is one of the few people free to take over and realistic enough to link to us, although I imagine it would take a lot of grovelling on our part.

I'm not jumping on the bandwagon here either, I said at the end of last season we need to be brave and thank Ainsworth and part ways because it's been clear all along its not working.

We are going down with him, the fans are turning already.

We need brave owners, brave decision makers to make this call. We need Warburton back.

And breathe 😅 thoughts?

To be honest give me any alternative to Ainsworth right now. His post match interview yesterday has been grating on me all day.

I do not see the Board inviting him back as that is an admission of error, and I do not see him leaving his current role that eagerly; but I would be delighted to see him as Coach/Manager again!

Sadly, anyone now would be better than the current coach. Doubt Warburton would come back but maybe if Rangers pitched him a hybrid coach/DoF role that might tempt him. Also could be combined with getting rid of Chris Ramsey and Paul Hall. If you think about it, Ainsworth has had far more time than Critchley and has actually done worse. I would also get rid of all our Comms staff, save the fabulous Nick London and Andy Sinton. Club propaganda is woeful and embarrassing.


Would also say that action is needed now on this and even if Warbs won't return, Ainsworth needs to go immediately. Someone on another board mentioned Gary O'Neil and that would be great but fat chance of him wanting to take over. Dark days. And northwesthoop is not over-reacting and yes, forcing out Warburton was awful both at the time and in retrospect. My suspicion is that at the time the club had already tapped up Beale and that's why junked Warbs.
