Southport Red Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 No one has a crystal ball, but usually the best guess as to what a manager might do in the future, is to look at what he has done in the past. With the greatest respect to Mr Ainsworth, who I agree, has done very well indeed for Wycombe, NP’s past record earns him the right to more than a few weeks trying to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic that is BCFC.

robin_unreliant Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I think there is a big difference between what fans like in a manager and what motivates players. Old school managers with a bit of character appeal to fans. I'm not sure young players on big salaries will enjoy the straight talking that the fans enjoy.

It might not be rocket science, but it’s a hell of a lot easier, cheaper and less risky to change one manager than to change 25 players. That’s why it’s always the managers that get the sack.

Only joking, although I am intrigued what Gary Johnson, Pearson and Wycombe have done to deserve their capital letters, while other managers, the club itself, and rules of grammar generally get lesser treatment To answer your question though, I’m with @054123, I just don’t know any longer. It’s easy to just blame the board though; Pearson’s appointment was pretty much 100% supported by fans. We all thought he was the person who would be able to motivate, organise, generally turn things round in a way that hasn’t materialised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the true measure. Given what he has achieved with absolutely no budget and club for club comparison, I would say Ainsworth’s achievements are not that far away from being on par with Pearson. I know people say that it was him who assembled the squad that won Leicester the premier league, but it wasn’t him who actually achieved it. So a promotion to the premier league with a club that should be there anyway is his main achievement. Ainsworth took a club from league 2 nothingness to competing in the championship. A remarkable achievement given where they had come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daored Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 @big dosseri wouldn’t have been against Ainsworth when Johnson was sacked last season. He organises his team, admittedly direct but he makes the best use of this players and ability / lack of ability. Looking in from the outside his players seem to like him and play for him. However, i understood Wycombe got into the play offs on PPG? So had the season been finished correctly may not even be in this league. There is an element of snobbery within our fan base as demonstrated by @Redrascal2comment. If the club appoints a Lowe or Ainsworth comments of only managed in lower leagues , smaller clubs etc will follow. I’m not convinced Pearson will be here next season, either his decision or ours. It’s a huge rebuilding job , we’ve been left with an unbalanced squad , a weak squad and to replace players is going to cost a lot either through players leaving for free, paying up contracts (possibly Wells and Palmer) and bringing in replacements. It needs the right guy not the biggest name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And timed it so that the new manager has a decent period to look at what is here, what he wants to keep and what he wants to recruit. Seems like a plan to me. But when you talk about 'change the players' - how many, and how quickly? The implication from a lot of what I read on here is that it needs most of them to change. That may not be what you meant. But that's just not realistic and I don't think there will be as wholesale a clearout and change in the summer as some think. Changing a whole squad over one summer is a massive job (and we're currently without the person who negotiates that), it's a massive risk, and its a massive cost. So if you just change a few, and are left with the bulk of the current squad then isn't that already a risk, given that its the bulk of the squad that Pearson has worked with for however long now, and without much evidence of things going in the right direction. I genuinely don't know the answer. I wish I could be as confident as you that either: a) we recruit a whole new squad of players chosen by NP in the summer and it will all fit together nicely or b) we start next season with a few tinkering to the squad and NP will turn round results in a way he hasn't the past few weeks. I'd love either of those to be the case - I'm just not confident of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's different personalities and different management styles - and maybe that's part of our problem. It wouldn't be the first time in SLs tenure that he's tried to change the style of management without apparently realising the impact on players - motivationally, tactically etc. I don't really know enough about NP and I'm not quite sure he's up there in the Neil Warnock 'old school' type, but its quite likely that we've got a lot of players who don't respond to NPs style - in the way you wouldn't. One of the OSIB 'cider with' episodes featured David Noble, and if ever there was a clash of management and player personalities that wasn't going to work well then it was him playing under Steve Evans. Hilarious! But I guess there were players Evans could get the best out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love either of those to be the case - I'm just not confident of it. We have scope to extensively change the squad already. A lot of players are ooc and few if any have done anything to merit a new contract. The squad clearly needs battle hardened ambitious players ready to step up themselves. We need a summer much like Cotterill had with Ayling, Smith, Agard, Wilbraham, , Freeman Little. Most saw us as a step up and were around 22 to 24. One or 2 Wilbrahams would help too.

I think I would have got on well with LJ as I think there was a lot more tactical ideas going on behind the scenes. I just think he tried to do too many at once and when it didn't work out would panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
