‘Future QPR manager’ – These QPR fans react as club send message to former player

|

With five defeats from six games, things haven’t exactly gone how those associated with QPR would have wanted them to since football restarted.

But while Rangers have endured a run to forget, there was at least a memorable night for one former QPR man on Monday, as Gareth Ainsworth guided his Wycombe Wanderers side to promotion to the Championship for the first time in their history.

Having been written off as one of the favourites for relegation from League One at the start of the campaign, Wycombe, managed to secure their place in the play-offs on a points-per-game basis after the early curtailment of the League One season, and having overcome Fleetwood in the semi-finals, Ainsworth’s side beat Oxford 2-1 at Wembley on Monday to seal their place in the Championship next season.

Would you take Gareth Ainsworth as QPR manager?

Yes

No

Following that success, QPR took to Twitter to congratulate Ainsworth – who spent seven years with the club as a player between 2003 and 2010 – as well as Giles Phillips and Adam Smyth, both who are on-loan at Wycombe from Rangers.

Responding to that post, many QPR fans were quick to call for the club to appoint Ainsworth as their own manager in the future, while others contemplated on the positions of Phillips and Smyth, both of whom played a limited role in Wycombe’s play-off campaign.

Some meanwhile, observed that there is still no guarantee that QPR will be playing Wycombe next season, with relegation still a mathematical possibility for Rangers.

Here, we take a look at what some of those supporters had to say.
