Keep reading that Ainsworth is a QPR Legend.
Only to those who didn't see us win the League Cup, Nearly win the League, produce International players including the England Captain (and 5 players in a single England team), Play in an FA Cup final and finish as London's top club on 2 occasions outside of that.
He represents an era of mediocrity and is YOUR Legend because of how he dressed and because he looked like a 'rock star'.
Brought in entirely to appease the divs in the fansbase so this one is on you.

Because that's the answer.
Put your head in the sand and pretend we've not been sold a dud because some people actually think Ainsworth is a legend.
He was an average player with a bog standard career and spent 11 years at Wycombe because no one else wanted him.
He shouldn't be anywhere near the club and only is because people not old enough to have the pride that came with following us in the 60s,70s and 80s had to choose their 'legends' by who looked chic to them. [Post edited 15 Apr 2023 19:39]

Whilst I get the sentiment..Im lucky enough to have experienced all of the above, for me, being a legend isn’t about success..it’s about attitude and heart..theirs and the impact on mine. I’m happy to accept that Gareth is a legend as a player, but being a legend as a manager?
That’s about next season, because even if there’s a miracle yet to happen, it won’t be down to him I’m afraid. I suspect it will be more down to the attitude of the opposition. |  | | |

I love GA as a player, but unfortunately we cannot say anything has improved with him as our manager. We cannot say our defence is more solid, or our play through the thirds has improved, or we are putting ourselves in a scoring position more often.
The players have not regained any confidence. FFS this is the same set of players who were top of the league.
Back to basics is fine and 4-4-2 can be,if it is flexible...long balls up to a front line with 4 attackers doesn't f**king work as only one of them is capable of winning it in the air and everyone else is too far away to win the second ball, where you would want a midfielder to be...why the f**k was Chair in that front line? He rarely dropped for a pass and I ran out of air the number of times I shouted drop when Paal had the ball...pointless!
A manager's job is to get the best out of what he has...so why play Ilias so far forward...he is the guy who can unlock their defence and he needs the ball to f**King feet..no wonder he did not play great and lost confidence....
What he missed was his mate.
This Cov side were there for us to at least equal in the second half...Chair is the key, but needs someone technical to play off..
GA takes him off and brings on TR, then shortly afterwards brings on Willock...WTAF!!!!!!
Hasn't he watched Chair and Willock together...
Think he may have totally destroyed Chairs confidence if it wasn't already dented..
Totally shocked by how unconfident our players are..GA had had a negative effect in my opinion and all this long ball bollocks can keep away from my team. Passing the ball on the ground could have got something in the second half today.
Shocked and don't want GA as manager...
Even if we scrape safety I don't want this bullsh1t football.... | | | |

Your out of order to drag his playing career into this, if you don't rate him as a manager fine but has nothing to do with his playing career.
In terms of legend status, it's different to greatest ever player, it's about players that are still talked about for what they did. Trying to run off a fracture, his two volleys against R&D, still talked about. I always recall watching him score a header from outside the box at the school end but I forget who we were playing, don't recall anyone else doing that. That's what makes him a legend, not whether he is better or worse than any other players we've had. |  | | |

Small point of order but we've never had five players in an England team. I would doubt, even in our mid 70s pomp, we ever even had five players in a squad. Stan had walked out in 1974 and didn't return until late 1976 and Dave Clement made his debut in 1976 when Gillard and Thomas had already won their last caps.
We had seven England internationals in that mid 70s team but as far as i can tell, the most in an England team was three.
1975 against Wales at Wembley; Francis, Gillard and Thomas all started.
1975 against Czechoslovakia in Bratislava, Francis and Gillard started and Thomas came on as sub. [Post edited 15 Apr 2023 22:53]

Definitely not a legend just a lot more interesting then most footballers. | | | |

I've been around LR since the 70's and it is correct to point out that we have had some genuine legends over the years - including Les.
My son has been attending since the 2000s and someone like Ainsworth is a 'legend' in his eyes. His 100% commitment, drive and effort stood out during some lean years. Look at what Holloway has to say about him.
Everything is relative, I suppose. However, I would not seek to diminish his playing years with us due to the current on-field fiasco. | | | |

Burnley? long diagonal and he scored, if we are thinking of the same goal.
Never wanted him as manager, but that doesn't alter my regard for him as a player. | | | |

The term "legend" has become much diminished by overuse.Ordinary players get awarded this superlative it seems by dint of being part of someone's youth and development rather than merit.
Rather like Punk in essence.  |  |

Doesn’t matter what level they play at . Ainsworth was a genuine folk her in his day .
Has sweat blood and tears but can he cut at this level as a manager?
The jury’s out and the signs aren’t good .
I said when Critchley was here , we needed 5 wins from twenty two or three games .
Between them they’ve mustered two if I’m not mistaken.
That’s f**king appalling in any standard of football regardless of the bunch of no marks we have. | | | |

He was a decent player for us not a legend though, those are your words !!!
Wholehearted trier but also how do you know he wasn't offered any other roles during his 11 years at Wycombe.
I hope he can improve but he took us on at a terrible time and I don't think he will succeed with us.
He will be back at Wycombe next season and probably do very well once more.
As for us, the words "screwed" and "we are" come to mind !!! [Post edited 15 Apr 2023 20:50]

Possibly I just remember someone (maybe Padula) doing a long diagonal at their fullback and him rushing in off the wing and using his momentum to win the header, looping it over the keeper. Great to watch from R block because we were positioned behind the flight of the ball.
The stuff of legends.... not necessarily the best goal ever but surprising and fun to watch. | | | |

To be honest, if he wasn’t a QPR legend he’d probably be getting the sack now or at least have the fan base calling for it. The fact he is a Rangers legend, and for me he is, its kept the pressure off him. I think appointing him was a poor move, and a shame, because it will affect how he’s remembered. | | | |

Beale got a tune out of them. One thing is certain, playing the football, formation and selecting the players that Ainsworth is doing is not helping. He needs to adapt quickly | | | |

Nice, postive post charmr.
We can get too hung up on words and labels. You've hit the character of the man perfectly well there. Hugely admirable person. |  |

For a while he did, yeah. But got given everything he wanted and still only managed one goal in the last 5 games.
I honestly feel bad that Gareth has got dragged into the car crash that is our club at this time. I don't think he's the world's greatest manager but can't see who would have inspired enough confidence and competence to turn things around.
Was always the fear that we'd be better off just remembering him as a player and now he's very possibly going to take us down, which he would obviously never have wanted. (Taking Chair off was fcuking stupid though.) |  | | |

He didn’t get dragged into anything. It was his choice and he’s clearly not up to the job. He’s got the same team that all the other managers have had. Yeh, he’s a nice guy. But he’s not going to save us. Within 2 minutes today you could see we were overrun in the middle as always and it was constantly 2 on 2 at the back. He didn’t change that. Andy Sinton would be a better manager at this point.
As for subbing Chair. That was the only good call he made today. Chair isn’t fit for a relegation fight. He sulks and holds onto the ball for too long. Everyone talks about moments of magic but he’s not produced those for a long time. He can’t even put a cross in that beats the first man. So bored of watching him hang on to the ball for too long when there is a pass on and then losing it and throwing his arms up in a strop.
As soon as Ainsworth was appointed the club started the transition into league 1. The club is a complete joke. No one seems to be taking it seriously.
We don’t deserve anything else atm.
