A very un Gareth move.
You have to assume that he couldn't get along with the Shrewsbury owner. |  | | |

Shrewsbury fans seem to think they're Conference bound so not quite sure what's going on up there.
It is quite difficult to keep up that "buy in" shtick if you keep walking out on clubs though... |  | | |

They sold Tom Bloxham off to Blackpool and it looks like the wheels came off afterwards. |  |

I am going to be completely in the minority on here and liable to get pelters but I have gone right off this man.
Jumping ship before he gets the flick Not much different on here to what.Beale did., although results wise Beale had a reasonable record here.
Also, Ainsworth has failed miserably in his last two roles and zero ability to react and change when needs be.
But fair play, managing to get another management role. [Post edited 25 Mar 12:22]

Gazza the Great, loyal to the last. Him & Dobbo exhibiting the same traits that they are quick to view as failings in others.
Legend. |  | | |

He does seem to have shat the bed since leaving Wycombe, doesn't he? Fair enough, he jumped before he was pushed but it isn't a good look. [Insert fashion-based gag here] | |

Swapping a team destined for League Two, for a team not far off the bottom three in League Two.
Odd.
Unless Dog Chewed The Handle have a big Kent-based following. |  |

Gillingham have money to spend I believe. Shrewsbury are on the bones of their ars. | | | |

He spent years at Wycombe, and then his QPR dream job came up. He joined at the wrong time, even for him.
Still, he managed to keep us up, and then, of course, as he's not more experienced than Wycombe and QPR, he could not do anymore.
Shrewsbury is a basket case, everyone knows that, he did try there and even Marti would struggle. Now at Gills, if it does not go well then that will be on him. |  |

Sounds like you know all the background as to his time at Shrewsbury and why he would leave so soon to reach the conclusion it’s similar to Beale going to Glasgow Rangers. |  | | |
| Gareth Ainsworth on 13:01 - Mar 25 with 2624 views | GaryHaddock |
No idea what happened at Shrewsbury, but to compare him to Beale is a bit much. 15 years at the same unfashionable skint club don't forget.
Maybe they asked him to go. We're an ugly fanbase sometimes. [Post edited 25 Mar 13:05]

Two consecutive failures speaks for itself. He won't get another chance if he fails again at Gillingham.
Bit harsh comparing him to Beale.
Ainsworth put in ten solid years at Wycombe and had them punching well above their weight. Even Martin O'Neill never got them to the Championship.
Beale walked in with no managerial experience and from day 1 thought he was too good for us.
Ainsworth really wanted to be here but was found wanting.
Beale really wanted to be in Glasgow and was also found wanting.
So fair enough perhaps they do have something in common. | | | |

15 if you include player and manager. [Post edited 25 Mar 13:06]

I was reading an interview with him the other day. Not sure when it was originally done, but Shrewsbury had only scored one goal in six games and that was a penalty. He was going on about how he won't accept the defending at set plays and hopes players are having along hard look at themselves in the mirror. Saying to themselves they need to do better and hope they are ready to go again and fight. He is ready to fight, he always is blah blah blah
I came away from reading it being annoyed as it was the same old crap we heard from him. It seems as though he just can't evolve and just comes across as very naive. Before today's reports of him doing a runner, I always thought the integrity he showed and basic principles of working hard and being honest were very admirable. However, expecting those same things from modern footballers is a bit far-fetched with a lot of them. Now I know he might have crazy ideas about team bonding and group exercises (to build a culture) but he must realise that he is only get a buy in if he is getting results.
Now days he just comes across as a bit dated and out of his depth | | | |

We can’t have it both ways.
He either did a runner after being wanted by Shrewsbury or is a unhireable dinosaur. | | | |

Am guessing like all of us.
Shrewsbury are bottom of the league. Guessing his services may well not have been required because of that
Clearly an assumption but being bottom of a league and relegation usually you lose your job. | |

Well, turns out they did want him to stay. Harsh on Shrews fans.

They have the Brian Moore stand, currently under redevelopment with temporary scaffolding, sorry seating, that went up 22 years ago.
There is a YT vid going into the history, perfect for Gareth to do his them v us routine. | |

Well if that's the case then he has done to Shrewsbury what Belae did to us in this instance.
Appreciate its first time in his career, he has done this but the action then is similar to what Beale did. | |

Yeah, I disagree mate. There is no moral equivalency there. | | | |

I read that Shrewsbury picked up 23 of their miserly 28 points in the 4 months Ainsworth was in charge. |  |
