The CEO of Queens Park Rangers, Lee Hoos, expresses confidence in head coach Gareth Ainsworth’s ability to bring about a turnaround in the team’s performance. Despite a challenging start to the season, QPR currently occupies the third-from-bottom position in the league. The upcoming match against Huddersfield Town at Loftus Road is of great significance for both teams as they strive for safety.
Ainsworth has been facing mounting pressure from supporters to reverse QPR’s fortunes, with the team failing to secure a victory since early September when they defeated Middlesbrough 2-0 away. Under Ainsworth’s leadership, QPR has experienced its longest winless streak at home in the club’s 141-year history, an 11-game run that could extend if they don’t secure three points against the Terriers this weekend.
However, CEO Lee Hoos remains optimistic about avoiding relegation and believes in Ainsworth’s ability to enhance the team’s performance and results. Hoos mentioned that Gareth Ainsworth’s adaptability and willingness to try new approaches were key factors in his hiring. Although an unconventional strategy against Blackburn did not yield the desired outcome, Hoos anticipates positive changes after Ainsworth’s recent adjustments in training.
According to journalist Alan Nixon’s exclusive Patreon report, former manager Michael Beale is interested in returning to QPR if the board decides to part ways with Ainsworth as the head coach.
In the writer’s view, there is no immediate cause for panic regarding QPR’s situation. However, the upcoming match against Huddersfield at home holds significant importance for Ainsworth and the team’s efforts to climb out of the relegation zone. It will be intriguing to observe how long Hoos maintains his support for Ainsworth if the team’s results continue to deteriorate.
