If Ainsworth doesn't take the QPR job then you have to wonder what else he's holding out for.
Even if he got Wycombe promoted again their resources likely mean they'd be straight back down, and although on a bad run QPR are a fairly solid championship side who he played for for years. I don't see him getting many better offers and he probably doesn't even need to move house.
could just be he's happy where he is .. the current managerial turnover rate could be a disinsentive for him .. he joins (say) QPR, doesn't get them where the owners think they should be and he's sacked .. Wycombe don't want him back, where does he go to feel as comfortable as he did with the Chairboys ?
That's true and there's a lot to be said for job satisfaction.
But to flip it the other way, he goes to QPR, does really well and within 12-18 months he's on the radar of some bottom half premier league clubs.
Matt Bloomfield has agreed in principle to become the new manager of Wycombe Wanderers, returning to Adams Park following the departure of Gareth Ainsworth to Queens Park Rangers.
The players were all pushing him to the front of celebrations at the end of the Chelsea game. Clearly well liked with the dressing room, which could be vital in a dog fight at the bottom.
Knee jerk reaction to being just 5 points off relegation.
The fact that 4 teams HAVE to go down each League 1 season so I don't know what owners expect. I have no idea if they spent any money in the summer/January but if they hadn't then it's to be expected.

Not a knee jerk reaction at all:
0 wins in 8 games with 1 point during that period.
Fans favourite Matty Taylor allowed to leave to a L1 rival.
Fans had turned on Robbo, lots of abuse in the ground and online.
0-3 defeat at home to an equally poor form Gas yesterday suggested he had lost the players.
Robbo's post match quote:"the last two months have been as bad as I've had in my career and some of the performances certainly haven't been good enough.It hurts. It hurts me, it hurts the players and equally I know it hurts the fans."
All in all just about the most predictable sacking of the weekend I'd say. It's been coming.
Liam Fox has left his role as Dundee United head coach after five months by mutual consent following Saturday's humiliating defeat by Ross County.
Fox, who stepped up from assistant to replace Jack Ross in September, had been in permanent charge for just 22 matches, winning just six and drawing three.

Gareth Ainsworth has left Wycombe Wanderers after more than a decade in charge to become manager of Championship club Queens Park Rangers.
The 49-year-old has agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract and replaces Neil Critchley, who was sacked after just 12 games in charge.

Crazy to think only 13 managers have been at their club over 3 years, shows how short term managerial really is
