According to the original post, Ainscough has said that if he doesn't play at least 15 games next season, he will leave.
Read that as ambition, if you want.
I read it as a threat.
I also read it as foolishness.
The new heads of coaching both have established form for favouring youngsters and giving lads their chance. But attempting to lay down the law is hardly going to get Ainscough off on the right foot with them.
It's a pity he's done this. I've had the impression that the entire slate would be wiped clean once Maguire arrived, and that everyone would be judged on MM's own perception of their quality. Unless Ainscough has been badly misrepresented or misquoted here, it casts him in a bad light. If he has been misrepresented, he, or one of his associates, would do well to get on here double-quick and put the record straight.
We don't know he has done anything so why are you treating it is fact he has, which is the only way to interpret the sentence in bold?
Putting your interpretation on what he allegedly said and as a result concluding he has done something wrong to justify your original position is just perpetuating the rumour.
As to wiping the slate clean in your previous post you said
Quote:We asked the question a few days ago who would be the first player not to respond positively to the new regime, and it looks like we may have an answer already. Much sooner than I thought.
How can he have failed to respond to the new regime when Maguire hasn't even arrived yet?
Ainscough like the rest of the team will be on holiday until pre-season training starts in the middle of next month so there is no new regime doing anything not to respond to.
