Back-to-back wins have boosted spirits around the Adams Park camp, but even in times of struggle, the focus has remained on the process.

From the takeover in February 2020, the club has undergone a remarkable transition on and off the pitch to propel the Buckinghamshire side to one of the league’s big hitters.

Scepticism surrounded the takeover but in the two years they’ve controlled the club, all of those fears have disappeared.

Ainsworth, who managed from the infancy of the Trust’s ownership to the present day is delighted with the structure.

He said: “This is not a business venture for them, it’s about making Wycombe Wanderers better because they love the club.

“It was a big challenge to take this club on with a lot of hoops to jump through.

“We wouldn’t have made the Championship without Pete, Rob and Missy.”

In the first full season under their ownership the acquisitions of Daryl Horgan, Uche Ikpeazu and Jason McCarthy showed their intent.

The days of signing players backed by fan donations are of a distant memory.

Off the pitch, the board has embarked on improving the experience at Adams Park. ‘Lifetime’ season tickets, advertising boards and proposals for a new training ground have all helped the club strive forward.

The creation of the development squad has proved to be lucrative.

Anis Mehmeti and Chris Forino have been the highlights with the likes of Olly Pendlebury, Andre Burley and Tjay De Barr all bolstering the ranks.

Wycombe’s aim for the season remains an immediate return to the Championship, however, the process takes priority.

Ainsworth said: “The club is growing and Rob has a real understanding of the process.

“He understands that it can’t happen overnight.

“Too many clubs try and do that and come a cropper.

“Myself, Rob and Pete won’t let this club suffer that fate.”

Brandon Hanlan and Sam Vokes have proved to be stellar signings by adding serious quality to the Chairboys’ frontline.

The pair have combined for a tally of 18 goals and eight assists this season.

In January, there was clamour amongst the supporters for multiple additions. Jack Young and Lewis Wing were scooped up late in the window with the latter already proving fruitful.

Patience and progression is the mantra around Marlow Road, as it has been since Ainsworth took over 500 games ago.

Championship football is in the club’s sights, but in the peripheral lingers the doldrums of non-league which they so nearly faced.
