He was soon appointed assistant manager to Graham Carr at Blackpool, and when Carr was sacked in November 1990, Ayre was promoted in his place.

Roy Calley is an English Journalist. He works for the BBC in London, but was brought up in Blackpool, Lancashire.

When Carr left, Blackpool were lying in eighteenth position in the Division Four table; six months later, however, the team had qualified for the play-offs after losing only five of their remaining thirty games. It was during this period that two new (and still existing) club records were set: thirteen consecutive home wins in what turned out to be a twenty-four-game unbeaten run at Bloomfield Road. Bloomfield Road has been the home of English football club Blackpool Football Club since 1899 Their good fortune came undone at the last hurdle, however, when they lost in a penalty shoot-out to Torquay United in the final at Wembley and remained in the Fourth Division for another season.

Ayre was able to keep largely the same team together and guided them back to Wembley the following 1991-92 season in which they finally gained promotion after another, more successful penalties experience. Scunthorpe United were the unlucky team on this occasion. Scunthorpe United Football Club are an English Association football team based in the town of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. Blackpool had booked their place in the new Division Two. From 1892 until 1992 the Football League Second Division was the second highest division overall in English football.

[14]
Ayre achieved not only promotion but subsequently survival with very little financial backing from Oyston. [15] During this period, players such as Alan Wright, Paul Groves, and, most notably, Trevor Sinclair all left the club for bigger and better things. Alan Geoffrey Wright (born 28 September 1971 in Ashton-under-Lyne) is an English professional footballer who is currently on non-contract Paul Groves (born 28 February 1966 in Derby, England) is an English former footballer who notably captained Grimsby Trevor Lloyd Sinclair (born 2 March, 1973 in Dulwich, London) is an English footballer who is currently without a club after being Despite this, Ayre's sides battled, grafted, and occasionally shocked sides with far greater resources at their disposal.

Ayre's next stop was Scarborough, where he arrived in August 1994, some twenty years after playing for the Yorkshiremen. His reign at the McCain Stadium lasted just four months, after he was sacked for failing to turn around the Division Three strugglers.

Non-League football is football in England played at a level below that of the Premier League and The Football League. Southport Football Club are an English football club based in Southport, Merseyside. Ayre had guided the Sandgrounders to a third-placed finishing position.
In March 1996, Ayre was asked by new Swansea City boss Jan Mølby to be his assistant, but the duo arrived too late to prevent the Swans from sliding into Division Three.

See also Cancer A tumor or tumour is the name for a swelling or lesion formed by an abnormal growth of cells (termed neoplastic [17] "This came as a complete shock," he said at the time.

"[18]
"There will be changes," he continued. "I will be tweaking a few things, and we will be looking at the playing system. I'm still stunned about what has happened, but we have to revitalise and rejuvenate the team quickly. Frank Burrows brought me to Cardiff and did everything within his power for the club. But we have to look forward, we have to work quickly. That's what Frank would want. "
Regarding the tumor, Ayre said: "That wasn't something which bothered me too much. That may sound strange, but it was outside my control, so I got on with things. Now the Cardiff City job has been given to me, albeit temporarily for now, and that is within my control. I haven't spoken to Frank yet, because he has gone away. But I will talk to him soon. "[18]
Also regarding his tumor, he stated: "I'm not at all frightened. I know the risks. The odds of people not even surviving the treatment are 20-1, but that doesn't bother me. I've backed a few 20-1 winners in my time. One in four people get cancer, and I'm pleased it's me and not somebody else in my family. I'd rather take it, because I think I can deal with it. "[19]
Ayre stayed on beyond the end of the season despite the Bluebirds falling back into Division Three. He was demoted to assistant manager when owner Sam Hammam installed Bobby Gould in August 2000.

Ayre's final job in football came within weeks of leaving Cardiff. He joined Division Two side Bury as assistant to Andy Preece, who played for him at Blackpool, but in the spring of 2001 it was found that the lymph node cancer he had initially been diagnosed with in 1995 had returned.

During the service, Revd. Heather Penman related an event that had touched Ayre during the final year of his life.

[23] "I expect he did that famous fist sign as they took him in," said Penman. "And Elaine said Billy was absolutely delighted by that gesture. "[23]
"He was a fantastic fella, I couldn't speak highly enough about him," said Phil Brown, who played alongside Ayre at Hartlepool United and Halifax Town and under him at the latter.
