I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the MLS, Mexico or South America. I dont think a decent profile team in Europe will touch him given his recent form and conditioning.

That's an important point, renewing a players contract isn't just a case of giving them a pay rise or similar terms. There will be a likely large signing on fee for the player and agent which wont fall short of a fee for some players we have bought recently. Its ok to increase the players value but its only really adding value to us if they perform well or we sell them on for a decent fee.

Absolutely, perhaps its something we as a support need to see play out in order to set expectations. And our board are still learning about running a football club. Successful businessmen in thier own right but running a football club (especially one in our situation) I'm sure is a massive learning experience for them.

The aim should not be 'lets be big' but to scale up in terms of quality and potentially sellable assets. Putting all your eggs in the Kent and Morelos baskets then letting them walk out the door for nothing will hopefully be something we learn from. Not selling Kamara when he was in top form is something we will regret. Having players around the 30 mark as your top earners, who as a result of age have little resale value will prove to be ill judged. Its ok to have one or two like Goldson who is definitely worth it. But having a bunch (Tav, Goldson, Lundstram, Lawrence & Roofe) means that if we fail to make Europe one year we cant sell to make up the shortfall and cut the wage bill at the same time. I also dont agree with the approach of going in heavy on Bosman players unless its a profile like Bassey/Aribo. Sakala/Lundstram/Lawrence are expensive and have little resale value.

Various reliable sources on Twitter like David Ornstien, @Monthegoats and H&H saying it’ll be announced tomorrow.

Gio on Instagram posted a rather nice farewell but in it he said: I faced unique challenges and some very difficult circumstances to operate in. Shots fired 👀?

Yes memes are funny

So I read the headline thinking he may have a point. But then i read the article and have no real idea what his point is. He then at the end of the article goes off on a tangent about Celtc selling Juranovic as he won’t sign a new deal and what great business that is. Not sure what that’s got to do with Beale. A great example of why the MSM is dying. I’ve read far better posts on here, never mind some of the blog posts from 4lads etc that blow Gary Keowns rubbish out of the water.

Interesting that many favour Dyche who doesn’t seem to interest any EPL clubs over Beale who just KB’d Wolves, who seem to be a well run club tbh. Maybe coincidence or maybe they know something we don’t. The more I think about it the more it’s a fit for us. Don’t think we were ever going to get a Seaone or a Knutsen. Seaone will probably pop up at Lyon or a similar stature club in Italy/Spain in a few months. We need to target someone with an upside and I think if we looked at a managerial profile like Beales who didn’t have a connection to us there would probably be the same question marks over the appointment but also a bit of excitement over the potential. I just hope Ross Wilson can work wonders to refresh the squad for him. We need some hungry and fit bodies in while moving out the non contributors and high earners for decent fees while we still can.

For me depends how much backing in the transfer market he gets. A cup and a few wins v them and we will be looking good for next season IMO

Multiple outlets reporting we have contacted QPR matter of time now.

We seem to take forever to do anything. Other clubs turn this around far quicker. If we could have moved quicker appointing Gio we might not have been skelped by Hibs in the LC semis. That’s still on the board for me.

Just ordered a Rangers hoody. They can put that towards the next Glen Kamara. All aboard.

Sound quality is terrible. If Dave King is such a smart guy maybe he shouldn't use a potato as a microphone. My pet hate is people using laptop speakers for calls. Its 2022.

I know 🤣

Here's a tactical review for the VL's of Gersnet. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/michael-beale-at-queens-park-rangers-2022-23-tactical-analysis-tactics

Oddly enough Clark and Josh Barrie never mentioned it this morning on thier daily update.. 🥸

I'm not convinced tbh. Agree on the lazy part tho.

I think that's fair. Where the real frustration comes is when you have this yet dont create any clear cut quality goal scoring opportunities. Something we were guilty of under Gerrard and Gio.

Agree fully. I also think Ben Davies was a bit of a lazy/daft signing. Spending 4 million and a presumably high wage on a guy from Liverpool who will have no resale value when we could have spent half that on a Patrick Caskie special from Scandinavia or eastern Europe and have some left over for a midfielder. Actually spending money on a midfielder. Knee trembling stuff. Buying players from Scandinavia seems to be good enough for EPL clubs, Italian clubs, German clubs. But not us. Odd.

Well it looks like Beale is the man. I have confidence in him, I'm 100% sure we will have games where we will have the horseshoe and pointless crossing into the box but I cant see us being as slow and ponderous at times. He has been here and won the league. Will be interested to know what and who will make up his coaching staff. Rumours of Culshaw coming back which if true is welcome. NO MORE FLOATY OUTSWINGERS PLS. Also interesting to see what he can do as his own man and what kind of backing the board can give him. I'd personally be listening to offers for anyone, that includes Tav and Goldson. I'm not sure the player trading model works having your highest paid players having little resale value. Letting him go and get his own players in. The dressing room needs gutted. Perhaps the likes of Knutsen and Seaone were never an option. Who knows. All that matters is that the man is willing to come and take on the challenge. Without that there is no point discussing names.

We appointed a top European coach in Le Guen who massively flopped but hiring McLeish turned out to be inspired. Sometimes things just fall into place.
