The fact is that Beale has no track record whatsoever in management, a couple of good months and one very bad at QPR.

Aye but he's a good bloke.

I said earlier in the thread that whilst I am not against Beale being appointed, it just smacks of an unimaginative appointment but that just mirrors the current board to be honest. 

 

On the plus side, Beale gets us and bought into the Rangers ethos, knows the club, knows the majority of the squad and knows the league. Under SG we certainly knew how to beat Celtic and never really got turned over. 

 

However, it will be interesting to hear what's changed in 12 months given the sudden departure of SG and his team and the "nobody knows what happened" comments.

 

As fans we have no other option other than to get behind Beale (and I'm sure we will). We need to see improvement and stability and hopefully Beale (or whomever) can deliver.

 

As others have said, no matter who we appoint (given the market we are shopping in) there will always be a risk attached to any appointment.

He's had it tough at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, right enough.  

 

He dresses like a ponce, spits non-stop and wears a wee separatist ribbon.  

Thanks. For a moment there, I thought someone was going to come back with a nonsensical answer...

Why try the misdirect ?  That wasnt what you originally asked or asserted.

 

You said you didn't want Knutsen because he has no British experience and may not be able to cope.  I merely stated that Ange had no British experience and has won the league last year and looking increasingly likely to win it this year.

 

Ange was a better appointment than Gio, that's for sure.  I wouldnt ever want anyone that has managed for them to manage us.  But that also is irrelevant to your original assertion.

Ange is a diddy who has got very lucky. No tactical ability. Only won the title last year due to VAR not being in place/ dodgy officials. Knocked out of FOUR European tournaments in just over a year. If we signed someone with that (lack of) pedigree it would end in disaster. Ange does not disprove the theory that an inexperienced manager from a poor foreign league is not what we can afford to take a chance on. Gio had at least won a Dutch title and knew our club therefore on paper looks a much better appointment than Ange, who will be out the door in under 12 months from now IF (big if!) we make the right appointment. I meant would you have been happy had we appointed Ange instead of Gio (and he hadn’t joined them a few months before). I don’t think many Bears would have been happy with that. 
 

However I will concede that it is not fair to generalise as a lot is down to the individual and not their history, so if it’s a foreigner from Norway or wherever like that Bodo guy then he will get full backing.

Jock Wallace, Graeme Souness, Walter Smith?

Don't be in a huff at me because of the supreme court decision.

Willie Waddell was working for a red top writing football news for years before becoming a European cup winning Rangers manager.

 

If it fits it fits.

He was hardly a rookie though. He managed Killie to their only league title in 1965 prior to that.
