In a way its good timing Gerrard being sacked immediately after Beale rebuffed Wolves and reaffirmed his commitment to us. It would be a u-turn of Liz Truss-like proportions to change his stance now.The Beale speculation has already started.
Aston Villa: Who are the contenders to replace Steven Gerrard

Villa are a more attractive option, even if in a relegation scrap. But their fans will be more demanding for an instant improvement.
I doubt that Beale will change his stance and integrity in a 24 hour period.
I guess that we should get used to his name being linked with vacant jobs.
I wish Mick Beale every success for the future and mat it be with us for as long as possible.
Let’s focus on Saturday’s home match against Wigan and then the next away match at Birmingham. Two more wins would be the best response for MB’s CV.
Agree Villa are arguably a more attractive option but their fans are pretty horrible.
