    I understand the deflation. I was so looking forward to tomorrow on a crest of a wave and now I just feel like I’ve been kicked in the gonads

    Even though our fans were underwhelmed when we appointed both Neil and Mowbray, outsiders and fans of their previous clubs praised the appointments. This time I can't find anyone praising the appointment.

    If I had a penny for every time Sunderland baffled me with their decision making, I'd have £5.63.

    Not so bothered about Mowbray leaving for Beale, it’s more who we were linked with and the “young european manager” excitement to what we’ve ended up with.

    FWIW Beales record with QPR was better than Mowbrays at Sunderland and every other English club he’s manager whilst his record with Rangers was hugely better than Moggas at Celtic. He’s still only just starting his managerial career too.

    Slightly underwhelmed, still looking forward to tomorrow, still trust the club. If it's true.

    As disappointing as this is, I will reserve judgement till Speakman and KLD give their reasons and he has a few games under his belt. Like it or lump it, we don't make the choice of Manager/Coach.. Lets see what happens before he is written off.

    People said the same when TM got the job, and he turned out ok. Only time will tell

    I know it’s knee jerk of me, but it’s actually an appointment that does make me question the club. Feels like a panicked “make do” appointment, appointing the guy who wanted it the most and was easiest to do business with, perhaps after a couple of knockbacks on compensation.

    I hope in 2 years we look back at this post and laugh at me. I’m just incredibly, incredibly disappointed

    Imo this is a shocking appt, really disappointed and anyone who knows me since ive posted ive always backed the club but i really dont like this appt

    I liked the appts of neil n TM, thought they were upgrades on what we had but beale is not an upgrade

    Cracking coach but shocking man management skills, my mate at work is best mates with a rangers player n he said beale massively struggled on the man management side. Tactically he is very poor and his press conferences are shocking - @Prehab26 mentioned about the corporate speak and thats exactly how he is, he will rile a lot of our fans up

    I hope he has learned from the rangers job tho and brings in a quality no2

    His training is meant to be brilliant from what ive heard just struggles with motivating the players - rangers dont have a great dressing room so he might just not have been suited to them

    Heres hoping theyve nailed another appt and he will def have my backing

    Yeh but fans of other clubs all told us we were silly to worry about him and that he was a good appointment. This time they’re all laughing at us

    And lost every big game they had. One win against Celtic came after the title was decided and Celtic played a B team. Success in Scotland is not based on win percentage it's based on wins in the derby and your trophy count
