Blimey lads. I go for a bit of golf and come back to this <laugh>. Honestly think there is a lot of anger and despair here, that isnt really warranted, not about Beale anyway.

I posted last night about his coaching record and experience. Real elite level stuff. Puts some of the experience of the so called young upcoming European coaches experience in the shade. I hear lads at Villa and Liverpool who saw him work and they say he is absolutely brilliant. So we have a head coach, whose reputation as a coach is unreal.

I think this country has been seduced by the prospect of young european coaches. It is the De Zerbi factor at the minute. I have been banging on for a while on here that a lot of it is emporers new clothes stuff. The young british coaches are every bit as qualified, imnovative, tactically aware etc. Dont let the narrative about the super powers folk like Still have kid you on would be my advice.

As for all the talk I read on here today about man management skills. I often here about bad man management, but nearly always from players who arent playing, dropped or want away. I never give any credit to fans of old clubs opinions - it is always the ones who like a whinge will whinge. I have a celtic supporting mate and he says rangers fans are all daft <laugh><laugh>. Seriously, what he does say is under Ange they were on a different level and Rangers squad was miles behind them, but he doesnt think Beale was the main reason. Imagine losing a league to Ange, who now seems to be showing his ability at Spurs, and that being seen as failure.

I honestly dont see any reason why this lad shouldnt do a better job than any of the ones folk were salivating over these last 2 weeks. The evidence isnt there. I fear a bit for him because fans didnt take to LJ because of how he spoke, and Beale will talk in similar ways. Hope folk can get beyond that and judge him on performances on the pitch.

Lastly, I have commented on KLD and Speakmans talk after Mowbray. In spite of all of my defence of Beale, I do not believe for one minute they would have had him on a shortlist of 2 or 3, when they decided Mowbray was to go. I suspect they have fallen for the foreign coaches are better story like so many. So this has the look of another poor effort somewhere in terms of head coach recruitment. I dont think it is knee jerk, but they seemingly havent been able to get who they would have targeted. KLD demands elite performance culture across the club. He might just get that with Beale, but I would be asking why we have twice now stumbled through a process after getting rid of a gaffer. Doesnt look very elite to me. I have voiced concern before about whether are attractive for coaches as we think we are. I have to say our record of firing coaches is awful, and not getting better. I honestly think some who might want think we arent to be trusted to keep our end of the bargain. Coaches want time, it isnt anymore like the old firefighter coaches, or those who buy their team, it is a longer process now. We dont allow time and it goes against us.

Now, onto letting Beale do his job. I reckon after a nights kip, a win tomorrow, we all might start to look forward to what might be, rather than what might have been. Haway the lads.

Great post mate, very well considered.

I've not read/heard enough about Beale like you have, but he starts with a blank slate like everyone else does.

I never understand these overreactions. We see it all the time with players and managers. Fans having meltdowns, then they're proven wrong, then they create a thread on a forum "holding their hands up" and feel like they deserve some kind of respect for admitting it. How about just giving the bloke a chance and acting like a grown adult in the first place?

Beale will take us further than Mowbray would.
