With Dodds being promoted to assistant head coach at least we already know who our next manager is going to be so there will be none of this crap.
I saw people on Twitter saying we should go for Potter. You can’t trust people. People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis.
Beale has 20 years of coaching under his belt, spent 10 years during the good years at Chelsea (2002-2012) and was at Liverpool and had a stint in Brazil. Well renowned for his tactics as a coach and youth development, his rangers stint has ****ed his reputation and he needs to learn from it which I'm sure he will. It's clear he wasn't the main target but you can see why we have appointed him, his background in coaching and youth development is good and with top top clubs too. Everyone has a bad spell and his was Rangers and even then he had them with their second highest win percentage in their history. I have a feeling he can do well here but since a lot of fans think he is the antichrist he won't have too long to win them over
Potter was (is) on £200k per week at Chelsea. They'll still be paying him until he gets a new job. Can you imagine him coming here on £10k per week and managing in The Championship?
There are good reports and bad reports. Looking forward to the match reports so I can make a decision.
Well said. Every manager fails somewhere - Mowbray also failed in Scotland...... did ok for us though
He’s here now so needs to be given a chance. Win on Saturday everything changes and fair play to the club for not taking notice of some of us and sticking to their plan.
One thing Rangers fans had an gripe about was him setting up not to lose. Interesting to see how that would work here because it’s something I’ve mentioned for a while, we concede at the first given opportunity and where we can’t win we often lose rather than seeing out a draw. Making us solid at the back will only be a good thing imo, we’ll still create more than enough chances to win games.
It just goes to show how it's easy to peddle a particular narrative on social media and watch it grow. Sure the podcasts and the like will be up in arms preferring a European coach they had never heard of a week ago. I hope he does well, there are no guarantees with any appointment but it helps if you have a vision and staff that share the same values. Just cos he was a failure at rangers doesn't mean he can't succeed here.
I reckon this will a top appointment by us, i think we will be all surprised by this in time especially if we have dodds working with him, two top coaches for youngsters
He also had a better record at QPR than TM had here albeit a much smaller sample size. Worth noting that when he left QPR last season they were 6th and finished 20th eventually. He actually had them top of the league at one point.
I’m not exactly a fan of it, but I wasn’t a fan of Mowbray’s appointment either. So I’ll give him a proper chance. Haway Beale, surprise us.
