I don’t want Beale at all after some of the names mentioned but just putting it out there that the grief he got from Rangers fans was ridiculous. Of managers who lasted more than 15 games he had the 2nd highest win percentage of any manager they’ve ever had at 70%. He just didn’t win a trophy unfortunately because Celtic had a much better squad and Ange.
https://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/339107-the-michael-beale-thread/ I asked again today for info on Beale from a Rangers mate just sent me a link to one of their forums Doesnt make great reading. They absolutely hated the him First post "Not good enough, a coach, never a manager, his signings are terrible and he doesn't have the ability to change games, **** off now."
I mean this is all mightily impressive and certainly sounds like an asset to the club. If he was to come in on the coaching side rather than as gaffer looks like a real coup. Maybe he wants back into coaching and the press have got wind and linked to gaffer. Feels like the kind of bloke the club would be interested in for sure in some capacity. I only knew him as the bloke who did half a great job at QPR and then simply couldn’t compete with a far stronger Celtic at Rangers. I’ll always take Old Firm fans opinions with a grain of salt (several good long term pals) as it’s so insular up there. It’s never gonna be ‘he did well with us’ it’s gonna be ‘we couldn’t beat Celtic’. I get this of course but not a full picture. Rangers have had the ‘next great thing’ several times and none of them have been, Beale, Gerrard, Van Bronkhurst. All been supposedly special then failed. Hard to gauge. Easier if someone competes with Aberdeen or Hearts or Hibs to say they’ve done bits.
Beyond incredible what he’s done there. On solid foundations as well. Don’t know much about the setup of the club but they’ve done well in Europe too absolutely pumped Roma and Mourinho
Both massive clubs but we do have the England factor. Ajax had a wild ride this season but they are flying now.
The grief he got from the Rangers fans was justified. Look at the signings he made when he was there. They’ve been disasters.
Who did he sign? And was he in control of transfers? Completely unrelated to him but watched Rangers last night and they were superb.
Just had a look at the Norwegian league (very sad I know) Bodo were absolutely gash until he took over. Last 5 years under him they haven't been out of the top 2 quite impresive.
