    More like a laughing stock. I'd have been laughing if Stoke or Swansea appointed him, but no, he ends up here FFS.

    Speaking for myself, I was a damn site more underwhelmed by Mowbray signing than this appointment..and that didn't turn out to be the worst thing thats happened to this club

    He is like LJ on steroids and players will hate him after a month if things are not going well.

    IF this is true then as I learnt from the appointment of TM its better to wait and see, however when TM was appointed I read lots of positive posts about his playing style, ability with to improve the younger players etc.

    I'm not seeing that with Beale

    We were virtually in relegation form, lost at home to Huddersfield and couldn't come close to beating 10 men ...

    ... another month, like that, and we'd have been out of touch.

    I just don't think a sexy European appointment at this point of season was really feasible

    I hope it's a 'to the end of the season' approach.

    Gives him time to prove he is the right man for the job, or he fails miserably and falls flat on his face and we finish mid table or lower.

    That's fair, but Rangers spent the most they've spent in decades this summer and sacked him 2 month later and are now playing much better under someone else

    Cannot believe after all the exciting names put into the ring we seem to end up with a good coach but failed manager like Beale.
    I saw what he did with Rangers ... not good for his cv.
    Give me Dodds any day.

    I Lived in Glasgow and still spend a lot of time up there. My phone hasn't stopped. All the same crack you mentioned. Tactically inept bad man management but most of all just a really unlikeable character who most of the Rangers players hated. Like you hope I'm wrong but this has potential to go very badly wrong.

    Yeah i understood that at the time but now hes been replaced with Beale.
    Remember Mogga has had to spend most of his time with us with an injury ravaged squad and if that hadnt been the case we'd arguably be in the Prem now. The players loved him and reports say the dressing room was full of disappointment and hurt when he got sacked.
    If that was to sacrifice an exciting managerial appointment id understand abit more, but all weve done is bring in another Lee Johnson.
