    It's an interesting statement. Very little about Beale, just about Dodds replacing him. Been very carefully worded. Wonder whats actually happened.

    Should never have hired the spiv in the first place absolutely idiot bit of decision making - just happy that speakman et al has got the balls to admit he got it wrong and do something about it

    Just you:

    Reads ‘disappointed it didn’t work out. We ****ed up. Sorry. We have moved to fix it’.

    It’s strong statement for me.

    I don’t. Not one bit. He’ll have been well paid and performed terribly. Spoke **** on numerous occasions and didn’t take much responsibility. Bye.

    I definitely feel for him. Was doomed to fail and it was clear from the moment it leaked and the fans reacted how they did. Not saying it’s the fans fault, just that in hindsight the club should probably have read the room then.

    What's really pleasing, out of this testing time, is that this was probably decided at Birmingham ...

    ... perhaps even before.

    The players going in on Sunday turned out to be what we thought it might be.

    But, to the credit of the club it was handled properly and not leaked. I'd been asked on Saturday if I'd heard anything by an RTG lad who'd heard a rumour. So I messaged the newspaper journalist I know who'd heard nothing, although he did say 'we're not big news any more', the tosser. Bob the Mackem had heard nothing, etc.

    I suspect the players have been using Beale's presence as an excuse but Dodds knows them all ...

    ... if they have done that, the excuse has just left the building.

    A txt off a best mate Wolverhampton supporter.

    "Good job you have fùcked that Beale off.
    Arrogant twàt,.
    He said the fans didn't like him because of his accent.
    He turned Wolves down saying he wanted to stay loyal to QPR.
    Then he fúcked off, Tosser of a man."

    Well it's all over now. He's gone. It's now time to focus on the lads and get behind them and to give our full support to Dodds to get them playing well again build confidence until the end of the season and see where we end up. Pointless dissecting things to much. Mistakes have probably been made but it's behind us now. Let's start focusing on the future again.

    Would be very interested to know which players had something to say considering how young the group is

    We should have just kept him instead of increasing his bank balance by a chunk, in the meantime shafting the club?????? WTAF

    I dont understand some supporters if they actually are supporters.. People on this board will have lost their jobs and got next to nothing in compensation. The mistake made here was not getting a decent replacement lined up for Mowbray and appointing this bloke, I have no sympathy at all for him

    Yeh actually I don’t necessarily feel sorry for him. More that I have empathy that he was in a difficult situation. But it was a situation he wanted to be in and backed himself to succeed in, and he didn’t.

    Shortest tenure of any permanent gaffer for us. Ever. Says it all how bad of an appointment it was.

    Onwards and upwards. Dodds will at least have the players on board. We won't make play offs but they have time to sort the board stuff out whilst working out who the best man is

    Lost the players, lost the fans.... Only ends one way. Let's take our time and find someone better than him next time and start afresh in the summer.

    It’s undoubtedly the best decision for the club, done and dusted so get behind Dodds and let’s see what the rest of the season holds.
