Beale is here! Mickey Beale’s Blue and White Army!

I guess his reputation will partly be driven by how well he did in managing those U23s teams and the players he developed while coaching there. Just like Guardiola cut his teeth managing the Barca second string.

While I'm obviously not saying this guy will be the new Pep, if clubs like Barca can give coaches a first senior managerial job based on the strength of their youth coaching then we shouldn't have any qualms doing the same.

 

Most of the bookies have stopped showing prices. And the few that are do not include the villa bloke.

More stuff on Beale. He certainly deserves a chance somewhere, so why not us?

 

Was hoping a new manager would be announced by weeks end.

Time and opportunities are passing us by.

Hurry up.

 

Beale does sound like someone you’d get excited about coming in.

 

I'm already excited. If we appoint him I will understand a lot more of why we said goodbye to Warburton, even if I still feel it was a tad harsh.

 

He fits the criteria of what I was hoping for.

 

He’s not Tim Sherwood?

 

I am away with fading phone. Please someone let me know on here when we hear anything.

 

I would expect something around 1st June now.

More likely to get something around 1st July the way things are going.

 

Sounds almost too good to be true.
If he does come in, hope we give him support.

 

If he pays me £6,000 I’m prepared to give him a go

 

There are probably 1 or 2 of those sportsman bras lieing around somewhere.

 

Blackburn keen on Beale too apparently ! This is all dragging on for too long now.

 

Yup, not even a hint of an announcement.......time and players are trickling away

 

I reckon come Wednesday June the 1st someone will be announced

 

They’ll probably get him and we’ll get Chris Ramsey

 

Knowing our club, we'll probably end up with the wrong Chris Ramsey....

 

Robinson even money fav now ! Ffs this is becoming a proper ****show
