New Head Coach

[Jarca]

In my opinion Beale is a great coach and member of a back room team, hes not a head coach/manager. (Caused a massive mess at Rangers and jumped ship at QPR). I would be really disappointed if he came in to heads things up..especially if were interviewing the likes of Still etc.
The lad I know at the club has no news on Beale but admin are getting ready for news to become official on a new person who ever that is.

Maybe Beale coming in has an assistant?

Maybe something in Nixon’s story that the new man is in the crowd tomorrow.

I mentioned him a while back.

Not ITK or anything, was just a random guess.

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.

I think it was more how his team played at Rangers mate which some are hinting out

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."

He would be class, done an unreal job at bodo

His record as a developmental coach is very good indeed and he could absolutely do Doddsy’s job.

My reasoning:

1) He’s always been interested in coaching

His playing career ended early at the age of 21. Instead of spending his savings on the usual things a 21 year old lad would, Beale decided to invest in the Brazilian Soccer Schools franchise, aiming to teach young British kids Futsal. Think five-a-side football, but played with a smaller, low-bounce ball to enhance close control and technical ability.

2) He spent 10 years coaching at Chelsea

Working with Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Guus Hiddink, he helped to develop Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham.

3) Then he went to Liverpool where he really turned heads

Eighteen members of his squad made first-team debuts in the space of two years, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones.

4) THEN… he moved to Brazil become assistant at São Paulo, he learned Portuguese especially for this. He developed his coaching further working with Rogerio Ceni and coached a young Eder Militao, who ended up joining Real Madrid for over £40m.

5) Gerrard poached him and gave him all coaching responsibilities

“What I'll never do is try to do someone else's job when they are better than me at doing it," Gerrard said on The Robbie Fowler Podcast

6) Another quote:

“A lot of people won't have a clue what Michael Beale does on the training pitch, but what he does is really quite special," said Peter Lovenkrands

7) My opinion.

He’s a fantastic coach with an impressive record in youth development. The only blot on his record is that he tried being a Head Coach with mixed results

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

Is it a realistic suggestion marra? How does he set his teams up ?

Was heavily linked with Celtic and Ajax in the summer but turned them both down apparently

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.
