Hoping tomorrow is the day for Beale. Be great to have him in this week and taking coaching. I think having a few days ahead of the festive period to start getting to know each other is going to be key. The appt has already taken longer than I would have preferred.
I am 100% in the Beale camp. I see no evidence for the feeling of being underwhelmed of even angry. He has been in the very best coaching structures for 20 years. He is obsessed by the game and by his own learning. He looks better than Still, Helberg etc every time I look at the records and the experience they will have gained. I couldnt give a toss if he uses buzzwords, or mgt speak, not one toss. If the players understand it, and I suspect they will easily, then it is all that matters. I am convinced he is a perfect fit for us, and do not underestimate his knowledge of young players and his contacts to get a loan deal smoothed. If at the end of the day his press conferences are annoying I will turn them off. I was a huge fan of Mowbray, but I rarely watched his press conferences because I didnt really think he enjoyed giving them and they were stale. I cant wait to see what Beale does with these players, who are still learning the game mostly. The next piece of the puzzle for some of them is how to play different types of games, or different in game situations, and I hope Beale is the sort of coach that can give them that knowledge. Lets get cracking now, starting tomorrow.
