Its just cold business. Premier league club comes after him and look he is ready to go…. After four or five months he comes here he is ready to go just like that<doh> Is he really unsure there wont be a second chance to him for a premier league job. Bloody hell.. the way he started with there will be plenty chances for him. Yet,… he is going for the first possible one and to the club who might be relegated from the prem if he failed in the job. I will be deeply disaipointed of him if he goes…

To date MB has patiently built up a CV which has prepared him for a Managers job. I just hope that he continues to be patient.

He is undoubtably ambitious and wants to be in the Premier league, but I hope that he will be chosey as regards where he will go, rather than take the first offer.

Currently he may have a genuine dilemma of "Premiership football & much more money" vs. "results with his 1st managerial position".

I hope that he chooses "patience". He has great initial results at QPR and could possibly take us at his first attempt which would be impressive. If not, then other clubs should be knocking at his door.

Mick Beale will soon manange a Premiership club. It is only a question of when.

Unfortunately we have no impact upon the decsion and we can only just wait and see.
 
Trying not to speak from a selfish or biased view, I actually think Beale going to Wolves would be a major error on his part.
Top of the league, exceeded many fans expectations already and his stock is high.
A move to the club that changes managers more frequently than the government does chancellors is a totally different ball game.
We are a team on the up, with a positive vibe and some great young talent. Wolves are a team, lacking identity, going in the wrong direction and where success maybe defined by staying up. He could actually damage his own, (so far very short) credibility. Personally I think he should see how far he can take us this season and if it results in success then he has reached the premier league, a top six finish would still put him on that pedestal of coaching talent, attractive to clubs like Wolves and maybe even bigger teams.

Excellent post, Bob

The truth is, Beale is still unproven. It's early days in the season and we haven't seen how he manages when things get tough. We could all be debating whether or not he should manage in the EPL but find later that we finish mid table.

Beale is obviously very ambitious and also very confident about his own ability to manage in the PL, but I agree that it could be a big mistake on his part to take the Wolves job right now. Much better for him (and us, of course) to see where he can get to this season with QPR and take stock in the summer. There'll be other offers.

Just saw him interviewed on Sky and he said he hasn't spoken to anyone yet about the Wolves situation and talked about 31 games to go for QPR.

Fingers crossed.

In that respect, both Beale and QPR need to make an announcement and put this to bed if he is not going, ASAP.
 
Well, that was a thoroughly enjoyable notional 50th QPR anniversary evening. Meeting up with Raving and Terry (ex of this parish) at the C&S pre match after my little personal homage earlier, just about getting to the ground for kick off, seeing us go hell for leather from the start. I don’t know if Beale, or the situation with Beale, fired up the players but they were really up for it, we looked great even before the sending off, which felt like it happened very early but was in fact 18th minute. Very harsh decision from my perspective. From then on the shots just rained in, have a look at the stats, it could have been a lot more. Hard to judge the defence but Balogun and Clarke Salter look our strongest CB pairing and the full backs, the key to our season, were sensational again, though Chair my pick for man of the match.

Fell asleep on a packed train back home, but fortunately woke up just in time. I’ll leave the Beale crap for the Beale threads.

Well done you Rs!

Why oh why has he taken Armstrong off. Let the lad play
Beale mentioned this in his long interview this morning, after explaining why he is staying - “Sinclair came out for the second half and cramped up everywhere”

Roberts was rested last night, will probably be back on Saturday.

I once applied for the Everton job as a laugh about 20 years ago. I actually got a reply from Bill Kenwright which is somewhere in my mother's cellar.
I applied for the England job after the Hoddle debacle.
I got a nice letter from the FA saying I didn't have the right qualifications.


Which was true I suppose

never a pen or a RC.
I'd be livid if an 'ardiff fan.
Spoilt the game but who cares!

I thought the foul a couple of minutes before also by Simpson too could have been a penalty.


It probably was a penalty, on Armstrong....the two players really went for him from both sides...but not a red card I agree.

At the time I thought the card was for dissent after the foul, but it seems not now

Soft penalty imo. Never a goal scoring opportunity as he'd lost control of the ball and it was running through to the keeper.
Couldn't care less of course and Armstrong was superb first half.
Imagine him occupying defenders when both Chair and Willock are behind him.
