Beale Hume blah blah blah. Maybe he did ignore him. Maybe he was thinking in the moment “you’ve just lost me my job by not doing yours”. Natural human reaction. He had the huff. Doesn’t matter now though does it.
I've said it before, I think that was initially the plan anyway and had dodds in charge till then. I wouldn't be surprised if Beales contract had some kind of clause about reaching the play offs. I don't think dodds would have faired much better than Beale as neither are head coach material. The club possibly looked at beales reputation as a top coach, thought him and dodds might have made a good pairing, if it was a success happy days if not go back to plan A and bring Still in the summer. I think he was always the target but thought as he's not available right now that a Beale/Dodds combo might have been better than just Dodds. I don't think for one second they thought the backlash would have been as bad as it was. I personally don't think Dodds would have been much better than Beale so position wise nothing has really changed and hopefully we end up with their no1 target
You may well be right. Beale wasn't taking any chances ... ... unemployed, didn't have to move home, guaranteed some kind of payoff. I don't think the club would've committed to a hefty contract either.
It is first appt that hasnt progressed us. But I have a nagging feeling he was tempted by Keane, and I think he thought he could get candidates when ousting Mowbray but failed. Those would constitute mistakes in my opinion. It will be interesting to see how the end of season reviews play out. I am sure he will have his own performance review with KLD and I wouldnt mind being a fly on the wall. It maybe he ends up failing on his targets and it could be cheerio. Just my thinking at the minute
