AvfcRigo82 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Beale better hope they try and atleast qualify. I think he needs to win the league this season too or he risks the fans turning on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Celtic fan myself and we've had a really poor window in my opinion but I still don't think Rangers will bridge the gap this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed you've had a quiet window but obviously have too much for the rest of the league except for perhaps The Rangers. It will be interesting to see how Beales new look signings settle in........I thought there were positive signs for this happening last night and were unlucky not too score more thanks to some great goalkeeping and defending. The problem Beale has is that this has to happen quickly otherwise Celtic will open a large gap which in the SPL will be curtains for any thought of a second title. If they don't win in Switzerland and lose any more league points quickly then the Bears den will not be happy.................they expect success when judged against the green half of Glasgow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair enough. Something about him is quite off putting even when he was here. Its a smug arrogance without actually doing anything in the game Like a poor mans Rodgers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a smug arrogance without actually doing anything in the game Like a poor mans Rodgers Yep. I have noticed this about him. It seems since it came to light that he was largely the brains behind the operation and success the first time round at Rangers, then his short time with us (coincidently), it's gone to his head slightly. He takes the QPR job but didn't really stay that long - said no to the Wolves fiasco, before landing up at Ibrox. However, the ego will take a bit of a bruising if he doesn't deliver up there this season. Like you say, he comes across like he's already won a thing or two in the game in his short managerial career so far while failing to remember he's still only a pup in the world of head coaching and hasn't done anything of any significance yet in the game to backup the aura of arrogance he displays.

He should have waited till he made history then left for Leicester. To leave how he did first time round and what he did out of spite, only to return with the situation still the remaining the same like you allude to, just makes him look a tad stupid and reminds me slightly what M'ON did here. Be interesting to see how he gets on in his 2nd stint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Beale was unsurprisingly sacked by Rangers today after losing at home against Aberdeen. I have no idea why he left QPR to join them, it was always going to end in tears. It is a one-horse league now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why he left QPR. It’s weird how his stock has fallen so much so quickly though. It’s not inconceivable that he’d still be No2 at Villa but now he seems like a guy who isn’t going to get any decent offers unless he starts pulling trees up at a club he’d probably have considered beneath him 18 months ago.

Always seemed a bit full of himself. Didn't he turn down the Wolves job? Remember the old adage- make friends on the way up, you'll meet them on the way down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
