I think Danks may take more responsibility if/when Beale leaves. Who knows? I would say the majority of us don't know our elbows from our arses on a coaching pitch. However, I think it is a sign of a poor manager if they struggle without a certain coach. Agreed. If Gerrard isn't able to cope with a coach leaving from time to time whilst keeping the wagon rolling, no matter how integral they may seem, then we should probably bin him off too. I'm hopeful that isn't the case. It's not like we have been pulling up tress under the current setup anyway, so maybe a change will do us good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If totally hypothetically I was gonna become Liverpool manager one day, I know who I would love to have as my assistant, Xabi Alonso." Fingers crossed! I feel like he'd be great for no reason at all.

I disagree with that; Clough was never quite the same after he fell out with Peter Taylor. Wenger never reached the same heights after Pat Rice left. Other side of the coin, yes, Ferguson was able to reshuffle with multiple assistants, as has been Mourinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a coaching staff is similar to a team in that the combination has to be right. Mourinho and Ferguson were/are adaptable and have that philosophy of change being good, whereas the Clough/Taylor thing was always about the balance - I think Taylor kept Clough grounded to a certain extent and you're right, he was never as good without Taylor. Wenger replaced Rice with Bould because Arsenal couldn't defend and to be fair, Bould didn't make a whole lot of difference..... Gerrard strikes me as having a similar mindset to Mourinho in that he is the dominant character, while steering his staff where he wants them. The difference, as Gerrard has correctly pointed out, is that, unlike a player who has played well into their mid 30's, Mourinho was ahead of the curve compared to other coaches of the same age due to not having much of a playing career.

WallisFrizz Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It’ll be interesting to see how Beale gets on as manager. Rangers fans raved about him but I think it’s impossible to judge from the outside how influential he is. QPR should be in for a strong season if he is that much of a genius, especially as I can’t see any of the PL relegated teams being guaranteed bounce backs.

Being a coach and being a manager isn’t the same. Managers have a broader scope of responsibilities which require a different skill set. Beale may already have or be able to quickly acquire those skills or he may not. I don’t blame him for trying to test himself. Trying it is the only way to find out and good luck to him. He’ll get the answers pretty quickly, whether he’s afforded the time to add those additional skills to his proven coaching skill remains to be seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I don’t think he’s been deceitful with us, sounds like the club have known about his intentions for a while so hopefully we are well prepared. Good luck to him, I’ll be keeping an eye out for how they get on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McLaren is supposed to be an excellent coach but his management skills didn't back it up.
