Thought it was a shrewd appointment by the board and didn’t they let us know, not in a good or bad way, more like doing it with some due diligence.
The fact that for the second time someone comes knocking on the door and the silence afterwards is deafening. It’s like he’s always going to talk to everyone who approaches him.
Obviously a dream job for him but personally, sadly and reluctantly he can go and f off on his merry way asap. Lot of talk about the board. I bet there not particularly pleased or impressed just as much as we are.
Just don’t knock the system, even though it sucks, when we take a manager from someone else.
Apparently Gary Megson got a lot of jobs because he interviewed well.
Right. That's it for me. I'd drive him there myself if I could drive.
The Springsteen box set is mine by the way.
Wait !!! Bruce Springsteen is releasing a Box Set ? I thought it was that soul album which i will be avoiding .Nightshift is lovely though . Its very dissapointing if Mick Beal heads up to Scotland after all his impressive interviews and the amount of praise he got for his loyalty during the Wolves saga. What about all his staff they look good during those training sessions but I expect the next guy ( if we need one ) will bring his own
I was unsure about Warbs going, even with the horrible end to last season. I liked him. I found it hard to warm to Beale early on, I really did - and I wasn't always taken in by how much of a good game he talked, there was just something I didn't like.
As time went on and he seemed to get us scoring goals, winning away regularly and players continued to develop (although not all - don't see Roberts any better than when he started his loan period), I did start to warm to him and listen a bit more carefully to what he had to say, the fact that he "talks a good game" and we were getting results seemed to go hand in hand. However, since the Wolves link, things haven't felt right. Apart from Norwich away, I've been unimpressed, and as noted above, he hasn't turned round a bad run of form yet so as a manager at least, still seems unproven.
Unfortunately, do't feel like wishing him luck (same as I felt with Hughes, Redknapp, JFH and McLaren). Could have been so different if he'd stayed a year and got us finishing withing touching distance of the play-offs. I'm not on twitter and get most of my Rangers news here... some of the revelations about his courting of GR leave a horrible taste. It's as though we were never going to be good enough for him - surprising really, given the club gave him his managing break with a nice length of contract and the fans have supported him since day 1, and continuing to sing his name regularly since the Wolves link.
I now feel like a mug for having warmed to Beale and for having sung his name.
Clearly he now has to go, although I know we can't pay up his contract so best for all if he gets this job and is offski. We move on.
As highlighted above, easy with hindsight but Jon Eustace would have fitted the bill nicely really.
Sounds like it'll be Critchley and my only misgivings about that is how he hurried to leave Blackpool having talked up his love for the club in the previous months. Seem to remember the fanbase wasn't too impressed with how he left without much of a statement to the fans.
But I think we've established that however hard it is to accept, hard to ask managers for much loyalty when they're only ever 5 matches away from the sack.
I do think that leaving so soon into a 3-year contract is poor, however. And worse when you've actively been looking to leave, havign talked up integrity. Some of us have a clear idea of what that means, and you, sir, have fallen well short.
May have been mentioned before, but I'm going down the road of what footballer have we ever signed on a free and 4 or 5 months later we've sold them on for £2-3million?

I said a week ago this story was lazy journalism, as I didn’t think a manager would turn up to stir it so blatantly when another on the brink and after what he said after wolves, how could he walk!!
Think I am still right to say it’s a bad move tho…they’re a huge club, but in a poor league, the Celtic manager has done as well as anyone and is not linked to any big jobs, because it’s in Scotland. Gerrard got Villa because he’s Gerrard. So much more credible to get us in the top 6 of the championship than it is to win a handful of trophies in Scotland.
Potentially a very good manger, definitely a poor character, so happy to get money for him and move on.
Unbelievable. He must of known the G Rangers job was coming up as he had been at the Aberdeen game weeks ago. The cynic in me thinks the extension talks were there for him to say "I was ready to commit long term, but G Rangers were to big to say no to". I feel a mug for having been genuinely excited when we appointed him. What a weasel. Even if he stayed his position is untenable now. Worst case scenario now is that he stays and we can't afford to sack him. The trust is broken with the fans and, I imagine, the players. Critchley in hopefully.

Beale's contract release clause has been questioned quite a lot. My take would be that Beale himself would have insisted on that because he wanted to keep his options as open as possible.
It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that, given it was Beale's first stab at a head coach job (not even as a manager), the club agreed to a £1.5m release clause. It would have seemed fanciful at the time to think a Prem club and top Scottish side would come calling for him.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the board is a lot more circumspect with the next manager's contract, particularly if he's another 'young and upcoming' one.

This whole saga with Beale has really got my back up. The guy seems to be an effective coach and I thought provided refreshing, interesting, and intelligent insight. We have played some scintillating football at times this season yet the soft underbelly remains.
What has annoyed me is the two facedness of it all. If he goes, the Geezer is a massive hypocrite and that is the bit that wrangles with me so much. He has duped the whole club into believing his mantra and if he turns out to be a Lionel Hutz type characther, that hurts, really hurts, because I drank the Kool Aid. I was so hungry to believe we had found ‘The One’, silly old me.
Someone I know who met with Beale said he ‘is ambitious, really ambitious’ almost with a tone of caution. I didn’t know why at the time, maybe now I do.
When things are going well, either of the Old Firm clubs might seem like Willy Wonka’s garden but when they don’t go so good, the tone is very, very different. Not just a few angry tweets but genuine intimidation. Beale was there in the good times under Gerrard, how will it be if the darkness descends?
As for QPR, the greatest club which ever did you exist, this is an opportunity to take stock on the long term vision of who we are, what values we have, why we are here, and what we want to do. £1.5m isn’t a bad return on a gamble (will this be the first compo fee we have received for a manager? Brucey Bonus! That cash may just mean we can hang onto our gems for a wee bit longer. Win - Win.
The lack of effort at Coventry especially from some of his signings like Clarke-Salter suggested something was/is up
I think that was more to do with beale's seeming penchant for playing injured players. If Willock runs his contract down and joins beale at sectarian rangers, why, i'll, i'll......

It's the 75-85 Live box set, the one with the 4th disc missing that he denies all knowledge of the pot bellied Bromley c*nt...
Hopefully this should all happen pretty quickly now anyway.

Allegedly Amit has liked a tweet about a fan being angry that Mick is possibly leaving. I love Amit but if that is true then perhaps not the best move with what's going on and would indicate a breakdown at this point in the relationship that would be very hard to mend.
Of course it is press talk so it is far more likely that Amit tweeted that he would like to get some milk and eggs in and that has been interpreted as liking an angry fan's tweet.
I really think Twitter is such a horrible toxic beast.

Agree re Twitter but I’m sure Amit has a much better insight into what’s going on re Beale than any of us. I doubt he would have liked the tweet if Beale was on the fence about whether to stay or leave.

Agree he's not on the fence, his mind was made up weeks ago. Why else go to G Rangers v Aberdeen? Definitely not the scintillating football. He wants out, we get a fee, see ya later Weasel Boy.

I’m looking forward to all the leaked stories that MB left because him and Les Ferdinand fell out. This message board could possibly spontaneously combust!

If he goes to the pseudo-Rangers, and it's still an I would like to feel biggish if, he'll clearly deserve all the brickbats he gets his way on the way out. But - in my opinion - the failure of the club to hold him to his contract will also make both LF's and LH's positions untenable, and they should follow him through the door.
Can you explain how the club can hold him to his contract when it contains a release clause
In my view, MB has let himself down massively in all of this and it will come back to haunt his career in the future. If it goes belly up at GR and he's out of a job, who else would bother with him as a manager after all this? I reckon that, in time, he's really going to regret the way he's conducted himself these past few weeks.......get the popcorn out
