All depends on how you gauge success as a coach/manager, I suppose. Bring in the Critcher. | | | |

bronkhurst gone on 10:49 - Nov 24 with 3280 views | DWQPR | Clive, when you did the online interview with Beale in the summer I asked what you thought of him as a person and you indicated that the jury was out at least until you managed to meet him face to face. There was something about him that worried me and it sounds daft but there was that Twitter photo/video after the Boro match where a couple of Rangers fans happened upon him at Borough Market, with his pint of lager in hand. Now I know we all merit a social life and all that but there is something about the guy that I don’t trust. I liked some of his post match comments and the ‘football boffin’ comes to mind but to me he seems the type that will take as much as he can now just in case it all goes pop. Personally I’d let him move on, LF’s comments reported in the Daily Record earlier this week said everything to me, that he is well and truly fed up with Beale. And personally I think it was bang out of order that Beale was attending a G Rangers match. Ultimately the last five games shows that he hasn’t changed much from the Warburton years and to be honest I’d rather have Warbs back than continue with Beale. Real shame we got rid of Eustace. Manager of the season so far in the Championship for me. | |

He was offered a Premiership job at Wolves after only a few months in charge of us. I think it’ll be more difficult to make that move if he’s at Rangers. | | | |

bronkhurst gone on 10:59 - Nov 24 with 3157 views | daveB | Didn't work that way for Warbs despite getting to the top flight and winning a cup. Van Bronkhurst got to a Europa League final and won't walk into a prem job anytime soon either. Rogers was a bit different as he'd already done well in England before I get career progression etc but sometimes you need to do the job in front of you. Easy to say I want to manage here and there and everywhere but you need to actually achieve something to make that happen. Willock is not going to get a premier league move unless he plays really well for us, Beale should be in the same boat. Ultimatley if he goes now he's done no better than Warburton who is unlikely to get a premier league managers job anytime soon. it's a shame as I like Beale, talks a good game and found his team exciting to watch but the same issues as under Warbs have not really been fixed and if he wants to go then off you go, we're a football club any manager should be proud to manage. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:02 - Nov 24 with 3130 views | Northernr | I have met him since then and, well, I guess you'll get to read what I think in the departure piece I'm going to be writing today. I think whether you like him or not, rate him or not, it's pretty clear he's a bit of a bullshtter. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:03 - Nov 24 with 3117 views | Phildo | I think the relatively calm way this thread has progressed suggests a quiet resignation on the part of most of us just to have this over with now. Get the next appointment right and it could be an exciting second half of the season as our formation had been found out a bit IMO. (suppresses thoughts of fk off you pot bellied Bromley/ch@lsea cnt and take your malapropisms with you). [Post edited 24 Nov 2022 11:04]

bronkhurst gone on 11:04 - Nov 24 with 3095 views | Northernr | also last time this happened we were flying, now we've got one point and one goal in 5 games. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:05 - Nov 24 with 3078 views | rrrspricey | Fair point Clive but it's one thing to go back on your preferences for the make- up of the squad and an entirely different one to state your own moral compass in the press then a month later do the complete opposite. Would make himself look like a rather large cʋnt. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:09 - Nov 24 with 3047 views | Northernr | Sorry, I was referring to the comment about how calm this thread is. I think we were all gutted last time, and now perhaps less so. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:10 - Nov 24 with 3020 views | Hayesender | I think we're all just fed up with the "noises" around him | |

bronkhurst gone on 11:10 - Nov 24 with 3014 views | dmm | The worst of all outcomes could be that Beale stays. It appears true he's been heavily flirting with the Gers so, coupled with the Wolves job, it's pretty clear he's not committed to QPR. As Ferdinand has said, he, and we the supporters, only want people who want to be at QPR. So if, for whatever reason, Beale remains at QPR, things could turn toxic between him, the board and supporters, but I assume we'd be stuck with him. Sacking him would be costly given he's got 2.5 years of his contract to go. And, as has been said, what about the effect all this will have on the players? | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:11 - Nov 24 with 3003 views | Phildo | Not the messiah just a very naughty boy | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:14 - Nov 24 with 2954 views | Northernr | You and me both mate. I think he'll look back on this later in his career and wince at how he's handled it all. Also wouldn't put me in a rush to appoint him as my manager in future if I was another club looking at this. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:14 - Nov 24 with 2940 views | BazzaInTheLoft | By the way, who remembers when Rangers were burning Gerrard effigies and calling him a mercenary? Tables have turned eh. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:15 - Nov 24 with 2932 views | Wegerles_Stairs | As a Celtic fan, every single defeat they suffer will be all the sweeter. Really struck by his arrogance - we've got less than 1.5 points a game this season and this guy acts like he's Trapattoni. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:16 - Nov 24 with 2930 views | Toast_R | When was the last time we picked up someone for free and got £1.5m for them within 6 months? On one hand I think he's a bit of a sod but on the other, he's only another couple of losses away from QPR fans turning on him anyway so let's not get too precious about it I guess.

bronkhurst gone on 11:17 - Nov 24 with 2911 views | BuckR | Wasnt free though as we had to pay Villa compensation, albeit not £1.5m | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:19 - Nov 24 with 2887 views | BazzaInTheLoft | £1.5m is about the same as our monthly loss isn’t it? Plus new manager might need to be paid for. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:22 - Nov 24 with 2854 views | ozexile | Don't care if he goes I just care that the next managers gets in that big ugly horrible defensive midfielder we've been crying out for for 5 years. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:25 - Nov 24 with 2803 views | RBlock | We've got a young, well-spoken and polite defensive midfielder who is one of the best in the league in his position. If Sam Field was a skinhead Scotsman with tattoos who shouted a bit more, we'd be set. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:25 - Nov 24 with 2801 views | benhurst | Honestly, this makes me a lot more relaxed about Beale leaving if we can get Critchley in quickly - the club was quick to point to the extensive data-backed process that resulted in Beale joining, so Critchley also being backed by the same process (and without a buyout this time) makes me optimistic that we can still do something this season. If we're able to spend that 1.5 mil in January, even better. | | | |
bronkhurst gone on 11:30 - Nov 24 with 2741 views | traininvain | I was going to say something similar. I’m not sure a Sam Field replacement is out top priority. | | | |
