NixonRFC 1,402 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I really wonder if this is a move backed by the players more than anything else, if they've genuinely been unhappy with the training and preparation under Gio I wonder if they've asked the senior players what they're hoping for and they've said Beale. I've not been overly happy about the way he's been quite clearly parading himself while GvB was still in office and I think he's got an over inflated opinion of himself given he was only part of one successful competition in his time here, I do believe he was the brains behind Gerrard but I also think Gerrard's aura carried us just as far as Beale's tactics. I'm really not sure about this one but at least he knows what he's walking into, who he'd be working with and what he'd be expected to get from the Board. If he thinks the Board will back him like they did Gerrard though I think he'll be disappointed. BlueKnight87 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smell the hotdog 4,028 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Why would Wilson go near Beale with his limited managerial experience and terrible recent record. He would automatically fire them cunts up after his words on BT podcast, if you were coming in you wouldn’t set yourself up for a fall like that. Wilson must know he’s got to get this one right, you can go appoint an experience candidate in similar or better leagues than a novice. When Gerrard left all the talk was they fell out with the board, don’t see how he’d be the choice albeit this board make very strange decisions.

If the club had leaked it the fan media guys, Chris Jack and others would have it. Yep. If they get it right, it’ll be “we told you first”. If it’s not Beale, it’ll be lost and forgotten about in the splurge about the new guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sun have been spouting shite for weeks. They started today saying Gerrard was favourite, then went on to Dyche, then Peter Bosz, now Beale as "frontrunner" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot in both stories don’t make sense, not least the Scottish assistant manager stuff. Just ignore that PM with my bank details for now then mate.

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Wanted Beale before we got GVB, wanted him even more when he was linked with Wolves. His drop in form since then is a worry, but still think he is a decent choice. Not dead against it, but not as enthusiastic as I would be for Dyche. On the plus side, everyone seems to think this will be a disaster. Last time everyone was sure that GVB was going to be great. Hopefully the board get this one right, and the majority on here can happily eat some humble pie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 23,038 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 What impresses me about Knutsen is the fact that he won titles in a competitive league, unlike our two horse derby in Scotland. Bodo/Glimt are not seen historically as champion material with bigger clubs like Lillestrom, Molde and Rosenborg far more successful until Knutsen’s arrival. Winning against three or four comparable (or bigger) rivals compares pretty well to only having one serious rival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, think he speaks well & is a big fan of the club but the way he left Kelty was weird, and seemingly he’s interviewed for a couple of half decent jobs in Scotland but hasn’t got them. He was interviewed for a few jobs and never got them apparently. The kelty board asked him to comit and stop continuously applying for other Jobs and it came to a head and a huge fallout with the chairman which resulted in him leaving. I listened to a few podcasts with Kevin Thompson and he sounds like he will be a great manager. Very strange he hasn't got another job though.

Bear in mind Beale has moved his family from Glasgow to Bham to London in a year he’s got two kids in school. Refuse to believe we pay anyone the money to come here and have a January kitty considering we had little to fuck all to spend after CL qualification.

First head coach job, he got his club promoted twice, 62% win rate at his next club, sticky spell at Asane but then went to Bodo as assistant. Given top job when head coach made Sporting Director. Since then, a second place and two titles, first in that club’s history. Think saying he just got lucky with a golden generation seems unfair imo.
