Popular Post Clemdog 39,389 Posted January 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2023 I was quite vocal on here when Beale became Manager that I was concerned, I thought he was signed up to rehash the 55 squad and be the cheap option. Soundbites early on were concerning..."There's a view that everything is broken here that's not my opinion" & "Once fully fit the squad is strong and we'd just look to edge it on a bit in transfer windows". Even saying our squad is the same as the mhanky mob when everyone is fit. Now we have him putting pressure on the board saying "no loan signings" "we need first team players" and name dropping players in the press. Keep it up.

Popular Post BlueSuedeSambas 54,360 Posted January 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2023 Guys basically saying “did I stutter?” to the board every time he does an interview atm. He’s showing character and a steel that quite a few people wondered if he had the capability of showing when he first came in.

Popular Post Loyal72 12,040 Posted January 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2023 He's basically standing and saying "I don't want the shite Ross Wilson dumped on Gerrard and Gio, I don't want project signings, I don't want superstar loans for six months, I want progress" Good on him, because if it all goes to fuck, we're not looking at him, we're looking at the board.

bluenoz 31,242 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He certainly has a vision and knows what he wants. Speaks with purpose. I could never understand Gio's direction. Proud to say I wanted him over Dyche. Ayrshire Blue, MurrayWilson and BigBearButt 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,305 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The early signs are positive 👍 He’s had some good luck too which has bought him some good grace. As he wasn’t many’s preferred option the knives will be out at the first opportunity let’s not kid ourselves.

superallysbears 7,825 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He's a quality manager even if he's just started his career as a boss, there's many on here just waiting to stick the boot in though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .Williamson. 83,631 Posted January 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2023 Big fan and can’t fault him so far at all. I had the impression he would be quite weak but you can tell listening to him that definitely isn’t the case. Really pleasantly surprised tbh because I found the news we were after him to be whitey material initially cascadeshrimp, WilliamMunny, ForeverAndEver and 9 others 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueVanguard 7,000 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Beale is desperate to be a top manager and won't let board members get in his way he wants to bring success to us and wants to be a successful manager down in the Premier League or wherever he aims to be in the future. I was on the fence with Beale and still am but he has gave this team a never give up attitude and I like it a lot. The footballs not been great but that's a hard thing to shift when the players have been playing a certain way and loss of form. Really hope he continues to bring good results and hopefully a couple of cups this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,360 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Looking at it now, I think his comments about Fat Ange and the money he’s been allowed to spend was a dig at our board every big as much, maybe even more so, than it was a comment on him too.

The Ibrox Derry 9,019 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I don't know what he says to them at half time's but it certainly works. He must read the games very well in the first 45 minutes, then tells them exactly where we're going wrong and what to do to correct it, that's what we need from a Manager / Coach. Casting my mind back, the same happened on multiple occasions during Gerrards reign with Beale at his side. North Antrim Loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 74,965 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 He’s done pretty well so far tbh but the next few weeks are massive for him. 2 x cup games and the rest of the window. He seems to have taken charge of recruitment so he’ll live or die by his signings. RFC55 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,472 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The signs are good after an indifferent start to his tenure. We showed fight and determination to overcome Hibs and Aberdeen. Something we just never managed under Gio towards the end of his. Wins against Ross County and Motherwell weren't pretty, but that's when the defence started coming together. Credible performance against the scum....only losing to an 88th minute leveler. We have won 7points in 3 home games, only dropping 2 silly points against them. We have also win 9 out of 9 away to the sheep, Dundee Hibs and a tricky visit to Dingwall 2 days after Aberdeen away. That's not actually a bad half at all!! I'm sure performances will pick up with players returning from injury! All we can do is keep on winning. Keep it up Rangers!!

esquire8 43,513 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Think his and his management team have now assessed the squad and have drastically lowered their grading of them, which now goes against the general opinion of the boards grading of the squad. Posted before but I think Beale has called out Wilson and the shortlist he had for this window. Now I might be wrong but Wilson's contract is up this summer, if so he might not see another window after this one. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beale is completely different in that he believes in direct play in training, competition and just a much more fun environment, its no wonder the players seem to be buzzing a lot more about it now.
