I meant with the fans mate, some horrible stuff been said on here about Beale, if he goes on a great run and produces results will the same people back him or is he always going to have this poor opinion around him now

Majority have short memories. Only as good as your last match. If he goes on that winning run until late October and they slip up more then most of us will forget about this until he fucks up another big match.

I can’t stand him and don’t think he’s anywhere close to being a Rangers manager. However I’ll still follow my team home and away in the hope that a miracle occurs and we go on a run and go and win this league. If that’s the case then I’ll hold my hands up and say I was wrong. If he does become successful he’ll have some credit in the bank with the majority of the support although at this moment in time he’s shown nothing to have any belief in him. The reality is however there’s more chance of me scudding Margot Robbie than us winning the league under Michael Beale.

Nah not this time. He needs to win the league cup, get closer to the scum in the league and actually win a big match before the majority of the support will get behind him. Even then it’ll really need to be a league title before we fully support him. Deleting his social media would also be a good start tbh!

Not sure, the way the crowd turned means as soon as he next slips up, it’ll go nuclear again. 
 

I’ve never seen a Rangers manager come back from that. Happened to Advocaat, McLeish, Warburton, Caixinha, Gio, seems like it’ll happen again

If he wins the cup and has us ahead in the league or a result away from it then fair fucks.

I think we all know he won't but 

[NeoGeo7 11,309]

Didn’t want him in charge to begin with, thought his undermining of Gio was really poor reflection on him as a person and also towards a fellow professional but I got behind him, defended him even during last season as he needed time to build his own squad.

He’s built that squad now and we look awful on the park and I can’t see it being turned around but if he does the. It’s a results business so whether I like him or not is irrelevant, he’d get my backing.

The problem he will face now is it’s a powder keg situation, one bad result and it’ll go nuclear once more. If for instance we drop points at st Johnstone I can see him going tbh, he needs to win all domestic games and show no fear also need the same approach against betis though if we don’t get a result there as long as we can see where we are going and the effort put in then it would be tolerable (never going to say acceptable to losing at home).

True, we all know how this ends

Fingers crossed thet have all got their act together.

Out of interest, if we now crack on, win the league and go on a half decent run in Europe will Beale redeem himself or is it too far gone?

If he turns this round then aye it’s on us to hold our hands up and admit we got it wrong

That's what we all want. It's just that a large section of our support, myself included, don't believe it's possible.

Was posted a couple of pages ago can’t remember which one, but one of the podcasts claimed the players aren’t buying into the “system” he’s trying to play

My fear with that is he seems stubborn to the point he'd die on his sword. His way or none type imo

He had a whole summer to try something new and we're still playing the utter wank football that we've all been watching for the last 5 year.

By this time Gio had a Scottish Cup and a European final to his name whilst Beale has yet to win a big game and he's been here since December. 

Absolutely I agree with everything you've said however it'll take a calamity in that cup before he is removed. Wins it he will be our manager until the summer minimum.

If we win the league and end up in EL knockout rounds he will redeem himself.

If the above does happen, can you imagine if he tells us to poke it and bolts to the EPL 😂

Not only that I think he’s stubborn in his own belief, he sometimes comes across as thinking he knows better which makes him appear smug and condescending.

Not a good look when you are under pressure.

Yeah. The confidence of a prime Mourinho with the managerial talent of a Scott Parker.

Howling 

[MillerTimeDavie 123]

Beale's ego is indeed off the chart and as other posters have suggested he comes across as arrogant and will stick to his ideas (although no one knows what they are) even if they are blatantly not working.

Let’s face it if we even so much as drop a point and they increase their lead at the top over us he will be gone. 

The noise from the fans will be a firestorm even the board can’t hide from.

I'd hope so but could see the board still sticking with him until maybe a few more dropped points.

True, but I think there will always be an element at that. He can't go and win the next 4 or 5 big matches then lose the 6th and cunts coming out with 'I told you so.'.

I don't think he will, however if he did go on a run of winning big games then like him or not he'd have to stay.

I think this is where all the frustration comes from re the support. Why wait until we get to that position? We all know it's inevitable that we'll fall further behind in the coming months thus writing off another season before Halloween. 

[B1872 21,931]

I genuinely think it's time we started targeting the board in all honestly. Feels like we keep going from one fuck up to another. We'll see if Bisgrove sticks to his word and has quarterly engagements with the support. These cunts need to start being held accountable!!!

Considering we’re already sounding out other managers, it wouldn’t surprise me if the board are waiting for him to drop points before giving him the bullet.

Don’t understanding the point in it myself, but I imagine they don’t want to be seen sacking a manager just because he lost to Celtic.

This board have never made an executive decision for the club ever. Bit wrong to target them for the fuck ups.
