The Michael Beale Thread.

We've been linked to an Australian manager by a credible Australian source, the Birmingham manager by the newspaper in Birmingham and a manager who most recently left a London club by a London based journalist. He's on the brink of losing his job.

Wonder if the board don’t want to be seen to be sacking him on the basis of an OF defeat so they’re waiting until after the weekend or Betis to do it?

Makes no sense, but very little of this board’s previous actions make sense.

Only other thought is that we’re waiting to hear back from somebody like Muscat before pulling the trigger.

Anyone else see something mad happening like a new manager coming in but Beale retaining a role as an assistant manager or a coach 

Nope, will ruin any chance he'll ever have at being a manager again, resigning via mutual agreement is better than being demoted when you think about it

At least that approach is better than sack him and worry about who’s next later.

Come on, are people replying to that post seriously 

[BlueSuedeSambas 56,413]

There’s clearly work being done in the background, and even though I don’t think Beale is the long term answer, I think we are correct to do our due diligence on candidates we have identified before we make any change.

The only thing I can think of is that the board have told him he’ll be sacked after this weekend or until we find a new manager, but then why would Beale agree to that and not just go immediately?

The Instagram stuff and us talking to other managers doesn’t seem to make any sense unless Beale knew he was leaving soon.

Because he would have to quit and lose any pay off?

I get that, but surely he must have some professional pride?

Must be a pretty humiliating situation to be in.

It’s the only thing that sort of makes sense as to why we’re speaking to other managers but haven’t sacked Beale yet.

Even then, it must be a bit mortifying for Beale.

I think we saw how much pride he has while he was whoring himself to us while a. Gio was still in the dug out and b. He was still QPR manager

Agreed:

Not sounding people out - board being negligent

Sounding people out - going behind Beale’s back

🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't change managers until a DOF is in place. A DOF with football brains. I wouldn't trust the board (businessmen) to make the right call about who the next manager is.

We are going about this the wrong way.

When it happens, I hope he finds out that he's been canned by us parading his successor at half time in front of him. 

[gmcf 35,425]

I think we'll wait till Christmas / New Year to see where we are . 

But if they are planning on a change , then you're going to have someone in place before letting him go which will take time .

Either way I'm not surprised we're not hearing anything right now .

Can’t be great for him but I suppose it depends on what discussions they’ve had in the background.

e.g. If he’s been told they back him but there naturally must be a big improvement or they’ll be forced to move.

Never wanted him and when he done this it wasnt fitting of a professional Manager. I bet Gio is laughing at him now because he has achieved fuck all with us while Gio gave us that beautiful Euro run and those nights under the lights!

The more you think about all that...

What must qpr fans of thought about him?

[NeoGeo7 11,285]

Good to know there is work going on, at least it means they know it’s unacceptable. If we turn a corner and thump at Johnstone, thump betis and so on then no harm done and he can’t complain as he was part of that process when Gio was in charge.

If the players don’t rate him or buy into his tactics they can throw him under the bus now, I guess we’ll find out at the weekend.

Doubt he'll be mortified given how he got the job in the first place

Do you trust the board to hire a DoF with football brains, because a DoF needs to be much much more than football brains,

As wanky as this was by him it’s just as alarming that our board facilitated that situation.
