Is that him or the team that Germany has? Its all a bit pointless debating as he is not coming home, I just think he has that great man manager, knows how to empower his players, Ancelotti / del Bosque aura. Something that resonates with us.

True. I could probably win silverware with that Bayern team but still. Bring the big German home so he can win another European cup.

Bring him home James. https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1700879824095510588?s=46

They will be watering the park, letting a herd of cows chew it up in anticipation of our arrival.

Just all a bit needless. Noise for no real reason.

Bit childish if true.

Michael Beale (@michaelbeale4980) • Instagram photos and videos Ah ok - i thought it was the usual one.

Nah its just his normal profile pic. Not sure why the big deal over it tbh.

Changed it to what?

My mistake, I meant an off the record word that they will back the manager in the short term. Expectations get set and we look at the next game. They clearly can do this as were quick to tell Andy Newport off the record they were not looking at Kevin Muscat and there had been no contact. Don't think they responded to the John Eustice rumours. But a betting man would wager that noise means they have been sounding out potential replacements.

Has he? Our board in hiding again. No one will to stick up for the manager or set expectations. leaking a puff piece to Chris Jack to try and undermine him? It looks like that certainly if its not the case. It seems Park, Robertson and Wilson are gone but the lack of leadership or accountability around the club are still the same with Bennet and Bisgrove are in charge. If the board want to stick by Beale then they should publicly stick by him, I'm not saying we need a statement on the club website or a youtube video - but they can speak off the record to fan media, Chris Jack, Andy Devlin eg and set narrative.

Differing opinions to what our manager has said recently with regards too transfer spend. Is the board briefing against him?

Agree. It was put in place to stop the big clubs just going out and buying a player if they had injuries or so on. Instead it’s led to them stockpiling players. It was a worthwhile attempt but as always the authorities are a few steps behind. Players were always cup tied before it so clubs couldn’t add to European squads if needed. It worked fine as it was.

Billy Reid is holding him hostage until John Bennett calls and offers a job and a bag of cans..

I agree overall with your entire post there, I think he demonstrated how to have a vision, and how to implement it in a short space of time. What was key to him turning it around was the January transfer window and beating us in the league there after. No point moaning about the COVID stuff and moving games as its all history but it was a factor. But to the point I've quoted I'm not sure that's strictly true. They hired a chap as CEO to replace the outgoing Lawwell, he didn't last long to be replaced by their CFO. Recruited Gordon Strachan as some kind of DoF 'on loan' from Dundee and Mark Lawwell officially joined / got involved in their recruitment on the playing side. I suppose its subjective but i wouldnt see that as stability.

Was only a few weeks ago I got pelters for saying the same after Killie, what a difference a few games make 😂

The fact the transfer windows aren't standardised are a total joke.

He has made many mistakes (livi away, them away, Kille away) in a very small sample of games. It remains to be seen if this is just bad luck or a trend.

Anytime but August

None of the above. I'd rather just stick with Beale reading that.

Its either now, after the next dropped points if we drop some before Celtic do, or he sees the season out. Or Celtic could lose their next 2 games while we win and go top and we can all pretend he's a genius.

How about catching and punishing actual criminals? Or maybe just stop people who have worked hard all week enjoy a day out at the football. Thats much easier.

Gutter press is linking us with John Eustace as manager. Hes at Birmingham. Expect movement in 7-10 days(joke btw) Ex-Rangers trialist now managing in Championship is shock new name to replace Michael Beale as Ibrox manager | The Scottish Sun Its obviously celtc fans with typewriters making a joke btw

Recently with the trend of Rodgers, Gerrard and Fat Aussie, if successful then it is inevitable.

Good point.
