If there was something that caused him/them to leave then either come out and tell us or shut TF up. As for trying to use their (great) record the previous season to excuse virtually the whole coaching staff leaving just before an important cup semi, it just doesn't stand up. He should be acknowledging that they did a pretty crappy thing, rather than trying to excuse it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clear to anyone with eyes to see that there was conflict in the camp long before Gerrard and his staff left us. The fact that the team responded so positively to their departure confirms to me that any issue was mainly confined to the dressing room. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd agree but with King looking to get back on the board and refusing to back Park Jnr, and 'confirmation' from Beale that something wasn't quite right behind the scenes, think we are entitled to ask questions. FWIW I thought and still think Beale is one of life's good guys and certainly would welcome him back at Ibrox in the future. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Perhaps the relationship between King and Gerrard is worth consideration. Were certain things promised to the new manager by the then chairman that were unwise or at least inappropriate given COVID, etc? Is this at the root of King’s current manoeuvrings? Has King’s pride been hurt by what he considers to be broken promises? I think you have to see King’s latest moves in terms of Gerrard’s departure. I’m obviously speculating but it looks like they are closely linked. Edited December 17, 2021 by Bill 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think King is that relevant. He just wants to sell his shares. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,653 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Let’s move on FWIW I think Gerard & Co should have gone last summer I think we’ve now got a better manager & back room staff 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,751 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I think we are reading too much into this. Gerrard was always leaving sooner than later. He hasn't been with his young family for over 3 years so he was always going to jump ship at the first and best option. Newcastle would have been pointless for him in terms of geography but Villa is manageable. I presume SG lives in the Chester area? If so, this is approximately 70/80 mile journey to work. Easy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, FWIW I'm sure Beale was the only member of staff who moved his family up to Scotland and seemed to fully embrace Rangers / Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
