Should Beale be sacked?

Haha I saw the picture online and was absolutely howling.

 

Unless that website is banned on here?

 

It's clickbait articles from them.

No - I was just joking.

I hate to call for any Rangers managers head but I've just come to conclusion that he has to go in order to try and salvage our season. Maybe it's a bit of hindsight but many of the summer business bothered me. To give this context, Im going to go back to last season. It seemed to me that Beale had developed the genesis of a playing style based on a high-press with Cantwell at the top of a diamond leading (and scoring). This was complimented by 2 split attackers, 2 in the middle, one at the base of midfield, wing backs providing width with a midfielder dropping in to cover. I liked this style and thought that this was going to be our blueprint for this season. Roll onto the summer...with Cantwell in the number 10 role leading the press did we need Sam Lammars? We also had Hagi who could play there. Lawrence was on the way back. God we even had young Lowry. Would that money spent on Lammars not have been better spent on more mobile wide attackers or central defenders? This is just one of many things that have been bothering me. Don't get me started on Danilo...

I agree with your point, but I actually think all the new forwards fit - except Dessers. 

 

Lammers' stats suggested a pressing forward, which fits a high press. I never thought he was a #10, which is where he has been played. Cantwell is far superior and had been very effective in that role. 

 

But, you're right, it has been a mess, in terms of set-up and use of players. It's a different front three every week!

 

I don't know why he hasn't built on some interesting ideas, re the diamond. Perhaps he can't, or doesn't know how?

 

I have other issues with recruitment, too.

We shouldn’t sack Beale until we’ve identified a successor. We mustn’t repeat the Murty nonsense or the B team coaches nonsense when Gerrard left

Why don’t you think Dessers fits?

I thought at last he was coming onto a game yesterday. He set up 2 goals although both disallowed in the first half.

Im more concerned about Danilo who’s too lightweight & Sima who looks lost to me

I don't think he's mobile enough. 

 

I agree that the others haven't done anything - or not been given a proper chance yet (i.e. Danilo) - but they do 'fit' in terms of style. 

 

I was just talking about style, not their effectiveness. None have been effective, IMO.

Instead of asking 'should he be sacked'.

 

Ask - Why should he be kept on.

 

The answers 'its too early' or 'he beat Celtic in that last dead rubber' don't answer the question.

Andy Halliday made a good point on SSB tonight. He said regarding Rangers starting XI yesterday only 3 were summer signings and had Barasic been fit only 2 would have played & one was the GK

Beales summer recruitment will soon cost him his job unless something dramatic happens and soon. Same as Warburton’s 2016 summer recruitment cost him his job

Just sad masochists.

To answer the question you first have to decide whether it's likely there might be some advantage in delaying what to me seems an inevitability. In other words, have you seen anything in Beale's leadership that suggests a reversal of current misfortunes.

 

For myself, I see nothing to hang hope on and I would sack him now before even more damage is done. Basically, I think we have a windbag whose entire focus is on his own status.
