Had Stewart Houston managed or 'head-coached' anyone before us?.. sorry to think so negatively.
IF this is true (...), it'll be the first time we have appointed anyone I genuinely have never heard of...apart from perhaps Luigi De Canio... a more positive comparison. [Post edited 31 May 2022 18:19]

A development club to me means we buy low and sell high you know something we were very good at in the 80's and early 90's.
I genuinely think some people on this forum think we should be playing 442 and lump it up to the big man but unfortunately it's not 1987 and football has changed
Beale probably won't work but then not many mangers have in the last 30 years but if this was another club making this appointment we would be waxing lyrical and moaning about us going for the same familiar names | | | |

It says something about us when everyone else - journos, current boss, players and supporters of clubs he's worked at - are wildly positive about Beale, quite a few QPR fans are nervous or even negative about him.
We know there are risks with him not having been the number 1 before, but given the others we were said to be considering, Beale looks the most exciting with bags of potential and he'll fit in with the club's strategy.
I really can't see what's not to like. |  | | |

As far as I remember he was first team coach and maybe caretaker manager of Arsenal for a while. | | | |

He talks a good game & I feel very positive about the up & coming appointment, would’ve felt more negative with some of the others that was mentioned & that’s if they was even approached | | | |

Quite exciting, he has good pedigree and not just the obvious choice like the line of cretins previously foisted on us pre-Warbs.
BUT appointing someone as Manager who has never been a number 1 before is always a MAJOR risk. Because management is only partly about training and tactics, it's equally, if not more, about leadership, strategy, man management and motivation. And nous in the transfer market.
From Schteeve to Paul Clement (and many more( the game is littered with highly rated coaches who turned to be poor managers.
So it is exciting but it's a big risk. |
Steve McClaren's CV says he wasn't a poor manager by any stretch of the imagination. Far better than almost any other manager we have ever had. |  |

I feel the same way. He seems like someone who will have a good chance of getting that solid core group of players (and the others of course) in the right place as far as belief and pattern of play goes.
If you need to work with what you have and develop players then go and get the best person you can think of, and afford, for that. This guy seems not far off that at all.
He's also more than likely got a good awareness of youth prospects which can't hurt with trying to get a few microwave-ready bodies in. |  | | |

Totally with you on this.
The fact that he sees us as a progression of his own career, as well as that of QPR, is a massive bonus.
I just hope we give him the time and the support to do the job.
Have to say I'm actually really excited about his appointment. |  | | |

Gordon Jago did a very good job having only been a coach beforehand. I'm not even sure that he had been coach of a professional first team! | | | |

Beale sounds like he knows what he is doing and I'm pleased with the appointment. I would not be up for reading this book though. | | | |

Please Rangers, hurry up & announce our new manager!
I can't explain why, even to myself, but I would be more excited about the appointment of Michael Beale than anyone since Terry Venables came in 1980.
I've enjoyed the Mark Warburton years very much, but when he came I regarded him as the best available rather than uplifting.
A Championship squad that includes Dieng, Dickie, Dunne, Field, Amos, Johansen, Chair & Willock will not struggle & hopefully will give us some excitement. That's without any additions that may be brought in.
Villa have a few players below the first team squad that have looked good in the FA Youth Cup. Perhaps we may be able to take advantage of any availability.
Mind you, I would still like to add Barbet to the list of players for next season! | | | |

I'll take that.
He was sacked when Derby County were 2nd wasn't he? |
5th. They had been 2nd a month before he was sacked.
Cautiously optimistic about Beale if it actually happens. [Post edited 31 May 2022 20:56]

Depends if you're looking at Twente maybe Boro, maybe Derby. But really only Twente was an unqualified success.
Wolfsburg and England were abject failures.
So yeah McLaren didn't have a great record. |  |

Excellent coach - poor manager. Just like Malcolm Allison and many others. Two different jobs, especially so nowadays. | | | |

I'd like to put on record that I have no effing idea if he's any good or in fact anything at all about him. Possibly about anything ever now I think about it, especially as I'm "doing an XTC" (gin and rough cider since you ask, not bad together actually) this evening.
But I'm really hoping that Fernandes snuck down the bookies with a sack of cash, a pair of dark glasses and a dodgy syrup and shoved the price of a new full-back on the bloke just after he was "ruled out".
If not, why not, eh? | | | |
