Beale could soon be getting ranked alongside Pedro Caixinha, Graeme Murty and Mark Warburton. Some bears are reviewing Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s 368 days in charge which delivered a European final, the Scottish Cup and Champions League football.
Beale used to bask in the image of being a tactical wizard, apparently he was the brains of Steven Gerrard’s management team which actually says more about the others than the geezer that set out the bibs and cones for Gary McAllister.
Once again the lack of width and pace acted like a ball and chain on Beale’s side, when you throw on Scott Wright a fortnight after tying to dump him in Turkey you know that options are limited.
Apparently Yilmaz is out injured at the moment, some rumours are suggesting that he could be missing for a month with others claiming that Beale has now decided to get rid of last summer’s rising star.
Beale has a tendency to say far too much in front of the media, speaking today ahead of facing Servette he revealed that around £10m needs to be raised from sales over the remaining 23 days of the transfer window.
Beale and the Ibrox PR team are constantly tracking social media with much of the club’s policies formed from the most extreme views on forums and fan sites.
