Maybe he's actually quite smart, realising what a rudderless sh*tshow our club is, with an impotent thick ex legend in charge of everything, owners who can barely remember buying us, and a bafflingly canonised failure like Ramsey ( 'he's the world's best coach, ask anyone' ) overseeing our languid/moribund youth policy.
The solution is get in a bloke who dresses like a mid life crisis pub band front man, who fronts a pub band who should be called Mid Life Crisis, who after the first game of 46 says ' I will do everything to keep this club in the league.'
Beale would laugh at you if you met him, especially if you mentioned any facial blemish - I'm sure you resemble a late eighties Swayze.
We are a shit club, run by even shitter people.
Support your grassroots team, this shit ship has sailed.

Yeah Ainsworth right out of his depth. Fancy signing a geriatric like Colback. That Smyth, div 2 player at best. And route one football all the way. Once again QPR fans show they know sod all. OK there’s a long way to go, but my view … we will only get better and stronger.
Got to agree Zen. My only fear is injuries but Ainsworth has turned things around in a very dramatic fashion and it feels great!

I'm jolly pleased as we all are but a bit wary. It'll be interesting to see where we are after, say, 15 games including home games ( remember them ? ).
Injuries uncertain - Armstrong didn't last the course but JCS did a whole half and Dykes & Dunne apparently may be ready after the international break. A brief appearance for Willock but still no Richards. Cook injury apparently not too bad.

Beale now under severe pressure after today's result, boos at Ibrox and rubbished
by various pundits all round. The PSV result was embarrassing too.
I fear it won't end well for him there.

Fear? Or hope?

It rarely ends well for any manager, anywhere.
Few are agreeable in conversation, because each thinks more of what he intends to say than of what others are saying, and listens no more when he himself has a chance to speak.

Ordinarily I don’t like to carry feelings of bad will where possible.in this case t help it to some degree down to the nature of how he left. I am also grateful to him as up to now the Scottish leagues are of little or no interest to me. A two horse bore fest between two teams who seem to cycle and exchange periods of hegemony between themselves. Most of the time even in the two horse race the winner is predictable and the football standard is exposed when the play CL. On top of that the two teams are desperate to leave their league and enter the Pl. F^^K off say I.
Now however, I quite enjoy the big games which GR play in to see the next episode of his downfall.
Also as the previous poster said the pundits panned him in triplicate. Dissecting his performance, the team, the progress etc.
Not sure he’s too popular in the studio or whether they are just being strictly professional.
I still have a feeling. He might turn it around but I hope I’m wrong. In any case I’m quite enjoying the games I’ve watched

Hegemony? Are you saying Beale will be gone by New Year?

I was talking to a Brum fan last night and he was saying that the talk amongst their fans was that there are rumours linking John Eustace to Rangers in place of Beale. I don't know if there is any truth in this rumour but he was more concerned about the prospect of Rooney replacing Eustace at Birmingham.
Can't beat a good bit of football speculation/ rumour.

Now talk of Graham Potter replacing him, my mind goes to Christians and lions.

Nice work

Oh, it's unkind to call him mole face.
The poor chap has a glass eye you know.
I didn't know, but it just came out in conversation one day.

I know people don't like to say nice things about him because of the way he came into management and the generation of arrogant English footballers he's part of, but I think he might come good as a manager.
