Looks like it's soon to be official that Michael Beale is going to be Manager 18 for the famous. Forget the Naysayers.
It's time for the "Gerrard Express" type thread.
I think this will be a success because;
1. Young and hungry highly rated British coach.
2. Has kept up with the club and has mentioned how he keeps in contact with players. Will know where to make immediate improvements and can hit the ground running.
3. Was tremendous with Alfie and Kent last time, really got the best out of them.
4. He will show "them" no respect.
5. Has a "mini-preseason" to work with the players and identify key areas of weakness & improve our fitness.
6. Already knows the EPL grass isn't greener, so won't immediately want to work his ticket.
It's gloves off time. A return to "hunting in packs" the high press and more energy through out the match day squad.
Beale ball is back baby.
(If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.)
