Is Michael Beale a tracksuit manager?

[Micah Bell]

I’m surprised so many people aren’t arsed. I always think traditions like these are a huge part of the charm of a club like ours. Remember when McCoist did his wee interview with Sandy Jardine not long before he died and Ally mentioned during the interview how Sandy had insisted they both wear club suit and tie and do it “proper” because he liked to honour the club’s tradition; and that was just for a little sit down interview for the clubs social media.

I just like it, I think it’s great. Plus at the end of the day players (and particularly managers) look far smarter and more presentable when they’re suited and booted than they do in tracksuits. As someone else said, middle aged guys in tracksuits is never a great look. I just like the whole thing of a rangers manager looking smart and presentable. Winning trophies is the priority but I don’t see why it should make honouring the club’s traditions any less of a requirement.

 

[Mabearette]

He’s at Rangers now, so he’s now a suited and booted type man.

His two immediate predecessors always turned out smart. Keep it going please.

Say what you want about them but those two looked great in the suit.

And of course my biggest hero ever also looked smart as feck in the suit

 

[GingerbreadGirl]

You do realise it was a joke, right?

I mean... right?

Obviously not. I mean come on, i see deadly serious posts just like that day in, day out on here so there was absolutely no way of telling yours was any different.

Watching the Chelsea v Liverpool game.

One manager looks very smart and one looks like he is going to ask fur spare chinge. Says it all.

You turn up not looking the part it will cascade down to the staff underneath you that you don't care (consciously or unconsciously).

 

[blueintheface]

I'd take it further and refuse entry through the home turnstiles of those not wearing suits.

Standards start with the supporters.

How they perform rather than how they dress is more important to me

It won’t as Klopp and Pocchetino’s careers prove.

Why does it have to be one or the other? Can maintaining the clubs traditions not be done while we’re chasing silverware?

 

[Gers55]

It’s either shirt & tie or tieless jumpered, never combining the 3 as he did to everyone’s horror yesterday.

Problem is he’s got a huge belly which is shown up by tracksuits and he can’t just wear a shirt for the same reason.

Problems only a diet can fix.

Did you say the same about Gerrard or Gio when they wore a jumper with a shirt & tie? Looks like it's you with the issue and not our manager.

 

[SuperAlly83]

Manager in smart gear. Players in tracksuits is fine

What a way to talk about our manger!

Of course but winning comes first.

 

[tazzabear]

Could be.

I just see manager after manager not really wanting it but feeling forced to and doesn’t sit right with me. Hardly anyone wears a suit to work these days. The idea that sports people do is mental to me.

How about a compromise?
Adopt a professional look.
Dress smart.
Nobody objected to Walter’s cardigan but it was part of a smart, professional look.
Track suits are not smart.

Back in the day when i used to go the stand to watch Rangers i always wore a suit just to watch them

 

[Barbarossa]

He needs to sort out that gut first. It’s Unstruthian.

 

[tazzabear]

Each to their own, Colin. Personally I like the smart nature of a suit and tie. Maybe it’s a generational thing.

It’s an image thing, a look, isn’t it.
I don’t want the manager of Rangers looking scruffy.
I don’t want the manager of Rangers looking like an ordinary Joe.

 

[MartinS93]

Well, I do.
I want our manager, and our players, to look like they’re above us ordinary joes.

I want them to finish the league on top and win cup competitions.

Nonsense like what they're wearing plays no part in that.

One of them is a champions league winner, the other looks smart in a suit.

Always the most important thing but there are a number of traditions that are associated with the Rangers that I would like to see continued.
The manager’s dress code is one of these.

Each to their own. Genuinely don't care.

 

[wgodfrey]

Middle-aged blokes in tracksuits isn't a good look, suited and booted.

Completely agree. Would hate to see a manager of ours stood in his technical area kitted out like Tony Pulis.

 

[GovanPerson]

Tracky shouldn't be an option at Rangers

One managers won every trophy there is to win and the other hasn’t.
