Mail On Sunday - "Beale's antics show he's not the kind of guy Rangers need as boss"

I find it strange that it's taken them all of those journos on Mount Pious a month to display their disgust and anger at Beale attending the Aberdeen given not a single one of them said a word when it happened.

Keevins is at today as well in the Mail. Saying Gio was a goner when he pictured with Fat Alf early doors. Also calls Beale "cold blooded and calcultating...he circled his prey and got his way" :D
keevins would be fine if Michael Beale had watched the game on a tablet in supermarket car park in clydebank.

I hope he right about been cold blooded and ruthless that’s what we need at this time and may just show he has the minerals for what it takes. Gio was a nice guy that’s why we kept losing
 
The MSN need to realise Rangers fans don’t and shouldn’t give a flying f what they think they have written rubbish about the club and fans for years.
 
Surely Beale being ruthless enough to attend Ibrox like he did, shows he's exactly the type of character this particular "Rottweiler" needed as a master?
One who'll do what's required to get the job done.

The Scottish media are, almost to a man, woman and child, a bunch of fannies!
Wasn't this trip planned in advance, and Beale had a free weekend because his current club played the night before; on what basis could it ever be wrong for Beale to watch a Rangers game if he can manage to? I remember at the height of speculation regarding Paul le Guen, Yves Colleu sat in the stand during an OF game, whilst Alex McLeish was manager; not much was made of that at the time from what I remember, and rightly so. This has very little relevance to Van Bronckhorst getting the sack in all reality.
 
Boasts that he correctly predicted Gio’s exit (who didn’t see that coming?) and then gets on his high horse about Beale coming up for a game. I know it didn’t look great in the context but f me are these journalists looking for anything to put a negative spin on this before it’s announced
 
Nobody cares what this clown thinks apart from the unwashed hordes who eagerly buy his rhag each week to drool over inane insults and derisory comment about us. When we were winning 55 none of his ilk attacked the bheggars the way they attack us , they wouldn't dare because of the reaction they would get from the bheggars board .they continued with their anti Rangers agenda as they do now. We as a club should be questioning these articles but we won't , and him and his bosses will continue with their attacks and get away with it.
 
Mick Beale had ALWAYS spoken of his new found love for the club and the support. That'll do me. I wouldn't wipe my arse with these type of columns never mind read them.

I get his loyalty comments around the Wolves job don't look too great, but there's loyalty, then there's being offered something you simply cannot turn down.

....and you simply do not turn down the Rangers job.
 
I don't disagree with the substance of what he says. Beale’s visit to Glasgow was a bit crass and to harp on about loyalty and integrity only to leave QPR a couple of weeks later is cringeworthy.

However to fill an entire page going over the same details repeatedly with very little if anything written to balance the positive of Beale’s return, he shows his hand as clearly as the mentalist Celtic (well Sevco) bloggers.
 
There is certain posters on here who will be delighted what this fat piece of piss and shite has written about DP.
 
This is the new attack line. Beale was naive in thinking that they wouldn’t make a play of his visit and should have demurred. But that’s it really. If he didn’t realise what he was coming into, he will now.
 
To be honest football is a ruthless business and if Beale did try to put himself in the frame for the job because he really wants to manage us I don’t have a problem with that.

I’d rather we had someone who really wanted the job than someone who was demanding ridiculous money before they considered us.
 
"an opportunist vulture" the irony in this snooker baw heeded balloon refering to anyone as a vulture is hilarious. It's like Angie calling someone a fat basturt.

The guys not even in the door yet and not been confirmed as manager but the hatchet jobs have already started from the usual vermin.

I get more than slightly nauseous when I hear of any MSM outlet taking the moral high ground on any subject whatever.
Keevins raises the bar further, in head down the toilet hypocrisy and dissembling.

These types of mindless attacks on the club and now MB before he has even arrived are more likely to have the opposite effect from what these haters are hoping for.

Here’s a wee thought

We’re getting a manager who just knocked back a premier league club. Imagine it was them doing this what a ‘coup’ it would be a a manger who turned down the worlds most glamorous league as he loved Celtic so much it would be outstanding by the board.

I have some reservations about Beale but can see a lot of positives. To me these people (I really find it offensive to call them journalists bitter bastards be a better term) only write these things when they want to turn the knife on us or when they are a wee bit worried. Gerrard got it and Beale is the same. Imagine but they we’re getting a guy who’d just turned down the premiership to me that showed Beale had confidence he’s not a one trick pony and he’s confident he will be successful and get another chance at a job in the premier league
 
Binned it after the Rottweiler patter! haha If they're scared then I'm warming to the ideal of Beale being our manager
 
Journalists as we know are as loyal as Labradors and would never join another news outlet no matter the paypacket or how the "optics" looked. :rolleyes:
 
I have to be honest, I haven't got the time to read his piece, but the expectation of anything objective from a 'Filth fan with a typewriter' regarding Rangers, is in the same category as 'secure borders' and 'incorruptible politicians', you have more chance of Santa Clause actually coming down your chimney in a modern flat.
 
The Beale narrative has well and truly been set and continues to be repeated in a steady, negative mhedia drumbeat:

  • Is the lazy, uninspired option and the board's choice of place-man.
  • Circled around a failing Gio, like a vulture.
  • Is walking out on his current club after preaching about 'loyalty and integrity' just one month ago.
  • Is leaving QPR in an ever-worsening mess (10 points behind, in 7th place).
  • Doesn't have the class or experience required to manage Glasgow Rangers.
  • His former pals in the squad won't take well to him being named their new boss.

Aww lol

Baldy 19th Century Terrorist bastard

Dry your eyes Gary remember not to take your laptop to PC world
 
Keown in a world of pain. He can’t hide his hatred.

Rangers are a “ sad eyed, bashed-up Rottweiler” no bother Gary were you looking in the mirror when you wrote that?

As for having a go at Douglas Parks weight, again, people in glass houses and all that. What kind of “ journalist” attacks a 70 odd year old man for his appearance? A total scumbag that’s who.

Could’ve been written by Phil Machollibam an utter disgrace that it was even put to print

@Greg Marshall are the club aware of this hideous attack on us?
Only thing missing from his "article" is a reference to "Sports journalist/Columnist of the Year", surely he has one of those gongs, everybody else in the SMSM seems to have one.
 
I wonder what he made/makes of Billy McNeill and the filth directors' clandestine meeting in a car park behind a shopping centre in Clydebank conspiring to oust his former team mate, Davie Hay, out of the manager's job at the cesspit in 1987?
 
See if a journo ever wrote anything like that about the Yahoos, he’d get done in.
Scottish football journalist preaches about morals :))
" Rangers managers ought to set an example. They need to understand every action has a reaction."
I'm sure Keown is on record making the same demands of Lennon regularly.
What a prick.
 
Optics and lazy are 2 words that should be banned on FF.

I'm glad there is a manager who is willing to do the opposite of others in turning down the chance to manage in the EPL instead to manage Rangers & be ruthless enough to do what it takes to get him there.

That's not to say in time Mick Beale won't move on to managing an EPL team but it seems since joining our club in 2018, the chance of managing us is something he's set his mind to.

He will also be more than aware of the kind of 'journalists' we have in Scotland and is willing to step back into this goldfish bowl when it would be easy enough to steer clear. There isn't a manger in the world the Scottish media wouldn't find some kind of dirt on and blow it out proportion purely for the fact he is manager of Rangers.
 
Playing Devil's Dick Advocaat here.......

Gio was too nice for his own good and not ruthless enough.

We can't then criticise Beale for being ruthless and single minded enough to go after the job he wants.

He may or may not be the manager we need, time will tell, but I do want someone who'd walk over broken glass to be out manager and it looks like he's doing that.

Agreed.

within the same article he questions the morality of going after a role he wants, effectively throwing his card in the ring by attending and on the other he may be too nice to get what he needs.

surely one behaviour dictates that the other isn’t likely?
 
It would be interesting to read how many would meekly hope to be given an opportunity or those who would seize an opportunity.

In the last year I became aware of a colleague not particularly happy in his role, I knew he was looking to leave and he started performing poorly. Word started to get out that he was interviewing elsewhere.

I wanted his role merged to mine and I damn well made it clear that should the chance come I wanted to pitch the reasons why it should happen.

He left, I got the role and things look rosey. Sometimes if you want a rarely available opportunity you have to bite the arm that feeds off at the elbow!

If Beale has been pushing for this behind the scenes and in public then that’s the kind of ambition I want in senior leadership, and it suggests he’s not going to let slacking players dictate effort for something he’s fought for.
 
Rangers fans had it in for Gio when he was spotted talking to Postecoglou in public.

Then there's this

"Beale went much further. He turned up in the directors’ box at Ibrox with no attempt to cover up his presence at a game that was being widely talked about as being pivotal to van Bronckhorst’s hopes of survival as manager.

Then he compounded the felony by visiting the local boozers to advertise the fact he was back in town in a way that looked an awful lot like a man who was canvassing support. A brass neck they call it in Glasgow, I believe. A vulture circling his prey is how I described it here at the time. And I see no reason for a rewrite."

Also manages to work in a "Callum Davidson, while serving his managerial apprenticeship at St Johnstone, won one trophy more than Gerrard and Beale did in their three-year tenure at Ibrox"
So basically Timmy porn piece

Imagine having the Audi city to comment on this when they have shagged 200 kids and lied about the company structure to try and get away with paying compensation to victims

No lessons in morality from these pieces of shit
