If reports are true about watling and Banfield being in beale backroom staff then that's a huge bonus, both of them have wealth of experience with arsenal and west ham.

Over the moon with beale think he will have us playing good football, might need a bit of time to get the team sorted but with us 9 points behind he can take the rest of the season to sort it out see who he wants to keep and who he wants out. Can't wait for the hibs game.

Terrible appointment. The so called “brains behind Gerrard” only knows one formation, and by the time they snaked us and ran to Villa (Beale was guilty of that too remember), other teams had figured us out.

He will be the next Ian Cathro or Austin McPhee, a well thought of coach who lacks the personality to carry off a manager’s role. Very different job setting out the cones and doing the tactics board to being the head honcho.

The best that can come of this is that it’s over quickly, and this daft experiment doesn’t bleed into next year. Hopefully his inevitable failure means Wilson goes out the door with him.

I realise I will get a backlash for this, but I’ll see you in a few months when I’m proven right.

What I will finish by saying is that regardless of the above, I will as I always do, give the team my full backing. I did it for Gerrard, did it for Gio and I’ll do it for Beale.

13.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 14:36:56
Time to unite and get behind the new manager and the squad.

WATP.

14.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 14:49:05
Now that’s Beale confirmed he will get my backing.
I sincerely hope the board gives him both the funds and license to make the moves required, as I think moving players out could be as crucial as those brought in.
The loan market hasn’t always been kind but see that Eddie Howe suggested Ryan Fraser makes a move ‘loan or permanent’ in order for game time. To me would be an ideal signing even short term (assuming he remains fit) . Fast, direct, understands Scottish Football and keen to keep his Scotland place.

15.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 14:55:27
Ryan Fraser played 20 games in Scottish football 10 years ago, not sure he knows the game up here.

I am personally delighted with this appointment. Welcome back.

17.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 16:04:29
Whether or not he's the one we wanted let's get behind him. What's the point in hoping he fails just to say told u so. With the backing of the fans it can make a huge difference to make it successful or not. Ibrox baby. Let's make it work.

18.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 16:12:01
Mcnaughten, Fraser would be a quality signing imo.

Mark44 - I won’t be booing him unlike some of the clowns booing the team this season. I’m within my rights as a season ticket holder to question the credentials of how a man with 20 odd games as a manager is qualified to manage our club. Standards have fallen hugely since the days of Walter and Advocaat if you think his CV is good enough.

GVB - I saw every single game Gerrard managed for Rangers and in only ONE game in 3 and a bit years did he play anything other than 4321. Hardly a tactical genius.

He did the dirty on us with Gerrard and has done it again to QPR. Standards have fallen so low that we are accepting a man of this calibre as our manager.

28 Nov 2022 18:00:34
Mark you are completely wrong to say that every fan allowed an opinion whether you agree or not but doesn’t make them less of a rangers fan. I didn’t want him but will back him 100% but theswagman is entitled to his opinion as a rangers fan.

26.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 18:04:03
Totally agree theswagman. Entitled to your opinion. I too am underwhelmed by the appointment of a manager with half a seasons experience. All this get behind him crap as well is laughable.

27.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 18:33:12
Gerrard never ever played 4231 swagman, you go look at M Beale tactics if not working in the game he changes it, he only gets praise for everybody about his tactics i have not heard anyone saying he is not very clued up on them.

Firstly disappointed to see Gio go, I felt he was unlucky this season with loosing important players to injury and the players hadn’t bought into his system. Good luck Gio with your next challenge, once a Ranger always a Ranger (you’ve said so yourself) .
Exited to see what brand of football we play under Mick and his team of coaches.
When Souness left and Walter was appointed manager it was his first job as a manager and felt underwhelming at the time, the rest was history though. I’m not saying this is the same but let’s just give him some time and a chance to make his own history with the club we love.
I’m fully behind him as I have been with all our managers.

29.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 19:27:28
Swagman and Unbeliever, you complain about his lack of experience as a manager, how much experience did Souness have, or Smith for that matter. They did pretty well at our Club! Bringing in a top quality manager with loads of experience, (in the unlikely event that we could have got one), wouldn't necessarily have meant success.
Beale is no different than any other manager, he will need the full backing of our Board if he is to have any chance of success. If he is given the funds needed then I have every confidence that he will be a success.
That for me is the most important issue.

30.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 20:08:47
All the best Mick. Let's go!

31.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 20:41:54
The swagman may I remind you that Graham souness, Walter Smith, Steven gerrard all had no experience as a manager yet all had different levels of success yet Pedro caxinha, Paul le Guen, Mark Warburton, gio van bronkhorst all had plenty off experience yet all failed to a certain degree some spectacularly. Any man woman or child that pulls on that Jersey or wears the suit and tie deserves our support until they fail don't judge them and give them the support they need. The club needs a united support, not back biters and people who have written off the staff before a ball is kicked. Play up the Rangers.

32.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 21:42:01
Gone are the days where we can attract someone with CV of a Dick Advocaat, it’s sad but it’s true. Whether people like it or not, Michael Beale is our 18th manager and deserves our full backing going forward. If anything the players he knows will fight for him for the rest of the season and despite the 9 point deficit the league is far from over.

33.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 21:45:37
People comparing him to Souness and Smith…you are absolutely clueless. Souness won everything as a player, Smith had a far better CV as a coach. Beale has done nothing. Honestly man, absolutely no ambition, no standards in our support anymore. 20 years ago we would have chased the board for something this poor, now we are celebrating like some rookie manager is a coup.

34.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 21:48:51
It’s laughable getting behind our new manager? What’s laughable is the negativity when he’s just in the door. Guy could of went to wolves knocked it back but when the famous called he came running tells me everything a need to know he’s one of us.

35.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 22:39:38
Not a 100% sure ( hope I'm proved wrong) it's the right move for us, but MB will get my 100% backing. This time the board have to step up to the plate and back the man they have picked. Think they let gio down big style in the transfer/ money available. Not saying this is the board fault but a Dutch manager and backroom team and they don't sign a Dutch player why?

36.) 28 Nov 2022
28 Nov 2022 23:00:23
Rotiom because the Dutch players he wanted where not interested in coming to Scotland, it has be mentioned on here many times.

37.) 29 Nov 2022
29 Nov 2022 08:52:12
Mull, I'm not sure how you can think the board let Gio down in the transfer window, 7 players signed this summer with 3 players contracts extended, it's been along time since we spent that sort of money, this board can't be blamed for not backing Gio.

38.) 29 Nov 2022
29 Nov 2022 09:26:18
Mull because four off them did not want to play in Scotland.

I think fact that anti Rangers brigade in media and fans of other teams are having a field day is good. It tells me the appointment is putting doubts in their minds and they are terrified that Beale will deliver 56 in a couple of years.
I got the same vibes when Gerrard was showing signs of delivering, the anti Rangers brigade wanted him back down to England at double speed.
Remember Gerrard and Beale had measure of Lennon's Celtic and while I accept that lot have improved a good bit recently, I reckon doubts will creep back into the minds of Celtic and their "Camp Followers"
Bring it on! WATP.
