Been told today from my number one source
Beale has made it plain he does not wish to work under a DoF

I'd employ one asap.

Agree John, if he feels that strongly and we appoint a DoF he might walk away!
However, if the termination clause you speak of is indeed true (not doubting you) and we can part ways within 12 months for £500k then Wilson has been very shrewd and it changes the conversation on whether or not he deserves time, it seems clear he’s lost the majority of the support which is usually terminal so this would be a financially prudent way out.

Not a fan of Beale at all but I dislike DOF roles as much as he does. It's an unecessary meddling in the manager's job.

See this is the problem, Beale seems to be too self reliant. Maybe arrogant. If there’s a dof he would have avoided some of the flack, would have taken some pressure off him so he could concentrate on his job.

He worked with one at QPR.

We would need a ready made replacement (experienced this time) to step in quickly.
He is clearly way way out of his depth, but is arrogant enough to think he is the dogs.

Davie and he did not like the scrutiny.

John27 Yes Les Ferdinand, he had been there for 5 or 6 years in the job so maybe Mick should have had a long chat before taking the job or spoke to the previous manager .

I don’t think he’s just lost the fans, surely the board must be seriously concerned by his results? I can’t see the dressing room supporting him much long (if they still do) .

Too much talking (from Beale) and not enough delivery (results and signings)

I've always said Ross Wilson should have been replaced straight away. no way in the world Beale should have 100% control of the football side of the club.

If the rumour regarding a ‘buyout’ clause exists then it is very sensible (regardless of the manager) .
That being said a ‘New Manager’ would need to be happy working with the current squad, as I doubt even in January there would be room or funds for another overhaul. As it is not simply a case of adding new players, but equally key to move on those deemed surplus to requirements. Which means a real man manager is needed and one who is both experienced, progressive and willing to live with the pressure and expectations of being at the helm of Rangers.

MacNaughton, finding that person will not be an easy task. The alternative is to find a Manager and Assistant Manager that together have the traits needed. It was why Souness and Smith and then Smith and Archie Know were so successful in their day.
The Board will also need to be willing to spend big to get the appropriate level of quality and be able to provide funding to secure at least a couple of players that the manager wants.
Bennett and Bisgrove clearly have a strategy for the Club going forward and the fact that neither was principally involved in Beale's appointment should make any decision more straightforward.

Need to remember the board are fans aswell, if the polls of between 70-82% are anything to go by then the same % of the board will also be wanting him out around now. I think he needs to win his next 5 games or he may well be sacked.
After his recent signings failures so far I wouldn’t trust him in January.
Perhaps a new gaffer could sort out the shape and tactics to better suit these players before having to re evaluate the squad in time for the next window opening.
I really wanted Beale so I don’t blame anyone for his failings so far I just think it’s about time I admitted it’s not working out.
Some people are better no2s and it seems this is the case here. It’s a pity as he does have a clear love for the club the fans and the country.
I feel torn in a way as to whether I say give him a few games but have a back up plan in place so there’s no Messi g about, or do we take the leap now?
Perhaps the board have met today and will make a decision this week, if they’re not giving him the chop then a statement of support and intent is needed to put it to bed for now, the scrutiny and gossip will only make things worse for management players Howard and fans so we need a statement in next few days.

Seems a bit strange that Beale took the job if he doesn`t want to work under a DOF unless he knew Wilson was leaving or pushed the board to get rid of him . The DOF is in charge of more than just scouting first team players and I notice there were no Academy signings this summer unlike last year when we signed 8 or 9 . Beale surely isn`t in charge of all this as well and if he is, he shouldn`t be, he should be concentrating on the first team. A new strong DOF is required asap to put pressure on him to deliver.

Aye coops it’s at a point now we need to make a decision, I think the problem here is his signings, I don’t think we could expect to win the league this year with the amount of players coming and going.
We did however need to see improvement from the previous team and signs of quality.
What’s worrying for me is bringing in 9 players and only starting 3 yesterday.
As it stands I’d rather have sakala Colak Morelos and Kent than what we’ve brought in.
That doesn’t mean I’d rather have kept them all but certainly if it was between them and what we’ve brought in I would.

I full expect Beale to be in charge for a a few weeks possibly months yet.

But I also expect the board to have started looking at possible replacements already.

Gerrard might want him?

The only way we get by without a DOF is if we managed to get a really strong, experienced, Walter Smith type manager who would run the football side with the right guys working beneath him . Using the DOF wages to add the the managers wages might be a way of affording a better standard of manager.
