Beale Gone

Page 2 of 6

posted on 1/10/23

Hassenhutl would be a good pick but I don’t think he would take it. The stand out in that list for me.

Muscat - he’s a punt, if he didn’t spend a few months here nobody would be interested.

Marsch - we would hound him out after a couple press conferences

Knutsen - Exciting but also risky

Bielsa - not realistic

Gattuso - Not for me, lunatic and not really done it in management

Potter - found out

The ones I’ve seen mentioned

McInnes would be hugely unpopular but it might make sense for us. Turning it down previously likely ruled him out but he would bite your hand off for it now.

Allardyce - Too expensive

Gallardo - Exciting but another huge gamble and I struggle to see him wanting it.

Kevin Muscat 7/2
Jesse Marsch 11/2
Ralph Hasenhuttl 15/2
Kietil Knutsen 8/1
Marcelo Bielsa 17/2
Gennaro Gattuso 12/1
Graham Potter 14/1

Potter might see it as an option to restore his reputation. Probably believes he’s a better coach than Rodgers too.

I would like to see both of us with recognized managers, can only be good for our game.

Beale is a poor manager, so you don't know what u might have should you get a good manager in.

Lets be honest, this is and has been your place since cheating caught up with you.

Accept your fate snaketits

I’d like GVB to come out tonight and say he wouldn’t have been 7 points behind this early in the season if he hadn’t left…

Not before time. Fear the impact of his summer signings will be much more drawn out.

I’d shift everyone of them in January bar Butland if it was possible. His eye for a player has been woeful.

Would hope Hagi loan can be cut short too. Miles better than Lammers.

Davis short term is another gamble but I’m not mad about it. The only way from here should be up
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a player in Lammers but he's surrounded by dross playing in a fairly toxic environment just now. I still think he might come good for you lot
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There really isn’t.

He can take neat touches but has nothing else to his game. He’s a lost cause, there is more chance of Dessers turning out to be decent.

I may be in the few that haven’t lost hope in him though. I think he just needs a couple of goals and some confidence
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea we’re comparing Hagi and Lammers is a nonsense.

Lammers has only played as a striker before signing for us. Atalanta paid 15m for him based on his performances as a striker. Beale has played him in a different position every week, but not really as a striker.

The fact you’re judging Lammers based on his performances in midfield and against Hagi is simply wrong. He needs a chance up top.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A striker that doesn’t score though.

I’d argue they paid that based on potential which he never realised.

But also he will need to be given a chance up top because of the money we spent we will need to exhaust all options to try get a tune out of him. I’ll go out on a limb and say he’ll be pash there too

Canny wait till Chris Sutton talks to Alex Rae again. Rae might just stab him this time.

Knutsen turned down Ajax I thought. No chance if so. Gallardo miles out our league. Potter still being paid by Chelsea, no chance of it.

He scored in Holland. And clearly has attributes. Playing for a team like us, who dominate and get chances he’s never had, not even in Holland. So every chance of scoring as many if not more if he gets a run in the position.

Potter is coining it on EPL gardening leave money. Not sure you have the motivation to replace that as DD did for BR 1st time? Aside from that, he was doing just fine before the madhouse that is Stamford Bridge and now a) he is probably wary of madhouses b) he just needs to wait and some EPL mugs will believe he'll do a B&HA job for them on way better money.

Just had a look at the available players for Thursday.

Davis doesn’t have much of a job picking the team, it picks itself with the injuries we have just now and it’s a shocker

Yeah, there might be only 11 fit senior outfield players.

All the best to Michael Beale.

As for the odds these managerial markets can be a farce, with the odds changing all the time.

Well he can’t be any worse im just not convinced he will be able to be as good as he needs to be no matter where he plays

Gattuso just taken Marseille, Marsch is CRINGE and would be huge entertainment talking about hitting the frame.

Bielsa known for doing a lot of research and taking oddbod clubs and I would fear him but he also demands a lot including total control and doesn't suffer fools - great for the players, curtains for Bisgrove. Wouldn't need or want a DoF anyway.

It would be a first this season

See if Lammers has only ever played as a striker before joining rangers, then his record is absolutely p1sh.

He’s had 1 season in top flight football where he’s done well. That was 2018-19.

Up to this season since then, he’s scored a total of 6 goals.

That 1 season looks more and more like an anomaly.

Hey children!! What else can you think of in recent years that looks more and more like an anomaly?!?

Bielsa only took over the role as national coach for Uruguay in May this year.

Hadn’t seen that about Gattuso. Would prefer McInnes, or even McCabe over Marsch.

Bielsa we have no chance for. Also our players are made of chocolate, they’d stand no chance.

Bielsa is a non-starter anyway when his lawyer tells him he is contractually obliged to wear a suit on the touchline

Bielsa is a mad bastirt - he'd have them back at Gullane puking up. His biography 'the quality of madness' is an excellent read btw.

Knutsen deal with Ajax broke down because he wanted a percentage of player sales.

That will rule him out unless it’s only a small percentage of profit on sales

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I reckon if he looks at your current squad, if any percentage relies on it being based on the profit then that would rule any deal for him out completely.

Thought almost every player he’d sold had flopped. So possibly not

Why would he care if they flop AFTER he’s made his money?!

Point I’m making is he’s not going to be able to sell many-if any-of your players for a profit right now.
