Anyone heard anything about us approaching Birmingham City about their manager John Eustace?

I read something about it yesterday mate but it wasn’t a rumour it was more of along the lines of if we were to, also read today Birmingham have identified Wayne Rooney as who they want if eustace was to be tempted away. Again though it was an if there was nothing in any 2 reports to suggest he would be leaving atall never mind to rangers.

I'll be shocked if our club decide to part ways with Beale so early. If they do however, will surely be for an experienced managed and not somebody like John Eustace.

Yes I have Highland, hope it’s not true. No no no, he’s at his level in the championship with Brum.

Still waiting on him signing as a player.

Brummie is the championship not a higher standard than SPL?

If he becomes our manager we'll need to wait 7-10 days.

I bloody hope not.
I was reading elsewhere that If the Eustace rumours were true, we'd be replacing a manager with a 44% win rate while he was the QPR manager with one who has a win rate of only 33% in the same league. That makes sense.

Better, broader experienced manager required who has habit of winning - that may happen for Eustace in future but he is not at that stage yet - so we definitely don't need another fledgling manager walking through doors at Ibrox - we need a seasoned campaigner who has seen it and done it.


10.) 07 Sep 2023
07 Sep 2023 15:29:53
Again if we go for an inexperienced manager again and again like we have been doing since mccoist should we be surprised that we are not going to win trophies.

Surely if something not working following same behaviour and choices often leads to sane results ?.

Orygbmb answer to your question . The championship is a higher standard than the SPL. (I’ve left myself open for a good tongue lashing now) ????.

Hiring a moosh from Shepherds Bush may well have been a mistake.

If anything were to happen to beale, i think marcelo bielsa would get the rangers manager's job ?.

Celtic hired a guy that had just been relegated to be their manager after Ange left. People keep talking about managers with experience, track histories of success, etc. If Beale goes we’ll replace him with a rookie, someone who is out of favour at the moment but had success in the past, or it’ll be a punt from left-field. Sometimes a punt can work like Ange did for Celtic. Of it can go wrong like Pedro at Rangers.

Rangers could very easily replace Beale and be in a worse situation. Unless there is a clear and obvious candidate out there the manager should not be sacked to begin with. A few years ago we sacked Pedro, had no replacement lined up, and had give the job to Murty for the rest of the year.

We need to give Beale time before making this next move. To rip up what Beale has done now sends us into basket case territory. If the next appointment fails, we’re a club in crisis again. We must let the situation with Beale play out and see where it goes.


16.) 07 Sep 2023

I think if Beale was going to get sent to platform 4. He would have gone by now . I only think Eustace has been mentioned because of the American ties with Birmingham owners and Wayne Rooney ties with the Americans league and he’s fell out with them over wage caps . Hopefully all the anger over the past week with Rangers will settle and the team can show us what they really can do and get 3 points at St Johnstone.


17.) 07 Sep 2023

If Beale gets sacked anytime soon I’d give steven Davis a crack as caretaker for a few games see how he goes but obviously actively look to get someone else in before January. You never know Davis might surprise us.


18.) 07 Sep 2023

Lets end the experiments for god sake . the Daily Mail said that Eustace fits Rangers profile as " a young upcoming manager" . How many of them need to fall on their arse before the board hire a real manager . We are a big club, its time we acted like one. As for the suggestion we give it to Steve Davis and see how he gets on, I just despair . Sometimes I think our fans get what they deserve.

I was just reading that news about John Euastace and first thought I had was will he be ready in 7 to 10 days or longer.

Verdant we are a basket case right now and that's down to that clown Beale.


21.) 07 Sep 2023

If Beale was going be away by now. Got to Halloween I say.


22.) 07 Sep 2023

Steven Davis as manager wtf is wrong with our fans any ex player who wants to coach shouldn’t be getting the rangers job.

Graham Potter is the quality manager we need at Ibrox. I hope our board sack Beale and we go all out to bring him in.


24.) 07 Sep 2023
07 Sep 2023 20:07:49
WTF is wrong with people.
Sack Beale and replace with another inexperienced manager!
If Beale goes I am sure the board will go for so done who has experience and preferably winners experience.


25.) 07 Sep 2023

So many want Beale out - no chance before Jan unless results are horrendous (more so than recently) ??????.

What makes you think he will his job with the national team he is at coops?


27.) 07 Sep 2023

Been expecting the `Trust In Beale` boys to be up in arms about all this sacking talk.
To my mind he had it all to prove coming out of Gerrard`s shadow.
Most of the successful Rangers managers in the past commanded respect, which is why I was never convinced by our current incumbent as a candidate.
Now that he`s in the job though i'd like the boy to be given a fair crack at the whip, give him till the end of the season, see if he can bag us a trophy or two.

“ If Beale gets sacked anytime soon I’d give steven Davis a crack as caretaker for a few games see how he goes but obviously actively look to get someone else in before January. You never know Davis might surprise us. ”

Does Steven Davis even have the coaching badges to manage Rangers? I think you need certain ones to be a manger in European competitions. Steven Gerrard was still working on his when he joined. I think the fact Beale had all his was a sort of work around at the time.

Superally72, yea lots of new posters want Beale sacked, funny thing that, don’t you think, mb must be givin time, or we could end up a right basket case.

@Old Blue Eyes - I seen you mention Beale’s win rate at QPR.

Do you know what Beale’s win rate is at Rangers? 71.5%. It’s the highest winning ratio of any manager in the history of Rangers football club. It’s even higher than Brendan Rodgers winning ratio during his first spell at Celtic.


31.) 07 Sep 2023
07 Sep 2023 22:52:31
As some have said, far too many projects. We need a solid, experienced manager with presence, something about him. A clear playing style, hopefully who has won things.


32.) 08 Sep 2023

Good Stats verdant on Beale win ratio, think the points we finished on last year would have won most leagues. Managed a win against them at end of season, beats me why he didn't play same way with Cantwell further up and all over CMac, but hearing Cantwell been playing with injury might explain it? Think he needs a bit of time, the final hurdle is to win the big games, if he can start doing that more often, things start to look different.


33.) 08 Sep 2023

No quality manager will come, we don't have the funds needed, the squads jaded and confused, has no shape, 3 different sets fo coahing tactic, and people wonder why players like alfie and kent had enough and left, we will end up woth another numpty coach, that wants to do his rebuild few bad results, and chop, start again.
Since the gerrard rebuild, which he was thanked for by the previous board by being forced out of the club.
Would you want to manage a club who's board of directors run there club like that.

Bielsa is a great tactical manager - who has had money for players at every club he has managed apart from his International stint - He is super temperamental and not what we need from a stability point of view - also he would be scouring in bargain basement for players so would say that is not his bag- IMO not for me thanks.

{Ed001's Note - had money? Wow you really have no idea about Bielsa do you? He has never had big money to spend.}


35.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 08:02:38
He (Bielsa) also had variety of contractural/ litigation issues at Marseille Lazio and Lille prior to Leeds - dunno if that is really the requirement for success either for our club at present - also he was on around 6 mill per season at Leeds for his 2 year deal.

Brummie ger what does championship being a higher level than spfl got to do with a manager's ability ?????

Some could argue that a manager from those leagues have a better budget and would struggle with budget that rangers could afford

And I ask what has Eustace done to merit the rangers job.
