My mate's daughter in law works in property and she tells me that Michael Beale has bought a house recently (this week) in South Queensferry. The thinking is that he will be Hibs manager soon.

Surely Hibs are not that stupid.

That might be his level, by all accounts I think his reputation as a coach was never bad, he was just brutal as a manager. Some of his signings for us were good.

Burt he had a place in Stirlingshire. Balfron I'm sure having lived in buchlyvie before that. Few players live out this way. Know Cantwell lives in Drymen.

@dado, beale didn't pick the players to sign, he just played them in the wrong positions. Tactically he had the rite idea with quick, skillful playing but he lacked leadership and drive. The players ruled the dressing room and imo that's why Gerrard failed. The players and captain are just as guilty as the manager of failing their duties.

Willie Sam I agree think that’s why old heads need cleared out too players need to get back to a stage where they think if they don’t do as told they will be benched or out door and not that they can get manager the sack board need to firmly stand behind a manager and get rid of any trouble makers.

Beale was a great coach for us during Gerrard's era, had us playing easily the best football since Gerrard / Beale joined to date, no coach since has had us playing like that, with that kind of pace, skill and precision, brought us some good players, Butland, Sterling, Cantwell, Raskin, Danilo, Sima, the better players of the ones he signed / loaned for the club and was both manager and DoF all rolled into one which must have been a nightmare to do both with no help.

So Beale deserves plenty of credit for what he gave to rangers over those years, sure it all went to rubbish near the end of his tenure, but that happens to every manager, eventually.

Gerrard was pushed out of the club for asking for more money which he was promised, then the board did not deliver and made him the scapegoat for there shortcomings, best manager we have had since we went down, has the best record of all our managers since that era to now, 1 loss in 4 for Gerrard, and a match goal score average of 4-1
And managed to stop Celtic taking 10 in a row, so yes 1 trophy none the less a very significant trophy for that reason alone.
Not to mention under the manager / Coach role of Gerrard / Beale we went the that trophy season undefeated, the amount of records the club broke both domestically and abroad, was nuts.
Add to that the squad Gio got to the Europa final with was all Gerrards team, one he assembled for a mere 13 mill.
