Sources “close to Gers board” reveal boss in “pole position” to replace Gio

General view of Ibrox Stadium

Speculation continues to surround the vacant manager’s job at Rangers, as yet, no clandestine meetings have been spotted with potential suitors and the names on the shortlist are remaining tight-lipped.
One name, in particular, that refuses to go away is that of Michael Beale. Interestingly, the QPR manager was quick to give an emotional explanation as to why he wasn’t interested in the Wolverhampton Wanderers job just a few weeks ago but hasn’t been as quick to put to bed any links with the job at Ibrox.
It’s no real secret that one day, he wants to return to Glasgow, the biggest question has to be whether or not the opportunity has come too early in his career.
Writing on their Patreon site, The 4th Official has thrown their weight behind Beale going as far as to suggest that his name is the one top of the list:
“Having spoken with a couple of sources close to the Rangers board, there is no doubt that Michael Beale is the frontrunner for the Rangers managerial position.

“While other candidates are still in the hunt, the feeling at Rangers is that Beale should land the job.

“While Beale had officially given the go-ahead regarding his interest yesterday, the Rangers board had sounded out the QPR manager before Gio was sacked. Beale had made his interest in taking over at Rangers clear at that time only.

“While this is no guarantee that Beale is definitely the next Rangers manager, there is no question that he is in pole position to land the job.”

Beale is a safe bet so, it is easy to see why the board might be interested in appointing him. My only issue is that would he be more of the same? We all know about our struggle against the dreaded low block both under Steven Gerrard and Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Hopefully, he has learned his lessons and developed a more aggressive plan to deal with negative Scottish managers.

He wouldn’t be bringing the same coaching team that was at the club before nor would he have as much focus on purely coaching having had Gerrard as the club’s figurehead during his first time at the club.

Being the main man is totally different to working in the background, talking a good game is one thing, but putting it into practice is a different matter altogether.
