When Michael Beale was followed up the M6 by members of his coaching team, little did he know that they wouldn’t be the only ones making the 400-odd mile trip to Ibrox.

Bizarrely, one QPR fan has made the 800-mile round trip, apparently, just to rant and rave at a football stadium and to any passing TV crews who will entertain his nonsense – not that Beale’s departure has annoyed him or anything.

The fan in question – @DarrenToovey is his Twitter handle – and it’s safe to say that he has not taken losing his manager to a bigger and much more successful club at all well, as reported by The Sun:

“The manager? He ain’t the manager, he ain’t nothing.

“Micky Beale, home of Ibrox, home of the Rangers. Three months. His first job, his first job he has been employed, and he hasn’t even made half the season.

“Integrity and loyalty? And here he is look, ready to sign today. He wouldn’t know how to spell those two words

“He has taken all those boys from QPR training and he has told them what? To come all in with him. To come with him, trust him, come to the club. And he has left them all. In the middle of the World Cup, he’s run. He’s done a runner, come up the road and in here.

“And when he signs today he will be talking about all his integrity and loyalty, and what he is going to do and how good he is and what he is going to achieve in the game.

“If I ever see you around Micky Beale I’ll tell you what I think of you.”

One question – why?

The fan continues to rant in a similarly incoherent manner claiming that Rangers don’t have an academy and that we don’t have a squad. I’m not even sure what that means to be honest.

Beale addressed the issue in his first press conference as Rangers manager, apologised to QPR fans and reiterated that he did stay loyal to them despite an approach from a club much higher up the leagues and with more resources. What are their fans expecting, for him to stay there forever and reject every opportunity that came his way?

The fan in the article isn’t bothered about losing his manager, it’s because it’s to a Scottish club. The narrative that we would be a League 1 club if we were in England and that their grannies could score up here gives them a false sense of superiority. It happens with players too, remember Lee Bowyer when we signed Joe Aribo?

The SPFL might be tinpot but Rangers are a bigger pull than all but a handful of English clubs, Beale is loyal, loyal to the only Rangers that matter.
