They must think we are mental.

we are

 

[Urko]

Daily Mail report that Beale speaks some Portuguese.

It’s like my Spanish “Hola 2 estrellas please”

 

[Stourport wolf]

we are

You must be keeping bad company.

I know absolutely nothing about the guy, or QPR, but have got to admit I'm a bit worried. I mean, he's only managed 12 games, at championship level - and people were worried about the Pedro Martins guy (who I also know very little about)!

I'm worried that this could be the latest in a long line of dodgy decisions, and the one that consigns us to the championship.

Right now, I think I'd rather have Nuno - but that might just be a fear of the unknown...

[Pilchard]

Didn’t Sporting pay £10m for Amorim after only managing 13 first team games for Braga?

 

[WasStefan]

Watched a few interviews with him. He certainly speaks well. Let’s hope he can walk the talk

 

[Stafford]

He's also got huge amount of experience for his age. Obviously ambitious, although that doesn't mean much.

 

[Westbakejazz]

It’s been mentioned numerous times that he’s open to coming can’t see him turning us down tbh

What could possibly go wrong. 14 games in the chump and 7 wins to boot. What can possibly go wrong

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

We are all looking for a big name, let's just give him a chance.

Just watched this and he speaks very very well.

I’ve watched this twice now and it actually makes me feel worse. It’s cliched and doesn’t actually say anything that any fan wouldn’t say. We all want to watch attacking football. His things to do when entering a club could have come from the FAs new managers manual page 1. He really didn’t inspire me. He’s got one of those voices, like Colin Lee’s that is almost a monotone and so boring it sends you to sleep. If he was the ‘inspiration’ behind Villa last season, just think Bruno outsmarted them in April.

He has 3 years experience of being an assistant coach at 1st team level and 15 games as Manager. 4 years at U23s and the rest at different age groups from U8s to U18s. What suggests he can get a club out of relegation trouble? I suppose he knows the Championship.

He’s fluent having worked in Brazil earlier in his career.

Critical words to learn in any language, gets a bit more testing when the dragon requests some random ****ty martini, mind

 

[Flump]

yeah they were only attracted to him by his name

Yeah, Arsenal are the kind of idiots who'd base a managerial appointment on who someone was as a player.

Just so long as he knows enough to say "Joao, you're off set pieces" that'll do me.

 

[Royal wolf]

**** it I’m feeling optimistic about this . I’m happy we’re going away from the mendes carousel and whilst an obvious gamble I think it’ll come off

 

[MontyR]

This might explain the latest sponsorship with a formal wear company, heh.

 

[Burford T Justice]

Fluent Portuguese so possibly a bit better

Where do you know this from? All I can see is he was assistant manager at Sao Paolo for 12 games in 2017 and then he went straight back to Liverpool.
6 months doesn't strike me as a long time to become fluent

 

[Jack Russell]

An English coach that speaks Portuguese. Very highly thought of as an up and coming coach. Worked at Liverpool and helped Gerrard win the SPL title at Rangers. Why not give it a go? It will make a change from the worn out has beens that have been toted around.

One comment that emphasised his qualities was the remark that Gerrard has struggled at Villa since Beale went to QPR. Says a lot to me.

 

[Jonzy54]

Steve Davis lives and breathes Wolverhampton Wanderers. It doesn't mean he should be the permanent manager of a Premier club.

Just like Bully

 

[Jack Russell]

Oh really, right I could of sworn he was at qpr

He is now but at Villa last season.

 

[marrs-guitar]

Gerrard has struggled at Villa for a long while, including with Beale.

2 wins from their final 11 games as a pair there, including being totally outplayed by Lage's Wolves. Even our useless end to the season still saw us more games in that same timeframe.

 

[Scallywolf]

What could possibly go wrong. 14 games in the chump and 7 wins to boot. What can possibly go wrong

The appointment of his backroom team for one thing!

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

yeah they were only attracted to him by his name

Add to it Frank Lampard who got the Chelsea gig off less than 50 championship games. That’s two massive profile jobs gone to a novice.

I’m not advocating him, apart from watching one QPR game this season I don’t know a great deal about him but I think to completely disregard him or his abilities is a tad crazy.

The whole “experience” bit is OTT with some. Bruce has a 1000 games under his massive belt but I wouldn’t want him.

The big pro for him over the Gestifute list (barring Nuno) is that he knows the uniqueness of English football, there’ll be no culture shock to him

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Have a read of this - shows his character

and his Portuguese, dont believe he is fluent but was really making effort in his language classes.

A few of the earlier tweets linking him. Also the qpr forum mentioned that he spoke Portuguese

Glass half empty or glass half full...........

 

[Supadavewolf]

Why gamble with a novice with hardly any experience, against a manager who almost guarantees you Premier League football next year?

No guarantees Stourport, we know that.

Who knows, but if it turns out to be Beale, we'll all get behind him, hopefully?

 

[Wolowolf6]

Imagine if he turns us down now…

 

[Supadavewolf]

Fluent Portuguese so possibly a bit better

Please don't bring facts into the discussion, could ruin the downright fear and loathing of this appointment

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

He must have had one impressive interview.

Fans generally tend to overlook the fact that Shi and Co will have had a chance to spend a bit of time with candidates.

In the real world, experience is on paper, character is entirely judged in interview situation. Clearly something similar can happen in the football world. He didn't get the job because of HIS CV!

 

[dewolf1]

The biggest issue of all is that he won't galvanize the support behind him. It's going to be very toxic very soon if results don't turn immediately. "One of the best young coaches in the country" was what they said about Mark Mcghee!!

 

[marrs-guitar]

Arteta was a top level player who gained experience by working daily under top coaches and then worked side-by-side with arguably the best coach in world football in Guardiola, so there's absolutely no link with Beale's situation.

In addition, even if Arteta is hopeless, he has huge financial backing and an excellent squad to bail him out anyway, unlike Beale - or indeed any coach - here. We don't have the luxury of Gabriel Jesus nicking us a win even if our coach gets all his tactics wrong. Top clubs have more room to make poor managerial appointments without too much collateral damage - clubs in the PL relegation fight don't.

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

Damian Matthew I guess will come with him as assistant

I just visited my younger brother in Italy ( he has lived there more than 30 years ) ….he said do not try your Italian out it’s embarrassing because they understand your English so much better than they will understand your Italian. And never order two beers in Spanish.

Duas cervejas por favor with a Russian accent May do it in Portugal …otherwise stick to English …although I am not sure my brother ever met anyone who spoke black country English.

 

[oldgoldheart]

It’s happening, well, we have asked to activate his release clause

Can’t say where I’ve had this from unfortunately

He may still say no though. Not sure i would take the role if i were him.

[sillytuna]

Mixed feelings but I will say this is a forward thinking appointment. Not mendes, very highly respected, plays a style to suit the players, huge potential, knows the english game (which was an issue for lage for sure).

Looking forwards to sunday if we get this one over the line.
