In addition to this free to read - great interview just dropped on the Patreon with a guy who's written a book about the Gerrard/Beale tactical approach at Rangers.

The Beale and end all? Column on 00:28 - Jun 3 by silverbirch

Highly respected progressive young coach who will improve players loaned to us, great contacts at clubs above us…I think we’ll see some exciting loan players

Edit - and a nice new training ground

The downsides of Beale is that it will be his first time as No 1. That, and his Chelsea connection.

All the other doubts are because of the club. Players released leaving significant gaps in the squad, budget, academy players (probably) not good enough.

We may have to sell to invest. And many investments we cannot afford.

Exactly. That’s why I say I think if you went up with Hoos et al, and you could keep Tony and the owners calm, we could do exactly that. Hoos has said as much in interview.

There’s be a lot of woe is me “what is the point of football if not to have a go” wobbling on here, Twitter would go nuts, but it’s exactly what we should do. And should have done.


Indeed, but when the idiot "no ambition" and "sign a fcking striker" twitter/facebook brigade are even at it when we're nowhere near the prem, clearly have a very tight budget and absolutely CANNOT afford to beach FFP again I don't hold out much hope.

Like any windfall that falls to parties competing with each other, it just forces prices up for everyone and soon enough you are all back to square one.

I mean you should get twice that for Willock but otherwise yeh, exactly that, exactly that.


At the end of January or even February, I would have agreed with you, but our collapse for which he was collectively responsible, plus his serious injury will have shaved a couple of mill at least. I would reluctantly accept 7 mil now with very generous (20%) add ons later. I would love to see him play for one more season, as I think we only saw glimpses of what he is capable of. But if his injury told us one thing, it is the fragility of our 'assets'. One serious injury can kibosh the whole thing. What price Amos if he hadn't picked up that first acl injury? Villa's accountants hearts must have been in their mouths every time Grealish was kicked up in the air, before they got their 100 m windfall and they could only afford to wait that long because they had made it to the promised land.
I don't know the stats but I would imagine Willock got fouled a lot more in the 2nd half of the season than the first, last year, which will happen from the get go next season. Besides, as has being pointed out many times - we NEED to sell.

There are three reasons why your perceived value is way off;

- He was named in the championship team of the season, and in best 5 players in the league - the same as Eze during his time with us
- He contributed 18 goals (7 goals / 11 assists), in 33 games - a better ratio than Eze before injury curtailed his season (22 goal contributions: 14 goals / 8 assists in 46 games).
- Players market values are typically assigned by similar player comparisons, age, and statistics - and he is right up there with the top players in the championship past and present who have gone for big fees in his position

There is no reason why he not in the Eze bracket, other than his recent injury. We need to extend his contract quick sharp, otherwise we will be getting your knock-down value of 7m.

But that is the path clubs are now taking & it can't be a surprise when you look at the list of "experienced" managers.

Potter, Cooper, Critchley, Manning, McKenna, Rooney, Lampard & Gerrard were all appointed without spending any time as "the manager". I'm sure there are many other's as well.

Good post and any QPR fan that is put off by his so called Chelsea should have a long chat looking in the mirror.It makes zero difference except he will be able to bring in exciting prospects from at least 3 PL clubs which makes us better.
Imagine talent from Villa, Liverpool and Chelsea coming here because of the respect they have for MB and knowing he will advance their playing ability and careers .

The downside of that is those three clubs are not likely to be loaning out any players to Championship clubs without a sizeable loan fee to be paid. Also, their salaries may be higher than the majority of our own players & we would have to pay all of it.

I think (although this is far from definite), that Derby had to pay loan fees in the millions for one years service of Mount & Wilson, plus every penny of their wages.

Surely the fee they charge would be less if they think the coach will improve the player.

Players like Louie Barry at Villa who was on loan at Ipswich and Swindon last season wouldn't cost hardly anything.

But why would he want to sign an extension to his current deal? He knows that the cards will be in the clubs hands if he signs an extension on wages much lower than he could command elsewhere and running down his contract must be a very attractive proposition to him. Yes, he might be able to eek out another couple of ks a week with us for another year, but other than that, what is in it for him?

Genuine Q as I'd love to hear your logic. Mine is that a player must surely be better off negotiating as a free agent rather than one who has just cost a club £Xm?

Extending is clearly in the club's interests, no obligation on the player to extend...

Can we go out yet?

He’s got 1 year + 1 year option, so effectively 2 years. But we are entering dangerous value depreciation territory if he isn’t sold this summer / doesn’t extend from here on in.

For the question, why is it in his interests to extend? I guess because he probably gets double money. Say he’s on 10k for example, for the next two years with us, we tear that up and replace it with 20k. And extend for a further two as part of the bargain. Everyone is a winner.

But, is he a winner? Even if the club fancies doubling his wage (not saying that they should or shouldn't) for an extra year, if he has to stay around for that extra year, he may have doubled his current money, but what if his next contract was to give him £50k? If that was the case, he would be losing out by signing for an additional year.

So, still not convinced there is any reason for him to sign unless he wants a short term uplift rather than a long term investment.

If he wants to stay and is not interested in money, different story. Do you think that might be the case? No, me either.

You’d sign depending on weekly wage and length of deal = security for you (see recent injury which tells any player a “career ended” could happen at anytime)

Plus, of course, most players do what’s in their Agents interest as it’ll be those slimeballs who they listen to and do what they say.

I think Willock might also look at what the club did with Eze - he extended his contract and then the following summer, he moved to Palace, so the contract extension didn't stop him getting his move but it did mean a bigger transfer fee for the club that helped him develop.

I couldn't agree more. Keeping them calm should we achieve promotion in the coming years will be key to the long-term financial future of the club. There's little point in taking one step forwards just to take two steps back.

Really, the second promotion, under Redknapp, was an astonishing missed opportunity. They'd failed once, and went back and failed doing all of exactly the same things. We have nothing to show for spending three years out of four in the Prem - that should have been enough money there to set the club up for ten years or more. Instead we've spent that time clearing up the mess we got ourselves into chucking money at players and agents. Really sad.

I remember thinking and even writing in AKUTRS at the time that we looked to be quite sensible when we went up. The likes of Mutch, Fer, Sandro and Caulker all looked good signings on paper and all players with sell on value, well thats how it seemed a the time. It was an absolute kick in the nuts that none of those worked and proved to be massive mistakes.

Also, and I say this with hindsight as I was saying the opposite at the time, I do look back now and think we should have strengthened in that January window and tried to stay up, we gave up far too easily that season. We were not far away from staying up, Leicester below us in January and managed to turn it around. We were 8 points away in the end but threw away games at Hull and Villa which were key for us when we were in winning positions.

We'd have turned our noses up at it but Palace were smart bringing in Pullis and Allardyce around those years to ensure they stayed up and are now reaping the rewards of that. I'd have been front of the queue saying not at my club but look at us both now.

There probably wasn't a worse manager to have in place at that point in time if the goal was to secure our long term financial future. I'd say in hindsight but it was probably obvious at the time too.

I wish I'd written more forcefully about it at the time but it was probably a shrewd idea to shake hands with him at the play-off final. His heart hadn't been in it that whole season, and he was talking about golf club memberships and looking forward to retirement when he thought we were going to lose to Derby.

So, have I understood the dynamics of the whole Warbs out - Beale in correctly ?

'Warbs out' came about as a direct result of Warbs telling Les and Lee at the end of the 2021 calendar year that if they wanted promotion in May 2022 then he could not be expected to regularly field a side which blooded youth on a regular basis and that he had to get some seasoned pros in again in Jan and he got in only one or two.

Then, either through bad luck or other machinations results went to schite and Warbs missed the playoff minimum target - Warbs gone

'Beale in' is on the understanding that Les and Lee have remained convinced and have sold it to the owners that the youth et up at QPR regardless of Warbs saying otherwise IS strong at the club and that they still believe in what Chris Ramsey and the youth team management are saying about their set up and they need to get the right first team coach in now who will recognise the how strong the youth set up is at QPR and that in 2022/23 the current remaining 1st team squad + an injection of under 23s /B Team players will do enough to kick on again and be in and around the playoffs

If Beale fails then will the board still side with Les and Chris Ramsey or realise that the youth set up is not producing Championship level talent or will it be time to clear out the DOF set up and bring in the old guard again

Would be interested to really hear what the actual expectation is for 2022/2023 season

He has a serious injury, really quite amazed how many people just ignore this fact when discussing where/if he might be sold in the summer.
