I was advocating Beale as our manager a few years back before he got the QPR job, because there was only his record in football to go by then and it was very impressive at the time. However, what you talk about in your second paragraph, together with his record since leaving QPR has me wondering why on earth we'd be interested in. him? - Suppose he'd be cheap, something which is very important to Vincent Tan based on mosr of our previous appointments with him in charge..
