Peter Griffin Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It would be interesting to have an assistant manager with similar pulling power and stature to our manager. He must have a few good contacts on his phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Ty Bracey has just posted about Xabi Alonso. He's normally quite well connected at VP I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Good luck to MB, he deserves a crack at being the main man. I would be all over someone like XA coming in to replace him, but you feel it would only ever be a short term appointment as he’s going to be linked with a lot of jobs as they come available.

Keyblade Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hope this doesn't become a Robertson/Culverhouse/O'Kelly situation. We seem to have bad luck with this sort of thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Well, if it's true Beale was the brains behind the scenes, we'll just have to find someone else who is content with being the brains behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but it's not ideal to have a key coaching member leave before their first pre season opportunity. Ultimately do you think Gerrard would prefer him here? For me that's an easy yes and that's why it's a disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
