Blimey that was quick. He's gone from insisting that "I have a project to finish at QPR" to dumping them for the other Rangers and being sacked in a two horse race to becoming Sunderland's shortest serving permanent Manager of all time. Perhaps he should go back to being a coach/number two?
Better suited to a career as second hand car salesman by all accounts. No offence intended to second hand car salesmen.
Birmingham City can confirm that Manager, Tony Mowbray, requires medical treatment which means he will be temporarily stepping away from the on-site management of the Club for a period of approximately six to eight weeks.
Assistant Manager, Mark Venus, will assume temporary responsibility for the team with immediate effect.
Mowbray has actually been doing an OK job, with four wins from seven games in charge, at Birmingham following the Rooney debacle including the last two games which, ironically, culminated in the defeat of the club that sacked him, Sunderland and that resulted in them booting out Beale today.
Michael Beale really should've stayed at QPR and proved his worth as a Manager. Now the good reputation as a tactical coach and planner under Stevie G has been lost. He talked about loyalty yet quit QPR as soon as The Scottish Rangers came calling.
Going to Rangers where you fail if you finish 2nd to Celtic was always going to be a goldfish bowl existence. Sunderland was the wrong job at the wrong time as Mowbray was popular and Beale was getting grief from day One.
Managerial reputations are easily lost. Beale, after being though of as being the "brains" behind Gerrard, has now failed twice in a row, which will be hard to come back from. And so often clubs and managers just get it wrong.
Darren Moore gets Wednesday promoted, but for whatever reason isn't kept on. His replacement Xisco Muniz was a complete disaster, and now they have Rohl who is doing a decent job. Huddersfield meanwhile decide in September, for some strange reason to replace Warnock with Darren Moore. Darren Moore is a disaster, and they're on their 3rd manager of the season now.
Not sure where Beale goes from here , might have to go back to a larger clubs U21s/first team coach type role and build back from there. Yes I did quite want him when Adkins was appointed when he was still a young first team coach and the tactics mind with Gerrard at Rangers but his last 3 jobs as a No1 have all been disasters.
Here's hoping he has some utterly bizarre training methods and awful people management skills that completely loses him the dressing room and it all implodes for the stripey tossers.
Forest Green will be hard to beat, and this doesn't include caretakers.
Ian Burchnall 27/5/22 to 25/1/23 Duncan Ferguson 26/1/23 to 4/7/23 David Horseman 17/7/23 to 20/12/23 Troy Deeney 20/12/23 to 18/1/24 Steve Cotterill 25/1/24 onwards

The Appleton/Beale dream team now coming to a team near you (if you’re non-league).

Trying to set some records before they go out the EFL.
For a 3 year project where he will have initial success( mainly !) and then will get a lovely big pay off and then will repeat one or two more time before retiring with his multi millions and TBF a winning CV overall. I wish him a special retirement in 2026 or 2028

So that's Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern all on the hunt for a new manager this summer.

Madrid job would've surely interested him but Ancelotti still has 1 more year left. So Klopp going this summer does Liverpool a big favour.
