Chris Sutton has called on Micky Beale to gag his staff after Neil Banfield’s bizarre weekend outburst.
Two months after the Viaplay Cup Final at Hampden the Daily Mail was chosen to reveal that the 61-year-old Ibrox coach was left traumatised by unspecified comments from Ange Postecoglou.
After four days of searching no-one has been able to come up with anything close to critical or triumphalist from the Celtic boss.
Before the Viaplay Cup Final in February Fashion Sakala was selected to sound off about Celtic, ahead of Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final it seems that Banfield has been selected for rabble rousing.
Sutton told the Daily Record:
Does anyone actually know what comments he is talking about? I think Michael Beale should keep some of his staff in check. This is the same guy who compared Beale to Nagelsmann and Pochettino.
Beale is no doubt a talented coach, but going into management, that is a huge shout. He might go on to become one of the greatest managers the world has ever seen.
But comments like that put him under unnecessary pressure. He’s under enough pressure as it is. Unless he comes out and says exactly what was said by Ange Postecoglou to upset them, it just looks like he’s trying to manufacture a big of spirit in the Rangers team. I haven’t seen anything said that was that bad, or anything at all.
Mark Warburton added Banfield to his coaching staff at QPR, when Beale upped sticks in November Banfield tagged along.
Just ignore him, the bawbag will be gone soon enough.
