As he fiddles around with his Instagram profile Micky Beale is already history in the eyes of almost all Ibrox fans.
Those tuned to the moon are wondering how Graham Potter will revive a squad of serial losers and misfits while the more realistic are looking closer to home for the next boss.
Beale is there on a caretaker basis, one adverse result from gardening leave.
For non-footballing reasons Steve Clarke, the obvious candidate can’t be considered but there are other local options to get bears back onside with one of their own.
Derek McInnes and Callum Davidson have been discussed but on sheer coaching ability it is difficult for many bears to see past Davie Martindale.
At every turn the Livingston boss drools over all things Ibrox, even in defeat for his employers he enjoys the banter about Tav and his other mate, wee Scotty.
Martindale has all the True Blue credentials, attending European away matches as a fan, enjoying a special relationship with Mister Gerrard and is of course a completely reformed character after several years in jail for drug dealing and money laundering.
BBC Scotland has worked tirelessly to promote the loveable wee guy that sounds like the Scottish Beale, if he gets the job he can expect the most fawning of media coverage until he suffers his fourth defeat in seven months from Celtic.
Wee Davie!
Martinjail would be ideal for the Ibrox criminals, given his past offending credentials, and as a bonus he’d also have the connections to supply them with any drugs of their choice.
Dignity!
Given his money laundering past and their form for… ahem… “creative” accounting, I would have thought he would be a stronger candidate for Finance Director over there.
Yes, the reality is that sevco is looking at the Martindale end of the managerial spectrum,
and obviously, nowhere the Potter end.
Actually, a down to earth guy like Martindale might be the answer?
He is ‘relatable’ and could dial down the bears’ unrealistic expectations, and he might have a focus
on developing homegrown / cheap players.
…still won’t win much but could help the sevco finances?
Martinjail will be so whiny and moany in defeat he will make Beale sound like the Dalai Lama.
I just can’t see it but this is Sevco so anything goes there in their wee La La Land…
I think domestically in Scotland McInnes would be their ideal fit, however he turned it down before (sensible move on his behalf) and their supremacist mindset probably means he won’t be given that chance ever again –
However hopefully Beale is there for a good bit longer yet !
Lol wee Davie Escobar .
The SFA/ SPFL supposedly carrying out random drug tests at a klub that the manager has done serious time in JAIL for,for being a drug runner and money launderer,only in Scottish football could this happen.
He will BLEND right in there at the BIGOT DOME with the help and support of the media in this country.
Well if it’s him he is gonna have to snort out those so called strikers quick smart followed by the defence. !
And yes pun fully intended.
