Heart & Hand have called out the Ibrox board over the silent treatment over Micky Beale.
Since the final whistle in the defeat from Celtic 11 days ago social media has been fuming with calls for the sacking of the Brains Behind Gerrard.
Last week the Daily Record quoted a source denying that contact had been made with Kevin Muscat with a series of stories leaking out to undermine Beale.
Chris Jack of the Rangers Review called Beale out over transfer fees as he revealed the extent of the backing he has had from the Ibrox board, that was followed by news of the Scouting and Recruitment Department being dismantled and rumours of approaches to Graham Potter and John Eustace.
Heart & Hand have been inside the media tent since David Graham was appointed Communications Manager and been used extensively by the club to respond to a variety of transfer related stories.
Staying onside while retaining credibility with rank and file fans is a difficult balancing act.
Tomorrow’s media conference gives fan media outlets the chance to show their muscle but their access may be at risk if the questions are too probing.
Board Hokey Cokey, then pass the parcel until two months down the line the losing Director has to tell him he’s sacked.

It’s actually so disheartening that it’s like this just over a month into the season, fans have all forked out and backed the team once again & we are now looking at another league season which looks like it’s going to be effectively wrote off!
Would much rather board were…

This is going to end bad for Beale and the board in terms getting onside with the fans, they did extremely well getting them onside during the summer. Next fan forum at NEH will be interesting

Look at Chris Jacks latest piece. It’s a lot more than that by the looks of things.

They know what they have to do, but they don’t want to do it just yet while he’s still in the league Cup and I guess it may make others wonder if they are panic merchants?

Yeh the silence is a worry, either they are blind to what’s happening or they are waiting to see how St Johnstone goes! Either way a statement either way should have been made, even if it was along the lines off ‘we are aware of the poor results and this is being monitored.
