Michael Beale’s head could be turned by Rangers offer after source’s reveal – Hutton
Alan Hutton has suggested Michael Beale’s head could be turned if the manager’s job at Rangers becomes available.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Gers defender said the job would be something Beale would “seriously think about” if presented with the opportunity.
On Monday (14 November), this site revealed that the Bears are increasingly likely to sack Giovanni van Bronckhorst in the coming days following crisis talks at the weekend.
On Saturday (12 November), sources told this site that the Light Blues have made the former coach their top target to replace Van Bronckhorst if he is sacked.
Beale followed Steven Gerrard to Aston Villa last year before taking over as QPR boss during the summer.
Last month the 42-year-old rejected the Wolves manager job in order to continue his project at QPR.
But when asked if the Rangers job could convince Beale to abandon ship, Hutton told Football Insider: “I think it could.
“I think there is a possibility there.
“If you look from the outside in at Wolves, that is a very difficult job. At this moment in time they are at the bottom of the league. They are really struggling, they can’t score goals, that is a big task and a lot of pressure.
“Rangers is somewhere he knows, he knows most of the players. He has been used to that winning mentality when he has been there so I think it is something he would think long and hard about.
“It is maybe worth that change especially when you think of the European adventures. So I think it something he would definitely seriously think about.“
