I’m told that after Sevco’s first competitive match of the 2023-24 season, a message was conveyed to Mr Beale from the Killie boardroom.
The import was that he would be well advised to remain where he was and not venture into the vicinity of the Transcendental Chairman.
I’m told that the messenger feared that if the ex-QPR legned showed his face, there might be an overabundance of tranquillity from the Dalai Lama of the Blue Room.
Perhaps Mr Bennett temporarily forgot that his manager is, in fact, a man of genius.
That must be true because I read it in the Daily Radar.
When this advice was conveyed to Mr Beale, he was still in dignified conclave with his Gumtree Galacticos as he examined their performance against Killie.
Here is the genius in his own words.
I’m told that the late appearance of Kemar Roofe would not have gone unnoticed by the Transcendental Chairman.
My information is that the highly-paid striker is only a few matches away from triggering an increment in his personal terms.
Consequently, it was strongly suggested to the genius manager that the forward shouldn’t be involved while attempts are afoot to get him out the door.
Dear reader, with the basket of assets, we must always follow follow the money.
Meanwhile, across the city, Celtic go about their business with a degree of decency and humanity that reflects well on the people running the club.
The situation with Carl Starfelt is a reminder that these elite athletes are human beings first and foremost.

Beale has to get a result against the Swiss team. Failure to progress to Champions League Group Stage will have the fans on his back, that’s putting it mildly, whilst missing out on the financial bonanza that the group stages bring will have the Ibrox board wondering whether they have made a mega mistake in appointing him as manager.
It may be too expensive to remove him just now but whoever takes over from him will undoubtedly want to bring in his own players which can probably only be financed by raising money in the transfer market and moving on players whose worth will have taken a severe dent.
Bealein needs to work harder on his Usain Bolt tribute or is he trying out for a SFA ref job in the new look sevco winning strategy?
Man, who wants to get smacked by an overabundance of tranquility?😳
Mind you I have just seen a wee video of a guy burning his 55(?) shirt and screaming wwhhhhyyyyy! An overabundance of turbulence in Cardonald I reckon. Calma síos.
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder who shared the message with Beale. I’m sure he’d have drawn on his entire managerial experience to deal with such a situation.
That’s about a single season’s worth spread across two teams and with zero trophies. Genius.
This was always going to be the case with the mole..
One fluke season with Mr let’s go and they bummed him up to be the next saviour of the Khan.
In regards to starfelt good luck to the laddie and aww the best
Could you imagine if that advice – not to darken the door of the opposition’s boardroom
– had been given to a Stein, McNeill or even a Souness when they first started out
as managers? Would they have heeded that advice?
Or, would they have confidently swept into the boardroom to show that they were not
afraid of handling the fallout from a poor opening game?
[Presumably, Beale remained hidden in the safety of the away dressing room then?]
With the SMSM & Ibrox PR continuously – and undeservedly – talking up a rookie
manager and his freebie signings:
it was always going to end in a brutal reality check.
But, it does produce hilarious entertainment. 🙂
Souness not only lost his first competitive match, he also got sent off for a brutal assault on George McCluskey – himself no blushing violet! History does not record whether he braved the boardroom afterwards, although NTV published a very funny story about his behaviour towards referee David Syme in the players and officials Lounge after the 3-1 game at Celtic Park in April 1987 during the course of which Syme had (astonishingly) awarded Celtic two penalties…
Just in case anyone has forgotten, it was Souness who sowed the seeds of the Rangers collapse – racking up unsustainable debt to bring success on the pitch. Rangers were never financially sustainable after that.
We might as well laugh while we can, because NEXT season, we’ll see the REAL Rangers!!! 😀😀
Next close-season we’ve no chance.
Pitchforks and torches if they don’t win their next midweeks games over the two legs. He may be plying his ‘genius’ elsewhere.
Hope he used the genius in his severance contractual piece.
Good luck to Starfelt, I hope we replace him soon with a better player.
Love big Starfelt, sorry to see him go. Could never see why he was lambasted so much in the press and stands. Solid, reliable, committed
Good luck wherever you go big man
P.S. Tell Jacynta we love her ahnaw 😉
Whit, he was a bomb scare, his legs were attached to Shane Duffy’s body
