Ally McCoist reckons Michael Beale might have a few regrets over his "loyalty" comments at QPR. But he admits that's just part and parcel of management - as proved by Steven Gerrard's exit for Aston Villa.
McCoist was responding to talkSPORT colleague Simon Jordan who filleted Beale, branding him a 'Johnny-come-lately' for walking out on QPR just weeks after rejecting Wolves and professing his loyalty to the London side. But Rangers hero McCoist doesn't quite see it that way, pointing to how Gerrard insisted he was "happy" at Rangers shortly before jumping ship for Villa.
However he does believe Beale will regret telling QPR he was in it for the long run only to walk out when his old team came calling. He said on talkSPORT breakfast: "Simon's a bit harsh. I hear where he's coming from, he's not too happy with some of the things Michael said regarding staying at QPR. He was offered the Wolves job and probably said a couple of things that he will now regret saying, it's all about loyalty and that kind of thing.
