Steven Gerrard's former assistant manager Michael Beale has explained why he reacted to suggestions he could take over at Aston Villa by saying "no chance".
Beale was Gerrard's number two at Rangers and in his first eight months at Villa Park. But he departed last summer to take up the vacant manager's job at Queen's Park Rangers, leading them to the top of the Championship after 16 games of the new campaign.
Amid that impressive performance in his first job in management, Wolves made a shock bid to bring him in to replace the sacked Bruno Lage. Beale ultimately turned down that opportunity, but the links to a Premier League job did not stop with the Molineux side.
