SIMON JORDAN has admitted he would be surprised if Rangers appointed either Sean Dyche or Michael Beale as manager.

The Ibrox club are on the hunt for a new boss after sacking Giovanni van Bronckhorst this week.

Beale is currently the favourite for the Rangers vacancy and Dyche is also high on the bookies market on the list of possible candidates.

talkSPORT pundit Jordan believes both would be a good fit for the club, but he has doubts over whether Rangers could afford either of the managers.

He said: "I'd be surprised if Sean Dyche goes to Rangers, I think there's a lot of jeopardy in that job.

"Yeah it's a big job but there was a lot of arguments over how much money was spent after the season just gone and with getting to the final of the Europa League, and at the same time getting the Champions League money and not spending much of it on players.

"They are some way behind Celtic in terms of the performance of the Celtic team and Ange Postecoglou. So I think there's a risk.

"And I'd be surprised if Michael Beale goes there because why would he want to go to Rangers when he could have potentially gone to a Premier League club?

"Going to the career path that Michael Beale has alluded to and the ideas behind it, it would be a strange one not to want to go to a Premier League club in Wolverhampton Wanderers and yet still go to Rangers after the statements he's made at QPR."

Meanwhile, Kenny Miller believes QPR boss Beale should feature prominently on the shortlist to replace Van Bronckhorst as Rangers manager.

“There’s loads of names that spring to mind, you’ve got the likes of Sean Dyche who’s got connections to (Rangers sporting director) Ross Wilson, the same with Ralph Hasenhuttl,” Miller told Sky Sports.

“One for me that would be right at the top of the list would be Michael Beale. His name’s been bandied about over the last month while Rangers have been toiling.

“I think he fits, he knows the club, he knows the players. There would be no surprises with him walking back into the building in terms of the demands and the expectations of the football club and he’s started off his own journey as a manager pretty well as well so I think he’d be right at the top of the list.”
