Reply | Nourry should walk.
at 16:45 13 Nov 2024
Whilst I've been very vocal about the ridiculous decision to hand Nourry the role of CEO in the first place, the fact remains that he's in situ and won't walk. He's been given the role of a lifetime at a very tender age with little to no experience. Ultimately, he's an employee who is there to do a job for the owners. They're the ones who should remove him and hire a replacement with the credentials for the role. |

"I’m saying that blame for our position seems to be all on Nourry. I don’t think that’s fair."
I agree with that to some extent. Ultimately, the blame for Nourry's appointment lies with the owners. It is yet another poor decision in a very long list.
However, you must place this conversation in the context of this thread which is titled "MC has to go". I would agree with this sentiment if Marti was working with a top class squad but that's not the case. Poor summer recruitment and a lengthy injury list has left Marti with an imbalanced, inexperienced pool of players to choose from. This recruitment is overseen by Nourry and driven by his data approach. Consequently, if anyone should be held accountable, it's Christian and/or the head of recruitment. The owners aren't going to sack themselves. |

He's not any old director, he's CEO. It doesn't get much higher than that. It's extremely unlikely that anyone will be a CEO of a company in their 20s unless they started the business. [Post edited 13 Nov 16:16]

When I was 16 I had a part-time job working the tills at Safeway. My badge stated 'Checkout Assistant'. After a few months, management introduced some changes. New decor, new uniform, new badges. I was performing the same role but my new badge stated 'Senior Customer Services Executive'.
You can call a job what you like, especially when you launch a start-up. At best, a managing partner with limited experience at a small start-up like Retexo is akin to Associate level at a huge global consultancy like Deloitte. Moreover, it doesn't provide the transferable skills or experience required to be CEO of a football club. [Post edited 13 Nov 16:22]

You're the only person mentioning that he's posh. Everyone else is judging purely on his lack of experience and credentials for the role of CEO. |

"Agree but we can’t use his age as reason to criticise him. Criticise those who appointed him when so young."
Nourry's youth belies a lack of work experience required to command a senior director role. No company worth its salt will hire a young person with little to no experience to be its CEO. QPR should be no different and it's an absolute travesty that the owners have put Nourry in post.
"I do believe if he was older and sounded less posh, whether people wouldn’t be so critical of him after 12 months in the job."
If he was older, he'd be more experienced. If that experience were relevant to the role then the hire would make sense. The fact is, he isn't older and he doesn't have the requisite experience so its a moot point.
Sorry to say but I called this the moment that Nourry was hired because it's simple common sense. The fact that some fans continue to defend this appointment just blows my mind. Little wonder that the owners feel they can get away with making such obviously irrational decisions. |

Whilst I remain unconvinced that any manager could get a tune out of this current squad, Mark Robins is one manager I have a lot of time for. He did a fantastic job at a Coventry team that had fallen through the divisions and didn't even have a home at one point. That said, I suspect he'll have a lot of suitors and won't be keen on joining yet another basket case of a club. |

It's pretty clear that the poor summer recruitment coupled with a lengthy injury list to key personnel is making it almost impossible to field a decent starting 11 at the moment. A change of manager will make little to no difference as the new incumbent would have to work with the same scraps. All we can hope is that JCS, Colback, Frey, Paal, Dembele and Chair return soon and we can accumulate enough points between now and January to stay within touching distance. Then use the window to make some shrewd loan signings (by ignoring whatever the man child's data suggests and recruiting players with heart, know how and experience). [Post edited 7 Nov 3:57]

I don't need music to make me cry at the moment. Our performances suffice. |

In Chair's case the percentage will be low because the opposition know he's our only genuine goal threat and the entire stadium knows what he wants to do when he picks up the ball outside of the box. The boy really deserves to be playing in a better side where he won't be marked by 3 players. |

What's happened to West London Sport?
Rumour mill that starts when they haven't published a podcast in a little while, followed by speculation that Magic Hat has been sacked. |

Echo the sentiments of others. I thought Saito was excellent in the LWB role, both defensively and offensively. If Paal's injury is serious, it's comforting to know we have someone who can ably deputise.
As an aside, towards the end of the match Coventry introduced a sub, Sakamoto. He looks remarkably similar to Saito so it got a little confusing for a while. |

He's not going to find himself in many chance situations if he doesn't gamble and bust a gut into the 6 yard box. Smyth put in 2 or 3 lovely crosses yet Celar was nowhere near.
I think it was Lineker who said he was constantly making runs to either the near or far post. 90% of his runs would go unrewarded but he'd keep going safe in the knowledge that the chances would eventually come. |

There's no hex. What you've neglected to mention was the reason Sky brought up this stat.
They explained that most of our shots were from distance, hence the low conversion rate. This was particularly evident in yesterday's match. The game stats show a decent number of shots on target, particularly in the first half, however the majority were from distance and didn't really trouble Coventry's keeper. Chair, in particular, had 3 or 4 efforts from outside the box. |

I thought he was much improved. His tackling was sharp and a good range of passing from deep. Just needs to improve his first touch. |
