Sorry, but that has done it for me.
You don't put a right footed player, you don't trust, at left back, yet leave your left footed defender at right back.
Fcking stupid.
A shapeless, gutless performance. Players walking, not challenging, arguing with each other. No shape, no desire.
Something has to happen and fast as we have relegation written all over us.
***having had a good night's sleep, I don't want MC sacked, I just can't sit through this anymore. I actually hate this club at the moment.*** [Post edited 6 Nov 6:38]

You’ve been duped and conned like the owners were.
Retexo was a 2-man band, consisting of Nourry and his mate Charles Gould.
Nourry, the self styled “Lionel Messi of Football Business” via his media / journalist website, gave himself the grandiose title of Managing Partner for Europe.
More precisely, he was Managing Partner of none. So, as good at it sounds on first glance, no he nowhere near “Partner” level status like at at a Big 4 firm like Deloitte, PWC etc.
He is barely out of uni and prior to QPR - where he has been given the keys to everything - had not even been on a formal payroll, drawing a full-time wage. [Post edited 13 Nov 14:27]

Netflix and Disney have missed a trick with this one...Nourry would be TV gold. I expect there will be competing documentaries charting how he managed to convince our owners to hand him the keys and the chaos that followed. Like all the ones about the Fyre festival.... [Post edited 13 Nov 14:35]

Why are we comparing him with levels in a big 4 accounting firm? It’s not just experience it’s more down to revenue levels you’re being in at these big firms. I would say being Partner of big 4 is way more senior than being CEO or QPR. Wasn’t his position Managing Partner at Retexo? He was obviously doing well at such a young age.
The fact he is young and inexperienced and posh shouldn’t be reasons to criticise him. Criticise those that hired him. You claim they did not diligence? What evidence is there of that?
I’m not denying we are in a poor state. But the blame has to be shared amongst more people than just him. I think if some think about it, Nourry’s communication strategy and being posh means that he gets more grief than he would normally. I do think we have to be more balanced. Do I think we should have appointed him? No. But he’s also not solely responsible for the performances this season. |
Your last paragraph is spot on: owners, Nourry, Belk, recruitment team, medical team, Cifuentes, coaching team and players are all partly responsible for where we are right now. Owners and Nourry need to sort off field issues such as communication, the rest need to get us performing on the pitch. |  | | |

You can certainly be partner in your 30s. Maybe not equity partner. A Director in late 20s, also possible. But granted I’m thinking (from experience) more of your Grant Thorntons and RSMs.
Do we need to compare to big 4 though? Partner at big 4 is too senior for CEO at qpr I’d say.
Again, to reiterate, I think it is looking like a foolish appointment. But I’m not blaming him for everything either. |
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]

Oh but he did Benjamin. St. Jude, Christian, I mean you can see it all now. |  |

I’m not defending his appointment. Far from it. I’m saying that blame for our position seems to be all on Nourry. I don’t think that’s fair. |
"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. | | | |

I was talking about this at work with my MD who's a big Leicester fan.
By all company metrics, our company is much bigger than QPR, although of course being in the construction industry has nowhere near the same public profile or thousands of fans turning up to shout every two weeks.
He was staggered at the idea of a 26 year old being put in charge of the club. The closest I can think of in comparison is Karen Brady being 23 when she was in charge at Birmingham, although of course she also had Gold/Sullivan as owners and closely involved on a day-to-day basis who no doubt steered the ship and gave all sorts of support in the early years.
Here we have a kid, who lets say at best is inexperienced (I am with Nico/Hunter/Northern etc in thinking it far worse) and an absentee ownership who therefore aren't there for any mentoring - its only going to lead to disaster. |  | | |
