Where are the "Nourry out" comments now ???
at 23:28 22 Dec 2024

Yeah we did seem to forget about 99% of the off the pitch problems when Mick Beale had us top of the league. Sometimes the on field results genuinely do control the narrative entirely.

Some of the Nourry criticism is really fair IMO. Though some take it way too far. The communication with fans, potentially an over-reliance on data (if we didn't have Marti as coach, would we be adrift already?) and ironically the bigger money signings being the most suspect (Madsen, Celar).

With that said, some of the newbies are extremely impressive as the OP has mentioned - we really only need one to go for big money to recoup any losses on the players that don't work out. Nourry also had a big role to play in moving away from the Ainsworth style of football and recruiting Marti (though I imagine he's exaggerated his involvement in this a fair bit).

I think he has been somewhat fortunate with Marti's coaching bailing us out of what could have been an even worse start, but alot of his suggestions and improvements are really healthy for the club - if he's willing to amend mistakes (communication) and learn along the way I don't think it's fair to hold it against him.

It gets mentioned quite alot about our head of Performance working remotely - Whilst it would be nice to have him UK based, the exact same processes that were successful last season would still be in place - he shouldn't need to be there in person to re-inforce this, it should already be being done. Really don't think the growing injury list is a direct impact of him working remotely, I get why it would be annoying to some but I just don't see it.

Overall for me, I think he has the right objectives in terms of where we need to move to as a club - but the execution of this has been really turbulent particularly with the injury situation, somewhat outside of his control. Certainly not calling for a new CEO anyhow.
