Fair question....I'd like to see/hear the strategy he has for the club, the 10 year vision, what are the key pillars to delivering that vision and strategy. I'd assume those centre around player development, given our investment into the training ground, player recruitment and business operations, so what are the the key objectives for these areas, what are the timelines and how they all piece together to deliver a cohesive plan to move the club back on to a successful path. I would expect this to be initially shared at the fans forum and then provide ongoing progress updates at the forums, I believe there should be 3 per season, at the start, middle and end of season. I'd expect to hear from him, the heads of operations, development and recruitment, as well as the first team manager at these forums. I'd then expect forums to allow for fans to have the freedom to ask unvetted questions to this panel, I'd like him to engage with the leading fan groups on a regular basis to get feedback and share relevant updates.
Your point about the owners/Hoos/investors/shareholders, as a CEO, his role is to manage them and engage them, take their feedback to enhance/amend his plan as needed, but ultimately he knows and they know, the responsibility for delivery of the strategy and meeting performance targets sit solely with the CEO, he/she is then measured on that.
The performance of the 10 players signed in the summer is a peripheral point.
I'm sure I've missed many relevant points, but in the 10mins I've had to think about your question, this is what would make me revise my opinion, and I'd love that to happen. |

Whilst he’s the self appointed head of recruitment, there is a lot more to being a CEO than signings, this club, despite a short run of wins and draws, is clearly not in a good place, we need and should expect better than a dishonest 27 year old with zero experience.
Nardi, Morrison and Varane are doing well, it doesn’t make him a good CEO. |

MC has found a way to win despite Nourry not because of him, Nourry is and always will be a huge issue in my opinion and should go, for all the reasons written before. Surely no one believes just 4 wins and 3 draws change that…but we can enjoy it the run. |

I'm inclined to agree with this, however my cynical side is also questioning whether we'd have got these updates if we didn't have so many injuries, as its needed to provide an excuse and claim they were all unavoidable, as they said in the first update. I suspect that if we just had a couple of injuries like everyone else, we probably wouldn't have heard anything and if Frey and Celar were still fit, Kolli may still be out of the picture.
I can't believe Nourry has had a change of heart, either he's covering his arse or he's been told to do it from above. |

Putting questionable communication, signings and organisational structure to one side, his career history, or lack of it is very well documented. He is the figurehead for how this club is run. Anyone who thinks 2 draws and 2 wins make this all ok, must be balls deep in Christmas spirit. Not sure why we need another thread on this, the guy is a charlatan and I want him out, regardless of results. |

Great result, huge win, drags Plymouth etc right back into it and bouncebackability from Celar, fair play, next few weeks for him will be really interesting. |

Its a good defence and I agree with some of the points you've made, the signings, collectively, aren't as bad as we collectively make out, but they're not as good as they needed to be.
This isn't about signings though, that is merely one element. This is about running a big business without the experience, its like watching a real world episode of 'the apprentice' where egotistical, arrogant individuals think they can run multi-million pound businesses, yet time and again get found out and embarrassed with basic tasks.
The communication strategy of any big business is critical, ours is shockingly bad, the performance director is based in Dubai when we have hit an injury crisis that is crippling us, the head of recruitment spends his time watching QPR. Then with all this, he releases an injury update, out of the blue, to try and act as an excuse for poor performance.
We have established through the research by a few on here that his career doesn't look much like his CV suggests, so he's also dishonest.
A 27 year old drafted in under the watch of an experienced professional could be great, but giving him the freedom to do as he wishes is corporate suicide. If we were a listed business, this wouldn't be happening, it wouldn't be tolerated by the shareholders.
He likes to be guided by data....all the data is showing he's doing a bad job, he can't be trusted, and its not all about signings, they're not the issue but shows significant naivety to think they would achieve the objectives.
There is far more to being a CEO than new signings, I'd recommend reading/listening to others talk about how they operate in other clubs to get an appreciation of the multitude of responsibilities and then consider if we think he's doing a good job and its all going to plan. |

Our owners are naive and clearly poor at recruiting, but well intentioned in my opinion, they have the money, but need a decent senior management team below them to run it. Brighton are often mentioned, due to their access to data etc, but it’s not just that, they’re really well run. I may have shared before, but I’d recommend spending an hour listening to this, it’s an insight into how to run a club property from top to bottom with their CEO, Paul Barber. Nourry is a major problem and must be removed for us to sort this…

Clearly a tactic to distract from the real issues, its embarrassing that they think we're all thick enough to fall for it. If this was the start of a strategic shift to being open with the fans it would have said so in an apologetic and engaging way...its nothing more than smoke and mirrors and in my opinion makes them look even worse...and sadly shows what a dire situation we're in. Nourry, get out of our club. |

I'm not saying the owners shouldn't be thinking about it, I'm saying we shouldn't worry about it, but if he's as bad as I believe he is, Hoos can step back in the short term whilst they recruit, you don't have to identify a replacement before getting rid. In any business, a vacancy at that level is better than a bad hire. |

I like him but he clearly needs to control everything for it to work. The 2 years experience were before he was a manager, so we don't know if he'd want that role. If he did, I'd imagine he'd want to appoint his own manager (e.g. Eustace.)
Its difficult at the moment, but we just need Nourry out before worrying about who's next. |

I hate the idea that fans are that superficial. We could beat Stoke by 5 and I'd still be calling for Nourry to go asap.
Someone who has a terminal illness, doesn't forget about it just because they have a good day.
Nourry is a poison that needs to be removed, whatever the results. |

Frustratingly, you're probably right. Just wonder if Charles Gould may have an axe to grind with him...or more likely that he's in on it I' guess. |

Great work on the research.
Surely a sports title like The Athetic or WLS would be interested in looking into it, they could start by trying to interview Charles Gould at Retexo to find out the truth about what he did/achieved there. Anyone remember that film 'Catch me if you can', we need it flushed out before he does any more damage. [Post edited 11 Nov 14:19]

I hope so. We’re bottom of the league, rock bottom, if not now then when? I wish it was different, I love this club, but it’s soul is being ripped out and the bunch of clowns who put us here are deciding what to do next, time Is running out. |

I won’t be there today, fair play to those who are, but I’d love to hear there is a banner unveiled with ‘Nourry Out’ on there and chants telling him to get out of our club. He’s all the traits of a narcissist, Padula rightly described him as a charlatan, and as I’ve said before, 26 is no age to run any business without great people around them. The owners are naive, Marti has made mistakes, but Nourry is a significant issue, we surely need to start telling the club we’re not happy, starting with getting him out, fast.

A reset in League 1 may be needed but can’t be with Hoos and Nourry in charge, Ruben has to get rid of both and invest in a decent board with good experience. The only way to maximise value of the young players and the club is to be successful, which won’t happen under these two. |

Marti has made some bad decisions and deserves criticism for it, but he’s a good manager and isn’t the reason this club is where it is at the moment, it’s the result of years of mismanagement and a 26 year old narcissist |

There maybe issues, who knows…but what is the point in taking players who you know you wouldn’t put on the pitch whatever happens, just to fill a bench, that is far bigger than it ever needs to be. |
