| Nourry - How much power does this man have here ??? 14:27 - Oct 7 with 7707 views | numptydumpty |
He is 26, so young in corporate terms too.
Has he any football knowledge. Am not aware.
And yet he oversees recruitment as we been led to believe with Belk.
He not only is the CEO but has overseeing the DoF role, which previously was in the hands of a football man in Les.
The data is all well and good, but there are many elements to professional football and data only gets you so far.
Football nous is still a thing, clearly.
Reading between the lines, I am concerned that Cifuentes is not having a massive say on incoming and outgoing footballing staff. He is the guy with the knowledge and has impressed us with what he achieved last season here.
But Nourry saying we need stability of structure and then saying himself and Belk are the best to achieve this ongoing as coaches come and go. This to me is alarming.
I believe we have the right coach for the style we eventually want to achieve so why are Belk and Nourry seen as the long term stable going forward so we remain consistent in our style.
Seriously hope Cifuentes has a much greater role in player recruitment and retention than is currently seen.
Willock and Armstrong reluctant to sign new contracts and now it seems possibly reason Kolli not being picked as he upset the applecart by not signing a contract offered. And Dykes let go at last minute too with no replacement. Slightly concerning if these are all indeed what happened.
Especially if Cifuentes role is limited in this area. He is the one with the football brain not Nourry or Belk.
The recruitment this close season has definitely been very speculative ie who has had championship experience. It's a tough league and nothing like numerous European leagues. Much more combative and signings although skilful all look a little weak in terms of strength. But we can't blame the incoming players. These are their previous experiences. They have not experienced the championship.
But if it goes wrong and we in bottom three in January, it's Cifuentes that goes, not Belk or Nourry.
But we are meant to be happy because Belk and Nourry will be continuing with recruitment measured as to how we want to play.
Nourry has a lot of power. He is 26 and yes I know some people can be outstanding at an early age, we are not a normal corporate business , we are a football club.
Our director of football, much maligned was Les, but you can't say he did not have footballing experience to back up his judgements.
A lot of everyday jobs that we all do, are now recruited by AI. You show that you have a number of certificates and you get appointed above people with relevant experience these days.
It's beginning to look a bit like Richard Thompson - esque.....
On the face of it to me, this model does not look sustainable as we are relying on the main men who let's face it, probably didn't get picked in the first team when they were eleven years old at school, which in Nourrys case is not that long ago.
The fact that the first fans forum was almost entirely fielded by Nourry to me is a red flag.
I do hope to be proved wrong and actually now I am perhaps moving towards Clives way of thinking with the fact contracts of players not released.
Is it yet another way of control from the board room.
Am all for giving youth opportunities but we seem to have signed a massive amount of our football club to some young guy who has written all his new player write ups with the help of AI. Ie Nourry speak. That was obvious.
If it was my decision for the style of football to be retained, I would get rid of Nourry before Cifuentes if we were failing.
The announcement of Dembele's deal, Marti and Xavi's deals extended and JCS all seemed a smokescreen covering up things a little so the guy didn't get a bum deal at the fans forum.
Ie all could be let go anyhow if things turned.
The loss of Ben Williams the fitness guru whether it's related or not suddenly we picking up injuries in training again and to key players.
I watched the forum online and his answers to me were answers from people I have worked with in business, who say a lot but if you totally assess what they are saying basically they are speaking a lot of corporate speak because they want to impress but basically it's all total waffle so it doesn't show that they don't really know the subject they are talking about.
I hope I am wrong.
The style is led by Nourry and Belk long term.
Surely in game management which Cifuentes did last year, it's not being done this. I mean with being more adaptive in style . It's a question which I doubt this is not being allowed but again, slightly concerning if you read between the lines... it could be the case.
These are just my own thoughts obviously with zero knowledge of whether this is all true but it is how it seems to me.
Anyone else thinking along these lines ????

Im not sure how we're painting ourselves into a corner again.
I'm reading this as Nourry has pissed off a few people involved at the club, Clive included and he's now taking a bit of the brunt for a poor start of the season.
This season is all about MC getting started, after somehow keeping us up last season. He's a good young manager with good intentions. I also think Nourry is trying a different approach to what has happened before.
Lets let them try and do their jobs and judge them at the end of the season.
While we have the owners we do , any change to our approach is good imo. |

Think the problem with those stats is the sample size is too small. |
The question should be what the hell were we doing with the ball the other 0.08% of the time.
The mind boggles. | |

And, as it stands, really quite boring.
Although I was amazed by these stats from Greg this morning. Definitely not one that passes the eye test.
|
I think the critical stat would be passes in to the net? [Post edited 12 Oct 22:42]
