“ But a lot of sports regulators are very scared of losing control. They think the best way of having control is to do things secretly. My view is that doesn't work in the long run. It makes people suspicious of you.”
This is exactly the point that Clive makes with regard to Nourry. So applies to senior management in sports as well as regulators.
Thanks Clive. I’m away for a few days holiday in the sun so didn’t see the match. Your report articulately summed up the reactions I was following live on the forum match thread and included a healthy dose of realism.
So pleased for you and all the dedicated fans who follow the R’s all over the country. It’s results like these that must make it bearable. Hope we are not all brought back down to earth with a bump on Saturday!
Just realised I was out of the country for the Luton win too. Maybe I need to stay away!
I wish him well in his new job. He's a good guy and we'll always have great memories of his time with us as a player, especially the day at Rushden & Diamonds!
I did some work for the Premier League on disability access over several seasons between 2016 and 2022 and was very impressed by Steve Parish and his management team at Palace. Arguably more buy-in to the project from them than at most other Clubs I visited. Over the years they made lots of positive changes and struck me as a very well run club.
Varane - '...11 ball recoveries in this game, that bloke who used to paddle about in the river behind the old Shrewsbury Town ground would have been proud of a total like that'. Brilliant!
Spot on report and agree with you and the posters on the separate thread that the referee was excellent.
Roddy Doyle is one of my favourite authors and wrote the book. He then had help from comedy writing royalty Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais on the screenplay with Alan Parker directing. Well worth catching.
