"It is just speculation that Marti thinks Nourry is a "c nut" as you put it."
Two points there. First, I was limited, quite rightly, by the site's profanity checker in what I wrote.
Second, I didn't say that that was what Marti thought. I had moved to a generalisation about what typically happens with people in that sort of situation. Like most (probably all) people on the site, I have no knowledge of Marti's thoughts on the matter. |

"It gives me some hope that either the Board will step in to strongly encourage Nourry to work better with Marti and addresse the issues he has raised, or if he doesn't move Nourry out / encourage him to find himself another job."
It doesn’t work like that though. The Board have nailed their colours on Nourry, backing him to the hilt in terms of giving him both CEO and DOF roles. And there is no way practically that you can just work better with someone. It's trust and confidence. And in any other walk of life, if you work with soneone you think is a c nut and who is also your boss, you end up leaving.
It's the collateral damage that will come out of this that will be a big problem. Chair may well go. Marti clearly rates him. I think we have seen what happens to us creatively when he doesn’t play - check out the start of the season. |

That is possibly the best graph ever.
The whole YouGov research has prompted some great banter this afternoon on a particular WhatsApp group of which I am a member. |

And give it to our recruitment team and Director of Football?
I spent a few hours on Sunday cycling with a guy who is involved at a pretty senior level at a Premier League club. We were discussing our collection of midgets. He called them "technical players" and laughed. He said we would probably have a pretty good five a side team though. |

A client took me to Fulham v Palace yesterday. Eze was the stand out player on the pitch. Unplayable. So much time on the ball.
The Riverside stand is something else, with the terrace for a drink after the game. And they drop the price after the game. |

Reply | Warne gone at Derby
at 06:10 8 Feb 2025
Warne is an interesting one. He is the League One equivalent of Scott Parker - he sets up in a particular way (in Warne's case, a team of giant industrial cloggers), gets promoted every time (think Rotherham with him as opposed to now) and then gets dismissed because it doesn't work higher up. Warne will go back to League 1 and repeat.
Derby are stuck in a doom loop. David Clowes has realised how much it costs to own a club and likes it as much as Mel Morris - he wants to be substantially out. They are not going to become world beaters with that League 1 squad overnight. Much as they would hate it because they think they are bigger than him, Neil Harris is perfect for Derby. |

This.
It's a short career. He has to make his money. Good luck to him. |

Good for him. Genuinely decent guy and a good manager. To get over bowel cancer and come back to managing is exceptional. [Post edited 17 Jan 5:59]

Reply | Rob Edwards sacked by Luton

It will be pretty clear what he is entitled to receive. He did a good job in getting them promoted, he then renegotiated his contract from a position of relative strength - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c4nn33x303yo , which usually has implications as to whether he has an obligation to mitigate his loss. There may or may not be a liquidated damages clause in the new contract - if not, it is the unexpired value of the duration of the contract less any deduction for receiving it in a lump sum. He will likely have instructed the League Managers Association to act and one of their aims is to get a good press release. I suspect he will have done okay - not Conte or Potter okay, but okay nonetheless. [Post edited 10 Jan 8:32]

Currently watching Arsenal v Ipswich. What am I not seeing that Premier League coaches and England managers do? He is about a yard off the pace and seems to have the role of giving freekicks away in stupid place. [Post edited 27 Dec 2024 22:03]

What is the last striker with a questionable appearance history and abysmal scoring record that we got from Leeds doing now? |
