Why do fans think they have to know everything about the club and players? There are boundaries. Precisely. Pre internet we didn’t know a tenth of what we know now about the club. A well run club isn’t necessarily an open soap opera where all the dirty laundry is put on display. Get much more enjoyment following a successful club than an open, naive one |

Get much more enjoyment following a successful club than an open, naive one agreed. as long as the board have our best interests in mind and take this club as far as they can while giving us some great moments along the way i don't care what they say in the media. some transparancy for sure like their vision and aims but i'm never gunna expect us to win the prem or compete for champions league spots. if in my lifetime we can eventually be like we were in the 80s and into the 90s i'll be very happy. produce some great players, a couple of cup runs and a couple of dips into europe would be a dream come true. what i do find most sad about my fleeting time supporting QPR though is we've never had any real legends in the 20+ years i've followed us. no 10 year stint, no 400+ appearences etc. a couple of cult heroes and great players like taarabt and eze but thats it really lol. |

No you're right, no doubt somewhere down the line Nourry will do something or say something I don't like or agree with and I'll say so too. Just hope you're proven wrong (with the greatest respect lol) because that'll be good for the club and that's what we all want at the end of the day. he undoubtedly will, i'm sure our best ever chairman in jim gregory made some bad decisions at times with terry venables contract being one of them. nourry is only a month into the job and hasn't had time to do good or bad. we've brought in much needed reinforcements but we always do. what i do like about nourry though is he has a footballing background and is a more modern kind of chairman, a hybrid between a DOF and a chairman. my only concern is what his business accumen, my guess is he's confident in his knowledge of stats that he plans on unearthing players and selling them on. Except it wasn't ALL down to Nourry. If you read the quotes that DK posted earlier (from the offish) it states that the signings were joint decisions shared between Cifuentes, the CEO, the recruitment dept, and the performance/medical dept |

I don't care if he lied, bullshitted, told the truth or if things changed after his original statement. I'm just over the moon we've managed to get FOUR new players in to help this club not go into oblivion.
One of them has already contributed massively by scoring a winning goal and giving us 3 points.
Not sure why anyone would care what he's said. Lets judge him on his actions and so far I've got nothing to grumble about.

Fair play. This Nourry bloke has been a breath of fresh air.
We for sure need a few more additions but it's nice to see the club trying to do things the right way finally after years of being a shitshow.

been impressed with nourry so far, like how he's made sweeping and much needed changes to a comfortably stagnant club.

like to see his impact for more then 6months before giving too many slaps on back. Remember a few pulling off Beale relentlessly before he deserved it and look how that ended. First impressions very positive but maintaining standards for extended period is harder trick to pull off. Yes of course but, almost by the day, so many indicators look far more encouraging than the last regime Early days |

Done a remarkable job last season but often 2nd seasons are harder as opposition know more about the man and his approach.

Transparency, backing the manager, found the manager, and also look at all the things we are now getting sponsored which brings money into the club. Stands, training kits, training ground, what the fuck was the yank and co doing all those fucking years.

Stands, training kits, training ground, what the fuck was the yank and co doing all those fucking years. Les was never qualified for the role in the first place. TF hired him as a PR move alone in another misguided attempt to appease the fanbase and to deflect the growing criticism away from himself. So it was never going to go well, and just another on the long list of TF blunders. LF, by his own admission, said he was having to "learn on the job". We were then forced to tolerate his amateurism for 10 long years. What's he done since falling on his sword over a year ago, out of interest? The difference with Nourry is that he came with a pedigree and experience, and it took Hoos to FINALLY realise what was needed and to hire him. |

Ive seen several times on this board in relation to relatively unknown player being signed and the comment "in Noury we trust"
Why do we put this trust in a guy who is now in charge but has little experience in this position?

Nourry has spent the past half-decade as an advisor and consultant to some of the most significant ownership groups and football clubs worldwide, most recently in his capacity as Managing Partner for Europe of market-leading football data analytics and advisory business, RETEXO.
Maybe this is why?

I like him and so far seems a breath of fresh air but he does appear to have received praise before we have actually seen any actual outcomes.
I do feel people are so keen to prove Les was shit that they are embellishing Noury before we have seen and proof of the pudding.

I do feel people are so keen to prove Les was shit that they are embellishing Noury before we have seen and proof of the pudding. Don't know about that. People forget he was in the background during the last days of Gareth, and was instrumental in bringing Marti to this club, with all that's followed. Les proved he was shit without any help from us. In his previous job, Christian worked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe. It wasn't all plain sailing, he admitted to getting a few things wrong in his time advising clubs on with Retexo and that was one reason I liked him. Hoos never ever admitted that there had been any mistakes under the previous regime. If you take a chance on anything, then by default you're going to dealing with the unknown to a certain extent. But as a club we desperately needed to take a chance because we were going nowhere fast. |
