I’ve been thinking about this for a while and to me this is a question or questions that really should be being answered at ‘fake’ forums or otherwise .
Yes, I’ve been banging on about it for a while but what exactly is John De Souza’s role at the moment?
Because theoretically Stéphan made him redundant after the Coventry disaster didn’t he?
Pre Cov we all knew what the methodology was . It wasn’t working …but we got the idea . Play the same way across all the teams so it’s an easier step for all the players to move up and eventually into the first team .
But Stéphan threw that all in the bin immediately after that game .
So from that shellacking , until New Year’s Day, did JDS then get all the sides to play with a really quick striker to run in behind and have an incredible work rate so all the teams in the club could go much more direct ?
And what about right now ? No Burrell so what’s the ‘club method’?
Stink the place out especially away from home and try to get a 0-0? Because if the youngsters have to make the step up….?
Ok so I’m Being slightly facetious.
But you see my point ? If the head coach changes the direction of how we play then surely the methodology has to follow , doesn’t it ?
Otherwise what is the point ?
And if the answer to all the questions above is no , then what exactly is this role he is in?
For a home game we lost recently I sat close to the posh seats so I could see him during the game .
He couldn’t have looked more disconnected and bored if he had tried .
Didn’t talk to the laptop / stat bods (including Bould ) sitting in front of him once and was more interested in the TV above his head .
Now I might have that last paragraph wrong . I can’t know or see for sure from Where I was .
But we really need some clarity going into next season what on Earth his role is , especially when the head coach throws it all in the bin , because the rest of the club can’t surely be playing the same way it was when the first team aren’t doing that anymore ?
If we are, then Stéphan isn’t seen on being here very long either.
Feels like a shambles to me . But maybe I’m wrong.
Would be good to find out . |  | | |  |

It's a mad and very outdated to have all your teams playing the same way. That was fine for Wenger at Arsenal and Pep at Barcelona but what you want from your academy and development teams is to produce players who can adapt and play in different systems and positions because during their career that is what they will need to do if they have going to make it.
The first team should have a set style of how they are going to play under each manager but it's not realistic to have a club style regardless of who the manager is |  | | |

Style of play and player development worked for us under Venables.
Football is cyclical so what’s trendy today etc. |  | | |

You are spot on Dave.
I can see the logic of the DS shadowing the first team because you might need DS players to slot in at short notice.
But there is no reason for every other age group at our club to be so narrow in their development.
We're not developing players to spend their whole career at QPR. We're developing players to trade and grow the club.
The focus should be on developing players for the market, not just the narrowly defined needs of our first team.
Failing to see this basic point is conceited nonsense. | | | |

What worked for us under Venables was wholesale buying of the 'Team of the 80's' he developed at Crystal Palace.
I can't remember them all off the top of my head but I think we brought five or six of that team to QPR under Venables. | | | |

But isn’t that exactly what nourry stated he wanted not that long ago , all teams would play a certain style of football to make the transition easier for young players to step into the first team.
From the few times I’ve seen the dev teams this season we were playing one up front with players working off the forward ,and has been said we haven’t played that way since Burrell came into the team |  |

It's impossible for every team in a club to play the same way as you always face different opposition.
It's absolutely mambo Jambo.
I want to be the new head of methodology and my motto is. "let's win some football matches, by hook or by crook".
This football club will send me loopy. | | | |
