I thought it was useful interview, I had not considered for example the logistical problem of not having anywhere to store enough lights to cover the pitch when not in use. |  | |  |

It’s a good answer, on the surface.
But then we’ve had the same problem every season, forever. We haven’t had the pitch in this bad a state for several decades, and never had it deteriorate so quickly after a game in mid Dec. So, all the longstanding challenges regards maintaining the pitch aren’t valid to this specific deterioration.
The ground staff are fed up and the truth will eventually out. They won’t have it being made out it’s been on them, and prior years’ groundsmen could just cope better.
The same goes for a lot of answers Nourry gives. |  | | |

When did he blame the grounds staff? |
Well, he’s basically saying there are all these reasons why it’s difficult to manage the pitch, and that is why it’s in a state.
But we’ve not had it in this state for decades. So that implies, intentionally or not, that it’s these current ground staff that are failing where others did not (as they faced the same problems). If you can’t see that, I’m sure the ground staff can.
Equally, the ground staff have already started telling people the real reason here and there. It’s not for me to say what that is. I’m not one of the groundsmen. It’ll come out eventually. But, like a lot of employees, they’re worried about going loudly public with something that embarrasses the club’s leadership or isn’t what the leadership want out in the public domain, because they fear for their jobs if they do.
And the groundsmen are being personally abused on X. That could easily be solved if the club explained the true reason.
By all means dismiss the above, if you wish. I’m sure I’ll be asked to “explain more”, “say what I know”, etc, but it’s not my place. Believe or don’t. | | | |

You've summed it up in a nutshell: whatever Nourry communicates as the club line, others will provide a nod and a wink that they've heard a different view from an internal source. | | | |

Injuries aren't an issue mate, apparently. |
Yes and that worried me too especially with him appearing to be of the view that the standard of play hadn’t dropped because of them.
He was prepared to up the performances against the league leaders and Wrexham ( I’m sure he realised we lost that one) but no mention of how badly we’d played in the rest against very poor opposition.
Stoke, Oxford, Charlton and todays (accepting the interview was before this one) have been anything but good performances in most other people’s opinions. |  |

And statements like these illuminate exactly why if you catch Hoos at the right time he will admit they’re far from happy with his performance as CEO.
A key component of any effective C-suite member is the ability to acknowledge when things haven’t gone to plan and communicate a strategy to rectify them. The Comical Ali style insistence that our reality is imagined and all is bang on target is completely counterproductive and just destroys your credibility on the (few) occasions you’re telling the truth.
There is a well established reason that medium sized businesses don’t appoint people in their mid 20s to executive positions based upon their well connected parents’ black books. | | | |

I'm not massively happy with Hoos' performance as Chairman either. Maybe they could both take a moment to reflect on that?
Does Hoos and by extension the board now view being QPR's Chairman as being like a royal appointment? Purely for ceremonial duties, sitting in the box at all matches, a regal wave here and there but absolutely no public utterances or interviews. Is this what being a football Chairman is now?
Does he draw a wage for this? Has he invested any money in the club? He's been here for over a decade, retired from one role only to be promoted into another.
If it's only a ceremonial role, why not have someone who has actually nobly contributed something tangible to QPR - an Andy Evans or Andy Sinton, for example - in it? And if it's not just ceremonial, shouldn't he front up to us rather than employ his boy wonder to pretend to us that he can improve how QPR sell pies at half time as well as how to sell multi-million quid footballers? He surely can't do both competently at once.
Lots of questions there. Maybe one day Hoos or Ruben will deign to answer some of them. Would also love to know what Nourry's key performance indicators are. How does he fail, how does he succeed? It's their club, not his after all. | | | |

Has hoos now deciced to hang somebody else out to dry then ? its well documented last season of his dislike or our Previous coach choosing to belive the party line of the various alleged chats with other clubs which did or didnt happen
as has been said numerous times with nourry the fantastic ideas hes brought in arent much diff to previous brillaint ideas the clubs tried , its just been done with more fanfare and media coverage to get some fans on board as hes cooking with this and that new signing, presuming Hoos is in contact with the owners is he telling them the same story esp as he was mainly resposible for bringing the boy wonder in ? | |

Personally I think we are slowly making progress and whatever people think about communication issues - which for me there are several -
1.The youth set up seems to be on a more even keel.
2.The overall strength in depth is much greater.
3.Some of the signings have great promise.
4.The manager seems an upgrade.
5.Some decent income from selling some players above their real value.
6.We are sometimes harder to beat.
7.We are better in terms that relegation is not something that is currently concerning us.
8.And whatever others think there does seem to be a joined up plan.
However ultimately there are failings such as ;
1. Too many injuries and injury prone players.
2. Guarded communications around injury setbacks.
3. Over protection of some players over others.
4. Guarded communications over contract lengths etc but think they long term, to amortised the cost over years, so that the books balance easier.
For some, there is a dislike of the man. Not having a pop at yourself Clive or others, but you say he is not a trustworthy person and in real life those that have met him, all would concur with this. I dont trust some of the smokescreens myself but for me , its one of the few things we have to moan about with this man as our CEO.
There is a plan, but it could go wrong, but it could go right. For me , there are more rights than wrongs and it is for the long term and let's all see where this goes. A few seasons down the line is where we will be able to judge this man as our CEO. Early days as yet.
And no, he would not be a mate of mine, but for me that's completely irrelevant, if the results come from the training ground from the match day results and the overall balance in the bank accounts, then all well and good.
Yes some questions may well have been filtered and I dont necessarily agree with that approach, but as said for me, the overall progress is upwards. For me, also we have seemed to sign some players with promise.
The "Paul Furlong" thing upsets a few. He wants his people in to the jobs he feels they definitely could do. Possibly the way Furlong did things did not fit in with his strategies. So although sad for a club legend leave, if the overall strategy keeps on improving, he is the boss and bosses have to make decisions for the way they feel the club as a whole moves forward.
Injuries and some elements of communication of club and playing issues aside, I am comfortable so far with what Nourry has achieved. Am not one to look at him with automatic distrust. Let's see where this goes, I say. I think some seeds have been planted. Let's hope the sowing and harvesting seasons likewise go well.
So clearly I do have a few reservations, but overall in most aspects of the club, I feel we are moving forwards and hope this momentum continues.
Christian Nourry, whatever people's views of him and his ways of working, no one can doubt the guy is a very hard working man and absolutely does want to succeed and for the club to flourish. He is not out to sabotage us.
Good luck to him and of course C'mon you Rrr's !!! [Post edited 16 Feb 14:20]

good post and few replies to some of the points.
youth set up being on an even keel ? is it most os the team mauch lauded by the club who won the cup last season were let go fairly quikcly after most playing non league now .
the depth or injured players is much better , which is dff to last seasons poor inuured players , they are still unavailable to the coach .
not sure manager is an upgrade poor subs most games awful to watch away from home, and now at home losing games by a few goals and not down to us being cuaght out on counter atacks just bad football
what decent income ? we struck damn lucky that we signed kelman for another year and he had a stellar season at orient pure good luck
div is bat shit crazy this season and yes very lucky not to be in a dog fight
damn easy to beat
in the summer id say varanna madson and prob burell will be sold hopefully at a profit if they arent then its another season of loans in the full back postions and long injury lists
on the furlong point how would he know who can do a job or better job than furlong ? hes never run a football club or any sort of builsness this theory is based on ?
i know lots of people who are hard working and work all the hours they can , would i let them run the company they have little experience of running not a chance. | |

Just saying but your post comes across as an angry rant and over exaggerating many issues.
The loss against Blackburn was poor but we beat the league leaders before with all intents and purposes would have beaten Wrexham also. And even if football poor away, last three have been draws and injuries have decimated the squad at this time.
Overall, we are doing better than previous, but your post comes across as angry venom towards Nourry. If his previous experience was zero, which has been debated ad infinitum and true to some extent, then for a man with zero experience, he is therefore doing extraordinarily well then.
He is the man in charge and the people that made the decision to employ him are not wet behind the ears dummies. People can blag their way into some jobs but at this level the people recruiting are experienced themselves. You can tell by how he talks he is no dummy.
Give the guy a chance. Most of what he has achieved so far is decent but you are clearly not of that view at all. [Post edited 16 Feb 16:43]

"We are doing better than previous": expand, please.
QPR are today 13th in the Championship on 44 points having played 32 games.
Five years ago, on February 23 2021, QPR were 14th in the Championship, on 39 points but from only 29 games.
Ten years ago, on February 13 2016, QPR were 14th in the Championship on 39 points, having played 31 games.
So, yes, we are one place better off (having played more games). We have invested significantly more in transfer fees than those seasons, though, thanks largely to fees received for players that were signed by previous regimes. We have yet to sell a Nourry signing. So on that front too, jury is out (as is Celar, on loan).
"We are doing better than previously": it has to mean more than vibes. Because factually, it's not true. | | | |

Its beyond more than results this season. The whole ethos of the club.
Anyhow there are a lot of Nourry haters that see him as doing nothing right at all. i am just saying its a decent start and the proof will be in a couple of seasons time not now. And as said there are some negatives that need improvement.
But by the very fact at a time when we are stabilised and you are comparing ourselves to at our highest points in recent seasons, actually proves as a start point we are on course, especially when currently our injuries are ridiculous.
Any other period with such injury critical problems, we would be losing every game we play.
Even as a Nourry hater, surely you can see that our younger players can step in and be reasonable at this level, ie Hamaleinen, Dixon Bonner etc simply were way out of their depth and most of our squad is incredibly young now. The potential is there now.

"It beyond more than results... ethos": so, vibes yes. I see. It's always about results in team sport.
I wasn't "comparing ourselves to our highest points". I was literally just looking exactly five and ten years ago. Our best teams and "ethos", ie the Warburton team of Eze, Bright, Chair, Manning would smash this one, was higher in the table and produced a much better 'ethos'.
But ultimately it's all much of a muchness at QPR over the last decade. And it's neither better nor worse right now.
Let's check back in after this next run of games to see if it's really about "more than results". | | | |

Well, exactly. We’re not worse off. It’s not gone to pot. But we aren’t meaningfully better off, and we have spent a lot (for us), including the upcoming seasons’ transfer budgets without proper sales this summer and next. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect or hope for better on that basis.
Obviously we should wait until the end of the season. We could be top half and clearly better off than most seasons in the last decade. We could also be in our usual area around 16th. If we’d had the budget we had under Ainsworth, I’d be happy with that. If we were drastically cutting our wage bill, I would be too. But we’re not. For us, the last two seasons has seen serious investment in the playing side…we should see progress at the end of those two seasons based on results and we should be starting to see good transfer fees go players signed in those two years. If we aren’t, I struggle to understand how anyone could say things are better off. | | | |

14 mainly long term injuries. And so many key players not available.
Its where the issues lie.

14 mainly long term injuries. And so many key players not available.
Its where the issues lie.

But injuries, and the conditioning of the squad, and the quality of the pitch, the training methods, the physio methods…it’s all part of it.
It’s not something that is pure fluke, “nothing you can do about it”. We employ a lot of people in that Performance Department and have a Head of Sporting Operations to supposedly “own” that all. After his first season he was wheeled out of praise and adulation after a decent year with few injuries in the 2nd half of the season. In the following two seasons we have had loads of injuries in the second half of the season, with a 3rd slow start in a row. Where’s the accountability? If it’s just how the cards fall, why have the role?
Clubs work extremely hard to get their players fit and keep them on the pitch. It’s a critical aspect of driving sporting success. We might not be the worst. We might be mid-table for it. Others could be worse.
But we are clearly not excelling in that department. Why shouldn’t there by criticism and accountability? It gives Stephan an excuse, granted, but not the CEO and DOF. | | | |

"It beyond more than results... ethos": so, vibes yes. I see. It's always about results in team sport.
I wasn't "comparing ourselves to our highest points". I was literally just looking exactly five and ten years ago. Our best teams and "ethos", ie the Warburton team of Eze, Bright, Chair, Manning would smash this one, was higher in the table and produced a much better 'ethos'.
But ultimately it's all much of a muchness at QPR over the last decade. And it's neither better nor worse right now.
Let's check back in after this next run of games to see if it's really about "more than results". |
Eze was a once in a generation talent. Bright & Manning walked out on free transfers because the club dicked them about. Great planning.
Nourry has been here 2 and a bit years and to get this club actually being near playoff contention this season is pretty impressive.
Yes, we'll probably drop away now.
But I'm going to ask everyone on here who slags him off this regardless. If we hadn't had the injuries where do you think we would be in the league right now?
I'd say top 6 comfortably. | |

But as Hunter has said, who is to blame for the condition of the squad. A couple are genuine contact injuries but the rest aren't. And why is it taking so long to get these players back compared to the dates the club announce when giving injury updates. |  |
