| Nourry answers questions on 20:08 - Feb 16 by Wilkinswatercarrier | 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. |
And therefore the question is what are we doing to make sure it doesn’t derail us again next year? I didn’t hear a lot of solutions at the fan forum, just select stats and patronising “would you like some science” remarks to make out we didn’t have a problem. Now we have a problem again it’s being billed as a one off. We’ve got staff with “performance” in their job titles coming out of our ears. |  | |  |

| Nourry answers questions on 16:31 - Feb 16 by numptydumpty | 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]

Where have I over exaggerated please ? He’s never had a job running a company , thats. Easily checked fact He’s run. Website when he was about 15 also a fact He worked for his mates company after he left uni yet another fact . The people who employed hi lee hoos wanted out asap also a fact Is what somebody has said earlier about hoos not being happy with the way things are going , maybe the emporers new clothes are starting to show with nourry . Anyone who’s been away from home watching g us know the football on show is terrible , no ambition against the mighty Oxford Stoke Charlton being prime examples recently Bingo he talks a lot issue is and this was evident at the fans forum by the time he’s gets to actually answer the question most people have forgotten what. The question was .or have fallen asleep by the time he’s finished talking . The famous what he’s achieved is better quote ,not missed a game for last two season so far I’ve not seen much to say he’s achieved anything , he got lucky with kelman and Sinclair bringing in bonus money pure luck on kelman We have given the person responsible for fitness and even bigger role this season even though he worked mainly on zoom last season and mot companies would have sacked him there and then as did the basketball company who had there worst ever season for injures last year He’s brought in some Australian kids who between them won’t make 50 appeances for the first team In all liklyhood. Maybe it does come across as borderline angry maybe been here before bought the t shirt but am not buying it this time , any normal company whos offered a experienced football person in gallen or a bloke who’s decent with football manager on his o who sounds good whe he’s talking. Would go for experience and take gallen any days of the week . One day the answer will come out why gallen didn’t get the Job or why suddenly didn’t fit the criteria for the dev squad going forward .

| Nourry answers questions on 08:51 - Feb 14 by rottcodd | What's the implied issue with leveraging an agent relationship to bring in a set of players from a particular market? Isn't a better question, what is the ongoing oversight of the transfer strategy by the board of directors? They have said that Oz produces an "athletic profile" that they think can potentially thrive in the Championship. The answer to the Norway question suggested they weren't quite as athletic and that was data-led analysis! Would this be a non-issue if one or two of them become successful Championship players in the next season? The term "armchair critic" comes to mind when people have a go at the groundsman or the fitness team. Of course they know they need to improve those areas, but why would a manager come out and throw those employees under the bus? Just not reasonable or fair for continuous sniping or carping from the sidelines. Let the club manage through the issues and support their team. I could be just as cynical and question why bloggers keep throwing these questions out into the public discourse, as it creates noise and traffic to their websites, ultimately generating income for them! |
Be interested to see how many Aussies are playing in the EFL / perm compared to players from Norway as a comparisons to that belief by the club anyone got the stats ? |  |

AT the moment almost everyone in the league is in playoff contention bar the bottom 6, it's a bit of a freak year Given the transfer fees we spent last summer and the year before you'd be hard pushed not to improve on the last few seasons |  | |  |

Yes you are correct. Worst team ever. Nourry is the devil incarnate but apparently no mention of this two games ago when we beat the then runaway league leaders. Such a dull and pointless conversation. You made your point.You dont want him here.. Nourry out.. However we dont lose for five games and nowt is said... |  |

| Nourry answers questions on 04:49 - Feb 17 with 1224 views | Hoopsie | Nourry must have the backing of Ruben to turn this club around and may be given 3 to 4 years. He is halfway on his tenure. I don’t think Ruben is just a hands off owner, he must have signed off on a lot is things, I just want to highlight one aspect of the club strategy that aims to grow the club sustainably, our data based recruitment and the buy potential and sell up strategy. We can identify the best undervalued raw talents anywhere around the world but for this strategy to work we must create a first team that is progressive each season, which means pushing upwards each seasons and threatening the playoffs and eventually get promotion to the PL. Along this journey we develop the players and sell them for profits. It is impossible to make your players in demand and increasing their value by being a mediocre championship team finishing 16th season after season. We need bigger clubs in the higher end of the championship, the Pl and foreign teams in their top division to want to buy our players if we need to make profits The team needs balance with experience and youth. Why are we shipping out Field when we need him to be one of the leaders and mired deep with injuries? If the playing side is rubbish everything we do trying to push the club forwards means nothing |  |

| Nourry answers questions on 07:57 - Feb 17 with 1099 views | Wegerles_Stairs | We were 15th last season with a weaker squad and a manager he was actively briefing against, so it'll be interesting to see how Nourry responds to coming (I suspect) lower than that this year, as well as losing in the first round of both cups. One suspects plenty of obfuscation, some spin around minutes played by young players and something for the 'Nourry is cooking' community (an 'undisclosed' £2.5m for Sam Field). As he's already stated, our injury and pitch situation are both fine, so it should be carry on regardless next season with the same crew in tow. [Post edited 17 Feb 8:00]

Ur missing the point slightly , this thread is in responce to his recent hand picked video , not to do with the team , its recent or past results purely with whats been said and mostly not been said with his recent Q+A , everyione is entitled to a choice u are obv on the hes doing ok , fine no problem with that atall im obv on the anti nourry thread , not changed my view on that since he arrived , thats my opinion . thng is we all want the club to succeed regadless of whos in charge . funnily im not the only one pulling his answers and lack of answers apart is the same reply directed atthem as well ? it is funny that its a dull conversation when u dont like some of the repliest o your questions |  |

| Nourry answers questions on 09:17 - Feb 17 with 1008 views | HammersmithR | And then you go to the embarrassment of the Plymouth away game. Stephan had been at the club for 5 mins, but suddenly knew enough to play a whole squad of youth players. That was clearly him being told by those from above like Nourry and Cycling Ben from Dubai. You would have thought after the debacle after last season we would have learnt for this season. We get to a point this season where we have injuries galore and we are having to play players like Daniel Bennie who are simply not up to Championship level. I watched him closely against Blackburn and not once did he get round his full back. He kept coming in to play the safe option which was very much like Edwards at right back. Neither got past the full back to get balls in the box. It’s actually becoming a running joke where we sit in the Loft that Stephan does nothing to the squad and then suddenly at 60 mins the subs come on. Everything is pre-planned. It just shows his ineptness of in game management. We go 3-1 down on Saturday and there’s no immediate reaction from the bloke to change the side. By the time he makes the change the game is gone. We need to build a squad of depth and quality. The likes of Bennie etc. should be sent on loan to League 1 or 2 to get the experience to increase their value because playing them at our level is to the detriment of our side. |  | |  |

"It’s actually becoming a running joke where we sit in the Loft that Stephan does nothing to the squad and then suddenly at 60 mins the subs come on. Everything is pre-planned. It just shows his ineptness of in game management." I have no way of knowing and I hope it's not the case, but perhaps some of the performance and fitness people, who report to Nourry, not JS, are dictating when substitutions are made. |  |

dont forget the plymouth game , Furlong was sat on the bench for the game , no idea why and not mentioned at the time that he would be helping the coach out due to him actually know the players playing that night . |  |

Did Bright and Manning leave because the club messed them around? Doesn't Manning have form for running his contract down so he can leave on a free and pocket a signing on fee? If either player wanted bigger contracts than they were worth to stay at QPR, then the club did the right thing by not agreeing to keep them on. This seems to have changed under Nourry, with Dunne being a recent example of the club stretching to keep a player here, who is probably not within our model of young and hungry with room to grow, then sell for a profit. |  | |  |

Small point too: we actually got £500k for Bright. Was remiss to let those contracts run down, a mistake we didn't make with, say, Dieng subsequently. And not a mistake we'll make again, as so many players are on extended contracts for (redacted) number of years. We'll see which policy is better long-term. Let's hope none suffer recurring, unresolved injury issues. |  | |  |

I 'm not someone who "slags him off regardless", so perhaps I shouldn't answer your question, but I weill. Where would we be without the imjuries in the league? Top half , three or so points below the play off positions. Even if everyone was available, we don't have enough good players at the club to be higher. You have constantly posted that we have nowhere near the creation needed in midfield to improve us to that extent. I agree with you! Who do we have at the club that would change this? Chair is the only possibility from those that we have used. Morgan has regressed from last season (maybe due to his lack of minutes, maybe second seasonitis etc), but to counter that, Madsen has improved our creativity a lot from last season. Personally, I think attitude has a lot to do with our performances & the gulf between our best & worst. Whether, that is mainly down to players, football management or club executives I have no idea. |  | |  |

I'm sure there's more than Kewall and Viduka, but I'm struggling to think of Australians who've really cut it in the English game. Was there a keeper for Fulham/Boro, might have been a Yank. I will take some convincing that its easier to teach football skills to an athlete (Usain Bolt) compared to getting a skillful, but tubby kid, fit (Gazza).

| Nourry answers questions on 06:54 - Feb 18 with 589 views | Rsole | It reminds me of an alternative 12 step programme… 1. We admitted we were powerless over transfers — that our players were or had become injured without contact 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than a CEO could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a DOF as we understood Him. 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5. Admitted to QPR, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. We’re entirely ready to have QPR remove all these defects of character. And so on…. |  |

| Nourry answers questions on 11:43 - Feb 15 by lassel | 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. |
So according to you, our chairman is happy to brief against his own CEO to someone (does anyone on here know you personally?) who he knows will post this information on one of the most popular QPR fans' message boards. IF this is true, it casts Hoos in a really bad light. It also indicates that there is deep discontent at the highest level with CN... yet IF, according to you/him: 'you don't appoint people in their mid 20s to executive positions based upon their well connected parents’ black books', who appointed him in the first place, if not Hoos and the board? |  |

We can now perhaps see why they snuck out the Q&A on the Friday evening before these accounts were released, rather than after. Wonder if there'd have been quite as much focus on questions about rotating the ground, half-time pie action, after-match beers, painting the stands and so forth if they'd asked for questions post-accounts, as they should've? Because the main question is: are you spending the money well and are you protecting the investments you are making wisely? (Also, 'how much did you spend paying off Cifuentes and Furlong' might be more pertinent now, along with 'does Lee Hoos draw a wage?') |  | |  |

Tim Cahill had a very good career in the top flight. Generally seem to be solid players in England in the second tier, Mass Luongo much maligned (and to be fair never was a solid national team starter) but he's done OK for himself in tiers 2/3 for most of his career. |  | |  |

| Nourry answers questions on 12:04 - Feb 15 by TK1 | 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. |
Well we all know Hoos was looking for a way out of being CEO, fortunately the bloke who was hired to recruit for the role said, "oh actually I can do it if you want?". Does anyone know what Hoos is actually doing as Chairman? |  |
