I suspect somewhere between #2 and #3. But I'm no accountant. |

Crikey - I really thought we were through all this pain?! Or at least the worst part of it. Maybe not.
Alarming. |

Absolutely this. Probably his greatest role, that and Tom Hagen.
Wonderful, memorable, actor. RIP. |

Just for clarity - the assumption here being that Stockport will be promoted to the Championship in order to defeat us next season - right? Not anything else... |

Listening to this, I don't want to come across as naive/gullible, but overall I quite liked what I heard from our CEO. I was generally ok with it.
As ever, so much of our view of Nourry will be tempered by first team results and league position - if we lose 0-3 to Blackburn tomorrow then the whole of this is viewed in a very different light.
That aside - even though some questions are clearly hand-picked and left-field (having the pitch in a North-South orientation was a new one on me...), our CEO did appear genuine in his keenness to address a lot of issues that are important to the fanbase (injury situation, future of LR, improving the match-day experience). Got to say though, I would have liked to hear him field a question on the Eze money - does he accept that this gives us a bit of wiggle-room now which other Championship clubs perhaps don't enjoy?
Whatever you say about him, Nourry does always come across as a talented, committed CEO who has a sober, realistic plan for the club, recognising the pressures of Championship life (on-and-off the field) which we're all aware of. It's not ideal, and he/the club always need to look at improving club comms and ensuring follow-up on commitments made to fans (will it get easier to get a HT tea in the Lower School End? - I wonder in reality...).
But no one can accuse our CEO of having his head in the clouds in a way which was levelled at Paladini, Briatore or Tony. Nourry's approach/character seems light years away from these and that, hopefully, will be a good thing in the years ahead. [Post edited 13 Feb 23:16]

Yep - its a sad, sad situation for Sheff Wed - I don't want to intrude on private grief. Complete disintegration, rather than relegation, has long been the only issue there.
No easy games at this level? There is one. A 23-team league from now on in. [Post edited 8 Feb 14:19]

Agree - this is the point (no pun) for me.
The last 3 years have been full-on relegation battles for us (incl. last season in many parts). Grinding grimly to 52pts+ has sort of become part of our DNA in recent times. For the team to switch from this mindset to an outfit that suddenly rampages into the play-off places from nowhere is some leap.
I don't always understand/agree with our CEO but one thing Nourry has emphasized a lot recently is this Two Year Thing - that we are strengthening and developing steadily from fighting the drop to a play-off/promotion push, probably the season after next (27/28). Viewed through that prism, last night and recent away performances perhaps start to make more sense.
The Party Line imho is jam tomorrow. Jam Today is not the Plan. [Post edited 7 Feb 9:37]

Wales to avoid Wooden Spoon - somehow. Don't know how (Italy?) but can only hope. |

One word - intelligent. In everything he does.
Is it too much post-match hype to say he reminds me a tad of Tony Currie and/or Glenn Hoddle (sorry)? Footballers who can really pick an educated pass.
Nico will be getting noticed now, no doubt - a shame, but that is our model. [Post edited 31 Jan 20:15]
