Now I can understand why combining the two jobs of CEO and DOF is a significant cost saving to the club and if you had the right person in the position with significant experience it could work. That person could set the overall strategy for the club ensure it is implemented and not have somebody else telling them to go in a different direction.
However we don't have an experienced CEO and we are paying the price, the issues with recruitment have been highlighted in previews and reports, the imbalance of the squad and the debatable purchases which appear to have been purely analytical driven.
We are currently competing against teams who understand the physicality of the Championship and if you can't match them then you are struggling before the kick off. It feels like the squads been put together by somebody sitting in front of a terminal looking at statistics and not trying to balance the needs of a squad that has to play sometimes 3 games in a week. The point was made by Kevin Gallen on the WLS podcast, the players from the overseas leagues do not have the same loading on the playing schedule and this can reflect in them not being so robust.
Surely enough time has been given to see if the cost saving would work with only one man in charge and we now need to bite the bullet and get a DOF before it's too late. It may not even cost the club a fortune, if we can find a Senior person who has experience of the Championship then they could be employed part time. It would be a difficult appointment to make because they have to work in harmony with the CEO but that's for the board to sort out.
There will possibly be cost savings with a reorganisation it happens in a lot of business when they are restructured, should we really be paying some bloke based in Dubai for consultancy.
Made me smile thinking of Uncle Neil coming back on a part time basis, I think his time has gone but he knew how to put a squad together, that's what we need somebody who understands the demands of the physicality of the Championship and we recruit players who are robust and less prone to injury.

2nd division which isn't a major trophy and we had the spend significantly beyond our means to do so and started 5 years which almost did and could still kill the club |

This is what the AI bods like to call an hallucination. (Having trouble with your prompts!?)
The 2011 promotion did not financially ruin us. That was 2014. And the overspend was by completely different owners from 2011. Our old friends Tango and Cash cashed in when the going was good. | | | |

That's the exact same trophy that the Mancs and the Scousers used to be desperate to get their hands on and still like to boast about how many times they've won it.
And to be precise there is no second tier of the Premier League. It's a separate competition from the EFL that once a year admits three of us oiks to be whipping boys for the year.
The EFL is the oldest football league in the world and draws some of the biggest attendances in Europe. It's not a Sunday afternoon kickabout:

Anyway steve its great we are going to what could or should have been but any chance of going back to the actual subject in hand and thats your old mate Nourry some of your posts remind me of somebody visiting his dear old grandad in a carehome trying to have a chat with him about the times he can remember , some parts are very similar to our very own terry cinzanos programme notes,did he ever miss a game what do you reckon ? I think he has done but thats my own view point obv
Do u think hes above all criticism?
Has he done a good . Excellent job with the transfers
Does he understand the championship ?
Do you think the club made a mistake appointing somebody who prob struggled to get into a poor sunday league side each week ?
do you think he should actually speak in english to the fans and not hide as he seems to have done , one fans forum which was so pre loaded it was laughable.
do you think he should let or have let Marti speak to fans groups . podcasts or do you think locking him away in the closet and pretty much banning him is the best way forward .
looking forward to your reply on the above points NOT how thompson was a great football owner . |  |

The trophy is historic but if we'd won it in 1976 we would have qualified for the European Cup.
The 2011 side, by comparison, were promoted.
It is tue 2nd tier trophy now regardless of its illustrious history and you know that.
For all the extra money we spent between 2010 and 2015 to put the existence of the club at risk we never won a major trophy which is the same as the Thompson era without almost killing the club 👍 | | | |

Absolutely. It wasn't necessarily about pushing on for Europe, cups etc. It was about keeping our seat at the top table because the TV money was exploding. A quick £2m profit on Darren Peacock was nothing compared to what the club would have earned had it stayed in the Prem through the 90s into the 00s. Instead the team got dismantled and relegated at the worst possible moment. |
We didn't really get relegated at the worst possible moment. We could've easily stayed in the second tier for a couple of years under prudent management, grown steadily and gone up in 97 or 98. It would have been good for the club, QPR may have learnt something important if serious people had taken over then, made different choices. Being in the Prem in 96 to 99 made zero difference to comparable clubs then.
I mean,
1996, we passed Sunderland and Derby coming up on the way down.
1997: Bolton and Barnsley were promoted to the Prem, along with Palace.
1998: Middlesborough and Charlton went up. And Man City went down to the third tier.
None of these clubs had their destinies moulded by being in the Premier League in the mid-late 90s. Some of them went bust. Some are now in a lower division than us. Only Man City other than QPR were bought by multi-biliionaires *after* being relegated.
The QPR mismanagement and missed opportunities are myriad and mind-blowing. But they all occurred long after Richard Thompson sold up (or took lots of money for a centre back desperate to leave). | | | |

Yeh writing the Oxford fixture history up this morning, now on the front page, I said that was a huge missed opportunity under Wright in the following years when we had some unbelievable players for the level, didn't even make the play-offs, then crashed and burned. |  | | |

Genuine question asked in good faith, how is being disdainful to acknowledge that the trophy is now awarded to the team who won the English 2nd tier?
I know some people back in 2011 were saying we won the same trophy as Man Utd and Liverpool - and they are correct- but you do know that it's not awarded for being English Champions now, don't you? [Post edited 8 Apr 15:52]

I would argue that Thompson's decision to give Wilkins £5.4m to spend - although relatively consistent with his backing of other managers - was the start of the decline.
Beyond that, that's an excellent post 👍 | | | |

intresting last point so reading that right ur agsint marti being able to speak to fans groups podcast etc ? seems rather heavy , not aware of any other clubs whio blanket ban a manager from chatting to fans in various ways , why is it a good idea that marti is controilled in speaking on his own to groups ? worried he may not carry the club line ? might say something which dosnt sit well with our chairman . CEO ?
do you agree hes bucked the trend to avoid having a second fans forum this season and elected to go with the pre loaded questions formats hes gone with ?
Do you think tony inzenzo has missed a game ? fair few fans do but he still says hes never missed a game since the world was created , hes not actually paid to see that many games but thats a side issue obv .
as you was around in the 90s you obv no the clubs number one fan do you think hes good for the club as a side question ? id like to see somebody else given some programme space my self , chris guy clive, there are some excellent wel versed fans out there producing content , anyway thats going off subject but would be intrested in a viewpoint if u have one
oh and as u dont sem to think nourry has done a decent job in transfers etc do you think the club should look to appt somebody who actually knows a decent footballer when he sees on and dosnt just fire up the laptop for a full back striker etc , you didnt give many positives for maybe he should leave this summer and they b
club actually finally bring in somebody whos got some sort of knowldge in how a football club is run and whats the right sort of players are for the english league not just trawling the foregn leagues and hoping he can sell one for a few quid in the coming years or so [Post edited 8 Apr 16:01]

Not sure why Incenzo has cropped up in the conversation but if you're after my opinion of him it's that I don't like him as a person or as a writer.
I have no idea whether or not he has been to as many games as he claims but if he has then I feel sorry for him as I would anyone who has dedicated that much time to one past time.
I'm in favour of controlled access to Marti.Not necessarily pre submitted questions but with an advisor on hand to step in when required.
Again, it may be the case that Marti doesn’t enjoy public engagement and would prefer not to undertake this. [Post edited 8 Apr 16:04]

As I have already said it's not second tier because there is no Premier League second tier.
It's a separate competition in its own right and is being competed for by some of the most eminent clubs in the country - and Leeds!
Despite being "second best" the Championship still draws some of the biggest average attendances in Europe and has a global following.
In my view the Premier League isn't a proper sporting competition. Most of the clubs are there desperately trying to keep their snouts in the trough. They're never going to win cup or league but they'll make plenty of money as long as they can stay there. | | | |

dont think any manager would want to answer quesrtion with a baby sitter alongside him to be honest , i dont think he would have an issue its hard to say as so far hes been kept in the cupboard not allowed it seems to speak on his own two feet , why any experiences manager would need an advisor on hand is a weird thing , if they had no english skills yes , but marti is fluent in englsih comes across as a person who would speak it as it is , unlike nourry who at the fans forum didnt actually anser any of the qestions asked of him , he did come up with some nicely pre arranged videos to deflect some questions though , marti and calm new contract the bizzare we triggered dembeles contract after 5 games played .
its a shame nourry wont have a second fans forum this season and actually answer the questions and there would be plenty asked thats for sure .
and u feel sorry for a fan who wants to go to as many games as hes able to ok u prob feel sorry for clive myself and others who get up at stupid oclock to watchg 11 half arsed players trapse about esp in recent weeks but maybe the modern fotobal fan just dosnt get that part of being a fan . | |

Modern football is bollocks and I've no interest in the Premier League or, for that matter, anything beyond W12 and even then that's on the wane.
Whether you regard it as the 2nd tier or not is irrelevant. In the English Football pyramid the team who wins the trophy we win in 2011 is the team who has won the 2nd division whatever fancy name it has now.
Its a well supported division and, as we're finding out through players like Madsen and Celar, a harder league than some top flight in Europe, but we won the 2nd tier.
Agree that the Premier League- and the 'Champions League' are closed shops but again that's irrelevant to the discussion which is based around the ludicrous claim made that pointing out that we won the 2nd tier in 2011 is disdainful. [Post edited 8 Apr 16:27]

It's 2025, any company in the World will have a advisor on hand during interviews.
Marti might just not like fan engagements...
If Incenzo hasn't missed a home game since 1974 that's not something to applaud in my opinion. [Post edited 8 Apr 16:28]

thinks its commonly regarded as a tough league to get out of , prob better than most of european leagues and has way more to it than the average premiership game ,
sounkds like from ur days of travelling on the lsa coaches that ur not a regular these days whys that ? think most of us agree esp in recent seasons the football is not the main part of the day , its meeting with old friends maybe having a beer ( i dont drink ) basically a social event for many , thiose me included enjoy followin the team around the country week in week out , to be honest but maybe im a sad geek , its more enjoyable than id say knocking a gold ball round for 4/5 hours in all weathers but maybe im weird.
u never did reply as to weather nourry shoud be relieed of his duties after by your own admissions a pretty poor first full season with recruitment and his genearl demeanor to the fans and management | |

sounkds like from ur days of travelling on the lsa coaches that ur not a regular these days whys that ? think most of us agree esp in recent seasons the football is not the main part of the day , its meeting with old friends maybe having a beer ( i dont drink ) basically a social event for many , thiose me included enjoy followin the team around the country week in week out , to be honest but maybe im a sad geek , its more enjoyable than id say knocking a gold ball round for 4/5 hours in all weathers but maybe im weird.
u never did reply as to weather nourry shoud be relieed of his duties after by your own admissions a pretty poor first full season with recruitment and his genearl demeanor to the fans and management |
We need Nourry to learn from the lessons he's cruelly learnt this season or walk. Neither will happen and he's talking tonthe right ears to ensure his version of the truth is heard where it matters.
Great days in the 90s with the LSA from days out to shitholes, the coach up to Hibs although I was sat close to Elicott 😬, and laughs like the trip to Bury. Loved the banter and the sense of belonging.
It's not like that anymore. Youngsters coming through need organised displays and would be offended by the jokes we had on the coaches.
Did 3 seasons without missing more than 3 games in each but struggle to care nowadays. Social thing when I can be arsed.
It's a different club to the one we supported and I don't like the way it feels now or most of the new fanbase. | | | |
