The replies on Twitter to the club post are interesting - lots on accounts on there calling Marti a snake and backing Nourry. Seems whoever leaked the West Brom link has turned a few against the manager.

Bit early to scapegoat Noury. None of us actually know what has happened but earlier in the week it seemed that MC was being touted around by his agent.
So is this like when Leicester were sniffing after Holloway?
Wouldnt think Noury daft enough to take this action without good reason when season tkts are up for renewal.
Finally some are quoting Marti as a great manager, so far he's been pretty good.
Stock, Sexton and Venables were great.

So does this mean he has accepted a job elsewhere and we have put him on gardening leave?

Or we have sacked him and put him on gardening leave whilst we do what? Work out comp? Hope he gets an offer elsewhere so they pay us some limited comp?

Feels like Nourry is trying to sack him without paying him off. That’ll attract other managers to work for him.


Why would he sack him if there are other clubs interested in him who would have to pay a release fee? I guess they're just negotiating how much west Brom have to pay to buy out his contract.

I was placed on garden leave some time ago. Some may think it sounds a doddle…BUT you have to be at home and be ready to come in at the drop of a hat.
After a couple of weeks, I resigned.
As for Marti, very sad of course. How can Gallen say he's been no more than decent ? Keeping us up was little short of a miracle.

Depressing, isn't it. It sounds like from WLS both parties are to blame, but I really don't in any way see him as a snake. I have a horrible feeling we shall see just how good Marti was next season, mainly by us crashing and burning.

Technically, still employed by us so we will still request compensation.


But why would anyone agree that. They have us over a barrel. They know we want rid, need rid, and so out bargaining position is terrible. Carry on and make out all is well and clubs realise it will cost them.

We’re now paying him - not to manage us - and are less likely to get any comp. If we then try to sack him without paying him up (for some sort of gross misconduct issue) any half decent manager will run a mile from working here. So, we now have to pay him off.

We’ve turned a position of likely receiving comp into likely paying him off or being extremely unattractive to potential head coach candidates.

Strategic.

Thanks Marti, you worked a miracle last season and to a large extent this season especially if you look at our early form
It’s a shame we will never see how expansive his team could of been as we were always playing catch up and being tight at the back
For those saying Nourry out etc you should be directing your venom at this incompetent board
I’m sick to the back teeth of them , the club is a shambles and it’s only a matter of time before we get relegated they can’t get nothing right
Imagine them with the Eze money !!!
Scary stuff

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Yeah but surely you let him stay in charge for the last game ? Let him clear his desk. For goodness sake.

WLS saying he's been sacked then? Something about the wording makes it seem they don't agree with the gardening leave line

Why sack him and lose any compensation.

Well, good thing that this did not happen in the middle of the season. Now we have time at least a few weeks to find a new man for the job

At the bank where I worked ( all the same) if you resigned and were going to the competition you were automatically put on garden leave, got 3 months in 2008 did loads of gardening and painting etc etc. Bad day for the club didn’t actually think it would happen especially as we are 15th

Loved KG as a player and there’s no doubting his QPR credentials, but he doesn’t half talk a lot of shite.

WBA are also skint. If they want him, have spoken to him and he wants to leave - what’s his easiest exit route? I think Dave Mc’s theory that these stories have served to expedite his exit is the most logical one at this point. I know Nourry is the devil according to 90% of posters (include
myself in that) but he can’t be that dumb (surely).

When would be the time to start scapegoating him?

An inexperienced control freak who appears to have set a trap for MC to fall into. While he forces out one of the better managers we've had in the last decade, his mate is literally allowed to phone in his job from Dubai.

Just absolutely fecking mental. This club is a shambles and being run by a moronic bunch who are so far removed from the fan-base it’s hard to put into words.
I really can’t wait to hear how they are going to describe this utter shitshow or will they try and ride the summer out?
Thanks to Marti we have avoided relegation the past two seasons but you just know L1 is incoming with this clueless mob in charge.

What's the best contact email address at the club to express our disdain at the way Nourry is being allowed to run it?

In lieu of being at Sunderland.

I give up - I've got tickets for the Sunderland game on Saturday and don't know if I can be bothered. Or alternatively, I might make a big Nourry out banner.


I'm feeling exactly the same

I wonder if the players knew this was coming before Saturday’s showing? Might explain the “effort levels” if they knew he was no longer going to be their HC and none of them know their futures.

Days of speculation. Loads of worried fans. Finally, QPR make a decision to end the speculation. As per usual, its the wrong one.
