Very curt farewell, comparatively. No quote from Nourry - five years service, helped coach the Dev Squad to a cup last season - some of those players have been with Hyde through the age groups. Nothing in tribute from the guy who likes to sign his name on every coming and going.
Nathan Shepperd, meanwhile, third choice keeper, doesn't make an appearance, signed for six months but is provided with space to thank the club and gets a glowing sentence for each month at the club from Nourry in that same farewell.
Thereby hangs a tale, I bet. |  | | |

I got the impression he was a good coach and well liked. Best wishes for your future career. |  |

It does look like a very difficult job for him to turn down tbf. |  | | |

Absolutely, Cate.
He played for Watford for years, and Furlong was ahead of him at Rangers.
The very best of luck to him. | |

Yes, Furlong is ahead of him. Perhaps Furlong too has earned another step up the ladder. Perhaps he wants that, perhaps he doesn't - most people in any competitive industry, especially sportsmen, want to test themselves at a higher level, though. Does he coach the U23s for ten more years, then retire? Unlikely.
Do we think Furlong has earned a promotion? I think so. Do we think Micah Hyde has earned a promotion, that he could handle more responsibility? I don't know enough about his work. But Watford think so and they have provided that career path that QPR chose not to.
Furlong: what's his future career path? Seemingly, QPR have decided it's not as head coach. QPR have also decided it's not Head of Methodology, as they gave that to Jon De Souza. Again, I don't know enough about De Souza to suggest that isn't the right call - other than Furlong's coaching CV is not less accomplished. The only difference being really that De Souza changed clubs often to climb the ladder - something Furlong may also conclude is best if he's hit a ceiling at Rangers.
For it's all very well painting yourself as a 'development club'. But sometimes that means taking a big risk and developing someone to their full potential. | | | |

I think Furlong has done enough to be part of the first team coaching staff. | | | |

A lot to be said for having a face familiar to and loved by the fans next to a new manager, especially in the uniquely odd situation our as yet unknown manager will be stepping into. Won’t buy him loads of credit or time but will buy a bit. | | | |

For all the obvious reasons, Furlong would be an excellent addition to Julien Stephan's coaching team and I'd like to see that happen. Whether Furlong would accept the position is another matter. The DS is progressing very nicely at the moment and he may well want to continue to head it up for the foreseeable future. |  | | |

Depends on what ambitions he has, but Furs may feel he doesn't need the hassle. |  |

Just a minute... |
A lot of talk about Furs, ambition and being given a role with the first team.
The whole DS and academy set-up has stepped up a significant level and will already be giving Furs considerable opportunities within that new set-up along with new blood, new targets and a lot of kudos for taking things forward. I don’t see that as him having little ambition. I see that as Furs taking a step up and seeing how much he can contribute to the clubs youth development as well as providing a critical cash injection by moving players to the first team if they are up for it.
He may also value the job security of not being involved with the first team at present. | | | |
