Has anyone listened fully to the interview on West London sport?
I listen to about 25 minutes and got bored so if anyone else could summarise it that would be ace. Thanks |  |

The thing I can never accept with a Head Coach model is when it all goes to sh*t results wise it's the Coach that gets fired and blamed for everything, whilst the people responsible for signings and the "structure" keep their gravy train jobs time and again. Then the next Coach gets fired because it's all his fault and rinse/repeat... |
Dunno about that. Both the coach and the DOF/CEO get given time to succeed - but it's not finite for either. The coach gets less time because the work is concentrated into weeks and easily measured, the DOF necessarily needs far longer and a few missteps can be allowed as it's all encompassing.
Let's take Warburton as an ideal appointment: he got three years, which feels optimum for a coach to be judged by. Les and Ramsey took over an absolute clusterfck in 2014 which required a difficult top to bottom refurb (and which I don't think CN properly acknowledged in comparing his processes with Ramsey's). But, in the end, after eight years, and despite some definite successes, they were both shown the door just as all the head coaches were.
If Nourry has a couple of disappointing seasons, if his current appointment disappoints (while Cifuentes excels) and the next fares no better, if the clown memes with his face start popping up, etc...he'll be gone too. He can then return to his career as a "Guardian journalist"... | | | |

Yes. Lets see where we are in November, because it could get messy, lots of people that are waiting to see I told you so, either about Nourry doing a good or bad job depending on where your views lie.
Personally I dont think he is doing neither a good or a bad job. He is doing some good and some bad.
But now Ive seen they are releasing squad numbers 4 at a time to farm online engagements. Things like that are just so unnecessary. But its this new strategy of keeping Gen Z on the hook, gagging for more transfer news, the next post about squad numbers etc. | | | |
| Nourry interview on 09:49 - Jul 26 with 1280 views | TK1 |
Yes, this one bit of easily checked and totally unnecessary bullsht from him is...not good, is it? One very short collated news item from the French press when he was 17/18 does not make him a Guardian freelancer.
Why bullsht like that, on mic? Why weren't the people who appointed him suspicious of his CV?
I quite like what's happening at the club, I quite a lot of what he says he's doing. But dropping a casual self-aggrandising lie like that is worrying. Football people must smell him a mile off. [Post edited 26 Jul 9:49]

Disappointing interview. Nourry rarely gives interviews so for the interviewer to cut it short by saying he's got a train to catch, when Nourry said he was happy to carry on and debate, is just ridiculous. Never heard a journalist do that before.
And asking Nourry what's gone well is just an invitation for him to give a puff PR answer. Can't help feeling Clive would have asked more pertinent questions and pinned him down | | | |

No surprise that this thread demonstrates classically the phenomenon of confirmation bias. With that in mind I remain wary but very mildly positive.
I think this season will have some (very?) tough moments but our targets are not really this season apart from staying up. |  | | |

As with the last thread about him speaking, everytime he speaks he simply confirms why we is so unsuitable to be in a C-Suite position.
1. He is simply not an effective communicator - surprising given his background - which is one of the key requirements for an effective C-Suite member
2. He is absolutely terrible under pressure, as seen by his stumbling when given even a light pressing by Dave Mc. If Dave didn’t have to go easy on him to retain access, Nourry would’ve collapsed entirely. One of the main differentiators of effective C-Suiters is their ability to remain calm (and bullsh1t relentless) under pressure.
3. He’s painfully insecure which is devastating in that position. As anyone who has worked for a large company knows first hand, those at the very top have an arrogance verging on sociopathy.
It’s no wonder he failed as an HR consultant honestly with his personality.
He’s obviously a decently smart guy with an impeccable educational background, but he’s someone whose impact would be better felt in a dusty office with an excel spreadsheet rather than parachuted into a C-Suite role via his dads connections. | | | |

I personally didn't pick up on any of that dynamic you've set out from listening to that interview.
I thought he came across as very measured, strategic and thoughtful, and - interestingly given what's been posted elsewhere on this forum - very aware of treating people like human beings rather than mere units of production/income generators.
He's gone out of his way not to set unrealistic targets on Julien Stephan in terms of demanding instant success, which is also a mssive plus. I would suggest.
He certainly doesn't sound like any 27 year old I've ever met before! 😂 | | | |

As I say confirmation bias. You have an extremely negative opinion of him and consistently seek to find things that support it. I think there isn't enough evidence to support your view yet. I may move to your position but I can't see you shifting whatever happens. | | | |

Very harsh
He must have impressed our board massively with his ideas, his strategy, his reasonings and his plans and how to achieve them.
And that as a club is what we all want, and obviously himself also.
It's the club that have been impressed by him to put himself in almost universal control of the club.
And I really do think people such as Reuben and Hoos would do well to explain why they have given Christian such power. It would be massively useful if they could. One, because it's their decisions that have given the opportunities to Nourry and at his age also.
We should be asking themselves a lot of these questions, but they are acting like cowards without backing up their choice at all. That's not great for me at all.
I think the side of the job he can't do that well for me is the public facing role to the fans and tbf if a lot of ideas work, who cares about this.
As said before, feel he needs a media man for this kind of thing.
He's done OK so far, but if Stephan fails and Cifuentes works elsewhere, his time will be limited.
He is definitely one for the boo boys on here though !!!
Give the guy some credit. See where we are at the end of this season ahead, before we turn all fire on him.
This board is drearily negative at times. [Post edited 26 Jul 12:21]

Nourry did come to us with a reputation for being able to deliver a winning presentation.
But Mick Beale is also renowned for his delivery of an irresistible PowerPoint.
Where I think they both struggle is when they are put on the spot.
Beale seemed at times to blurt out the first thing that came into his head, without thinking through the implications. The way he handled the links to the Wolves job being the obvious example, but there were others (remember London, Mick!?).
Nourry seems to be the other extreme when he's under pressure. He seems terrified of saying the wrong thing or exposing his lack of knowledge / experience and seems to be searching for very precise responses to cover his back.
So one's an incontinent BS merchant and the other's a constipated sophist. | | | |

Really, have you never seen The Apprentice? There are loads.
For those hoping he’d acknowledge the errors, he’s clearly a narcissist, every time he speaks publicly we see further evidence, and narcs don’t admit failure.
He’s also not setting Stephan unrealistic targets because he’s his man, he got rid of Marti and his eggs are in this basket, so he needs him to do well. | | | |

Think I thought I knew a lot when I was 27 as well.
Guy gives the impression that everything we are doing is revolutionary.
We are marginally better run, but that only seems to be because the owners are far more hands off.

Just listened and overall really good. Club heading in the right direction now, and Nourry came across well I thought.
He's not really reinventing the wheel, just picking the best bits from what other successful clubs are doing. Fair enough.
Don't get some of the vitriol on here aimed at him. If you don't want a manager like Hughes or Redknapp getting their way or owners hiring Mclaren or Ainsworth to scratch an itch then this is how it is done.
It will be a tough season, but overall we do appear to be much better run. | |

Every day's a school day. Thanks for teaching me C-Suiter. Until today I was blissfully unaware of this impressive example of corporate wánk-speak. |  |

That reaction tells me a lot about you too. Nothing intelligent to say - just monosyllabic abuse.
Have a nice evening too, you sad sack! | |
