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 2329 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. | |

Few people,have said he must interview well , it sounds like he was the only person we interviewed as he produced the shortlist. Of exactly one , he knew hoos wanted out so as long he turned upat the interview the job was likely to be his as is the ranger way we didn’t have a plan B , now he’s dropped he’s a journo has anyone made the conectio with our old friend Scott jones , yes he of the red sofa , he was also a journo he said . Both talked absolute bollox most of the time also .its nice to see a few more people seeing through the smoke and mirrors acr as well . And sorry to bring it up anyone reading hi Cv that was in any way connected to football or had prob ever seen an actual live game of football. Wouldn’t have given him a job not even with half a decade of experience in football . He’s doing nothing by different to anyone else apart from the huge fanfare to announce this wonderful player he’s just brought in who unless you are on football manager nobody havs ever heard of or in a few years ever have heard in again , my main concern is where we will be in a few years time ? Can’t wait for the forum Tuesday that’s for sure. Get the feeling he will putt a few good news stories out the firse to keep the pressure off .
Ps any idea why smyth and the Brazilian lad wasn’t playing today once again Smyth was seen heading to White City before the game kicked off the Brazilian lad seem s to have voiced his displeasure on sm during the week. At not being names ballon dor nominee for this season |  |

I listened to the lot, an hour I'll never get back. Says a lot of words, doesn't say a lot of substance. In amongst it, a few positives. I like the way we are building the coaching setup, I like the joined up thinking between dev and senior recruitment, I like the shift to a younger squad. I don't like his inability to hold his hands up and admit a mistake, I don't like his defensiveness of the contracts and sorry but I don't agree with his arguement on that. Couldn't answer any of the stuff we want to know due to legal reasons, which is fair enough.
Highlight funny moment - his panicked silence when asked what we were actually doing well! |
I listened to it travelling to Loftus Road for the friendly today and had very similar thoughts. I find it annoying that he employs the typical politician's tactic of using 500 words to answer a question when 50 would suffice. It consumes time and gives a false impression of having a good command of the subject at hand. |  | | |

Q. How does a 27 year old end up as a CEO and defacto DOF of a troubled championship club that faces a lot of challenges. What’s been the path to that role?
Amongst some other pretext.
“Some of the businesses I was working on developed, that more and more groups of, funds or, you know individuals, that might be interested in owning a football club, or running a football club, took an interest in the work I was doing, umm and I was able to support in problem solving for people buying teams, distinct federations, and that ultimately culminated in the Retexo journey which then took us to being engaged by one of the shareholders at QPR, to look at QPR.
Did a piece of work for the club and sort of submitted it, and didn’t think much of it. And then a few months later, got a call asking if I’d be interested in running the organization, which was very humbling, umm, and I think the real driving force in my decision to say let’s go for it, was if I look at the top 3 leagues of English football, I think you know probably Portsmouth as well, is probably in this category, but I looked at where teams were, and where they could be, because of the location, infrastructure and everything else, I felt there was an enormous opportunity to try to support this ownership group in there refactored vision for how they wanted their football club to look like. And I guess yeah that’s the story.” | | | |
