Conspiracy? My god that's ridiculous.
Nourry handles transfers and employs WIlliams to handle fitness, injuries and availability. This has been a disaster for multiple years for both us and the Brooklyn Nets leaving Stephan short of many players I'm sure he'd rather pick.
Nourry has elected to not sign a senior left back to replace Paal which has left Stephan no choice but to play an inexperienced Brazilian teenager and a centre back there.
Nourry has elected to provide only Adamson as an alternative to Dunne at right back which has left Stephan little choice but to play a teenage central midfielder there until today.
Nourry has elected to not sign a single central midfielder leaving Stephan no choice but to shuffle between Field, Varane, Madsen and Morgan. Though one of those was needed as desperation cover in defence.
Nourry elected to sign Nicolas Madsen and now we're all feeling the pain of carrying him with the other 10 players every time he's on the pitch.
Nourry elected to spend 3-4 million quid on the killer combination of Madsen and Celar last year, hampering our ability to sign and field the full backs and central midfield we're so clearly crying out for.
Nourry elected to sign Nardi last year who - irrespective of split fan opinion - has already fallen out of favour dramatically so represent more transfer fees and wages pissed up the wall.
Nourry has elected to sign 5 players so far this summer, none of which improve a central midfield that has bled since Stefan Johansen's legs fell off.
Nourry has elected to continually sign players for the development squad from all over the world whilst the current first team squad is amongst the worst in terms of quality and depth in our history.
Walsh has been mysteriously and immediately promoted the SECOND Marti was forced out and has stayed there since.
Whether he's writing the names on the team sheet or not... He's very much in control of AND accountable for which players are out there trotting about in QPR shirts. And there's plenty of evidence that he's completely fu<ked it up. [Post edited 23 Aug 20:30]

Great post. Nourry and his cronies have zero accountability because our clueless absentee owners have zero ambition for the club. It’s how we’ve ended up with a 26 year old know-nothing, nobody running every aspect of our football club. What other club would appoint Nourry as CEO and DOF? It’s an insane appointment. The man-child will relegate us. |  |

My sympathies for him are well below the 2,000 who went to that circus today, but it‘s still there.
Been fed an absolute hospital pass by the club and he who shall not be named.
No way he‘s picking Walsh on his own volition. |  | | |

Championship is tough, and he has looked out of his depth. Sacked from his lasts Jobs aftet short spells, and will probably not last long here either. It was a tough decision to sack the Spaniard, if it wasnt for Nouri, Martinwould still be here. |  | | |

Ted, I was only watching Golden Gordon last night and today reminded me so much of Barstoneworth. Nearly the same score too! |  | | |

Yea cling on to the humour side of things Mate, tomorrow will be another day, nobody was expecting that result or performance today.
Sadly though our club Is In a worse state than I thought It was, before kick off today I was thinking Coventry scored Five goals last week but they also let In three so we should get at them straight away, (LOL) | |

Nourry is not sitting in his office doing it all on his own of the back of football manager. He has a team of people who they employ to identify.
The window has not closed they planned to give Larkeche a run after positive reports after the Scottish loan. He did his ACL they about to sign the Sheff Utd lad on loan.
They signed Madsen they also signed Varane they signed Celar they also signed Morrison what is your point Neil Warnock signed Joey Barton and Shaun Wright Phillips for FFS all managers and all clubs make good and bad signings. When you are shopping at Temu rather than Selfridges you are going to get some bargains and some tat.
And jeeze if you think this is the worst squad in our history I dont know what you've been watching over the last 20 years, let alone the Ainsowrth period
We've just been on the end of a right hiding but the hysteria is so out of proportion to actual reality |  | | |

Ted, you and I have been on this board for a long time. Over 25 years for me. I remember your son, Charlie, on here, road dog (gave me a load of classic rock compilations), obviously Rob and Simon (even wrote for them for a bit on QPR.net), and more. I’ve been around the block and am not posting on nonsense for the sake of it.
Everything I posted (bar Steve Bould’s reporting line which I’m not sure on) is public knowledge. The job advert for the set piece coach was publicly available (Clive has linked to it). Nourry has confirmed publicly over the past 20 odd months those reporting lines. Some of the individuals themselves have confirmed it too.
This is our approach, determined and implemented by Nourry.
The “game model” was his much vaunted idea to have one formation and style of play across all age groups up to the first team to aid progression. He decided what it was to be, not Cifuentes. It involves playing out from the back. Last season, at the start of the season, it had its first outing. We won 2 in 17. Nourry wanted to sack Cifuentes but Ruben stepped in and prevented him. Cifuentes was given the ability to flex from the game model a bit. We went more pragmatic and ran up the league. Towards the end of the season we reverted to the game model and struggled. I don’t know whose choice that was, but given what had gone before and what went on at the end of the season, I can hazard a guess.
Either way, Nourry set the game model and the game model includes the formation and style of play. This season, we are back to the game model and playing out.
Stephan in one of his first interviews actually said “the club have hired me to have the team play a set way.” He is eyes wide open but he is following orders.
I know about the Walsh decision because a friend was told by a family friend of Walsh and this was before any pre season matches. Did Stephan really arrive and within a week decide to ditch last season’s first team keeper? I doubt it.
I have no doubt in the next week they’ll be a strong narrative pushed that the issue is how Stephan is setting up the team, that it is his call, etc, but it is baloney. He has nothing to do with signings and our signings (our army of wingers and 10s) are to play the game model.
Stephan has nothing to do with the fitness of the players. Little more than you or I. That is Ben Williams, who was recommended to the club by Nourry when he was at Retexo and before he became CEO. Williams reports to Nourry in his new, larger, broad remit of “Sporting Operations”.
It has all been made public before.
I know following Rangers this last decade has been trying at best and absolutely sh*te at worst. I know for the more experienced fan it has been easy to zone out, not pay too much close attention, and let it wash over you.
But everything I posted has been public knowledge if you look and listen closely enough.
Nourry and Williams (and Hoos) are the problem. Stephan might be a bad coach or a good coach; we don’t know yet and we may never find out.
Most of knew we had a very good manager in Cifuentes. The decision to axe him was Nourry’s and Nourry’s alone (they couldn’t stand each other). He has to own what comes next. Nobody else.
Ruben needs to act, and act quickly. |

Exactly.
Game model, which means the formation and approach, is set by Nourry. Nourry was the one who spent ages at the fans forum talking formations…not Stephan.
Fitness (hahaha?!), is owned by Williams, who reports to Nourry, not Stephan.
Set Piece Coach reports to Nourry, not Stephan.
Head of Methodology (De Souza) reports to Nourry, not Stephan. Seems to be responsible for implementing the game model across the club.
Head of Player Development (Betsy) reports to Nourry, not Stephan. He’s responsible for the one on one training of our players, and their personal development.
Defensive Coach (Bould) does not report to Stephan, I believe. I think it is De Souza. (Not 100% sure on that one)
Nourry made the call on Walsh over Nardi. It was told to Stephan. It was made before pre-season, so Stephan can’t have made it anyway.
Head of Recruitment (inc Data) (Belk) reports to Nourry, not Stephan. Nourry makes the signings and has final say on them. You think Stephan knows League One inside out, or that Cifuentes wanted Madsen and Celar?!
Just consider all this.
There is only one man sailing this ship, and it is Christian Nourry, the child king, with his 10 years’ experience in football and well know experience in the Championship.
Ruben needs to act. [Post edited 23 Aug 19:20]

Totally this.
Nourry needs to go NOW.
The structure needs completely destroying.
Ever heard the phrase too many cooks spoil the broth.
Why would you want your under 8s , under 9s, under 10s, your women's teams, the development squad all learning a way of playing that they can all then progress through to the first team.
Err.
Have you ever thought if this system isn't working at any levels then we are completely f'd and also arent you then enabling all teams at all levels that play us, will know forevermore exactly the way we play. There is no plan b.
Has any of our overpaid hierarchy ever considered that playing the same system at all levels enables the opposition to combat this and find ways to win as the system and way of playing never changes.
Whoever came up with this genius way of operating a football club, it's beyond laughable.
It's the definition of insanity... |  |

I don't hate the theory of it to be honest, but you have to be practical too. You embed key elements of it, say the way Barcelona did with a possession based style of play emphasizing passing technique movement and control,but then give the flexibility to be able to pivot (by age group, by squad personnel, by opposition, whatever) as needed.
The one thing that's clear is that whatever it is we are doing clearly isn't working. If there's not enough flexibility in "the project" to keep your core principles but also flex to what's needed, then you've set it up wrong. |  | | |

The issue is nourry should never have been considered for the job in the first place, not even got to an interview , he has. At best a one page cv and that’s it he added the paper round d he prob got his mum to do for him . He should never have been given the job it’s the simple , who was behind him getting the job ? Lee hoos who wanted out of the day to day stuff ages ago , where did the 200k fee end up for nourry taking over ? Why does everyone report to him and not the coach ?
Nourry is like a French version of of Scott jones but without the red sofa or the sleeping in wheelie bins .
Appointment so body who can’t do a job and they usually employ people to surround them who. Are also poorly qualified to do there own jobs , nobody will question there inability because the. Their own inability will show themselves up .
The only way things will be diff against Charlton is if we get the game called off before hand .
Losing to Charlton will be bad enough , watching that Welsh tw@t nathan jones dance up the sideline could result in me receiving a lifetime ban from all football matches for life |  |

I think we should appoint a manager of football chants and perhaps we could get Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole in to train up our chief chanters but unfortunately all will have as their line manager a man called Chrsitian.
Apart from that, this sounds like the missing piece of the puzzle !!!
We could have an open training session of our choristers too and post it on all social media platforms too.
That'll get em....
I am applying as I want to be accountable to Cheryl..... [Post edited 24 Aug 2:16]
