Protesting together 07:15 - Aug 24 with 10910 views | dmm | There have been calls for coordinated action, such as protesting at the training ground and/or invading the pitch. They're valid ideas. Here are a few others. *Everyone should email the club: supporterservices@qpr.co.uk I think email would be better than social media in this case. *A coordinated action at a home game, eg at a prearranged moment fans show red cards and banners with a statement such as 'Nourry Out'. *Boycott a home game. It could be for the first 10 minutes, a half or the whole game. A press release to explain why fans are doing this would be needed. The last two need some organisation and getting key people on board to communicate to fans, but they're doable. The club is its fans. So, the club's employees must hear our voice and act accordingly. |  | | |  |

Protesting together on 12:12 - Aug 24 by Hunterhoop | Dear Lord. Once again, NO ONE disagrees with the idea of buying players low and selling them high to increase our income and competitiveness season on season. It is common sense. It is what most non-parachute payment clubs try to do. It is was what we trained to do under Les. We’re all in on data to do this now, that’s the difference But regardless, fine. The issue is HOW you implement and execute such an approach. It doesn’t matter who you sign if the squad is unfit, if standards are non-existent, if there is no culture of accountability, if the game model doesn’t work, if there is no self respect, and respect for the coach. The players we sign won’t deliver that huge increase in income when we sell them. And if we’re relegated in the meantime, they certainly won’t. It’s not enough to simply have a plan to buy potential and sell it on in two years for more money. There is a whole host of other things that require managing and leadership to enable that “selling high” as well as on field progression, which supports that sell high. The way Nourry is trying to manage things through the infrastructure he has put in is not working. It’s all that stuff that Nourry is miles out of his depth on and is simply not being happening at the club. |
Excellent stuff. The devil is in the detail and how you execute is paramount. There's little point "buying low to sell high" if you're recruiting players based on what you think PL clubs will want in future rather than address the weaknesses of the team. The team has to be competitive in order for PL clubs to come sniffing. |  | |  |

Protesting together on 09:08 - Aug 24 by Dorse | Coordinated mooning at the director's box. Do it right and it could be like a Mexican wave. The entire ground sat in deathly silence for the entire game, staring intently at Nourry, not even breaking eye contact to swig from smuggled-in bottles of Vimto. Every now and then, someone belches 'Bollocks'. Get that div who plays trumpet in the England band ('banned') to play Pigbag in a tragic minor key throughout the game, whilst we hold up pictures of George Kulcsar, Gus Caesar and Tamas Priskin. Stink bombs. Thousands of them. |
The main issue I can see with all those suggestions is that Pigbag is already in a minor key 😉 |  | |  |

I think Dorse would monster PR and Marketing tbh. Edit: Obviously with DP on the Artwork. [Post edited 26 Aug 15:10]

Fine. Major key on bagpipes. |  |

Protesting together on 12:44 - Aug 26 by Benny_the_Ball | I don't disagree with the sentiment but that's not the point I made. Here's what I wrote: "Would you want to stay in a job where you're slowly being stripped of responsibility but still expected to produce regardless?" In other words, after 2 seasons pulling miracles it was unreasonable of the board to expect Marti to accept the structural changes and continue to produce results regardless. |
You said he was off regardless, but said he was being stripped of responsibility. I meant that if the owners backed him instead of Nourry, ( which would have given MC his responsibility back), he would have stayed. That was what MC was insinuating at when he was talking about alignment in how the club wanted to proceed. |  | |  |

Goodness me, can you not read? I said that he was expected to produce regardless of being stripped of responsibility, not that he was off regardless. Naturally, he would've stayed had he not been stripped of responsibility. Totally agree with you there. So we're actually in alignment despite you misunderstanding what I originally said. |  | |  |
