Definitely not a swipe, I’m saying it’s sad that it’s come to such a ridiculous point because of the (lack of) comms. I posted here many times last summer this approach was disrespectful and dumb.
For what it’s worth, I also don’t think the “ITK” posters who seem to conveniently have a direct route into the club during this time are helping either. Whole thing is depressing and unnecessary in my opinion. |

It’s quite depressing, and telling, of how little many think of the hierarchy (for good reasons). Interest in one of our best younger players having its legitimacy questioned / being linked to some nefarious PR game that apparently we all know about.
I hope summer can cool everyone’s jets. It’s getting a bit mad on here when every bit of news is greeted with “But can we believe this to be true?!”. Just a bit sad imo. |

For all the recruitment bashing many of us do on here, he’s clearly a huge tick. Getting offers of more than x5 your investment one year in is what we need a lot more of if we’re ever going to escape 12-20th in the second tier. |

Cinel left Salzburg yesterday. Either the two things are connected or punters are assuming they are connected. Either way, both Cifuentes and Beale were appointed from relative obscurity so this sort of appointment feels much more likely than the names bouncing around in last month. |

Get the point, and he and Marti clearly have a great relationship.
But this is pretty simple. One club can pay 50% more than the other (at least) and has a very realistic shot at promotion next season while the other cannot and does not.
It’s that simple. Money and (potential) success > love. Pessimistic but self evident in modern football |

Yeah I think this is right. If straight from Scandinavia we’re all relatively on board, but a bad season at Norwich with a much better squad sours taste.
Optimistic view is we’ve traded like for like. Hope it works (if it is indeed done), still a big risk given we’ve had the same profile who has succeeded two years in a row. |

Same here. Felt a bit of a pointed jab that some in the club think he wasn’t handling 3 game weeks well.
He also made a point to say that doesn’t mean it will be an English managerial merry go round manager (could be someone who has experience in a European conference league type compo).
None of these names fill me with any joy, at least Cleverley knows what a true basket case is so might see our structure as comparatively mature. |

Had a bad end. But Norwich scored the second most goals in the league last year? With admittedly much better forward players.
I don’t know, if we’re gonna finish 12-20th for eternity I wouldn’t mind being entertained. The Marti beer goggles obscured a lot of dross this season (myself included). We haven’t been a good watch since Mickey Beale was warming up the snake oil |

Neither.
On the other hand , I do have a problem with pathetic public falling outs and killing any chance that we get compensation. Basically means whoever takes this job will not currently be in a job at a good level, as we have low to no means for paying a fee.
There will be 100s of people wanting it. How many of those are any good / can the board pick them out? Not holding my breath. |

I think that’s a very normal conversation to have at a football club in 2025. There are no Ferguson’s anymore who have total authority. No real issue with the idea for me, like anything depends if they’re any good or not and *klaxon* do you trust this lot to appoint someone good?
Bigger issue is our club pleads poverty across the board - we cant do x, y, and z because FFP and the nasty lads in the prem, but we’ll hire Heads of Methodologies, Heads of Set Pieces, and the cast of Wicked no problem. |

You’ve spent a whole day telling us the club is finally stable, no one at the club really liked Marti, and our recruitment has been excellent since Nourry came in. And you now want to appeal to Orwellian tropes? You’d probably do well to read it.

Given him a lot of stick this season, as have many of us, and rightly so. But he’s ended the season well and looks like he might not be the lost cause we all thought he was. Fair play to him and hope to see a continuation of this next season. Well done Madsen |

This. Getting sacked as a manager is quite literally part of the job and you get very well compensated for it. If every manager out there didn’t take a job out of worry they might get sacked managers wouldn’t be coming to a league where the average tenure is 9 months.
Just like players: it’s QPR, of course they’ll be able to hire someone |

As much as we think it’s a mess and has been for years, it’s still a second tier club in London with a brand new training ground that is actually quite a nice place to work (the training facility I mean!). There will be plenty of people willing to deal with crap owners out of work. Whether they’re any good or not is a separate point, but we’re not gonna be wanting for applications [Post edited 1 May 10:30]
