Apologies if this has already been covered, but have you been granted an audience Clive, or is that now off limits under the new regime?

Refused mate, unfortunately. First time in a decade. Have stated our case a few times but it's a no go.

The reason we were given they want to stress it's a collaborative effort, not the manager as the be all and end all. Which after Mick Beale you can perfectly understand. The cynic/journalist in me though immediately thinks 'what are you afraid he's going to say?'.

Thinking laterally, if “it’s a collaborative effort” is the genuine reason for refusing the interview then ask to interview everyone. Either individually or in groups or all at the same time.

That’s a shame. Wonder whether that’s his choice or a club decision. Either way it’s denied the fans a chance to get to know him a little better.

It's consistent with the move to control information. Too unpredictable allowing the manager to sit down with a knowledgeable independent (ie not manipulable) journalist.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

If that is the reason, how come we don't hear from any other member of staff pre and post match?

Interviews can be edited and the club can approve before publication so perhaps there is more going on here.

Norf, have you tried to get one on one sit down with Nourry? I suppose that is not allowed too, how dare I ask?

Poll: Isaac Hayden - Yes or No?

I would never take an interview on where I didn't have control over the copy and the club could edit or approve it. They've never asked for that TBF.

So the only time we get to hear MC outside of the approved club interviews is with WLS, and those questions are not exactly taxing.

Anyone else think Nourry is a little bit of a control freak?

I think he has seen this as an area that previously seems to have been problematic and so decided to close it down for now.

Things may get loosened after the transfer window closed and hopefully we are getting towards the position that he feels we should be in the league. Seems odd though to not be engaging as much as they could with the fanbase given how much that fed into last seasons great escape episode.

Any prospect of an interview with Nourry? Ever since his first interview we have not heard from him much bar that copy posted last week. I think that would arguably be more interesting than an interview with MC on wider club matters.

I think Northern has said previously there is still a Fans Forum scheduled for September? Be interesting to see what happens there, bit harder to control the narrative on that one, I can't imagine all the attendees will be pre-vetted! Unless it ends up being pre-submitted questions only rather than open mic.

So if it goes tits up will they all be sacked as a collaborative effort or just the manager

I've always loved the interviews but....I also quite like this new controlled approach.

No false promises a la Fernandes, Beale etc things just confirmed when they happen, no time wasted on rogue comments.

I think we look more professional as a result, which is another tickbox to be taking seriously.

Poll: Will we stay up?

It only looks more professional if the team does well, to me it looks like they are hiding something as there is no real reason for Marti or anyone at the club not to speak to supporters. As a manager he is professional enough to cope with this sort of interview and if they don't want Clive or another fan to do it just do a sit down with Marti in house before the season which they can control

Hearing what the manager's plans are ahead of the new season shouldn't be so difficult to access

Marti's interviews with the club usually contain leading questions with a positive spin.

Saturdays ''Is it pleasing though that despite falling two goals behind that was the point in which we started to create most of our chances and that the heads didn't drop from the players'' made me chuckle.

God forbid that Marti gets sacked in the near future, but if he did, giving Calm sole control might be tricky initially because during one of the live Sky games, the commentator said that Marti coaches the attacking players and Xavi the defensive ones.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

In 34 years in journalism, I've never worked anywhere that gives copy approval. Not at any magazine – including when I edited FourFourTwo – or any newspaper. People think it happens all the time, but it really doesn't.
