I honestly don’t know what people expect. 8 goals and 7 assists in our worst team ever playing most of the season under a mediocre manager. He also had the small matter of an ACL injury he came back from way ahead of schedule, he’s also just turned 22. He’s been piss poor recently but who hasn’t (probably Ramadan related)? You could put Yamal, Musiala or Olise in this side and they would look like a shadow of themselves. If you’re doubled up on and you only have Daka or Ayew to find you’re automatically hamstrung. He’ll move to a prem side (Bournemouth probably), flourish and his detractors will forget they ever slagged him off.

He’s playing in a dogshit side without a good striker, our only other good player has been out for a while and his form has dipped, unsurprisingly. If we had a bog standard winger instead we’d be adrift.

It’s popping up more frequently, better Greene King pubs have it usually

Leagues ahead of Estrella Damm. Galicia is #1

I was crap today. Worked out one theme and then still tapped an incorrect tile

What do reckoned he’s earned here £10,000,000? £20,000,000?

My stream was terrible so every time the ball went near him, it just cut to the next frame with Ipswich comfortably in possession. Useless

Apparently they were concerned about FFP at this point

The managerial recruitment is abysmal and it always has been. Rodgers was the only appointment with any vision behind it, given we've appointed c. 10 under KP it's a rubbish track recur that spans Vichai and Top's tenure. Skipp took a while to get picked but he said this when signing: “The staff here know me as well. Steve I have worked with at England so there’s definitely a good relationship there and I’m keen to push on and show what I can do." Seems too coincidental for our second biggest signing of the summer not to have been a Cooper one. He took loads of his U17s around with him Players Cooper later signed after managing them with England U17s Player Club signed by Cooper Type Notes Rhian Brewster Swansea City A.F.C. Loan (2020) Golden Boot at the 2017 U-17 World Cup; Cooper brought him in from Liverpool. Marc Guehi Swansea Loan (2020) Chelsea CB who became key in Swansea’s playoff run. Conor Gallagher Swansea Loan (2020–21) Another Chelsea midfielder Cooper trusted from youth internationals. Morgan Gibbs-White Swansea (loan 2020–21) & Nottingham Forest F.C.

We've established that Reid, Ayew and Skipp have all the hallmarks of Cooper signings, do you fancy him or something? He kept Forest in the PL once on 38 points, then in his second season they were abysmal - they weren't in the bottom 3 but would have been in a matter of games. "Forest, who are 17th in the Premier League, have won once in their past 13 top-flight games, taking eight points in that period".

I think Cooper had won like 1 in 15 of his last Forest games. Add the 2 in 12 with us to get 3 in 27 PL games. He's just a poor manager at this level and he only got the gig because our myopic managerial recruitment is so bad. Matches W D L Goals Points PPM 67 14 20 33 70:121 62 0.93

Oh I don't think it will happen. I think Top is stupid enough to take us into administration, there's a chance he doesn't even know it can happen or what the mechanism is . I don't think he can model anything that's even slightly abstract in his head. It's why he doesn't understand FFP/PSR

It took two of the worst PL sides ever going down to 10 for us to take 4 points off them. With a 2-4-6 record that's 10 point from 12 games, 0.83 ppg. So 31.5 points over the course of the season, we didn't play Liverpool or Man City either but did play the bottom two. If Cooper would have stayed it would have probably been exactly the same points total, possibly worse as we'd be unlikely to have the 4 points from the new manager bounce.

As an asset the club is dwindling in value by the day, you'd think someone in the family at home would be having a word. Perhaps this change behind the scenes is prepping for a sale (not that any buyer would be impressed)

@Ric Flair in 10 years?

This was a bigger issue than "You just dont like him cos Forest", we never had a problem with Morgan and O'Neil is arguably our best ever manager. The problem was he's a shit PL manager with an abysmal win rate, that was apparent before we appointed him. His recruitment input is rubbish too, as we've found out.

We obviously were going to be in the relegation under cooper though. Winning very luckily at Southampton, one of the worst PL sides ever, they went down to 10 and we had a penalty (they should have had one too but it wasn't given) gave us 3 points we didn't deserve. Ipswich went down to 10 for us to draw late on there too. 1 point from 15 in his final 5 games, he wasn't going to turn that around because he was an abysmal manager, we should never have appointed him. The RVN appointment was disastrous but the Cooper one ****ed us more.

Rudkin is a worse villain than Wise and by keeping him there Top has total disdain for the fans

Should have asked you directly, didn’t even cross my mind. I’ll look into Sozopol, thanks

Eventually the more games = more money idea will die off. Too much of a good thing. The 7th and 8th placed teams will almost never go up either
