I’m wondering if they’ll join up the announcement with the pre match presser ??? Although we do have form for releasing stuff in the early evening. The players will presumably travel down tomorrow late morning to London. im hoping that he has been spending his time today at training with the players and preparing for West Ham (possibly Brentford). So not time to do the website/media interviews etc which is why the announcement is delayed.

If you give me a tenner then I’ll buy it off you for a fiver

We can cross Martin’s name off the list (former manager that Top speaks to) assume it’s Nigel

Les?

Scare tactics no way would these companies take a libel case against anyone in this country because it would expose them to a level of scrutiny that they wouldn’t be prepared to take on.

Jason Wilcox came in and took his role he’s still there - no idea if he’s interested in moving back into coaching

which one would rudders would hire ??.

Heard Martin was coming as his assistant ………..

I can’t see the truth about ultimate ownership coming to light that’s why you place these business’ in places like curucao. King power is not the owner of BC game btw. (But i reckon it’s the largest ‘investor’ in the past six months )

We can’t even find a dodgy betting co to feed KP cash into the club that’s not likely to fall over within six months! I mean ffs it’s like robbing a bank and having a thirty y o reliant robin as your getaway car. !

He’s not a bloody magician !

Interesting that he’s had to manage twice against us recently - and seen pretty much the whole squad playing. that means he’ll have done some work on our players strengths and weaknesses (and I promise you that he wasn’t unaware of our interest in him replacing cooper in the near future). i would hope that he will have a fair idea of who and how he wants to play on Saturday (if he’s announced today). If it’s tomorrow then unlikely he can take charge for Brentford and it will have to wait for West Ham.

We’re pretty shite in the boardroom but even we wouldn’t fall for that again, especially with someone like cooper. unless he accepted a low wage but the quid pro quo was that his deal would be paid off if he was sacked.

It seems that way, looking at the amount of compo we paid in 2023. If we terminated his contract we had to pay it up (as per a player).

Who says we’ve paid up cooper’s contract? apologies it I’ve missed something would be standard to pay the next twelve months unless cooper takes a new job. ( he would then do some negs with us to make an ex gracia payment to encourage him to take the new job) rodgers shafted us and we fell for it when we gave him his new deal

No doubt we’ll find out in good time but if this is the case then it’s a shambles and they don’t deserve to be custodians of our club - the senior management and the owners

Cos it isn’t true ?? why would the players be told that information?? Top may have told a player he considers a close confidante of that info and it could be out of date so the person concerned feels able to share it. if that is a Percy article then I reckon he’s been told something by someone and misunderstood part of it.

I’ve heard that RVN was all set to be appointed but he won euromillions last night and told JR to eff off this morning. He doesn’t need the agg.

Anyone thinking that potter might be interested because rudders would be leaving doesn’t understand the strength of our Jon at the club. it’s more likely that potter has accepted that rudders isn’t going anywhere and if he wants the job then he needs to accept that. however, I’d be surprised if potter is interested

Deciding between pep and klopp I can understand their issues

If we had a game on Saturday which was a guarantee loss then I’d not care but we’re chucking away the chance of a point at least but not having a proper coaching team in place. watching laurel and hardy against villa and Bournemouth two season ago was grim

If it’s true that top wanted RVN in the summer then it’s a no brainier that he’ll appoint him now

To have half a chance of getting results in this league you need one of the following 1)good tactics, 2) luck 3) all the players giving 100%+ cooper at forest had 2 and 3 cooper at leicester had occasional 2 and a little of 3 for the first month or so.

If there’s an appointment today or tomorrow (of someone not in work) then the delay since Sunday is merely a charade so the club can claim that they hadn’t sacked cooper because they’d found and agreed with his replacement.

I didn’t see our game at yanited the stats didn’t look great for them did he show decent game management ?
