Can’t stand the smugness of Mcmanam. As much as I don’t want them to hope villa fluke a late draw or winner.

I agree with what you’re saying but it’s a very negative approach. Let’s hope 3 sides are worse than us and we can get less loses than them. If we’re shit it doesn’t matter as long as 3 other sides shitter than us.

No we don’t. Show some ambition and get rid. He’s a championship level manager at best. Better options out there. Villa got rid of Gerrard when they were 3 points above the drop zone and got Emery in. Don’t leave it too late. So by your logic if Ipswich or Southampton win at the weekend and we lose we should get rid because it will be down to 2 or 3 points off the drop?

Genuinely can’t stand this acceptance of well we’re not in the bottom 3 so we should be happy with Cooper. It’s more down to luck and there being some extremely poor sides in this division that we aren’t in the bottom 3. Fortunate has certainly been on our side with recent decisions and results. We’ve got points in spite of Cooper not because of him. The sooner he’s gone the better.

Julien Stéphan now available. Just been sacked by Rennes. Niko Kovac and Rudi Garcia rumoured to be in the running to take over at Rennes.

According to sky bet Lampard is the favourite for the cov job. 😂

It’s obvious saying it but we needed to win 1 of the games out of Leeds and Everton. It still shocks me how bad we were at Fulham. There's 5 winnable games there and we managed 2. Easier said than done but it was achievable. As you say the 4 games before very winnable as well.

I’m not so sure. His win rate is very similar to Coopers. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Smith only won 2 games his second and last game. I just don’t think Smith would have got enough wins to keep us up.

So what if they did. All I’m saying is his win rate will always help that he had that season in league 1. When we cruised to the title. His pl win rate is I think under 30% so it’s helpful having that season in league 1. Not criticizing what he did for us but you have to acknowledge both.

Rodgers didn’t fancy it from the start of that season. Kept moaning about lack of transfers and wanted the sack to get his decent pay out.

I would say starting with Iversen and Soyuncu instead of the clowns Ward and Amartey the season we went down was the glaring problem. Those 2 start the season and imo we comfortably finish mid table.

Niko Kovac and Rudi Garcia rumored to be in the running for the Rennes job if they get rid of Julien Stéphan this weekend. Looks like Conceicao is also in the running. Not sure if we should look at Stéphan. He’s not had a great time since returning there.

Yes. Another London club. Or I could see him being tempted by Newcastle.

He has said that he was joking about managing a lower end club. His ego wouldn’t allow him to. Although he is running out of any top sides in the pl taking him on.

It does help having a season in league 1.

I thought they did. Maybe they don’t.

Can see them going for Conceicao if they get rid of O’Neil especially with the strong Portuguese links they have.

Time will tell. I can see wolves, palace and Everton improving. Southampton will get rid of Mr ego sooner rather than later and get the new manager bounce. I just don’t like the mindset of the club and cooper when it seems to be relying on 3 sides worse than us. A decent coach and we imo comfortably stop up and finish between 12th and 15th. I don’t see that happening with Cooper.

Says a lot when 5 of the bottom 6 in the pl are managed by British coaches. Really hope when Cooper finally goes we look abroad.

They are the sort of side’s you should be looking at beating especially at home. That doesn’t mean to say they are shit. I’d of thought Southampton and Ipswich fans thought the same when we played them recently.

With Cooper no chance.

Who said Bournemouth are shit? I wasn’t expecting much from them but thought we’d beat Southampton and Ipswich and prob draw with Forest.

Would of took 7 points from these 4 games but I still want him gone asap. It’s been more luck than any tactical master plan from him.

It’s as though we are setting up in hope more than actual ability that there are 3 worse sides than us in the league. There are some really poor sides in this league and imo there are so many winnable games. Cooper just comes across so negative both in interviews and our approach during matches. Any side that chances things tactically during a game and he hasn’t got a clue. His in game management is shocking.

Yes it’s obviously survival for a newly promoted side but the longer Cooper stays the less likely it will be. We are more likely to stop up with someone else in charge. I could be wrong but seem to remember Southampton as a newly promoted side getting rid of Atkins and bringing Pochetino in. I just think there are plenty of better options than this prat we have now.
