Martin Allen vibes. Painful how out of his depth he is, he thinks hes managing Stevenage.

Need to be proactive. A mistake is a mistake, he's just out of his depth, no shame in us admitting we just hired someone that isn't up to it. It's not like he was handpicked following a thorough competitive recruitment campaign, no one wanted to come and he was desperate to get back in. The situation has now changed, if we knew we weren't getting a points deduction in July, he wouldn't be here so why continue? And yes it's 5 games with us but this is a continuation of the exact stuff he was doing as forest he's almost 20 premier league games without a win. Although he's no where near as crazy, reminds of the Martin Allen appointment where it was obvious from day one the job was too big for him.

You talking about the Spurs or Fulham game? 👀

Lets goooooo. Happy clappers will be happy though.

At least we didn't give him a 3 year deal before panic appointing a terrible manager who has no tactical identity rendering him useless.....Cooper will be gone soon anyway 🤞

For me, proper clubs, serious clubs who want to be fighting for European football eventually, always appoint a forward thinking manager, you should always be thinking will this manager improve us and get us closer to what we aspire to be? Now with that comes an element of risk you likely have to roll the dice on younger up and coming managers who aren't very well known and sure you might miss, but if you trust the process you will hit more than you miss (eyes on brighton) Coopers appointment at the time felt the complete opposite of that, the kind of decision bad clubs made years ago appointing Steve Bruce, Alan Pardew, Mark Hughes. Sure they might give you a short term lift, but its always heading towards one place, an underwhelming mid season sacking while you scramble around to find another underwhelming guy who is just desperate for the opportunity to get one more pay check. Watching teams do that always made me think what is the goal here appointing a manager like that? Where are you trying to go with this other than tread water for a short period of time. And I think we are right here, I don't know every young and upcoming manager out there who would be a calculated risk, but I am sure they are out there and would of given it a go. What I do know, however is appointing the 2024 version of Pardew/Hughes etc. is not the answer.

Couldnt agree more. Just delaying the inevitable and hurting ourselves because we want to be nice and stick to unwritten rules. Theres an endless list of red flags now, 5 games in a row the same mistakes, the same inability to manage a game. Cowardly subs, cowardly set ups. Favourites getting in and undroppable over good players who have been frozen out. He has shown you his ceiling this is it, he was the same at forest, they love him for the promotion but they think they are much better off without him. There is no system or tactic, he's got the players running alot, but that should be bare minimum, not the literal tactical system. I'm sure we will wait a few more games before it becomes untenable and then all the happy clappers will wake up and think "hmmmm maybe waiting this long wasn't such a good thing" ala rodgers.

When I read Gareth Barry had come out of retirement, I feared the worst.

Undroppable favourites....matches up well with the Ricardo situation on the other end of the spectrum. Sunday league manager mentality unfortunately.

The last line is resonates well, I had a really low expectations and hes actually worse!

Have to remember he didn't win any of his last 15 games at forest. 20 games with no wins and you can see why. He's just not cut out for managing at this level. All his errors are consistent, every game it's the same. Really not what sure those that say give him time are hoping for, he's shown you his hand....he has nothing else... We aren't dealing with some kind of extreme/specific tactics (like enzo) that need time to bed in. There is no tactic or style, it's just stay in the game and hope, this is it, it's not going to get better.

It's a large part of why we went down and will go down this year if we aren't brave enough to act. We aren't a serious club, just happy to be taking part, everyone seems to be more bothered about being nice and following football protocol (give him 10 games etc) than just admitting it isn't working. He isn't the manager we wanted, he isn't the guy we sort after, he was the guy that fair play to him at the time was the only one brave enough to take us on (and being a bit mean you can see why he was desperate enough, no real club was giving him a premier league job)....the situation is now different, we have bought players, we aren't getting a points deduction we don't need to settle for the friendly guy out of his depth.

It's not reactionary when he's done the same thing wrong 5 league games out of 5. He's not cut out for football at this level, and we are actively hurting ourselves by trying to be nice about it. Football especially at this level is brutal and we don't have time to just let this play out to his inevitable sacking any longer than it needs to be.

So what? I care about the right thing to do, than the optics of it.

It's quite simple. Anyone that is still defending him isn't a leicester fan. 5th game in a row absolute coward. Imagine being 1-0 down at home to everton for that long and doing nothing....imagine leaving fatawu on the bench....imagine leaving ricardo out again. Just get him gone.

Everton to score to force his hand. He's absolutely ****ing dreadful. Makes it so much harder than it needs to be. Can't stand him

Thank ****. Kick on and win it now. Won't change my views on the pub manager but it's simply a game we have to win no matter what

He doesn't know how to influence a game. It's hope the set up at the start is correct and if not just stand there until it's too late

Hopefully we've learnt from rodgers, getting relegated which is nailed on with this pub manager is far worse

Foxestrust match report will be good. Probably blame the rain. Most of us have seen enough football to spot a lame duck and thats what we've got. Comfortably the worst manager in the division by some margin. He's a beat your chest play for the badge manager like frank lampard. Top level football is beyond that outside of the last few games in a relegation fight.

Even if we turn it around its the 5th game in a row he's made a massive cock up. He just doesn't learn, every mistake is repetitive.

Standard

Surprised skipp dropped, but ndidi was excellent last week....a good problem to have. Glad he's gone more attacking and we have good attacking options in the bench. JJ and Ayew down the right again offering absolutely zero creativity, but its an encouraging step. Must win.

Must win already, when you are trying to stay up and you know points will be hard to come by, you have to win these games regardless of how early in the season it is. We will certainly learn alot about cooper and his stubborness by the team selection, first home game against relegation battlers, I think it will define how long he lasts with us.

The actual lines we were shown suggested he was about a yard or 2 on! If he was on it was clear it would of been right on the line, they just took a guess
