So let's recap:
The board didn't want to hire Cooper in the first place but did so anyway for some reason.
THEN the board already had concerns about PSR and decided to hand Cooper a 3 year deal instead of a 1+x type Situation (if Cooper wouldn't have agreed to this we should have just called his bluff, who the **** is gonna hire him).
And if that wasn't bad enough, with a candidate in place none of them (bar Rudkin obviously) wanted they didn't think a potential replacement incase of a sacking that could very well come would be handy? Didn't we ****ing learn ANYTHING from Brendan?
