2 key moments
Forest away - FA cup
BR should have been sacked after the away cup loss to Forest (he bottled CL 2 seasons in a row which would’ve changed everything as well) - real first worrying signs of players commitment - KP committed to playing a game of chicken with him and he was happy to take the club down as he’d be paid (see Celtic)
Revival chance wasted
Sacking Cooper
Cooper - I’ll never understand what the stick against him is, we went back up and everyone knew that we had one agenda - TO STAY UP - we were never going to achieve anything else
We were picking up points, outside relegation zone, the players still wanted to play Maresca ball but weren’t good enough to at the PL level (as seen in the first half of the opening game against Spurs) - he brought realistic tactics in (as seen in the second half), we were picking up points, and we would have had a good chance of staying up if he had stayed
For anyone that bring up the Forest connection of Cooper - Martin O’Neill and Wes Morgan
I really struggle to see what other problems there were with him with the players he had and situation of the club - we were picking up points and an ok distance (not safe) from relegation
