Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'
HankMarvin replied to ClaphamFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
Ours is a very unique situation. There aren’t any examples, and of the 5 sanctions imposed on EFl Championship clubs none have been promoted during or prior to that period. -
Positives he can also play left wing back and Cooper likes players that allow tactical flexibility and has top flight experience. It all depends on the fee I guess and if the injury has limited his ability.

Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'
HankMarvin replied to ClaphamFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
The Premier League and the English Football League (EFL) operate as separate entities, each with its own set of rules and regulations. However, there are mechanisms in place to ensure that sanctions and disciplinary measures imposed by one league can be recognised and enforced by the other, particularly when clubs are promoted or relegated between the leagues. If a club is sanctioned by the EFL (such as points deductions, fines), and that club is then promoted to the Premier League, the Premier League can choose to honour those sanctions. This cooperation ensures that clubs cannot evade penalties simply by changing leagues. The same principle applies in reverse when a club relegated from the Premier League to the EFL carries any ongoing sanctions with them. For example, if an EFL club is given a points deduction for financial misconduct and then wins promotion to the Premier League, the Premier League would typically enforce that points deduction in the following season. This collaboration helps maintain the integrity of the English football pyramid and ensures that clubs are held accountable regardless of the league they are in. -

How did we try and comply? We had a ridiculous wage bill the worst in the league to turnover 118% Spent £50m and arguably could’ve sold more players -
FABIO CARVALHO Like Morton, he had a successful loan at Hull last season after joining them in the January window. Fabio Carvalho is now being courted by many in England and on the continent, with a growing list of suitors keen. Those clubs include previous side Fulham – where he first made his name – along with Southampton, Leicester and clubs in Germany, France, Spain and Holland, most of which have qualified for European competition. No interest is advanced yet and Liverpool are keen to give Carvalho a good look in pre-season before sanctioning any exit. The midfielder is not desperate to leave and wants to prove to the new coaching staff he deserves a place moving forward.

The first set of point deductions are not in relation to the 23/24 season those accounts have not been filed yet. So even selling him does not mean there won’t be a points deduction for the previous breach.

So I doubt we will be spending “decent” money again, if you are implying spending 44m this season wasn’t a decent amount given our financial woes with PSR

La Liga rules mean Barca must fill a €130m hole in their accounts for this season by the end of June if they are to bring in any new players this summer — even on free transfers or loans.

Listed as first team manager here, as opposed to Head Coach.

Dross is subjective when your squad was battling relegation from the championship a season before, they wasn’t arriving at mid table prem club.

Let’s hope not, but let’s not forget this is the same forest fans that speak positively of him hero worshipped (credit in the bank) him so much that they was cheering cooper after Fulham beat them 5-0 and Forest mustered one shot on target.

Depends how much of lack of say he had in it, Gibbs white and Nico Williams he definitely wanted if he didn’t want players like Awoniyi he played him in 27 games and his goals kept them. There countless positive other examples. In the second season the athletic reports that it was coopers targets, to allow for fluid flexibility The Welshman wanted players like Ola Aina, who can play on the right side of defence or the left, as well as operating as a winger; young men such as Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who can operate on either flank or, in Elanga’s case, down the middle; and Divock Origi, who can play as a central striker or as a wider forward. Ola Aina’s versatility means Nottingham Forest can be tactically flexible Cooper wanted the ability to change formation not just on a game-by-game basis, but also within matches. Steve Cooper has had Sangare on his shortlist since the club won promotion in 2022. Last summer he was unobtainable but this time around the club got their man. Maybe it’s not quite as clear cut as people like to think. .

It’s a bit of a double edge sword, because some of those players went on to get goals and assists etc that kept them up. The Chairmen’s transfer dealings couldn’t have impeded him that much, because he stuck around and had another summer of it.

But he was also backed considerably with expensive players that were utilised in that first season. Yes the scattergun approach affected team cohesion, but a majority of the expensive signings made the nucleus of the team stronger, yet the 190m net investment doesn’t really get mentioned as a positive. For context Luton spent 25m net Sheffield united 36m net Burnley 90m net 22/23 Fulham 50m 22/23 Bournemouth 83m

Spurs want to use in deal with Southampton for Alcaraz

Did you see what was posted earlier, for Coopers second season. He blamed the negative style in season one down to a lack of player experience yet the average possession 39% was similar in season 2 before he got the boot. If he didn’t have time to drill the system in 55 games or in subsequent months after the transfer window shut what makes you think that won’t be the case with a team he has had for a month?

The comeback is on

here is his Forest one “The affable Welshman has been warmly embraced into the hearts of Forest supporters everywhere, with it coming as no surprise to find that he is often loudly serenaded with his own personal chant” “Stevie Cooper, Stevie Cooper He hates the Leicester, he hates the Derby Forest are magic! Stevie Cooper, Stevie Cooper He hates the Leicester, he hates the Derby Forest are magic!”
-
I think it’s been referenced multiple times that he has said he didn’t want to play a defensive/counter attacking style, but after some big defeats felt his squad lacked the prem experience so had to adapt to a more defensive nature. That said it wouldn’t really hold much weight if the possession stats stayed the same in his second season. I couldn’t see Forests possession stats solely under cooper for the second season?

Rob tanners article Steve Cooper If both Potter and Corberan have a clear philosophy and playing style like Maresca, Cooper’s isn’t as clear to define. The Welshman forged his reputation with England’s youth teams before getting his first managerial chance at Swansea City, where he succeeded Potter. His style was seen as more pragmatic and adaptable than the clear identity Potter’s Swansea possessed and although he took them to back-to-back play-offs, in the 2020-21 season when they were beaten in the final by Brentford, his side had the third-best defensive record, conceding just 39 goals in 46 games, but only scored 56. In the following season, however, as he led Nottingham Forest to the play-off final, finally emerging victorious, his side scored 73, the third-highest total, while retaining a defensive stability, only conceding 40. Against the odds, he kept Forest in the Premier League in 2022-23. But as their play style wheel from that campaign shows, they did so with very little possession, playing more of a counter-attacking style. With so many changes to his playing personnel, Forest played underdog football to survive, to suit the players he had at his disposal. After promotion, he quickly realised that, if Forest tried to play the way he wanted them to, they would be relegated. He wanted to be attack-minded and on the front foot, as they had been on their way to promotion. But after a few games, and a few heavy defeats, he realised that they needed to be more disciplined and organised with the players they had. He changed his defensive approach to a low block and made Forest tough to beat. It wasn’t always pretty, but it got the job done. He always spoke about how he felt conflicted, because it went against the way he wanted football to be played. He wanted his teams to play, but felt he did not have the Premier League experience in his squad to do that. With more experienced players he could be more adventurous. Cooper likes his teams to play with good organisation and structure, but that system can change depending on the circumstances and the players at his disposal. One thing he has in common with Potter and Corberan is where his coaching passion comes from, with a Spanish and Barcelona influence. As a youth coach at Liverpool, he worked with Jose ‘Pep’ Segura and Rodolfo Borrell, who went on to assist Guardiola at Manchester City. Segura in particular was a big influence on Cooper. From them, he learned to pay attention to detail, checking up on his players after training to ensure they were OK and insisting on learning everyone’s names around the club, to foster club unity. Cooper, who didn’t like being an authority figure and didn’t like being called boss or gaffer, simply Coops or Steve, might not have shown a clear football philosophy but he appears to be a more pragmatic coach who would assess the Leicester squad and design a game plan to suit. The merits of the playing styles of each candidate will be just one of the factors Leicester have to consider. It is now a question of which coach fits not only the long-term vision, but the unique challenges they will face back in the Premier League. It
