Completely agree.
Cooper set the ball rolling and brought in players that made the squad actively worse than it was the season before. Instead of picking the best players, he then started OAP BDCR ahead of Fatawu and froze out Ricardo from the get go. Shocking.
Just because he achieved a better set of results statistically, doesn't make him any better than RVN either.
Both managers have been equally as bad but ultimately, the mess above the managers has led to the situation we are in now, regardless of who was/is in charge of the football on the pitch. Also remember many of Coopers inadequate coaching team were still in place for weeks after RVN joined. Again, a complete mismanagement of the setup from the get go. Who in their right mind appoints a new, unproven manager without bringing in their own staff in the first place? And if RVN didn't have any, then why appoint him at all?
The manager gets a lot of stick but the people above him have been exponentially worse this season.
