We have at least recruited a manager that is at virtually no risk of being poached by Chelsea or any of the big six 🤪🐍

This is my favourite Cooper. Without them there’d be no whiskey to drown our Stevie Cooper appointment sorrows.

3 year contract ffs. When will we ever learn.

Most Leicester fans right now

When I originally heard it was Potter I was like ‘ah well, he’s very Southgate but at least he’s not fkin Cooper’ and then suddenly we are getting Cooper. It’s a very Leicester way of doing a very Leicester thing in this Top era.

Cooper wasn’t good enough for Notts Forest. He was scrabbling around throughout his time in the Premier League, either conceding too many goals and then reacting by becoming ultra defensive and not scoring enough goals.That’s all the information the club should’ve needed. Why will it be any different at Leicester? Definitely feels like a significant backwards step tactically. I’m sure the players will be disappointed going from a Pep style manager to Cooperball. If he brings the paranoia that he helped develop at Forest, where EVERY decision against him became a post match rant and a written letter of complaint, despite him having a team where Yates’ appalling gamesmanship was encouraged then it will quickly get annoying for all of us!

If we go for Cooper then that’s an absolute downgrade from Maresca. He was all over the shop tactically with Notts Forest in The Premier League, either conceding lots of goals or being that defensive that nothing was created at the other end. He also started the paranoid victim mentality that plagues Forest to this day. Every decision against his team was wrong and yet he appeared blind to the cheating of Yates and the like.

Relegation would’ve been a factor in that rating surely?

Supposedly we had a shirt sponsorship deal all lined up and then inexplicably the sponsor cancelled on the 27th May 🤷🏻‍♂️

He’s also a Brighton fan and likes to suggest potential peril for other clubs which often ends up less serious than he suggests. Meanwhile his beloved Brighton win co stent praise for their highest profits cup™️

Cooper has a very poor record in The Premier League. I’d rather have an unknown quantity (like Enzo was) than someone we have already seen fail.

Very bad Premier League experience. He was rubbish in the top league with Notts Forest. No thanks.

It’s not like a normal job though, you can’t compare a football manager and his team to a standard office job or similar. In a normal job when you are headhunted by another employer there is usually both a succession plan within the business involving staff already employed in the business and/or a reasonable handover time when the person leaving will assist with the handover to the new appointment. In football management there isn’t that. Not only that, the whole management team is usually entirely asset stripped as will be the case with Maresca and his gang. Tbh, Enzo leaving after just one season and after winning The Championship is an outlier, it’s not a normal situation even in the disloyal world of football. I can’t think of another example in recent times. I do totally understand why he’s gone. There’s football reasons sure, but the most important consideration is money. The apparent scarcity of the type of managers top clubs now want has resulted in relegated Kompany at Bayern and Championship experienced Enzo at Chelsea. This scarcity of talent and the level of disruption left at the asset stripped club should be reflected in a higher compensation or transfer fee for a manager. £10m doesn’t reflect the risk that Enzo leaving now places on Leicester’s chances of survival. He should’ve cost Chelsea the price of a quality player on a long term contract, something like £30m or so. Not only does this truly reflect the potential damage that a successful manager leaving causes to a club, it might make clubs like Chelsea think twice before signing new managers on for five years and then sacking them less than 12 months later, repeating the process to asset stripping another club!

He got the job based on the long term project he outlined. He’s then not even lasted a year. He’s been particularly disloyal in a disloyal business however much you defend him. McKenna on the other hand has already given Ipswich two years and he’s committed to another despite bigger clubs wanting him.

Cry me a river.

To be fair even in what is a disloyal business. this Enzo saga is an unprecedented lack of loyalty. When has a new manager left after just one season straight after winning The Championship? I can’t remember this situation ever happening before.

Yeh but that pre-assist against Brentford though…..🥰

He’s scored against Mexico too btw but the fact is he’s good in the air, it’s not all about goals, it’s defending and also creating havoc in the opposition box. Souttar had demonstrated both those attributes in a LCFC shirt. Not sure the relevance of your crap put-down but I’ll give it back to you anyway. 😂 ’Cry me a river..’

That’s a DHGate snide😂

I forgot that statistics like goals don’t count if they don’t suit your opinion 👍🏻👍🏻

He’s very good in the air defensively and attacking, he wins a lot of balls at both ends even if he doesn’t score. He’s scored 11 goals in 29 games for Australia.

Basic moral fibre in your friendship group? Presumably you have to interview any potential mates to check that they match the ultra high standards, including checking their kids drawers for LCFC tops! 😂 I’d suggest that any of the companies you’ve outlined will have some moral issues if they can afford ‘humungous advertising budgets’ - it tends to come with the territory. There’s not many businesses that make shed loads of money that won’t have skeletons in their moral closet somewhere!

They’ll take our East Stand Decelopment, Seagrave’s 9 hole golf course, The Birch, Filbert Fox, the £25 physical season ticket, clappers, free coconuts, FBS, Danny Ward, one of the big screens, our next 3 appointed managers, all the soap and blue roll in the toilets and Will Alves.
