He's managed 19 club league games in the past decade. I stand corrected, apparently they are thick enough. Not for the first time I have underestimated just how incompetent these people are. 1 2

Think he was very fortunate with the staff he had at United, those who were already at the club and those he took with him. He did good jobs with Oxford, Northampton and Halifax. But I wouldn't want him. He spent too much money on rubbish at Sheffield United in the PL and they got pathetically relegated. His job at Middlesbrough was poor after and Carrick now has the same team in a promotion battle. We can and should do better than Chris Wilder.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 MON ffs Give it Cooper in the summer ready for a Championship rebuild.
Lesta2014 Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 May aswell get Steve Walsh and Matt Elliott in as his assistants too 1
Aleksz Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Forest aren’t sacking Cooper. The board don’t want to give it to Benitez or any other shitter past the summer. Strap yourselves in boys you’re having an interim.
MPH Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 25 minutes ago, Wortho said: I am not sure but he's having a successful season. Whether he will be any good time will tell. MON came from Norwich after being sacked after 6 months. what? MON wasn’t sacked. He left them to join us. 1
Deeg67 Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 MON is a good man and might be able to get enough of a rise out of this group to survive. It's preposterous on so many levels but honestly, it's even more preposterous that Rodgers kept his job until this week. At this stage I'm not sure we have a better option (remember, they have to be willing to take the job), and surviving at all costs trumps everything else.

Kieran McKenna: “Working with Ole and José was great but Brendan Rodgers is my inspiration” https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/kieran-mckenna-working-with-ole-and-jose-was-great-but-brendan-rodgers-is-my-inspiration-j52stn86k Ashton: McKenna has the same traits as Brendan Rodgers. CEO Mark Ashton says new Blues boss Kieran McKenna has a similar football intelligence to Brendan Rodgers. https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/21268051.ashton-mckenna-traits-brendan-rodgers/ There are other articles too. Fair play, you've got more than enough evidence to back your point up there. I would say though, McKenna has shown far more tactical flexibility at Ipswich than Rodgers did here.

He gets respect from his players, and it’s obvious, they play for him. We will not attract a long term coach/manager that will be immediately exposed to a dog fight. WhenMartin left Forest after his last spell, he had totally lost the players. 16 minutes ago, LcFc_Smiv said: I like Wilder, I just don’t know if he would replicate what he did at Sheffield United anywhere else.

I could never see our board choosing to work with him.
Sampson Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Hiring MON would be like Newcastle hired Joe Kinnear a few years back - yesterday’s manager who were good in the 90s that even most League Two clubs wouldn’t hire anymore. We’d be a laughing stock 1 1
Sampson Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 7 minutes ago, MPH said: what? MON wasn’t sacked. He left them to join us. No. He was sacked a couple of weeks before we hired him if I remembered rightly after Norwich had made a poor start to trying to get promoted back to the PL again.

whetstonefox Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 It’s just a desperate mess, biggest game for years and we are going into it with stand ins. We deserve what we are likely to get, a lame 0-1 defeat. Still while there’s life etc!

Grebfromgrebland Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 I actually like to see Matt Elliott and Gerry taggart come in as defensive coaches and explain to this shower of shit what commitment to the cause looks like.

Mike Oxlong Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Marsch, Hassenhutl and Oscar Garcia on the shortlist for interim manager according to Fabrizio. That’s more of a shitlist than shortlist.
CosbehFox Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 If its Martin O'Neill, might as well see if Ferguson fancies it
CrazyKopCorner Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 MON is a clear heart ruling head (he was manager when Top first started supporting us apparently) - My heart says it would be great to have him back and would slightly sweeten the relegation pill. My head says he's been out of the game for way too long and this is essentially am admission that we can't attract the manager we need and that we are accepting relegation.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 The idea of MON as a short term motivator makes sense, if a slightly romantic one, but remember how long it actually took him to get us going in 1996.

You remember wrongly. MON quit Norwich on the day they played us at Filbert Street. The board at City were about to appoint Mike Walker, but the chairman at the time (Martin George) managed to persuade them to change their mind. It's all in his book, which came out last year. 1
