Their fans are stupid. They only love him as he got them up and then failed to see any faults. He’s not a PL manager as sadly we will find out. 

Thank for that thorough, and balance post.

Has he ? 

One or two self-styled ITKs have claimed that Cooper has been offered the job and is thinking it over, but no credible journalist has reported it.

[Wymsey]

So, no major developments - then?

 

Admittedly, was quite surprised to see Top and Rudkin on a Yacht together the other day - meaning it could be Susan Whelan doing this work?..

Wasn't the yacht at the Monaco GP about a week and a half a go?

Exceptionally adept CEO she may be, I'm pretty sure she isn't picking our manager. Could definitely be wrong though

From this forum, there was also a photo of the pair at some stadium - too.

Are they joined at the hip?

How do you know they're "better"? That's just your guess. As many managers from abroad fail as turn out to be another Klopp or Wenger. Also not one of those better options would want to be starting on minus points. Same reason Potter wants nothing to do with us.

By the same token how do you know they are worse? 
How do you know? they’ve nothing to lose starting on minus points. If they keep us up their reputation is enhanced if they don’t it’s down to the points deduction. 

Glasner, Iraola, and De Zerbi have done fine with no previous premiership experience.

Pass.

 

Was more thinking of this..:

The club release names to see how it will sit with fans. 
 

It happen with Marsch.

 

It happen with Parker last year. 

ITKs also came on those times and said they were done deals. Probably fed the same “release”

 

I suspect we are still in the review period

If the club cared about what the fans thought, Rodgers would have went about a year before he did and Rudkin would have been stuffed in his boot. 

 

They don't put enough stock into what we think to let it influence major business decisions.

Glad they don’t tbh - based upon the fans views on here we would be a serious car crash - Top and pop have been great for this football club and when it has come to appointments they have got more right than wrong! To get back up first time of asking when you consider how long it took us to get there until they arrived - we spent many years drifting directionless - hopefully they have the same success this season !

Have any said it's not happening?

This is so ridiculously unbelievable but given our history….

Not yet, as far as I know. But give it a few days - by then a new name will probably be the next shoo-in for the job…

This is the sort of bonkers name you could get behind.

Steve Cooper  the dragon, takes coaching in his stride

But it'll be a struggle to get City fans onside

If players play with passion, and he shows Nige's brass

And keeps us in the Premier league, he can take me up the...

Realistic is the problem he’s not good enough for us imo. Wouldn’t keep us up at all.

 

We need a manager that has considerable experience at this level : we should go for Moyes if we are serious about staying up and progressing.

Moyes is the clear best choice.

 

It will be really frustrating if we dont employ Moyes, its extremely fortunate he is available.

 

Although I think someone like Cooper at least has 1 season of staying up under his belt which would make him a better choice than Corberan.

Fair point. But the fact is we’ve been here before. Twice. Offers, done deals. And each one fell away. There’s something we do during managers searches that places  doubt on Cooper being the one. 
 

(I could get behind Cooper by the way)

It's GONE, the word is GONE!

As in " wheres Fred?"

Ans. "he's GONE down the shop"

How nuts is " he's went down the shop"

Yanks and Shearer mangle the bleedin' English language!

disagree with some of that, there was plenty of people giving Rodgers the benefit, I thought he's earned the right to try and keep us up. Rudkin i 100% agree with though, he'd be unanimous

But he does not fit the ‘blueprint’ the club seems be favouring of late, so it is highly unlikely unless these particular leopards change their spots.

Yep. Marsch was heavily odds-on before we chose Smith, and Parker was the same before Maresca. It’s a pattern.
