Managerial Replacements

[ARM1968]

Let’s be honest folks. This season is writ off as my mate used to say about his wife around 11am most days. 

[EnderbyFox]

Well done Steve mate, you were definitely the outstanding choice & preferred candidate and the fact we've took 3 weeks to get back to you is in no part due to us being strung along by Graham Potter, welcome aboard

[Blue and white]

I've found a positive, majority of Brighton fans wouldn't take Potter back, but every Forest fan would take Cooper back. 🤔

 

Also he's at least he's achieved something in English football, promotion at Forest and winning the U17's world cup

4 million reasons why 

If that’s the reason, it’s insane. Surely we can afford a poxy £4m from next year’s accounting budget?

Stevie Cooper's Blue n White Army

Genuinely don't mind it if it's Cooper. My only issue with it is that he's starting on the back foot because so many will want his head from the off.

Top after landing his orchestrated betting sting on Potter 👊

That’s because of the state of their respective clubs. Potter doesn’t go back because of the work he did at Brighton to elevate them. Cooper would be welcome because they’re just as bad as when he left. 
 

What an utter mess.

Maybe we can't. All evidence from the last ~year points to the club being way out of its depth when it comes to PSR so could be the case that every little helps.

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

If potter is stalling then no reason why we want to hold out for him

 

We need someone who WANTS to be here and will dig deep in what will be a tough season.

 

Cooper isn't everyone's favourite but will be pragmatic and hopefully pick us up enough points to do the job we need to do.....survive

I can assure you I wouldn't want his head! 

[StanSP]

Are we hiring him as the 'best option' in case we go down so we don't have to re-hire in the Championship next season? 

 

If so, how depressing

Although it seems like they are not quite certain as they mention Potter "is also on the Foxes' managerial shortlist"

If there’s one thing you should not compromise on because of relatively minor cost considerations, it’s the managerial appointment. 

[Lad1966]

If Potter is stalling, then just take him off our list. I praying that we will go for the wba manager🤞

That's the way I see it, doesn't bode well for the points deductions. It's going to be a long season!

[Trelleh]

Advanced talks with Potter yesterday, advanced talks with Cooper today, I can read between the lines 🤤

You sure about he can do the job ,my option would have been Moyes ,

[hejammy]

The only way I would be slightly ok with this is if the LCFC twitter team posted this GIF:

 

[foxfanazer]

Start the process again if Potter doesn't want it. Don't just go for Cooper because he's the only one who wants it who's been interviewed 

[Tommy G]

Not sure why everyone wants someone who clearly isn't fully committed to the job from the outset. 

 

Potter has seen a 5/10 on the dancefloor but hoping after a couple of beers an 8/10 will be interested, can't blame him

Can someone please explain what people dont like about Cooper other than he is unnactractive and an ex Forest manager?

 

He took Forest from the bottom of the championship to staying up in the PL and he battered us and Arsenal in the FA cup along the way.

 

Under ownership that doesnt buy 30 players a season I can see him being a good manager for us. If he can get us playing the same way Forest were when they beat us 4-1 we'll be laughing.

Totally agree. The comments about Cooper's looks are pathetic. If he had done a similar job at say Wolves or Southampton I doubt there would be nearly as much hate concerning his record
