Cooper - OUT

[Arkie Bennett]

We can't afford to let this go on until 10+ games. That's over a quarter of the season not looking like winning any matches. We do have the players to beat teams in the bottom half of the PL, but the team selection (including inexplicably marginalising some players), the substitutions, and the non-existent tactics (except for gung ho in the last 10 minutes) are stifling us. Cooper has to go, the sooner the better.

[Collymore]

Did anyone see BDCR kicking the ball out at HT completely on his own? Don't think I've ever seen that. He looked like a loner kid down the park. Could no coach or other player go out and join him? Ridiculous lack of planning all over the place. It screams lack of care and attention.

But they would have got wet.

I was just wondering, who’d do a better job managing us - Steve Cooper or my dog, who just laid a freshly steaming shite? Tough call, but at least one of them knows how to produce results.

It was the kind of thing you only usually see when there’s going to be a half time substitution. Maybe one of the wingers came in with a knock and it was precautionary but we just saw it and concluded he must be coming on.

A competent manager wouldn't seen us over the line today. They were there for the taking at 1-1

Very strange. He looked like he couldn't give a ****. But it appeared he'd be coming on for the start of the second half. But didn't play a minute. So just got drenched in a thunder storm on his own doing slow motion step overs. Bizarre on so many levels.

You do question what on earth he does during the week before the match, because there is no evidence of planned moves or basic structure, it’s just get on with it boys. What a clown

I still haven’t seen any clarity in our play. There’s no game pattern, no sign of an identity at all, and this is the Premier League, mind you. At least guys like Martin Russell and Dyche have a clear plan, even if the execution or players aren’t always up to it. But with Cooper, what even is Cooperball??

[wardyfox86]

Not about to start abusing the guy, he didn't hire himself. He just isn't PL quality.

 

He won't keep us up because he's shown already that he doesn't have the ability to get points where he shouldn't and aside from about 7-8 fixtures, this is exactly what is required.

 

I think we lose the the next 2 and he goes. 2 games, 5 games or 15 games, doesn't matter how long he's been here, it's clear it's just not going to work and not going to change.

[Unabomber]

We need a manager who has a connection with the club and one who the fans like and respect. A guy who could keep us up. 

[DezFox]

I absolutely hate it when people suggest wanting him gone is reactionary. Did not want him, it was a bad apointment and it still is. Completely and utterly as expected!!
Absolutely zero overreaction from anyone. Just a situation playing out in exactly the way we knew it would. The same predicable outcome that created the negativity from the initial apointment. Every single day with cooper on charge is a day wasted and ultimately a day closer to relegation. Do any, ANYTHING to get him gone.

Who was the last poor appointment before Cooper?

Not appointment but blunder as in Thier job. Relegation, FFP rules break, putting players on stupid contracts having no plan. They are the blunders...and it's one after another. Rudkin is the name I point most of the blame to. We need new direction at the club. It's all gone stale and Cooper's appt is another one to add to the list.

What kind of dog do you have? Has he had much experience? 🤔. Personally, I’m prepared to back him. 

[whetstonefox]

I was willing him to do well but I can’t see what identity he is trying to create. Sad but he has to go, I fear we’ll limp on till March repeating the blunder of hanging onto Rodgers for way too long.

Yep totally bizarre. My take from the first half was that the players aren’t with him. They woke up second half, because Everton played twenty yards deeper and went too narrow

That was Pearson in 2014/15. We weren't winning, bottom, but we were all behind him. We had faith. We weren't losing by much and we were in every game. One thing we had is spirit and a connection.

 

Cooper - none of that 

[Muzzy_no7]

Has he been sacked yet? 

[CosbehFox]

You want to sum Cooper up, his biggest issue is that he thinks what he worked at Forest is the answer here. It’s a different set of players. And it’s tactics what got in 1 win in 13 at end of his time at Forest

Pearson? Hadn’t thought about him but maybe he’s the one?

Nah leave the man in peace.

 

Reckon I'd take Moyes if we had to go ex PL.

 

Gotta be some European coaches who fancy it, not sure throwing them in midway through the season will work though.

Exactly this, we have a new manager, new squad, in the premier league and have lost 2 games in the first 5 and people want Cooper out already. heaven help us

Not sure if you're on a wind up or haven't  seen any games?  

1st game against spurs he admitted  he got it wrong but then does exactly the the same against villa. Didn't see Fulham game so no comment from me. Then last week he gifted Palace with the negativity.  Subs killed us and invited them on . Today just speaks for itself. So yes I do want him gone .

[FoxOfMelton]

He's not a Premier League level manager. It's that simple. i knew it, you knew it, the rest of the fan base knew it.

 

Why didn't the board know it?

No. Ship.has sailed and it was the right person at the right time. My point is if you get the appointment right, and all is aligned, then you've got half a chance. At the moment the club is fragmented from top to bottom amd that is my issue. 

 

For the record, I love Pearson, but he's not what we need now. No need to go back.

Yep I've had enough now gerrim out. Anyone is better than him.
