Not reliable at all

5 games. If we win tonight we have lost twice all season. Stats can be twisted to suit if you look hard enough. The club employed him. He was probably cheap and available and actually wanted the job. We do not know about injuries/ attitude/ bugs/ tactics. You may be right but you cannot just keep sacking people. Mandaric did that and look what happened.

So what’s the alternative? Keep him and needlessly get relegated again? Or sack him and stand a chance of surviving? 
 

If he stays we will get relegated.

 

If he stays beyond Christmas we will then require a miraculous escape again. 
 

If he goes now we stand a chance of surviving, providing we actually bring in a decent replacement.

Cheerio!

Who knows how true this is, it's the 3rd or 4th report so no smoke without fire...

I dont think its something that would just be made up...but my guess would be agents of unhappy players? Verstagaard maybe?

 

Something just doesn't feel right does it, I'm pretty open in my views, I think hes a nice honest guy, I hope he is successful but I think its going to be in the football league.

But I have never seen so many people so quickly want a  manager out. I said at the time of his appointment it made no sense because he was never getting time here, he had to hit the ground running or fans would be on him quicker than you'd imagine and it's turned out the be the case. 

He hasn't helped himself by dropping some absolute clangers but all round

a really silly appointment from the off that wasn't really thought through.

Okay then. You are Top. You sack Cooper tonight. Have to pay him off and his staff. Who are employing?

Personally if I were Top I'd have a competent director of football and ideally also some sort of succession plan in place to help me make that decision

[Will1981]

get him gone now I was all for giving him a chance but not starting Alves in the cup is criminal as is starting Soumare who has showed nothing but comtempt for the club for the whole time he has been here.

Brilliant thoughtful response.

Cheer up mate.

 

I was merely joking, at that part I put in bold of your comment about him trying.

 

You say it like he’s a Dad stepping up for an U11 Sunday team not a overly paid PL manager.

 

I can’t see how anyone can defend anything that Cooper has done here whether a lackluster pre-season, apparent obsession with “PL experience” and his OTT cautious attitude towards everything match day.

Potter would be choice number one.

 

Corberan would also be a major consideration, however, I don’t think that’s achievable at the moment….

 

Moyes would be a serious consideration, even if it’s purely for short term stability. 
 

Niko Kovac would also be hight on the list too, I think he’s a promising young managers.

Moyes would absolutely keep us up

Moyes for me

how the club came to the conclusion Cooper was the right man is really mind boggling 

 

was so many better options out there we should have gone for

We missed out on Corborean. Baggies now 16 points from 6 games, top of the table.

You’re assuming that the people making those decisions aren’t complete idiots

tbf i think we are all amazed how they even get through pull doors

[foxfanazer]

I wonder how much time and how many games we'll write off before we get this done

[winteriscoming]

You only have to look how well Palace, Brighton and Bournemouth have done with foreign managers with no previous pl experience. A lot better options abroad.

So, how exactly did Cooper end up in professional football management?

 

I'm so bemused. 

 

Don't Forest fans still love him for something?

The run he had that took Forest from bottom of the championship, to battling for automatic promotion was genuinely sensational, and they were playing some good stuff in that period. Clearly they had little to lose and got an incredible amount of momentum. But Billy Davies did that with Derby too.

I was willing to back him when he came in, but he genuinely is clueless isn't he?
