Cooper - OUT

If that orange shell suit was on offer for free I might take it for any painting and decorating.

 

If I then found out that I had to pay £3.95 postage I'd be cancelling. 

 

Not only is it absolutely revolting, Cooper seems to live in it so I have a massive association with him when I see it! 

 

Possibly the most hideous Leicester clobber out there - on a par with that Thai Hawaiian shirt and shorts combo that was on here a while back at an extortionate price. 

 

We need to change from Adidas.

This just shows how far we’ve fallen behind when Dyches anti football is preferred to clueless Cooper. 
Another reason why an unknown foreign imo is a better option. 
Genuinely would not want Dyche here. 

Would Dyche be my preferred option no of course not.

 

In a straight choice between Cooper and Dyche I would choose Dyche every single time!

Hence why we are bottom in pretty much all of the metrics i.e. shots faced, shots taken, xG for and against. The underlying data suggests that we should have fewer points than we do. The way we're playing isn't sustainable. The same could be said of Forest under Cooper. They sacked him, got a better manager in and haven't looked back. 

Nailed it. For me, it’s simple: we can do better. 
 

He might nick a point over the next two league games but then it’s the right time to get rid and hire one of the names I’ve mentioned numerous times on here.
 

Get someone better in, build on a start of 9 or 10 pts from 11 games and go from there. (Disclaimer: we are extremely lucky to have those points on the board IMO, we could very easily have just 3 or 4 and still be winless.) 
 

7 wins and 7 draws from the remaining 27 games is more than achievable for any competent manager.

That was before the FA cup win though. I think the Forest debacle in 2022 was the right time. 

That game was the turning point for me. He had my full support until that defeat to Forest.

I know. I've always said I was Rodgers out before the cup win. I know that might sound crazy to some but the cracks had already appeared by then

 

I don't think we won the FA cup because of Brendan personally. A Tielemans 40 yarder and Chilwell not cutting his toe nails helped massively

It’s the ghost of 22/23 for me. We slept-walked towards relegation. Bumbling along around the bottom, always getting a result now and then to keep Brendan in the job but the signs were there for so long.

He never sound sure of what he’s saying in press conferences does he?  If that’s him in the changing room no wonder we can’t put 90 together

I can see why Forest wasn't the end of Rodgers in 2022, he did have a decent amount of credit in the bank. He should have definitely gone after the Brighton defeat in 2022-2023.

I've said it time and time again but all cup finals are like this. Players win cup finals. Through the years you can recall the winners - Cantona, Gerrard, Drogba all the way back to the videos of Villa and even Young against us - we are not the only club that win a Cup because of a player.

Don’t you think us sacking a manger after 9 games who isn’t woefully underperforming compared to expectations would put off potential new managers coming in?

How many top managers want to come and work for a trigger happy board who sack so quickly? 
 

 

I don't think they would be too bothered, it's the nature of the beast, poor performances leads to manager's getting sacked. With Cooper I don't see him lasting too long more, he's dogshite at this level, the fact that only Burnley were interested in him speaks volumes. Hopefully we sack him sooner rather than later.

Yep, Pérez had a big hand in our FA cup win.

I think with Brendan there must have been some clause to make it easier to sack him off if we dropped into the bottom 3. 

 

As soon as we hit the relegation zone he was fired I think.

I'd give him Ipswich game as long as he uses the same system as last week and has proven that he has been able to coach short comings (which we wouldn't have suffered from under Maresca coaching the same system) from it out of last week. 

 

If we lose then he's got to go.

Nowhere near as much credit in the bank for Cooper and circumstances around the points deduction has changed. I reckon he'll get shorter thrift than the average here, not more.

I think you’re right. Ipswich will know that we can be got at, but they too are defensively frail….. it’s going to be a masterclass in how not to defend, and who can outscore who…. I’ve just got a horrible feeling that Szmodics is going to have our pants down and leave those who said he wouldn’t be good enough with egg on our faces. 

I like Szmodics but he's had two seasons in his whole career where he's scored 15+ goals in a season, and one of them was in League One. He potentially may have scored 15+ again for Blackburn this season, as I recall he started the season well, but he's 29 and Ipswich paid a stupid amount for him. To me he was too much of a gamble.

I didn’t want us to sign him, because of those reasons. What I’m saying is it wouldn’t surprise me if he bags a hat-trick against us, just to piss us off even more. And let’s be fair, the lad will offer more than Edouard!

I can see why you'd think that, but I don't think this season is a repeat of 2022/23. Back then, we had a high quality squad (Danny Ward notwithstanding) that should never had been near to the relegation zone, but whose relationship with the manager had completely broken down, totally decimating morale. That was one of the most mentally weak Leicester teams I've ever seen. This season our squad isn't as strong and our manager is tactically limited, but his relationship with the players appears strong and morale seems good. If we go down this season, it won't be because of a lack of fight as it was in 2022/23 - it will be because of a weaker squad and a tactically limited manager. 

 

However, as others have pointed out, Cooper has significantly less credit in the bank than Rodgers did. If we lose a few games and get dragged towards the bottom three, he will be gone.

Did look handball to me. I remember hearing Kasper say he didn't celebrate the goal because he thought it would be chalked off.

Almost certainly was but what a travesty it would've been to disallow such a beautiful goal

Would have been horrible. At the time, VAR overruling goals with a handball quite far back in the build-up was pretty common.

Looks to me like came off his leg first so would never be given as handball

the midfield was too good to go down. the defence was bad enough to go down imo. having ward in goal, faes, justin/thomas and amartey is poor at this level
