The saddest thing is I'm not even arsed. Somethings changed in me this season and I no longer really care. That's not a sign I'm behind the manager or aware of the difficult challenge he and we face. Far from it, he's one of the worst PL managers that's graced this league in years but the culmination of the decisions this club has or hasn't made has made me lose so much passion and emotion.

 

I do worry if this will remain. Never ever thought I'd feel this way, anger and bitterness were always there as was elation and obsession but this is pathetic.

 

 

But that says it all @Ric Flair the fact that you feel this way is indicative of the fact we are getting things horribly wrong 

 

Cooper OUT

 

i want us to have a young exciting manager who gets us attacking teams

Seen he was asked the same question about why does every single goal we concede come down our right hand side and (just like the previous 238 times) he's said "it's something we'll have to look at".

 

Wonder what the likelihood is that Justin and Faes both start the next game.

For home games we could just water that part of the pitch to the extent that it becomes entirely unplayable. Will be quite the leveller when its 3 feet underwater. Also we can pre-warn JJ so he can wear a wetsuit.

’The game was mostly even’

 

Stop faffing and sack him. Cretin. 

He's right it was eleven a side!

Yep, I empathise with this absolutely.

I love my club but I've lost the will to watch us.  I really lost interest, I don't know whether I can be arsed to go to games anymore.

I still look forward to taking my boy to games when I can but without that and the podcast I'd be done I'm convinced of it. Absolutely scandalous.

If you're in the same position as me i'm afraid it does remain, I experienced it under Rodgers and passion and desire is still at a loss. I want to care but it's not in me anymore.

[Wymsey]

Top needs to be more accountable.

 

But if Top was even going to defend him, you'd thought he would've done so recently..

I couldn’t agree more Ric, I don’t blame Cooper I blame the decision making of this totally inept board. I actually think they will delighted with how it’s going currently. I remember Vichai saying we will be in the top 4 with in 5 years, this lot don’t show any ambition what so ever. We used to hear that the aim was to be in Europe on regular basis now there’s nothing.

I’d love ask Top who was made accountable on the board for the most ridiculous relegation I can ever.

[AKCJ]

Just incase anyone forgot.

 

Nottingham Forest - the club we claim are our biggest rivals - came here two weeks ago, dropped 3 goals on his head and their fans were chanting about how much Steve Cooper hates Leicester. For about half an hour.

 

I don't think people gave that enough attention. He is not fit for purpose. He was a ****ing ridiculous appointment. Get the cvnt gone. 

[Raj]

No idea.

No plan.

Standing there like a clown.

Inept substitutes.

No creativity.

I would rather go down fighting than with this fecking John Major of football.

[Gazza M]

I think the bigger picture is time for King Power to move on. 

[Nolucklcfc]

That was a typical performance of a bunch of players with zero belief in anything they’ve been told.

They won't do, with the stadium expansion and some new hotel nearby being planned by them.

Top goes racing more than to the KP or seagrave 

 

he has lost interest 

[Noahfence]

I’ve just started turning off now. Never used to do it but today I switched on the Spurs Ipswich game instead. 
 

I’m not letting Steve Cooper ruin my moods. 

[FrankieADZ]

also when people say this team isnt good enough, I'd say this team is probably better than the one that stayed up in 14/15

 

after last season you think the club might be getting their ducks in a row but takes one bad appointment to totally rip anything up

I do wonder whos idea it was to appoint Cooper and why does said managers we get(prem wise) have to have prem experience

look at Brighton ffs

 

i dont hate cooper as a person but as a manager by god i hate him a

and frankly Ill puel is better than him

Ain’t defending him Bozo. Just pointing out the shallow predictably of shallow thinkers

So let me get this straight, you aren't defending him but you ARE criticising those who want him gone? Care to explain to those imbeciles why they are wrong? 

[splinterdream]

i think for some of us, we grew up watching the City, with hopes such as getting in the play-offs, winning a cup game against a top 6 club, then we had MON but it always felt our success was very fragile, and so it was.

In recent years we have lived the dream, but our fall was so hard, i'd imagaine a fair few of us have fan fatigue and right now theres very little on the pitch, on the sidelines or in the squad to get excited about, especially when you've goto to pay £50+ to watch it

Same, gluten for punishment. I even stayed in to watch after seeing Soumare play. 

But on 40 minutes I got my bike out and went for a ride. 

 

We need to get rid of this clown 

[Lcfc-1992]

First time today I had little interest in watching, even with Rodgers I’d look forward to games and be gutted if we lost.
 

Sad to read there’s others feeling similar, hopefully the club make a change soon and take a chance on a manager with some potential. 

[cropstonfox]

I'm not a big fan of Cooper but back people in all fairness.

Yes he has pedigree with England and Liverpool and Forest. But he lacks leadership Charisma and does not inspire confidence. 

So realistically if the board care about the club, then we need to .excuse the clique 

Back him or sack him.If we back him ,then it's with signings in January. If not then a new manager needs to be installed now. 

He can then have time to assess and rebuild in January 

I still get a feeling that the Forest connection along with  the physical unattractiveness influence a lot of options on those forum.

Nevertheless let's back him or sack him!

It's hard to be excited for the future while watching us slowly regress with seemingly no real plan or vision for the club in the medium/long term.

Only punishment if you're intolerant/sensitive to it.

 

I find gluten to be delicious.

[Vowels]

You might even called me gluten glutton.

Coaches contracts aren’t like players (unless you’re Lcfc and rodgers) 

 

likely that he had twelve months on full pay post sacking before that drops significantly for the remainder or even disappears completely 

Employment law still applies to a manager contract. In that if you want to end it early, you’ll pay the PILON (usually 3 months in everyday life) but then agree a settlement figure for the employee to waive their employment rights.

 

In every day life, you’re usually dealing with substantially lower figures but also an employee who doesn’t see the benefit of proceeding with a tribunal - therefore you get the settlement in at 3 months further pay (usually I say) and that’s if there isn’t a bonus, discrimination etc. claim,

 

In football contracts, when applying the same logic, you instead do have people who can take you town and tie you up for months. It’s very likely in the Rodgers scenario we asked very early on what he wanted to “waive” the rights and the figure was incredibly high. He also had (something which is rare in football management) over two years service. That means he could claim unfair, wrongful and other employment claims. So from a purely leverage position, Rodgers held all the cards.

 

Cooper has less than 2 years and purely from an employment perspective doesn’t have that security as Rodgers did, he will have a PILON and we could just pay it. It’s basically his notice period (not sure what that would be but as said, in every day life, it’s 3 months). Now, in some instances, managers of less than two years still have a largish pay off because the PILON is 12 months notice and are placed on gardening leave with settlement following after conclusion (see Potter and Chelsea). Football employment contracts due have a unique “settlement clause” trigger which is effectively the club acquiring the manager and paying off the other club to release them from the notice period and restrictive covenants. 
 

Basically what I’m saying is Cooper has nothing going for him in the way Rodgers did. It’s like you said a maximum of 12 months (as any notice period over that would be excessive). If we don’t sack him, there’s no excuse from the club.
