No, it very much is. We've seen that this squad have zero professionalism and will undermine managers for demanding anything of them.

Well, I've just told you that isn't the case. They followed last season's manager to the absolute letter. 

 

It's about your mate the Dutchman. The players can be led, if the leader actually knows their craft.

You referring to him as the Dutchman will always be funny but also quite weird to me hahaha

you've been wrong and doubled down on it. 

 

"my mate the Dutchman", because of course saying he's crap but the problem with the club runs much deeper than who the manager is is being buddy buddy with him... fact of the matter is we've got a squad with delusional ideas of their own abilities and who are too friendly with the chairman. Much as I think Cooper is crap, we literally saw how the players just wouldn't play for a manager unless they like his tactics.

They didn’t. Hamza says hello with his drunk driving and Coady with his behind the scenes antics cos Nelson got picked over him.
 

The players having an internal meeting because Enzo around the time of the Plymouth completely lost his bonce. Training was boring to a lot of them and it wasn’t the happy family they tried to make out come May last yesr 

[HarryDee8]

Must be his last game if he loses the next one

[ozvaldo]

We will lose. But it won’t be his last game. 
Our board are too incompetent to move him on. 
 

[Tielemans63]

I rarely ever claim to be ITK (because I'm not ), but I'm out with someone who knows Sean Dyche personally and he has already offered his services to LCFC if we ditch RVN. Apparently he's extremely interested in being our next manager.

[Claridge]

Replacing Cooper an experienced manager with someone with no experience will go down as the most stupid thing this club has done in years and there have been many

[MonarchFox]

I think the Wolves result today has pretty much relegated us.

 

I can't stand RVN and want him gone but I'd rather keep him so we can get someone decent in for the summer and the championship

Appointing Cooper in the first place was equally stupid. 

[Samilktray]

The worst thing about how crap RVN is, is constantly now being reminded that Steven Cooper managed this football club for a period of time. It’s put me right off my dinner thinking about it

I still think Cooper would have given us a slim chance and kept us in touching distance of Wolves 

It was always going to be a mini league of 4 clubs but RVN has completely screwed it.

I didn’t rate him but he had us scoring and would defo of fluked more pts than the Dutch halfwit imo 

[Corky]

Just go and attack. We are going down with no hint of entertainment right now which is criminal.

I’m sorry but this seems to crop up on here with those comments ignoring that the rot started under Cooper, he lost 4 of his last 5.

 

With the other result being against a 10 man Ipswich.

 

The players downed tools and weren’t having Cooper, I know that’s a whole different story.

 

Cooper from day one was a horrible appointment, like RVN also has been.

[Stadt]

Cooper had a dogshit PPG at Forest, when it looked like we might have a deduction coming it was an even worse appointment because he’s so negative.

 

The board’s usual lazy managerial recruitment costed us in the summer and the same lazy recruitment confirmed relegation with RVN.

Absolutely spot on.

 

I know it’s the in favour thing to do by mentioning Brighton and Bournemouth BUT I can confidently say that Top/Rudkin don’t take a punt on Hurzeler or Iraola.

 

Lazy, stale and out of their depth sums up our board/current senior leadership structure.

In 15 years under KP we’ve appointed a manger employed by another club TWICE and one of them was Pearson.

 

Just pure laziness, never have we appointed a manager that hasn’t already worked in England. It’s completely myopic.

[RedSoxUK]

The Dutchman has got to go. He clearly can't hack it in the PL so why give him a chance in the Championship when the objective is to get back in the Premier League.

 

Surely it's better to get someone in now or at least 'from June' so we can plan properly.

Kinda irrelevant really he kept them up regardless and you can argue with better competition

I’d actually be more annoyed if we pulled the trigger now, literally have waited until there’s no chance.

[LE3_Fox]

He's clearly planning for championship football next year. Building relationships with key players like Fatawu and bringing through new talent.

How is it irrelevant? If you’re looking to stay up appointing somebody with 52 points from 55 games is huge gamble. Particularly when it looked like we’d have to win more games than usual owing to a potential deduction.

 

He’s a crap PL manager with a record akin to Steve Kean’s and his recruitment has set us back years. It was all fairly predictable.

If he replicated 52 points from 55 games we’d have stayed up

And he was at 0.82 ppg with us, there’s a razor thin margin for him to replicate what he did at Forest with us - and he couldn’t do it. All with a squad built to play a totally different style of play too.

 

He’s a crap manager.

We’re effectively playing the style this club was “built” for and we’ve been totally disastrous since. He took a side bottom of championship and built the foundations for a side now likely to make champions league, he clearly not a crap manager.
