MattFox Posted 7 October 2022 Share Posted 7 October 2022 Just think of all that money Forza Garibaldi have spent getting a tifo printed begging Cooper to stay All down the drain now 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it will have had a huge impact. Beale knows his stuff. 10 minutes ago, Fox92 said: Gerrard actually said, something along the lines of, it would take him "years" to become a good as Beale is as a coach. Beale currently sitting nicely in the Championship play offs. Obviously rated well as a coach, and now doing okay so far as a manager. Not to be flippant (as I know you're not talking Beale down here), but I'd say sitting nicely in the Championship playoffs within your first 6 months of being a football manager is pretty damn impressive 😁. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to adapt to the premier league and harder still when you’re also trying to bed in 21 new players at once. Ultimately it might not work but it should at least put an end to the speculation about his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a midfielder at CB against us when he had plenty of other CB options, and that left him with a weak two man midfield completely exposed to our 3 and let Madders essentially float around in acres of space There was a hell of a lot of issues with his tactics on Monday, bedding in players or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah could be an issue if that happens but They was singing his name at our game when they was 3-0 down so seems they are happy with him for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably weren’t on Twitter demanding Cooper must go either . Almost a good PR move by the owners to not sack a popular manager the fans could relate to. Probably saving money on any compensation payout so they can buy another 11 players in January! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear Of The Fox Posted 7 October 2022 Share Posted 7 October 2022 Jokes aside, this is a bizarre move by Marinakis. Observations: - Cooper has failed until now to utilise the 20+ new players he (?) brought in. - Even with the common excuses like "it's too difficult to create a proper working team with so many new arrivals", Cooper is clearly out of his depth. - If the players heads are not yet down, the dressing room will be lost soon. Good luck going to Championship with the same players and same manager that will probably be battered every week for the next 8 months. Marinakis is trying to buy time and please the Forest fanbase because he doesn't want them to turn against him like it's happening now at Olympiakos after another humiliation they had last night vs Qarabag at home. An overweight by at least 10kg Marcelo featured there and the Olympiakos fans are going rampage against Marinakis today. Forest fans are deluded. They have been emotionally attached to Cooper because he got them promoted. Guess what lads, football is business and about making the right decisions at the right time. Ask Ranieri.

RowlattsFox Posted 7 October 2022 Share Posted 7 October 2022 Bit weird that managers have been sacked yet the 2 worst sides so far have stuck with their managers, for now. Bit of a brave decision really because if things don't improve I'm sure they will sack him, maybe there is a clause in there somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a full manager contract prepared and signed the time Forest has 99.99% probability to go down. New contract now means that if he's sacked he's getting more money.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 7 October 2022 Share Posted 7 October 2022 Had Cooper got the sack it would have been very harsh, given what he has done at the club, they have come up too soon for sure. So good to see he was handed a new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So good to see he was handed a new contract I can't understand this approach. Yes they have come up too soon. Does this mean they have to go down right away without a fight? If they go down they'll be in a worse position than the season they went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestAreMagic Posted 7 October 2022 Share Posted 7 October 2022 If we stay up great. But the question that matters is ‘who will get us promoted next year’. There is some PR about this I agree. The owners would face mutiny if they’d sacked him. The fans saved his job. Cooper deserves his chance after what he’s done for us. If that makes us ‘deluded’, I’m happy to be deluded. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand that they can't sack him this season, don't you? He's just signed a new contract while being bottom of the table. He can't get the sack later this season for being bottom of the table. It's like the Titanic. They'll sink happily together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly loans again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets the sack in Christmas or February the Forest fans will surely turn against the owner though. Rightfully so in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
