Chelmofox Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January 10 minutes ago, weller54 said: Totally agree!!! Getting promoted and being back in the circus that is the PL is going to be very bittersweet. Lately i have gone full circle on this. Pissing the league (so far) has had its upsides, but i would like to get back to watching the best players come to the KP. Literally have no idea who the majority of the players im watching are. I know if we get this over the line that next season is going to be a very difficult year, but I want to see our players have to break a sweat against some top talent, rather than watching Vesty walk the ball to the half way line because a second rate attacker is caking himself. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January Cooper would be daft to take this job, considering where Birmingham are. I think there's better jobs available. I don't know if Birmingham are offering a decent wage to lure him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owners will want to put their mark on the club and probably will spend money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear Of The Fox Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January It looks like Cooper doesn't have any confidence or ambition. Why take a job there? Is it just money? Unlikely, unless the wages are really really high which I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January Someone like Tony Mowbray or our Nige would be a solid appointment for Birmingham, both would lay some very solid foundations for anyone else Birmingham would get in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 2 January Share Posted 2 January Isn’t Cooper supposedly in line for the Palace job should Hodgson get sacked or retire? Doubt he’ll go to a binfire like Brum instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely, unless the wages are really really high which I doubt. I’m not sure Cooper gets a shot at anything more attractive to be honest. I know there’s rumours linking him to Palace - but that jobs not vacant yet and could be a poisoned chalice. At least with Birmingham there’s money and ambition, plus a reasonably low and achievable bar in terms of expectations to start with. It’s also a job close to where he’s based… although the downside of that is it’s still Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for Rooney of all people. Money talks but they look like a shambles at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve gone for the big name which hasn’t worked. Cooper’s got the track record of turning a club around. Let’s not forget this same squad of Birmingham players were in and around the playoffs until their hierarchy had a brain fart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if Cooper is rated high as a manager. If this is the case he can wait for some other jobs to become available in PL (Newcastle, ManUtd, Chelsea). A lot of stupid owners around to offer jobs.

That's a fair point - apart from Palace there's no signs of any of the lower Prem sides making a change now or any of last year's relegated teams/top championship teams either. If he's keen to keep working then Brum are a team with potential and Cooper knows this division well. He'll probably see it as a decent challenge.
