Seventyseven Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May I really hope it isn’t Cooper. i know the forest fans found it hard to let him go, but that’s more because he got them up after two decades out the top flight. A championship manager, not for me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, he was sacked by Forest, he's done nothing in his managerial career and I'd rather watch paint dry than have this fraud as a manager. You make it sound like we are doomed financially, on a brink of full collapse or whatever. If this is the case why on earth the board decided it was a good time to get promoted?

The Enzo money is extra money that we weren’t expecting so surely we could pay Corberans buyout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernpark Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May I don’t want Cooper but I rate his work during the first season in the Premier League. He did well to keep Forest up after we beat them 4-0, it shows something at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May We've always wanted a manager with a plan B.... get Cooper and we'll have a manager with a plan A to Z!!! Never seen so many different formations used by one bloke! Not sure he has any sort of identity/style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The compensation would be spread over 3 years anyway (what we'd probably give the manager). I've read the compensation is £2m, which is less than £700k in 2023/24 accounts and we'll get all of Enzo's and staffs compensation in this year's accounts.

Corberan would be a much better option. Reims has other issues within the club. Will Still wanted more control in signings as he's also a good scout for talents. There are more things you don't know behind his "sacking". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May Cooper appointment shows that purely a cost cut. Unlike the others being linked hes probably the cheapest. Worst on the list? Erm... no think theres worse but not the most inspiring. The only thing you can say hes not suffered relegation from the Premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the Forest link and a risky football idealism, but he'll have something to prove after his Forest stint plus no compensation to pay for the services. Thing is you can’t criticise him really. He did well at both Swansea and Forest, and was Forest really a blot on his copy book? He was basically given 40 off players to work with, none of which he wanted and somehow kept Forest up “despite them being shite” and Nuno has arguably done no better. I guess it’s just not remotely sexy, but then again, is it even sensible? There’s question marks over him, but when isn’t there question marks over any manager? I think he’d turn out better than a lot of people think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
