Cooper is fantastic with youth players, and we’ve a couple of exciting prospects that need to be played. If he can get the best out of them, then brilliant. We're looking for an under 21 manager. Give him that job instead 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyrobot Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June When I originally heard it was Potter I was like ‘ah well, he’s very Southgate but at least he’s not fkin Cooper’ and then suddenly we are getting Cooper. It’s a very Leicester way of doing a very Leicester thing in this Top era. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll back the manager because I have to. The way Forest spent the money arguably made the squad worse to manage than when they were in the championship. How are you supposed to manage a squad when you have 40 players? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Finnegan Posted 19 June Popular Post Share Posted 19 June Just now, smudgerfox said: Absolutely astonishing response on here. Do you think we have the pick of managers worldwide? Do you think we have the luxury of waiting to identify a manager with a perfect playing style? We need a pragmatic manager. One who gets results. Enough results to get enough points to outweigh a points deduction and keep us up. He kept Forest up when they were such a basket case behind the scenes. Id have preferred Potter but he clearly thinks he’s too good for us and we have a lot to get sorted and we need it sorting asap to give us any sort of chance next season. Cooper isn’t/won’t be perfect but he’s as good as we were ever going to get. We got a better manager than this when we were in the Championship. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aus Fox Posted 19 June Popular Post Share Posted 19 June What has Potter actually done in the game to make everyone so excited by him? I’d say Cooper has a far better CV and is a better manager, but I haven’t followed either career closely. Cooper has won the U17 World Cup and got Forest from bottom of the league to winning the play offs. Not sure if Potter’s actually done anything of note. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetly Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Nothing surprises me with our club. Even appointing a new manager has become a joke. The club seems to have lost the ambition it once had. We won the league and cup so recently and now struggling to appoint a decent manager. We have become stale and maybe a change of ownership is needed now. Not much positive news from inside the club these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you supposed to manage a squad when you have 40 players? Yup, in that particular circumstance, correct. However, if we are selling and not buying at all, as has been touted on here constantly, then that's the polar opposite. I don't like either. But I'd rather have money to spend.

nettle Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June If its Cooper it just goes to show that no one else wanted it because his premier league stats with Forest are crap, he's championship level at best , what a shambles this club is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUltimateWinner Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June (edited) I'll back him, because we have to, but seriously, what the **** Reminds me of when we hired Puel... he'll have a loose backing from the fans and it wont take long until we all get a bit fed up when results dont go our way. Again, complete mismanagement from the club. We're either hiring him because we're broke and he's the cheapest option, or, the club genuinely thinks he's the right man to take us forward. I don't know what's scarier. Edited 19 June by TheUltimateWinner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s11nny Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June (edited) Cooper is completely the opposite of what the clubs vision on how they wanted to play was. Shambles Edit: actually I remember cooper stating he wanted to play more attacking football at forest but didn’t have the players to do so. Basically got battered and then realised they had to play defensively. Hardly inspiring Edited 19 June by s11nny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think it’s more the process than the personnel. Cooper could well turn out to be a success and it’s not his fault but it’s just that further confirmation that the people in charge have little plan other than hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter had a couple months of European level form with European level players (Caicedo, Mcallister) followed by a failed move to Chelsea and that's enough to make our fans think he is the second coming. We would do well to listen to Brighton and Chelsea fans when they say he is not all that he is made out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a Swedish 4th division side to the top tier and knockout stages of the Europa League in 7 seasons. I understand that, it means nothing in context with the PL but neither does winning the under 17 WC and it's DEFINITELY notable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
