He had to deal with players like Danilo, Felipe and let's not forgot 3x champions league winner Navas. True miracle. What manager would want that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 6 minutes ago, bald reynard said: Interesting that Sky are reporting that Cooper has agreed a deal to become HEAD COACH, not Manager. Is that significant - are we looking to appoint a (new) Director of Football, to oversee the Head Coach. A 'redesignation' for Rudkin - surely nothing else?! Sky/Kaveh bloke said Enzo was our head coach not Manager and that was wrong so 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they knew Potter’s Chelsea compensation with our finances might be a big stumbling block but once again produce such an unimaginative short list…..managers exist outside of the ones who have managed in England 🤬🤬 Edited 19 June by SafewayFox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why doesn't Top just sack Rudkin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should probably be thankful that Cooper was daft/desperate enough to take a job that few others would have touched. God knows what the players must be thinking with these clowns in charge. Thing is, I respect your opinion. But, those same idiots got it right with pretty much every single managerial appointment over the last 10 years. Maybe you could make an argument against Puel and I’m not including Dean Smith in that due to it being such a short reign. Our signings have been largely hit and miss. But our managerial recruitment has been pretty spot on… Don’t get me wrong, I wanted Potter. But I’m not as anti Cooper as so many seem to be.

Haywood_6 Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Feels like a bit of a disappointment when compared to Potter. At the same time, I quite like him as a person. If he keeps us up at Forest's expense he'll be a hero but it's hard to see him lasting the season. I've said it before - fans aren't going to be behind him and that's not what we need when we're already starting from the pit lane next season. Some of his stats from Forest 22/23 season are horrific - he was averaging 1 away win a year. 1 AWAY WIN A YEAR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelmofox Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Just now, AjcW said: That’s the piece of the puzzle we may never understand Do Rudkin / Top have a special deal where they take it in turns to decide the next Manager.

Even now the forum is full of posters that don't get the Enzo appointment and think we were just going to get done 1-0 on the counter every week, even against the top 6.
