CosbehFox Posted 6 June Share Posted 6 June I think the perspective here is massive. You have a lot of unknowns at LCFC currently - appointing a manager perceived whose on his way down and salvaging his reparation rather than a manager on his way up, trying to build it just isn't a good luck.

Seventyseven Posted 6 June Share Posted 6 June (edited) 21 minutes ago, kingfox said: Cooper would be a could be worse, could be better, type of appointment. But I find it very disappointing how some fans completely disregard his success of developing youth. Look at the calibre of players he’s played a part in developing over the years. Sterling, Alexander-Arnold, Guehi, Foden, Hudson-Odoi, Sancho, Smith Rowe, Angel Gomes, Gibbs-White, Gallagher, Harwood-Bellis, Madueke, Rogers, Trafford, Palmer, Rodon, Spence, Garner, Johnson. If it is to be Cooper, then I hope we back him by getting a cluster of British talent through the door, so we can potentially have something to look forward to for the present and future of Leicester City. He’s not going to be developing young talent. Most of those are from his England youth coaching days, of course he’s going to have some footprint on them due to his job but he’s not developing anyone here. in fact in the Prem he was reluctant to play younger ones (apart from Johnson who couldn’t be ignored). Hudson Odoi and Neco Williams only got played and decent after he left. this is just a cheap option, I can’t see it ending well at all. His football at forest was terrible and just two away wins ever in the PL says a lot. Edited 6 June by Seventyseven 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claridge Posted 6 June Share Posted 6 June I think he will be a great appointment, did a good job with Forest under awful circumstances. Would of kept our squad up in 2023 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelmofox Posted 6 June Share Posted 6 June 5 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: I wouldn't worry, we have the most passive and pathetic match going fan base in regards to tolerating under performance on and off the field. We have a fan base that literally let Brendan set fire to the club because they considered him elite and thus we were 'lucky to have him', and then almost vehemently hated Enzo because we didn't smash all Championship records. I'm not buying that it was due to Enzo's interviews - Brendan slated the club and the owners and our fans sat there and took it because of who he was. We are a fan base that would be ok with Moyes being bottom of the table because he's a 'safe pair of hands' and once managed Man U, but Cooper would be given a few games before we went all Enzo on him. For our fan base, Cooper is a massive risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to me that you would hold talks to make sure you're largely on the same page as each other before then going away to make a final decision.

You need to let your friend build self confidence and start doing things for himself. He's never gonna be independent if you do everything for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lcfc278 Posted 6 June Popular Post Share Posted 6 June If it is Cooper I think as a fan base we need to get behind him (same counts for whoever it is tbh) and we need to build a kind of siege mentality next season. Starting with restrictions and a points deduction, it is going to be a tough season. If we're at the manager before he's even walked in the door we've got no chance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 6 June Share Posted 6 June 23 minutes ago, Jobyfox said: I think this is precisely what worries me. In some ways it shouldn’t matter, but it probably will make a difference. We, like most football clubs, have a very fickle fan base, but usually a manager would be afforded a short grace period. If this starts badly, however, I could see many becoming very negative, very quickly. This is the same fanbase that applauded Rodgers and the players for taking us down We’ll do nish.

You say that as if it’s some kind of certainty, which of course it isn’t. Just look at some of the players he had at Swansea and Forest in the Championship. He got a tune out of Rhian Brewster, Djed Spence and James Garner who played their best football under him. If he does come in, I’d want to see him backed in a certain manner. Numerous squad changes are going to be inevitable, I’d want to see a cluster of British talent come through the door, similar to how he operated at Swansea. If he comes in and our recruitment is wishy-washy, then I think he’s destined to fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the staff he's worked with in the past are in jobs. And the club are only speaking to one candidate, for one of the most crucial appointments in years. Is that the long and short of it? Christ.

His reputation is on the down - not his age By comparison, Corberan looks more attractive has we don't know if he would work in the Premier League. His reputation is on the up after a good season with WBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 6 June Share Posted 6 June Get behind him. I can look past the Forest connection. It's not like he's coming directly from there or that he's been there several years and suddenly jumping ship. In any case, turned out alright with Morgan who did fill that criteria. If he can keep us up despite the points deductions and squad perhaps being weakened then so be it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
