AKCJ Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June If we're going to just chuck this season away again then at least take a punt on someone exciting like we did last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Fox Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Waiting for Gary to say "Cooper, really?". Then we can go and take the title even with a 15 point deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 1 minute ago, Lambert09 said: for me it’s not even about the pedigree of cooper but it’s the complete switch in direction from the club. I understand doing this when things are going badly but after winning promotion to suddenly switch playing styles is just odd. I just expected someone who had a very similar philosophy to enzo to be coming. I’ll get behind whoever is in charge until they lose that respect but the decision making feels like a circus again Do we actually know what his style is? He played intricate passing stuff with England and Swansea (you don't get a choice at Swansea!). Forest played some good stuff at times too. In reality it went to pot in the Prem with all the signings and owner control, at which point he went into survival mode and the football looked a bit grim. I'm pretty sure his preference is possession based attacking football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranieri had managed Chelsea and other European clubs. Sure there was some trepidation but nothing as underwhelming as Cooper Also Pearson was hugely popular with the fans so there was understandable concerns Edited 19 June by foxfanazer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Willing to give him a chance. Problem is with the forest connection if he doesn’t hit the ground running things will get very toxic very fast. Fingers crossed a few wins in the first month to ease any tension. Yeah he’s an underwhelming appointment but who could we realistically get given our abysmal position financially and with the points deduction? Gotta just go with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Ok so..... Postives: Braybrook and Alves may break into the first team and do well under Cooper, Top's wife won't have a crush on him, he may (or may not) hate Forest. Negatives: It's bloody Steve Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June The Ranieri comparison doesn’t work here. He inherited a club on the up, the foundations were set and the chemistry among the players at that time were unlike we’ve seen before or since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestan Pance Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June (edited) If it is to be Steve Cooper then I'm willing to give him a chance. Anyone who was at F#rest that horrible day will have seen how he set up a Championship side to wipe the floor with us. We are hardly a big draw ATM, so we have to take a gamble on someone. I'm fully aware of his win% record and this could fail miserably but he's shown enough to be given another chance, hopefully in better circumstances than he had at F*rest.

Popular Post Ricey Posted 19 June Popular Post Share Posted 19 June Apparently we have a clear vision, but in just over a year we have appointed, or very nearly appointed: - Jesse Marsch - Rafa Benetiz - Dean Smith - Enzo Maresca - Graham Potter - Steve Cooper You'd struggle to get a more eclectic mix of football philosophies. It's a scattergun approach. Top wants us to play like Man City and god knows what Rudkin wants. It's why our recruitment so often doesn't match the system or style that we are using at that time. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
