Buzzell Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June I’m glad we’ve moved on from Potter. He’s messed us about twice now. If it’s Cooper coming in then we should give him a chance. He did brilliantly for Forest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Two new players ready to sign just makes me think we didnt want potter, what if Cooper doesn’t want them if that’s not the case. The club is so far from what it was 3/4 seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Alan Tate, Steven Rands and Steven Reid were on his staff at Forest, only Tate is out of work and Rands and Reid are still at Forest - interested to see if either follow Cooper here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoareyaaa Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 6 minutes ago, RedSoxUK said: To be fair, If he's coming in I can see it being under a directive of "possession based football", he is adaptable and changes formations a lot. He'll have to use the players he's got, abandoning last year's spine of Mads, Vestergaard, Winks is just unlikely. Cooper is also more likely to blend in youth and be active with the academy, which we want. If we want to stay in the league then bringing through academy players is not going to work, we’ll get smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can integrate a couple of academy players if the nucleus of the squad is good enough. Ours isn't a premier league squad (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/simon-jordan-spot-on-chelsea-9353934 Simon Jordan ‘spot on’ as Chelsea clause cited as Leicester City and Graham Potter deal breaker In little over 12 hours Leicester City's search for a new manager has taken a dramatic turn ByJames Quinlan 13:12, 19 JUN 2024 Simon Jordan has speculated about why Graham Potter may have hesitated over the Leicester City job. Two candidates were named as nailed-on favourites for the vacant post in quick succession on Wednesday. First, it was former Brighton and Chelsea coach Potter, said to be the frontrunner after positive discussions with the club's hierarchy. But then The Telegraph reported Steve Cooper's imminent appointment, that now appears most likely. READ MORE: The cost effective Leicester City transfer link and the reality about Adrien Truffert READ MORE: Leicester City key fixture dates with Enzo Maresca Chelsea reunion and Nottingham Forest derby Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan said: "I don’t know whether he (Potter) wanted to ruminate or whether there was a bigger horse trade going on, or whether he’s playing hide and seek with himself. But the culture of certain ownership models are that when they offer you a job and you think you’ve agreed something they expect you to do it. "Whether he’s sort of fiddle farted about and they’ve gone ‘well, hang on a second we don’t think you’re showing the prerequisite amount of enthusiasm for the job’ and they go with Cooper, or whether we’re working with misinformation that’s not entirely accurate." He was speaking alongside former Premier League manager Alan Pardew, who posed the question: "The other thing that could be holding this up is just a clause, like a get out clause, a termination clause, a clause for signing players, who knows?" “Or a mitigation clause because if Chelsea are having to pay him up on his contract and he’s on a million pound a month or whatever obscene figure he’s on for being a bloody football manager there may well be a consequence of taking another job," Jordan replied. "That consequence may well be that Chelsea get to mitigate some of those costs and all of a sudden the difference between what he’s getting for sitting on his backside and doing nothing against what he’s going to be getting for managing a football team might not be economically as beneficial for him. "I hope that’s not the reason because that shouldn’t be the reason because you should want to be back in as a football manager." Pardew labelled his co-pundit "spot on", adding: “I think Simon is probably spot on in terms of you know, what is this relationship with Chelsea still? How does that pan out in terms of his contract situation? It might be complicated beyond our belief. That might be an issue.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l444ry Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Judging Cooper's historical track record on the basis of two thirds of one season in the Premier League with a Club hardly likely to pull up any trees is a bit daft to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can forget any decent signings coming in and probably more outgoings, if Cooper is appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
