Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 19 June Popular Post Share Posted 19 June 6 hours ago, Chocolate Teapot said: I'd love to understand the long term strategy of the club. Time for new ownership I think. They're winging it and it's obvious. There's no planning. Just winging it and praying for the best. The lot of them are utterly clueless. This ownership at this point has not a single redeeming feature for me. Not one. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So relax and enjoy the ride…. Never forget when he wanted to appoint Scott Parker and now Cooper , he is simply not a DoF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gubbins Posted 19 June Popular Post Share Posted 19 June We're finishing bottom 5 no matter who is in charge but I'm more optimistic we can survive with Cooper than either maresca or potter. Defensive solidity and swift counter attacks is how we can survive this season. The style the other 2 play, Enzoball aka Rodgersball aka pissession aka the horseshoe of doom, used against teams with better players than us will just send us down. Itl also continue to frustrate and bore the hell out of the non football hipster amongst us. I'm def giving Cooper a chance. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowest number of shots on goal, the worse forward passes, the worse crosses into the box, the worse possession stats etc etc This appointment beggars belief and is made from a desperate club which has no sense of ambition or sense of itself 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Hard to desipher exactly what @LinekersLugs is trying to say but... - Top wanted Potter - Rudkin wanted Cooper (because he assumed that would give him more control) - Potter wanted his own head of recruitment/potentially even his own DOF? - Cooper actually wants more control than Rudkin was expecting - Rudkin is now having to agree to those terms with Cooper as the alternative is Potter and probably being eased out of his own job? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June The club trying to claim that there’s some sort of long term vision is just obviously horse shit when we employ someone like Cooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is almost exactly how I see this but I struggle to get behind him with his connection to Forest. Early days but feels to me very similar to Everton appointing Benitez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 1 minute ago, whoareyaaa said: He was lucky imo Forest's luck was absurd in their first season up. Played every big club when they were out of form and all of their relegation rivals were out of form at the same time as they were. Cooper had better bring the genies he had when he was at Notts Forest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaphamFox Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 4 minutes ago, SecretPro said: Do you know that we have the £4m to pay the release clause? I do. But I'm willing to bet that our net transfer spend this summer will significantly exceed £4m, and I'd happily trade £4m off our outlay on players if it meant getting a better manager in. It has also been reported that we'd be happy to spend £4m on Corberan if Cooper turned us down, so it appears it isn't as big a factor as some people are assuming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Just praying that this news about Cooper is Preki Mark 2 and is a smokescreen for our real managerial target. Surely we can't be appointing Cooper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June It all really depends on our financial position and what those running the club really expect. Potter would suggest some spending and a bit of optimism. Cooper would suggest little spending and no optimism at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangecity23 Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Forest Cooper had the benefit of only needing to finish ahead of Leeds, Southampton and Rodgers self immolating Danny Ward no 1 Leicester City, with a plethora of expensive signings, plus 3 points gifted to him at the City Ground by us. Here, he'll have sod all signings, at least 1 points deduction and not have the benefit of a car crash Leicester to finish above, because this time he's belted into the Ruddler's Volvo with the rest of us as he steers us straight off the Prem motorway down the embankment into the SkyBet for the next decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June We need a change - the change has to be Rudkin - clearly he only wants to look out for himself and we need someone who will care what happens to the club. SACK RUDKIN! need a full blown protest at the first game in some way. This is the time, enough if enough, RUDKIN OUT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox766 Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Can't wait for Maresca to be sacked by Chelsea by around Feb/March time and us thinking how we dodged a bullet. Then us having a far better season than we expected with Cooper. Ok this won't happen but how we can dream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Potter would've been a disaster. His heart just isn't in it. He's quite happy cashing his cheques from Boehly and getting up at midday to watch Loose Women and Bargain Hunt. Cooper may also be a disaster, but at least he'll give the job everything he's got. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
