Babylon Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 2 minutes ago, SixtiesFox said: Choosing the right coach is certainly a bit of a lottery and Cooper might well turn out to be our saviour next season. It is the lack of a clear plan that worries me. We have just done a 180 overnight. It doen't inspire much confidence and that goes for us fans and probably the players too. It’s only a 180 if we don’t play like that. Perhaps he’s come in and said that’s how he wants to play, given the reasons for not doing that way at Forest in the prem (I keep repeating it but he’s said numerous times it’s the way he wants to play). They’ve had the same MO since Puel, so I’m not sure it’s going to be put in the bin. Especially in the back of a successful season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pliskin Posted 19 June Popular Post Share Posted 19 June In the last ten years we’ve won the PL, completed against Atletico Madrid in the champions league…… finished in the top 6 twice, played Roma in a European semi final… won the FA cup, and have taken all of the “big six” to the cleaners at least once……. We’ve just appointed a manager who got sacked from a rival who’ve achieved a whopping 70 points over two seasons….. if this isn’t an indication of how far this club has fallen I’ll never know……. It’s tragic. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Here’s what’s going to happen. We hire Cooper because Potter is holding on for the England job. Southgate earns a surprise new contract. We are given a 15 point deduction which we get reduced to 7 for good behaviour. Cooper comes out the blocks and immediately secures 3 wins out of the first 6. Everyone is happy. He loses the next 8 in a row. We sack him and his staff for £5m after he wins another then loses the next three. We finally hire Potter half way through the season when we’re bottom of the league. Another Rudkin masterclass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 19 June Popular Post Share Posted 19 June 7 minutes ago, Mickyblueeyes said: Incredible that it’s taken us so many weeks to hire a man who was unemployed, lived in the area and had minimum interest elsewhere. Even more incredible that the “difficulty” around Potter was related to his time at Chelsea yet there was no attempt to negotiate with them despite them paying a very large sum to take our existing manager. And the man who had such difficulty being a target of the club twice in the last 18 months. But yeah, Top and co rule. Just another blip this. Quite clearly shows he was the back up choice. What's deeply concerning is there weren't other alternatives to Potter before we resorted to Cooper. I'm less concerned with Cooper's track record than I am the decision making of this club and the future. The appointment of Maresca seemed brave amidst huge pressure and disarray. The way we were being led further came under scrutiny with the financial problems but despite that the vision they had under Enzo maintained a certain standard, putting to one side the concerns in how practical that might be going forward. This appointment just seems ill thought out / bordering on desperation. Maybe the way our club has acted has finally caught up with them. Either way it's concerning. It feels a step back to an ownership and board that I think should consider their futures here. I hope it turns out to be inspired or at the very least a little fortuitous and we benefit from this. Wouldn't be the first time in football. I'm pinning my hopes on his desire to invest his confidence in the 3-4 talented academy players on the cusp of the 1st team amongst others. Other than that I glean no positivity for next season or for my football club in general, it's the lowest ebb. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Fresh Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 15 minutes ago, ForestAreMagic said: You’re right that our crowd played a massive part in keeping us up, and Cooper did everything to crank us up. It was a love affair - from the Paul Smith clobber; to the constant complements about the city; to saying our ground ‘oozed football soul’; to the fist pumps as we sang our song to him (which, awkwardly, insulted Leicester) He’s got lots of qualities (adaptable, good with youth, good diplomat, plays good football if he’s got the players..). It will be interesting to see if the Forest baggage holds him back, with him being a hero for us so recently. Presumably you’ll forgive him if he starts well. He might need to say ‘Forest are &@“£ers for sacking me and I want revenge’. Why are Forest insulting Leicester in songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
