Are you happy with Steve Cooper being appointed (as looks likely)?

[Tuna]

The thread seems very negative, lets see the broader opinion on Foxestalk

[StanSP]

Not but we can't do much. Will give him my backing and give him some time. 

 

My frustration lies more with the hierarchy who seem to consistently think of new ways to fail us as fans these days. 

[ozvaldo]

no one can be happy with this.
We've spent a year working on a progressive style of play.  Look at what Enzo did to players like Ricardo, Vesty and Wilf.  

 

You can't go from that, to then bring in Steve Cooper.  

This is an absolute car crash.

[foxfanazer]

No. Not his fault. The focus when this inevitably goes tits up should be solely on Top, Rudkin and Whelan. Want them gone

[Tuna]

Should really have made the poll more nuanced with no but it's the best we can do or just happy we've got a manager.

 

I voted yes, because I'm happy we've got something sorted.

[Nolucklcfc]

Wouldn’t be my first choice but it is what it is. He’s not as bad as folk on here are making out. Will get my full backing. 

[Craig]

Nope, but that's not his fault and I think he'll give it a good shot. 

[AKCJ]

No.

 

I think he's the cheap option.

I think he's the easy option to get rid of when it goes tits up.

I think he's the option that's miles down the list of preferred candidates.

I think the Forest ties will be baggage that we can't afford.

I think the he starts with the impossible task of having to win fans over as well as the points deduction.

I think his style of play is a total contrast to what we were told the club wants and how we've played the last 12 months.

I think the players we have will not fit his style of play.

 

I have nothing against the bloke and I wish him well. I just think we're going to start the season horribly and we'll be sacking him by October because I do not see him succeeding and I do not see the club wanting to make someone like him at the heart of the rebuild we desperately need. This is a short term cheap signing until we go down.

 

Signing Steve Cooper just proves the board doesn't have the slightest idea what they want or what they're doing. I really do believe that.

[ARTY_FOX]

I'm praying I'm eating humble pie in 12 months but no. Not good enough at this level on evidence we have to go on imo. 

[Dahnsouff]

Reluctantly accepting.

[Mike Oxlong]

Where’s the fuk no option ?

I'm so against this appointment but the board will be even more of a joke if they sack him this season. Unless it comes with their own resignations they need to give him the season as it's inevitable we're going down

[guest123]

Nope, not one bit. Obviously hope he proves me wrong but has the same feeling as when we brought Dean Smith in to save us, remember that Newcastle away game 

End of the season when we'd been promoted I honestly thought we could build something with Enzo. The players had bought into it, teams would have attacked more giving us plenty of room to play the system he wanted........ and then this. The club certainly know how to give our fans the highs and the lows

[whoareyaaa]

NO

[st albans fox]

It’s a binary question without context 

It’s like asking if you want tonsillitis or glandular fever 

 

I’d rather not have either. If I have glandular fever then I’d definitely choose to have tonsilitis.   

 

We have no idea what our options actually are 

if potter has turned us down then do any of us know if corberan would actually leave wba 

 

looking at what’s happened over the past few years we shouldn’t be surprised at where we’ve ended up and the coach willing to work here. 
 

but it is what it is 

 

I can’t vote that I’m happy with copper cos I’d prefer klopp.  But if he’s appointed then I’m behind him and I expect him to do a decent job 

[Corky]

@AKCJ has summed it up brilliantly. I have nothing against Cooper and like some of his characteristics but this looks like the totally wrong fit.

[nick6666]

They waited for you just to be in a state of I'm just happy to have a manager ..

 

They ain't stupid

No idea! I would just be amazed (and horrified) if Steve Cooper is the first choice.

[Kp1984]

I’m kinda not sure how I feel about cooper as manager. I’m not thrilled but at same time I’m not mad about it. It’s strange feeling

Just be glad I didn't make it public so we don't all find out you are a closet cooperite

[WoodyFox]

To think Rodgers masterminded a 4-0 over this bloke

[Phenom]

I am underwhelmed considering who we could have hired. Of course, I’ll give him a chance but I’m done with Rudkin and Top. The sooner they’re out, the better.

We're not even close to pre-season. Some just have no patience or they refuse to see the bigger picture. 

 

The next manager is so important but these people can't go 5 seconds without refreshing FT, X or Facebook to see the latest news.  I think that there are Leicester fans that would rather we sign Steve Cooper today than wait two weeks for Pep Guardiola.

Masterminded is a bit of a stretch.

 

IIRC it was two shite teams and we scored our only chances.
