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

[foxinsocks]

We are doomed. 

Wait... how will an appointment of cooper play out in Bangkok ?

No. 
 

Firmly believer in the Forest nonsense - he’s said as much 

 

Style of football that increasingly becomes wretched subject to form 

 

Don’t think it’s the sort of appointment which gets players interested in joining lcfc 

 

No invention by the board to think outside the box 

 

 

 

This is a big issue for me. We're not going to be attractive as it is, given the likely big points deduction, so we really needed a manager who players would be excited to play for. Maresca quickly convinced players to stay last season, despite being in the Championship, because he sold an exciting vision. Just can't see Cooper having the same effect. Can't see Winks and Ricardo wanting to play in a low block team watching the ball sail over their heads. Plus, it's not even like we have a squad set up for sh1tehouse ball, like Everton did when Dyche came in.

Anyone voting yes simply doesn’t have a clue about football, tactics, coaching and game management. 

Wtf is Cooper? Are we really close to appoint as a manager someone who was sacked at Forest? What's going on? 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

No, I think he's broadly uninspiring and this season is going to be a car crash – that said I wasn't overly struck with the idea of Potter either so the past 24 hours hasn't exactly been a huge jump down in my eyes. Corberan was the name of all those heavily mentioned that I wanted.

[Jobyfox]

I voted no, but the answer is more nuanced. 
 

The reason I voted that way is because we definitely had a clear style and identity last season and looked like building the team around it. Many didn’t like the approach, but at least the direction was clear. 
 

This appointment isn’t the worst in terms of the manager, but it goes completely against the blueprint we were establishing. It plays into the hands of people who believe we’ve got no strategy or direction at the top of the club. For these reasons the appointment is a confusing one.

Top needs to stop this now

[Quorndon_Fox]

Can’t wait for the announcement

 

 

 

[Fear Of The Fox]

I already have nightmares by even thinking Cooper parking the bus vs Spurs with Faes and Vesty.

And yet many thought the Maresca style of play would not transfer to the Premiership with the players at our disposal. Won the League but still managed to lose 11 games in the Championship too.

 

[Chelmofox]

Not really. But its his job now to prove he is the right choice. Looking forward to being pleasantly surprised, but my expectations for the season are far lower than if we had Enzo still in the job.

[Pita]

Can’t believe they are even considering Cooper after his show at Forest 

[Foxes BC]

I don't mind Cooper, think he did a great job at Forest. However, his style of football does not follow the possession based, high-press style that I thought the owners wanted 🤔

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. 

I'm with @StanSP on this. 

 

If we want to survive the premier league, we have to back him.

'Blooper Cooper'. I can envisage the back page headlines now. I’m more than happy to be proven wrong obviously but this appointment is giving me the same gut feeling last felt when the club appointed Gary Megson.

He's basically a younger version of Steve Bruce or Chris Wilder. Readjusting to our new lowly status in the pecking order is not easy to take. This appointment is maybe the point at which I've reluctantly reached acceptance on the grief curve. 

[iancognito]

Anybody that uses the reasoning "he wasn't good enough for Forest" isn't worth having a debate with, nobody is good enough for Maranakis. O'Neill wasn't good enough for him. Let's have it right, Pearson wasn't good enough for Southampton. Half our managers haven't been good enough elsewhere.

 

It's a pretty pathetic argument.

[Fear Of The Fox]

Given the situation we're in we need a feisty, passionate, tactical manager. We'll need minimum 10-12pts from the first 6 games, this means the team has to be aggressive and not passive. Where does Cooper fit in all this?

I genuinely don't think the owners know anything about football. Which would be OK if they knew about running a business/football club. Sadly I'm not sure of that either these days 

[420Hashish]

If he does get appointed, all we can do is back him. Going into the first match already on his back is not going to be a good sign for the season.

We're not discussing the support here. It's without question we'll support anybody because we love our team. 

[BillyFOX12]

Could have been worse, we could have signed Frank Lampard.

 

 

 

 

Love me some Rudders in the morning that incompetent twat.

[jonny_wright]

How are Teflon John and Whelan still here after over seeing this absolute car crash…. Quite unbelievable 

[MattFox]

Will he still wear Paul Smith head to toe 

[st albans fox]

Settling down to the same levels as the ‘should enzo be sacked’ after Plymouth 0-1
