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

[Sionnach gorm]

I’m willing to give him a chance.  He’s not your average British manager (which right now I have little confidence in).  He’s learned much from Jose Segura, who has shown to be a good tactician.  So, let’s hope he does well.  He may surprise us.

[Corky]

Good to finally have a Welsh manager. Hopefully Robbie Savage is next.

[Trent Steel]

I'm confused as talksport saying Cooper ruled OUT earlier on. Has ir changed?

Rodgers doesn't need Coopers help at all on that front.

Well said .

He's gor a tough job on his hands but he will bring everyone together.  Cmon u foxes!

Is this a turn of phrase or were you actually sat on same bus as him when you typed that?

[Hales]

Not particularly thrilled - would of prefered Potter but it is what it is and ill support.

 

I think this is a financial situation employment!

[DesertFox]

Meh.

[TMELcfc]

The desire for Potter over Cooper baffles me… Is it the fact Potter wore a turtle neck at Chelsea for 5 months? Or the fact Cooper managed Forest? 
 

I’d rather neither but I don’t get the massive sway for one over the other

potter would at least indicate joined up thinking and a long range plan at the club, with a stylistic ethos that managers and players are slotted into. Cooper indicates that there's absolutely no plan, just bumbling idiots throwing darts at a wall to make decisions. absolutely rancid appointment and when it fails Rudkin needs to be tarred, feathered and run out of town.

It would indicate a continuation of the "vision", you're right. But not many were enjoying that vision. I wouldn't be so sure that Cooper wouldn't continue this if we are in a better position in the future.

 

Right now, it needs pragmatism. Something I certainly didn't see from Enzo. He looked happier being pounded by Chelsea 4-2 than he did beating Southampton 5-0. I certainly don't think Potter would have been much better in that regard.

 

I feel more hopeful with Cooper than either of them. I think if they want to continue the boring possession based football there is time for that in the future. 

[Strokes]

Not really, I haven’t seen anything to suggest he will be anything but mediocre at best.

Completely losing interest all together if I’m honest.

 

[Mike Oxlong]

I wanted an unknown foreigner. I like unknown  foreigners even though they often disappoint after a honeymoon period. He would be well down my list of appointees but that said, if he comes in I’ll back him fully unless and until results and decision making erode  that support 

 

Whilst guilty of if in the past I also hope that any derogatory references to his appearance are met with an instant ban. He’s not entering a beauty contest FFS and if he gets us playing some entertaining football I’ll be delighted

Dead man walking ..   expectations to be set at very low ... enthusiasm nil 

[dobbylcfc]

I can’t say I’m thrilled or pişșed off tbf. If anything I’m just really angry at the clubs hierarchy the lack of communication has been deafening. It was always going to be tough this season but now it’s got a hell of a lot worse. We put all our eggs in one basket again with potter which I think it’s the 3rd time we’ve done this??? And know we’re getting a manager who wasn’t even the top pick by the club. Fantastic Rudkin your in a class of your own 👏👏

If you think possession football is boring, wait until you are watching us camped on the edge of our box for 80% of the game whilst touching the ball in the opposition's box about 3 times per game  which is pretty much what he served up at Forest.

Sign of things to come.. we are going to have to endure some kind of Forest reference in commentary/coverage of all our games now. Also looking forward to it on here when he claps their fans after they likely hammer us.

[Tielemans63]

When I was 9 I came home from school one day and my mum said I couldn't go straight out because my Uncle Stu was coming round with a new bike each for me and my brother. I couldn't believe it. A new bike!

 

Anyways, when my Uncle Stu arrived. It turns out these 'new' bikes were ones he'd literally found in his neighbours skip. I remember him saying "I can't believe the neighbours were throwing these out, they're perfectly usable". They were total shit.

 

I feel this nicely sums up my feelings on the Potter / Cooper situation

[teblin]

I wouldn't have chosen him and if we have early bad results he will have the fans against him early on.

 

Thank said, I think he is a decent coach and guy and did do a decent job at forest. We can't do anything about it other than get behind him and the team in the hope he'll keep us up.

[ozvaldo]

Give it Thierry Henry.
