Ya know what, I’ve seen a few of his interviews now and even though he’s barely stepped in the door he seems like a decent bloke and he comes across as down to earth and not full of shit like certain others. 
 

Warming to the bloke a little

I agree.   Seems nice and the type you would want to have a few cans of carling black label with on a friday evening.

He’s actually won me over from these interviews… 

 

God.. I’d be way too easy to groom

I have a white van parked outside the KP. There's free candy if you get in.

Why on earth would you need to login to foxehub to watch the cooper video? It should be all over the socials.

Typical LCFC nonsense.

[gerrytaggart]

I've done a complete180.  I'm fully on board now.

 

LET THE GAMES COMMENCE

Good luck, we were going to need it this season no matter what. 

Finishing somewhere like 12th and a semi-final in a Cup would be a great achievement.

It would be a bloody miracle!

[FoxinNotts]

I’m on board. Welcome Stevie Coops. Bring us some more silverware with some steel

[Saxondale]

We need @Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo to sort out some Steve Cooper emoji things. Thanks Julian.

I’m good with 17th and I don’t care about the cups this season

You can tell from that interview he’s absolutely pumped to get started. 

[Cropwellfox]

Decent Forest fans are fans of his. Was hamstrung by bat shit crazy recruitment and an owner who spent hours a week swearing at people across different levels of the club. They had a rancid set of away fixtures early last season that didn’t help him. He’s gone away from Forest and forensically analysed his decisions and mistakes and is open to learning and adjusting. Far cry from one plan Enzo. Decent guy, great man manager, hasn’t actually failed at any job he’s had in coaching. Will have us paying pragmatically. Get behind the guy for ****s sake 

[Foxin_Mad]

TBF to the guy I like his interview, seems a decent bloke. Good communicator. Listening to that  enthusiasm is quite a good thing to hear and hopefully is somewhat infectious. 

[Chelmofox]

Fair play - decent interview that. Dare i say, im looking forward to it.

I think the interview has to be given its due context.  

 

It's a club interview so, of course, he is interviewed by a simpering idiot asking pre-ordained questions filtered through from the hierarchy.  His mention of Ruskin in particular felt forced.  That might be my own bias.  The club is the club, we all know the issues there.   

 

However, he has always come across as a genuine bloke and this interview is no different despite the obvious shackles. 

 

Major positives for me was specific mention of his experience bringing good young players through and his desire to get under the skin of the club.  To build on the past season but to do so pragmatically.  And the need for a sound coaching staff and some player additions.  Finally, that he spent his time away from the game reflecting and learning.  

 

I was not happy when Cooper was linked initially but I am now feeling cautiously optimistic.  

 

And each and every insult about his looks, choice of suit or weight makes me even more determined to back him.

Hope he gets off to a decent start, otherwise it could be a difficult task get everyone on board. I like what I've heard, I don't care about his looks, dress sense or weight (particularly after seeing Henry VIII Rooney tonight). I'll judge him on his ability to manage LCFC and to ensure that the Foxes Never Quit motto is upheld.

[Stopharage]

Fairly certain his first signing will be Mark Clattenberg. 

 

Good luckk to the guy, has always come across as a decent bloke and has some impressive achievements on his CV. More impressive than being sacked by Parma after 13 games. 

[Scotch]

The more I think about it, the more I think he's a good fit and has qualities we need right now. 

 

One of his main strengths is his ability to unify the players and fans. We need that. We are so fractured as a club just now. Fans, players, board, all of seem to be pulling in different directions, we need someone to bring us together and get a siege mentality going with what the club are facing right now.  I believe he can do that. 

 

His track record with youth. We are in a financial mess right now. We need someone who can get the best out of every resource we have and youth can play a part in that if we can get someone who can bring them through, develop them and integrate them in the team. He has proven he can do that. 

 

Someone who can adapt to get the best out our current team. Like my previous point, we won't have all that much to spend so we need someone who isn't married to a specific way of playing that alienates half our squad. He has shown that he will adapt to what he has available. The low block is the perfect example. Not only will it suit almost all our current CBs but all our current strikers who all work better running in behind. 

 

He has shown that he's not afraid to adapt his tactics and system depending on who we are playing, how we are playing, who is fit etc. We didn't have that under Enzo and it showed at times. 

 

He has proven he can deliver what's expected of him whilst Woking with utter clowns in the boardroom. He will need that experience. 

 

Yes. There are negatives and his win rate in the PL is one of them, particuarly away from home but people forget, he is a young manager. Enzo benefitted from the "up and coming" "still learning" tag, he should too as they are the same age. Plus from what we've heard, he is a student of the game and has went away and analysed what went wrong, I have every faith he has learned from that. Plus, even with that win ratio... he achieved what he set out to achieve with forest. 

 

I wasn't excited by his appointment but I'm now 100% convinced he'll succeed here and people need to drop their desire to be proven right and get behind him. 

 

[RAZZAFOX]

By gum, there's actually some real positivity on here now, which is nice.  It's going to be a tough season but I reckon if we all get behind Cooper and the team, we can actually start building something good again. Really looking forward to what the new season brings now. There will be plenty of ups and downs but I think it might be quite refreshing 👍

 

Now then ....... That's enough positivity for one day, let's talk about England 😱😂

[HarryDee8]

Can he on a shoe string budget keep us in the premier league.

[Gamble92]

Honestly, I know it's been touched on, but do some of you realise how much it projects about yourselves to constantly go on about appearance? There's not one person that's happy about how they look themselves that would go on so much about how someone else looked so negatively. It's actually embarrassing to read.

I’m not sure it’ll be that bad. I think we will spend some money.

Indeed. I thinks he a good bloke but unfortunately this regime will make him the fall guy - one example that cracked me up was Rudkins and KDHs relationship. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Gamble92]

I don't remember one player in all the years Rudkin has been here talk about their positive relationship with him.

Let's be honest they probably do like him, he's the guy giving out the fat contracts to them
