Steve Cooper - New Manager

[Happy Fox]

This is all on the board for appointing a shit manager you reap what you sow.

He sounded so frustrated about lack of signings.

I am a big fan of Cooper but I do worry about being so open about this in public. It doesn't exactly inspire the players that are here now.

at a club not run by a nutcase of an owner he probably would, no one can succeed under Boehly

That’s on Enzo for deciding that was the right move. Perhaps he was that fed up with our clowns that he decided it was in his long term financial interest to work for a nutcase that will eventually sack him, no one can blame him for that his family are sorted for generations.

He has all but one of the players that just won the ****ing league at a sprint. 

 

Ricardo, Ndidi, Faes, Vestergaard, Winks, Choudhury, Vardy, Coady, Daka and Justin have the PrEm ExPeRiEnCe he wants, plus Mavididi has played three seasons in the French top flight scoring goals for fun against opponents like today's. 

 

Yes we need new players but the squad hasn't been the problem in preseason. 

 

Needs repeating for the hard of reading.

 

They still won't get it.

Clutching at straws but is there any hope that he is trying stuff out to see if it works or not, and will change what hasn't worked?

All I would say to this is, if any manager plays 3 DMs in the midfield to see what it looks like. He isn't a manager. Inexcusable really even in a friendly. 

 

The lack of signings are not on him, but not even trying to find a creative solution to solve the lack of attacking output and whacking the most defensive of defensive teams out there and wondering why it went wrong is. What are you possibly learning from doing what he did today, baffling really. 

 

Already looks like he feels the club have let him down and he is starting to go into "it's not my fault" 

 

Disaster of a season coming up unless we have a miracle of a last few weeks of transfers.

This is going to be over pretty quick isn’t it.

The club took the easy option Cooper, when they could have made an inspired.choice. There is no structure the players don’t seem to know what to do, unlike last season. 5 or 6 defeats he will be gone.

Cheap and available option

Faes, Vestergaard, Choudhary & Daka should be nowhere near a premier league starting line up. Vardy is nowhere near the level he used to be.

Corberan would have been so, so, so, so much better. Different level better. 

Cost too much

His Forest teams never scored enough for the situation we were always going to be in. Playing 3 unadventurous midfielders is suicide - doesn’t matter if it’s a friendly.

 

Shit appointment from a shit board.

Why spend 15m on Okoli and cheap out on the manager

Coat too much

Yet we go and spunk more on a defender we don't need? 

[Happy Fox]

Cooper wants the sack already 

 

[HankMarvin]

Could be a masterstroke, look so poor pre season it forces the club to act and get quality players in

Okoli is another it seems

Surely he could see there wouldn't be a lot of money washing about??? He spends 10+ million on a CB when we already have 6!!

This transfer probably made him think there was a lot to spend. Who spends that much on a centre back if you have 5 and not much to spend?

He’s working with turd, and he’s struggling to polish it 

Stop with this bollocks because no one is buying it. This team was playing some serious football last season and he’s got them looking like they have all turned up on the first day of pre-season and met each other for the first time.

I do have a bit of sympathy for him in this case. He needs to come out and criticise the board, and that’ll get the fans onside.

Yes, why?? Spend what little there is in the right places

He was targeted prior to Coopers arrival

But how many of those players would start in a mid table PL from saying 13th to 17th? Maybe Winks, and Ricardo only. 

 

We desperately need creativity and goal scorers.

[GingerrrFox]

If Steve Cooper didn’t feel he could work with the talent that we have within the squad and the players emerging from the academy such as Nelson, Braybrooke and Alves then he should never have took the ****ing job.

 

Imagine walking into a work place as the man in charge and constantly saying to anyone who will listen that what you have around the gaff isn’t good enough and we need new staff. It genuinely beggars belief.
