Out (I know the board won’t do it now)

 

If he doesn’t win the Bournemouth game I think the board will pull the plug then. 

[Focks]

it will let you choose more than one option which is weird (I didn't)

Apologies, edited. 

[StanSP]

Get it done now. 

 

Get someone in that isn't afraid to take on teams, especially at home. Cooper is too cautious. And not selecting better players at the risk of being too attacking is becoming frustrating. 

[foxinsocks]

History as shown that all managers get sacked - so we might as well go early and get ahead of the other clubs looking for a manager

[inckley fox]

That's not really an 'in / out / wait' poll, is it? It's a 'sack him now / sack him soon / never sack him' poll. Anyone calm enough to say 'things will be a lot clearer in a month or so, one way or another' literally can't vote.

[Stuntman_Mike]

I hate being against someone so early into their reign, but I feel with the point deduction no longer hanging over us we need to aim higher to give ourselves a better chance.

[The Doctor]

get it done now, give ourselves a week to sort out with someone to be in for the Bournemouth game. the idea that "you've got to give him time before sacking" is a fallacy. a sacking that's justified at x+1 games is justified at x games. waiting to hit a magic number of games played is just time wasting 

[Realist Guy In The Room]

To go from Enzo who had a clear as crystal plan on how he wanted to play (whether you liked it or not, you can't deny this) to this guy just had disaster written all over it.

 

He's gash and needs to go.

 

We will have to wait and I doubt the board (due to their utterly spineless nature) will act until he's done a hell of a lot more damage.

 

I actually hate Cooper.

[CrazyKopCorner]

He's not up to it - Too many Cooperisms - You literally could have 1 a day 

 

We need to learn the lesson of TCR who was totally inept for different reasons. 

 

Get rid now as best for all parties 

[Wink84]

Oct international break. We need to see massive improvement or get rid by then. We're in a much stronger position now due to PSR ruling and need to make the most of it.

[Blueman1967]

Sorry, after five games this is too early, if we bottom, and lost ever game, and getting hammer ever game,  l say yes.

[broadstone fox]

If we lose to Bournemouth get rid.

Yes, he did have a clear plan. It seemed to have been sussed at a lower level, and we weren't even on promotion form for the second half of the season. Quite a few people on here who want Cooper gone also wanted Maresca gone as late as April. Most of us saw that the set-up needed to change. Most were calling for a more flexible tactical approach.

 

Your hatred of him, though, is just a further example of what's going on, in that some people can't separate their emotions from their ability to reason. Most of his critics decided that on day one. In many ways, if you wanted to defend Cooper or the board, one of the strongest arguments for them would be how unbalanced the criticisms against them have been.

 

I have serious doubts about the board and Cooper. But you're never going to win those arguments if you're baying for a new manager's blood (newly promoted, at a troubled club which was out of form for some time) after 5 fairly inconclusive games. Bide your time and, if things don't improve, at least nobody will say that it was the tidal wave of pessimism which led to things not working out.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Too many red flags and warning signs for me to ignore. Get rid ASAP and get someone in who the players respect and who knows how to do the basics ahead of a nice run of winnable games in October.

 

However, he won’t be sacked at least until the end of October because the board are cowards and won’t want to be seen as too impulsive and reactionary.
 

I genuinely think Blackpool have a more competent manager than we do (Steve Bruce for those of you who don’t know).

I think it'll be international break, Coops needs a win desperately to save his job. A win out of the next two will buy him so more time. 

[Foxdiamond]

Give him another 5 league games

But 4 of those are teams we could get points from. Do you want to waste those games on him?

[Fazzer 7]

I will drive him back to Wales foc. Taxi for Mr Cooper. 

[Nolucklcfc]

If we lose the next 3 (particularly against forest) then I think it’ll happen then. Won’t be before. 

[gurru991]

It's way too soon to even think about pulling the trigger on Cooper !!

I am not enjoying the very conservative team selections & think he needs to be more attack minded but Forest fans tell me he did the same thing there.

I would give him the next six games with an expectation of nine points to keep his job.

Arsenal

Bournemouth 

Southampton

Forest

Ipswich

Man U

No guarantee either way.  Just think sacking before is premature. Not as bad a start as 1983-84 and then we stuck with Gordon Milne. Not that relevant but shows how much vitriol in modern game 

[Number 6]

Well my option of wait and see doesn't seem to be there.

 

I don't think now is really any different to the international break in Oct: what will you really learn from Arsenal and Bournemouth?

 

Sticking with the November international break as a point when we'll have enough to make a fair judgement and decision. Whether that's stick or twist depends on results.

[Kitchandro]

People saying it’s too early need to be a bit more honest with themselves. The only thing that matters is this: do you think the performances are a fair reflection of Cooper’s tactics and selection and, if so, do you genuinely believe he will change?

 

I’d say yes to the first question and, based on the fact he had similar tactical flaws at Forest, no he isn’t going to change.

 

We need to be pragmatic at this football club. He doesn’t have what it takes, time will not change that because, like almost every manager, he will not change.
