Time to give Steve Cooper a call?

[BLUEAWAY TOO]

Today’s inept performance was shocking.
We reverted to the negative tactics and all but possibly NG and Hovarth were awful.
Bulut suggests that the performance was due to the lack of clarity re his contract. Well that will be same next week and the week after that!

The penalty was a gift delivered via our tactics.
The second was also sloppy midfield / defending play.

The penwas poor defence.

Sunderland were quicker around the park .

Our players are already on holiday .

I'd take Cooper in a heartbeat. However, as others have pointed out his assistant is that moron Tait.

Cooper is not going anywhere near City.

The idea he would is fanciful stroke delusional.

I think we all would. But would he take us? Not if he's got any sense. Mind you, he is a City fan, so how much sense can he have?

There’s 44 jobs in the top 2 divisions. He’s not going to get the top 15 jobs in the Prem. He won’t want a job in the bottom 7/8, so that leaves about 20 clubs. Then he won’t go back to Forest or Swansea. For managers like Cooper, it’s a shallow pond and if you’re out of work for too long, you get forgotten.

Managing a club like City, with very limited resources and other managers' players could expose him badly. There are worse things than being forgotten.

I can't think of one manager who has come here in a long time that has gone onto better things (add players for that matter as well) - better to wait and still have a sniff of a career than come to the elephant grave yards of football clubs

If the money is right of course he would.

Everyone is skint in the Championship. Our wage bill last season was 14m, that's mid ranking and we are clearly spending a hell of a lot more this season. Bulut is getting credit for doing this on a shoestring when nothing could be further from the truth. If we were skint, we wouldn't have spent 2m on a number 10 that's now 4th choice.

There's been shed loads of players that we've improved. Come on.

I don't think he would come

And he wouldn't last long with the jackals

He'd look at City and think "shiit show."

Not a chance he comes to City under Tan. Anyone who thinks he would are sniffing glue.

I'll happily be proved wrong.

Call him, why not.
