Emerging in press too now.
Managers with good stock are awfully quick to walk away if they think they're about to have a difficult season. Viera's made some good moves at Palace already but if his stock was higher he probably wouldn't have gone because of how much hard work there was to do there.
I wonder where Cooper will end up? Abroad would be a good challenge for him.

Re: Steve Cooper - Leaving Swansea
smart move from cooper if true, he's taken them to the playoffs twice, both times with parachute payments and some loan moves that have worked out really well.
to do the same again with no parachute money will be more difficult, so may as well leave while your stick is high

To deny this when he got the jacks job was ridiculous.
I hope they go down.
Sadly they won't as they have a pretty good record at choosing managers.

Re: Steve Cooper - Leaving Swansea
From forty odd miles away, it seems the jacks fans never really took to him - wonder if it had anything to do with his connections with Cardiff?

No they just have a deluded and toxic fan base.

Totally agree with you James :thumbup:

Re: Steve Cooper - Leaving Swansea
It’s a shambolic way to run a club, when the season is almost upon us.
The players they’ve signed in the close season are going to be feeling just a bit demotivated after this!
-
Re: Steve Cooper - Leaving Swansea
pretty unfortunate timing for the swans though
-
Re: Steve Cooper - Leaving Swansea
What do the Jacks get by mutually agreeing to this? If he's under contract surely they can keep him?
As ever, football is big business now and keeps people in jobs. Pretty short-sighted to wish relegation on anyone especially a fellow Welsh team.

They do indeed have a good record when it comes to recruiting managers.
That trend has to end some time, surely?

Well someone has to be relegated so someone can be promoted. Not that they will be in any trouble anyway, they always land on their amphibious looking feet manager wise.

Re: Steve Cooper - Leaving Swansea
I don't think there's any official announcement yet?
But he has taken them to a Play Off semi and a PO Final in his two seasons. And yet the fans down there don't seem to like him, but judging by comments on their PlanetSwans message board they wouldn't ber happy with pep Guardiola!
As someone above says his stock is high so maybe he has something lined up?
As an employer, if you have an employee who doesn't want to be there it's best to let them go. They lose out on compensation, but no point having a manager who isn't fully committed. He certainly has proved he has the talent to spot good young players to bring in on loan and seems well connected in that area.
I'm sure something will be announced soon. Then I can start liking him again, as he is from Pontypridd and used to support Cardiff, just like his dad, who was a youth player at City in the 1960s.

This is a bit if a myth. Theyve made some poor choices as well. They go through managers pretty quickly.
Bradley , Clement , Guidolin , Carvahal , Monk.
From near useless to bang average there.

I bet his next club is in the Prem 🤔

They already have had their odd crap manager and they’ve survived it. Bob Bradley the worst of the bunch really but like you said they’ve really appointed some good managers - Martinez probably one of the best managers the championship has seen

Martinez done a great job there. One of the greatest in the Championship not sure about that. Dont think hes got into the play offs.

Re: Steve Cooper - Leaving Swansea
Update from Swansea: Swansea City can confirm that head coach Steve Cooper has decided to leave the club.
That’s official enough.

It seems that their biggest Gripe is the style of play. Problem is with some of their fans is that they still refer to the 'Swansea Way' i suppose that they're hoping for another Rodgers or Martinez to pop their head through the door, although i think that they got lucky with Martinez, obviously an articulate and intelligent man, although cheap. Fair play with Rodgers, that was some fantastic recruitment.

Re: Steve Cooper leaving Swansea - Confirmed
I would like to see them relegated to the wastelands of football

Re: Steve Cooper leaving Swansea - Confirmed
He should stay.
Walk before he can run.
He ain't that great.
