An announcement is expected later on Tuesday with a deal for Steve Cooper to take over at the City Ground finalised; Nottingham Forest agreed compensation with his former club Swansea late last week; he left Swansea in July after leading them to the Championship play-offs.
They have to be happy with that.
Must have promised him a half decent war chest.
Why would Forest need to pay compensation to Swansea ?

Bet he does well there.
Even tempted at 80/1 for promotion

He was contracted until the end of the 2021/22 season when they parted company.
Poison Chalice - I’ll give him 12 months
Good appointment but only if they give him time, their squad is a real mess and needs to be rebuilt. They also have an excellent academy which has bailed them out over the years, Cooper will be able to utilise that
He will do well there if given time..
I don’t know a great deal in terms of the ins and outs and inner workings of either forest or the jacks, but what a strange course of events from how the last season ended. Would have taken Cooper down the city if offered.
Agree. It’s going to be interesting to see how he does.
Alan Tate following Cooper to Forest.

I agree, I think he's a really interesting manager and I believe has been highly regarded in the England setup too. I think he would be a better fit than our present one.
Yeah, would have liked to have seen what he could have done with some time here. He seemed to get a lot of heat at Swansea from the fans for - from my limited vantage point - being fairly successful whilst playing half decent football with a fairly limited squad from what I saw. Limited yes, but you can say that about near enough every team in this division to some degree.
I think Cooper would have been a good appointment for Cardiff City
But that's irrelevant
If my aunty was born with bollocks she would have been my uncle
I'd have Keith Cooper over Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Big time. If Tan was half the businessman people think he is he would have sacked MM as soon as Cooper became available. Cooper's the type of manager that could develop younger players and get the team playing football.
There's a Steve Cooper love-in going on here, lads...
How about Tommy Cooper? Born in Caerphilly, so he must be a Bluebird!
Or recognition that he's a decent manager
You don't have to "love" Cooper to recognise that he's preferable to McCarthy.
He’s far too boring for us.
For whatever reason, Forest do seem to be a hard club to manage - I thought Chris Hughton, who had a very good record in the Championship was a very good appointment, but he was taking them down.
I wonder if that would have continued once it was announced that Alan Tate was coming with him?
