Thread: Forest / Steve Cooper

  1. #1

    Forest / Steve Cooper

    A huge reason why Mick will hopefully be sacked sooner rather than later, is that surely it will be pointed out to Tan (not by Dalaman or Choo mind!) where Forest were when we beat them on September 12th? I'm pretty sure they were bottom of the league after the game. Last night, by October 19th they had risen to 12th in the table, with a new manager, once they had got rid of Hughton. That's only five and half weeks. As several people have pointed out on this messageboard, it looks like a missed opportunity not to have gone for Steve Cooper.

    Having said that, to my eyes anyway, it looks like Tan doesn't give a flying one at the moment. about the downward trajectory the club is taking

    Looks that way doesn’t it.
    He has accumulated more points already than we have all season.

    Cooper is just not the sort of manager that we recruit. Sadly.

    With the squad Forest have, they should never have been at the bottom in the first place. Says more about the lack of abilities of Hughton than the positive managerial abilities of Cooper. I don't think the Swansea fans were that enamoured with Cooper towards the end of his reign there either. His ‘style’ of football wasn't that pleasing on the eye.

    The same lack of ability that saw him get promoted?

    Short stay at Forest aside.
    This lack of ability has yielded from 4 seasons in the Championship 2 promotions and 2 play offs and kept brighton in premiership for 2 seasons too.

    I think Cooper would have been a great appointment for us.

    Exactly. He's not what I want but he's done alright over the years.

    If MM had won 12 on the bounce I wouldn't have thought it a great appointment going forward.

    Cooper looks like he knows how to get a football side playing in the championship .

    In 2017. Whats he done since ? Sacked from Brighton and Forest for poor results. Every manager eventually gets past their sell by date. As you were probably aware, I was referring to his ability recently and not in 2017.

    If he's that good, how come he failed miserably at Forest with a good squad and was also sacked by Brighton, Birmingham and Newcastle for strings of poor performances and results.

    He managed to keep a team in the Premier League for two seasons - something that Sir Neil has never managed. Check with your relatives in Yorkshire!

    As I said. Four years ago. Means nothing now. Recent record is poor.

    In any event, if you want to go back, McCarthy kept Wolves in the Prem for two consecutive seasons from 2009/2011, having got them promotion the year before. That compares favourably with Hughton and we know how much you adore MM !

    Steve Cooper might be doing well at Forest but would you want a manager that looks like a Poundland Steve Buscemi?

    Its 3 since your hero took us up. Is that also irrelevant? Seems to matter to you when you're telling us how great NW is, how come it isn't relevant here!?
