Stevie Cooper

[Marinakis Red]

So Steve is now the enemy!

He won't be when he takes Leicester down. Positive songs will be sung on the terraces for sure.

I really hope not Sniff............apart from when we play the bin dippers, but I would hope he gets a warm reception from our fans, irrespective, which I think he will get.

Any antagonism towards him is more than likely down to the keyboard warriors and trolls, not genuine Reds supporters IMO

Rumours on Twitter that Leicester scouts have lined up foreign targets but cooper wants mostly homegrown and prem experienced players…

That's fair enough, int it?

Not having a pop or looking for trouble here but no wins in 18 games now for Steve in the PL.

I feel for the bloke to be honest but 18 games? Jeez.

Leicester was a crazy job for him. He's never going to succeed there.

I think they've done ok so far. After they play Arsenal on Saturday they play Bournemouth, Southampton, Forest and Ipswich. That's the run that'll make or break them.

Just had a look at the Leicester forum. Jesus wept its embarrassing.
Look Im not saying Steve was the worlds best manager and he clearly made some mistakes at Forest. But he doesn’t deserve the abuse he is getting now and they really aren’t off to a terrible start by any means.
56% want him gone now just 5 games into the season. Another 26% want him gone in October break. This isn’t one or two people either, nearly 600 voted.
Their Cooper Out thread started on the 10th of AUGUST. I mean for fxxxks sake give the bloke a bit of a chance.

A lot are pointing out his tactical naivety which I reckon is fair, it didn’t help he followed Maresca. A few others mentioned something I thought was a problem for a long time here, his back room staff aren’t up to the job either, Tate (in particular) Rands and Alcock, none are good enough or have high level experience.
However think some just don’t want him there and weren’t prepared to give him a chance no matter what a bit like us with McLeish.

[Fumanchew]

Who really is there out there to take the job if they do sack him? Didn’t we argue about potter turning them down? Moyes wouldn’t. They’ll end of with allardyce if they’re not careful unless they prise someone’s assistant away again

That's it in a nutshell. He's ex Forest so they're never going to fully embrace him.

It was the wrong job for him, a promoted club who've sold players and are struggling under ffp. No manager can be successful unless they have fans backing. He should've dropped down again and taken a big championship club job. He knows how to do well in that league.

There's always a foreign coach like the Bournemouth and Palace managers who have come in and done really well.

BREAKING: Leicester City on the verge of SACKING Steve Cooper 5 games into the season with players “bewildered” by his tactics and team selections.

[Fumanchew]

You mean the palace one place underneath Leicester on goal difference?

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I agree with Pap that he was mad to take on the job in the first place.

He would have been so much better off taking the Sunderland job for example.

Yes I thought Sunderland would be a perfect fit for him. No prima donnas in the dressing room and huge fanbase but one that like us has got used to years of underachieving and therefore lower expectations. If he could galvanise that support and generate a team spirit in a dressing room that wasn’t full of egos think he would do well.
