Fair enough and I think there are enough stories now to accept Cooper wasn’t always Mr Genial behind the scenes even if he did produce miracles. However Joe played 27 times in the promotion season and his form both his last 2 seasons was patchy at best.
Should probably have cashed in on him when he had his standout year, think Villa put £15m on the table at one point.
Players get bombed off all the time by clubs. Joe's clearly a thinking man and it sounds like its left a scar when his turn came around.
My takeaway from the interview was that hes probably wasted a lot of his potential by not having his operation sooner due to less advanced knowledge about his condition here. That might be further fueling his frustration about how his time ended with us.
Wasn't he famously leaking team sheets too though? Sure a few others on here referenced some other stories too

Ah I read Joe and felt like he was treated badly, didn't skip back a page, oops.
If we're talking Lolley, I definitely remember his pen vs Sheff Utd!

Please let us never, ever go back to the days of getting tonked at home by Sheffield Wednesday and the likes ever again.
It is funny watching the sheep manage to throw away great promotion chances year after year though.
I watched Sheep v Lincoln at the weekend. OMG what a poor standard that is. I really don't want to a prem fan who talks down the championship but my, how we've improved over the last 4 years!
Listened to Joe Lolley on the Forest Focus podcast yesterday. I had real trouble listening to it. It was like re-living a part of my life I'd compartmentalised!
Joe who?

Wonder if he'll next be saying he no longer has chats with the owner?

Wasn’t watching but I see Nuno brought a defender on for a forward on 89 minutes and conceded an injury time equalizer. Oopsy!

Sheffield United facing a winding-up order and possible points deduction. Their former owners served the order as the new owners haven't paid some of the money owed for buying the club.
Seems a real mess. One of their new owners has a prior insolvency in the USA and they could face a twelve point deduction.
While it's quite funny because of who it is, there seem to be so many stories like this. Particularly in the Championship chasing the Premier League dream.

Buying football clubs is no longer a past time of the filthy rich like Fawaz and his ilk.
You have to be unbelievably filthy rich these days.

Their new owners transferred all the club's shares into a new company but without any EFL approval. Now the old company - which was the vehicle for buying the club - has been liquidated for not paying the entire fee to the people they bought the club from.
Sounds an absolute mess and they could be looking at a 12 point deduction.
