If he were to go I wouldn't blame him. They're a more attractive proposition than us at this current point in time. Anyway as you say Wassy this is all conjecture.

The timing is terrible, if it happens in a few weeks and we've won a few games and started to settle then he likely would stay regardless. Just feels like there's a window right now where he's slightly more vulnerable.

What makes you think he wants to stay Wassy?

Cooper? I would assume he's pretty happy here! Adored by the fans, first ever prem role, spent 150m on what looks like a decent team, big fanbase, new stand etc.

Yes that's how it appears but things are not always how they appear to be.

I mean it's clear there are a few issues, hence the contract/odd team selection. I was under the impression those issues are likely minor and would disappear as the team inevitably improves. Do you think the issues are perhaps worse than minor?

I think so yes (I am shutting up now).

Ominous, hopefully a few wins will turn the tide.

Hope so mate I really do. I would love nothing more than 10-12 points from our next 5 games and for Cooper to sign a long term contract.

The only thing that makes this background noise go away is some positive results.

In an organisation as big as ours, there will always be stuff happening behind the scenes that isn't ideal, but alot more of it gets out when results are poor.

I get people's frustrations on Saturday- I had them too - but the response since- including the tw@ts with short memories who booed - has been way over the top at this stage. Our support has been fantastic in last 12 months, on Saturday it was crap in truth.

Need a result to nip this negativity in the bud.

I’ve been saying this for a while, he likes to control his own destiny and will always have one eye on where next

Why are we even discussing who may replace him?

Why not? It doesn't do any harm. Hopefully it won't come to that but of course it's a possibility.

I find it breeds an air of discontent and you never know who reads these posts.

Well just in case then:

Steve, we all love you,  since you came to the club you have breathed new life into it and into the city. Everywhere you go, kids wearing Forest tops instead of ManU or Liverpool. Scramble for tickets for every game, desperation to make the capacity bigger and you gave us one of the best days of every Forest supporters life.

But.....even when we were winning European Cups and were consistently one of the best sides in the land there were still what Cloughie used to call "know nowts", S Peel used to regularly write whingeing letters to the Footbsll Post and attendance were often around the 15k mark for the lesser games. I would class the idiots who vented their frustrations by booing on Saturday as these too.

In this day and age its twitter, FB and forums where these people talk absolute boll@x - me included- and the next generation who demand instant gratification put unrealistic expectations on a new team and often think they know better than a guy who achieved what no one else could in 23 long years and works every day with the players.

Please be assured 99.9% of Forest supporters and 100% of genuine supporters are right with you and trust that we will be OK and you will build a team compete as you get to know the new players better.

A few clean sheets and good results and all will be rosy again.

If Liverpool carry on like they are doing tonight he'll be going there, never mind Brighton.
