Stevie Cooper
Lot of reliable Spanish journos and presenters saying it now as well, he was also linked before the Foxes game, could be bullshit could not be, few things could come out of it though, we're actually looking at other managers and cooper will get sacked, or it will upset the coop camp and he may walk,

Felt all international break this is like the one Hughton got before he was sacked.. club barely tweeting anything but stuff to plug, no training photos or anything, the it finished, we got beat and Hughton was gone,

I'm with paps. Evangelos won't care if he upsets us lot, there's no way he wants the club to go down, regardless of folk thinking we will come straight back up, why take that risk

The take away for me is that he's turned us down. This, and recent stories about Lodi not being signed permanently, means our transition back to a Championship club has now commenced.

If we do happen to stay up it'll be by the skin of our teeth. That'll prevent any real quality players being attracted to the club imo.

Sorry to be a gloom merchant but ive got a real sinking feeling about our fortunes at present. I can see a scenario where we dont win another game this season. If EM has got similar thoughts then Cooper will be out the door pronto.

I know Sniff but I dont think people on here realise/are willing to concede how bad our outlook is. With our away record we literally need snookers now to get the requisite number if points from our remaining home games. And lets not forget our goal difference means we have to get one more point than the rest too.

I agree with you Pap.

I don't expect us to change manager now but I have been hinting enough recently that EM is not a happy man.

You make it sound like changing manager would be some.kind of miracle cure and we'd suddenly stay up because of it. I'm sure he doesn't want the club to go down but that doesn't mean a new manager will do any better than Cooper.

I agree Wassy, it doesnt. But, Wolves, Villa, Southampton,  and Everton have all improved having done so.

Wolves are still right in there not sure they're really much further ahead than they were when they changed.

Everton obviously got the best available manager for the situation. Southampton had to get rid of Jones because he was spouting rubbish and have gone from 20th to 20th.

Managers seemingly don't want to come in this point of the season and tag a relegation onto their CV. Plus if you do get someone then you're likely stuck with them next year and even if they do well initially it tends to be short term only. Much better sticking with long term managers who are well backed by the fans, know the club and players well and have done a great job up until now.

To give you an idea of the type of manager you can get at this point, Marsch after being very average at Leeds taking them from 17th to 17th, then rejected Southampton. So you can't even get him!

Have Leeds improved? They beat Southampton and Wolves, decent chance they won those games anyway.
