Stevie Cooper

Times saying cooper will still go if games don't improve

[nffc93]

I guess someone had to go but it does look a bit of a mess right now.

They should have sacked Cooper after the West ham game.

Seems odd if it’s down to a bad transfer window… surely cooper authorised any signings? Does anyone really know what’s happening.

Gerrard isn't much of a coach but he did go out and get a high level of coaching staff by Scottish standards as the manager of rangers.

But is a real step down if he was to replace Coops

Gerrard as Coops No2 maybe? Could be way off of course.

Bloody hell.....finally someone speaks up about the poor tactics........ Steve Cooper needs to change things up........its all too 1 dimension


"Playing without a proper striker, it has to change. I understand at times you're giving Gibbs-White a free role, but you look at it and at times think is the manager thinking 'I need to play Gibbs-White but I can't play him at the point in a midfield three because I don't feel he does the other side well enough'.
"It means you don't have to accommodate him in midfield but it's at the expense of a striker. It's all on Brennan to score then. That's what it is when we've won games. Brennan waits for a chance and then he scores. In terms of the game plan it's not changed, but now you need to have a focal point."

Well Lewis McGugan isn't the manager so it's f**k all to do with him is it.

The tactics and Cooper are to blame but again so are the players because they should be able to string 5-10 passes together but they seem to f**k it up all the time and thats something Cooper can't change standing on the sidelines so why the hell do you keep blaming one person only because its all their faults 

There is more than one person in the team you know so perhaps spread the blame because they all deserve blame.

Ultimately the buck stops with the man in charge because that's what he's paid for and that's how the world works. Customers don't blame the night shift supervisor if they buy a faulty product that was made last night. They shout at the MD because he let it happen and he is responsible.

They shout at the MD ( Marinakis) and the MD in turn fires the person responsible for sourcing the faulty product- Giraldi. 
Because the product is faulty though, overall company performance drops too and the MD often fires the head of sales operations just so blame is shared around - that’s Cooper.

Ultimately yes its Coopers fault but the players can't play shit and not do a shift and have no blame for it. Some of the passes and shots on goal they do are from Sunday league football by someone who has got a massive hangover so yes they do need to take blame as well. Like I said once that whistle goes it's up to the players to do their job which is obvious their not doing.

I think this could possibly be Coops last home game. Could well be a strange old day Sunday with a mixture of emotions

Could well be.
If reports are anything to go by, EM and Giraldi had a big fall out over Giraldi not agreeing to Coops basically remaining coach on a game by game basis.

I would imagine Wilson’s first action will be to bring a new head coach in.

Wonder if it will be Hassenhutl or Gerrard
