Stevie Cooper

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Interesting- coopers faith in his back room staff may be an issue?

In the interest of balance, this point I am with EM on. We have a very inexperienced back room team and I do agree other teams seem to be that bit smarter than we are.
Cooper has his faults for sure and I wonder of one of them is not asking for more support or indeed realising that it would be useful.

That Mail article did reference that there's already been a fan backlash to Lopetegui.

I am not buying that for one minute.

We all know how fickle football fans are.

If Lopetegui comes in and wins a couple of games and jumps off his seat and raises his arms above his head to encourage the crowd and whip them up into a frenzy then they will be singing his name in no time.

If and it's a big if Cooper goes, his record speaks for itself everywhere he has been including wolves where he managed a 37% win rate. Who are we going to get that is better than lopetegui?

As soon as he left wolves in the summer, there fan base relegated themselves. They took to him.

I have visions of Wassy and SM looking for gaffs in Croydon as we speak :fishing:

On a more serious note, if Steve was to go (hope not) then I would have no problem with Lopetegui coming in.

Percy releasing that article feels like the beginning of the end. Another reason to let coops go

Ha! Croyden is a proper toilet, on top of which if I sold my house I could probably afford a garden shed in that part of the world, no thanks.

As for Lopetegui, Im not stupid, were he to come and start giving us winning football, particularly better football, the fans will be on his side in no time at all.

His history says that isn’t his game and we will continue in low block grind out a result mode which Cooper is being criticised for now. Not sure what that achieves.

Some may not care but a manager who behaves like a spoiled man-child complaining at every decision and getting his players to dive and cheat is not what I want to see here.

Some may not agree but I would have Potter in a heartbeat.

For what its worth I actually believe Potter is a better manager than Cooper. Or at least has the potential to be at the right club. Im just not convinced we are that right club.

I don't want to entertain Cooper leaving however it would be Potter over Lopetegui all day

Don’t want either - if we were in relegation zone then possibly look at it but not now
