Stevie Cooper

[Redgirl]

I think its time the pro Cooper (me included) take off our rose tinted glasses and support what is best for the club. I'm so depressed with it all now and im sure its only going to get worse. Every time we lose or draw the same conversations and going to crop up. Its not good for fans, club.players or SC. The pressure on him is so immense i cant imagine what he must be feeling.
He must know that performances just aren't good enough. Hopefully he can pull it out of the bag but everyone is right when saying this cant go on.

There is no divide.

The fans at the game support Nottingham Forest

The divide is the armchair social media warriors.

If fan support for Cooper is putting off potential candidates, I would question their self belief. Why would you not back yourself. Good results/football, winning games etc. would garner instant support.

This.

Pathetic.

If they’re too scared to take over then they won’t be able to handle it anyway.

Steve could handle it. Embraced it. Used it. 

The mad recruitment has made his position very difficult. That sits with EM

Rubbish.

Everyone involved in recruitment needs to take responsibility and none are more involved than our manager.

Besides backing his manager to the hilt what else is EM guilty of?

If we do not win on Friday evening Steve Cooper will have the worst win percentage in Premier League history for any manager managing 50+ games at the same club.

That is not a good statistic.

I disagree SM sorry. I have sat at games and when travelling back from games and heard fans suggesting time for Cooper to go only to be told to f… off and go support Direby amongst other things! Many of those on social media are people who also go to games. There is just a general lack of acceptance that people have differing views and lack of acceptance of the facts in terms of results, performances and the danger we are in, blinded by sentiment.

People who suggest that you aren't a "true" fan in any situation are wrong, especially if its unwavering support for a manager (or player or owner). The club is bigger than any one person. Every club is bigger than any one person.

If people say I'm not a true fan because I can't get away tickets, wasn't in Munich, born in QMC or don't agree with them, then I don't give a f*** what they think.
I will support the players and manager until they no longer represent Forest. Some I will have a "soft" spot for and look out for them in their career others I won't.

Ouch that is a painful stat.

Having a scattergun approach to recruitment. Sacking the recruitment team every five minutes. 

He has without doubt backed coops. Very grateful for how much he’s thrown at it. But the recruitment has been patchy has hell. It has been since he took over the ownership

[Marco Polo]

Also - it’s my opinion. You don’t have to call it rubbish just because you dont agree. I thought we were playing nicely? That didn’t sound nice

Chuck in about 200M as well and it becomes even more painful.

I did not realise it would be that bad Sniff if I'm perfectly honest. Think it will be more than 200m too when you add wages to transfer fees.

It's a painful one to read and one I'd also imagine the board will be considering his future.

[Marco Polo]

Yep, then sack him. Don’t blame the fans for sticking by him and making it difficult.
