I've had a ton of down arrows recently all for stating the obvious. Its like some people are blind to this clowns short comings one thing is an absolute cert in that if our loanees continue in the same vein as they did on Tues the top clubs wont be in any rush to lend us anymore of their young guns.cooper is ruining them

I had hope for Cooper, but he is going backwards. He's got to the motivational speech stage, where tactically he can't do anything, so he'll try a verbal approach. The Hull manager literally said the same thing this week ("we need to stick together"). It's last resort stuff.
In reagrds to those who are still backing Cooper, their argument is that he had no money to spend and has a team of young players. But he's made several loan signings that he wanted, and his specialty is coaching young players. He's making his job harder than it needs to be by using 1 late sub per game.
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
The manager is doing a fine job especially with the rebuilding that has/ is still happening. Playoffs are a realistic possibility, and if anyone thinks we should sack Cooper, then they should go and get their head read.
I've just choked on my fckn cornflakes.

Cooper Out (n/t) on 09:46 - Feb 14 with 2753 views
The swingometer will change. Unless Cooper has 40 usernames.

Too much inexperience in our defence. We need an old sweat of a centre half to marshall our defence. I've supported the Swans for 55 years and never been one to call for managers to be sacked and have never come on here calling for it. Even Bob Bradley! Cooper however is clearly out of his depth. If he stays we are looking at relegation next year. Time to act now. I doubt if he's on a huge salary. Bite the bullet, act now and build for next year.

I just had to bump this. Its been another shìt night but this will always bring a smile. Comedy gold
I deliberately chose this thread to contribute, because I am fast approaching supporting its title. If one, or even a handful of players underperform then it is likely down to the individuals. When it's pretty much the whole team, it's the coach. It's not even down to higher than the coach - I'm talking about performance v potential. Last night was grim - I didn't boo or shout - I tried to encourage, clap etc. but it was tough. Birch will no doubt now have serious reservations. I spoke with Curt in the summer and he volunteered feedback re Cooper - his appointment was all about managing young players. Great in theory but as has been said elsewhere there is a chasm between managing players on a daily basis vs preparing them for tournaments on a temporary basis. No blame to those who appointed him - great intent, as was Clement really. Cooper is way out of his depth - doesn't have a plan A - let alone B or C. In some ways I feels sorry for him as his club management career at this level, in my view, will end here. I stood and clapped Rangel last night, and would love the club to invest in him longer term, given our limited budget. Knows the style, commands respect, worked with the best (RM, BR, ML), has fire, passion and comes over as an honest person. I don't think Cooper is honest with himself, leave alone us through press conferences and so on. He didn't absorb pressure/blame or protect the players in his post Derby press conference - he laid the blame with them. Awful. We are on a downward trajectory and unless he suddenly produces hidden leadership qualities, it's Cooper out (in the summer) for me, sadly.
Getting rid is fine Jinx, but you must suggest someone to take us to the next level, mun?
My answer is, don't change it until you've got a replacement.
Now answer the question: Who would you have as a replacement?
You are on a cop put your a WUM!
I"ll be honest I have no idea, I am not fully up to speed with who is who available in football atm,,,,, i do hve a life away from here, but SCFC is my life been so since 64/65.
Keep with Coops we are fooked, I am confident of that,we are going backward at an alarming rate, in my mind we had the right one in Tosh, and it may be a case he saw what we decided on and thought " feck me if thats the case i"m off"
now who is your choice if he was to go....answer please with a name . WUM
I think I'd rather his dad pick the side and tactics. He looks like he doesn't want to be on the touchline. His body language is poor- that's something he can alter. His constant rotation is more of a problem as is his assertion that we needed to win Tuesday for our promotion push and the fact we just played hull like there were no tactics at all it must have been a team talk that consisted of " go out there lads and enjoy your selves".
I get the feeling players aren't being motivated and not one of them would run through a brick wall for him - he can't be inspirational in his coaching methods because nobody seems to know what they are doing or where they are playing.

We don’t have to suggest someone else. That is down to the people who appointed him.
He is a rookie manager so I accept he is going to make mistakes.Tactics seem confused, he appears unable to adapt to an opposition change of tactics (inexperience) and tonight apart is reticent to use subs.
I could accept all of that if players were getting better under his coaching performances were improving even if results weren’t there and he appeared to be learning.
However players are going backwards and performances are awful. If it wasn’t for our good start we would be in a relegation fight and deservedly so.
On the evidence so far he is cutting his teeth in coaching and managing at too high a level.

Dobjacks reply later on (above) is worth reading but possibly our first choice is whoever came second to Cooper last time...Or whoever tops the list in the next round as we will allwys attract managers much like all the other clubs do everytime.

Hi, how are you doing?
Sorry, to answer your question - not really. It's like sitting down to a bad meal and being asked to choose a new one without seeing the menu! I'm sure there are many up and coming coaches, with some experience of club football, who could not do worse. As I've said before, Rangel (and maybe a Leon combo) may be better, but very high risk. Birch will already be scanning the market no doubt.

It's not just that he isn't learning, it's that he's showing very little interest in doing so and publically commenting to that fact. "We won't change the way we play" has come out a number of times now.
The view of Potter's tenure here is largely sepia toned due to the decent second half we had but even during the rougher periods you could see some basic shapes, ways to play beginning to be bedded in, and that's despite a huge player turnover. There's been none of that with Cooper, and he's had a far more settled squad to work with.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

It’s fair to say that if we’d appointed Cooper instead of Potter last season we’d have been playing league one this season. For his faults he did a magnificent job here with both hands tied behind his back. I hope Brighton sack him as I wouldn’t mind seeing him come back, given what we have now.
