Cooper news? on 10:18 - Jul 18 with 2006 views | jack247 | I’d have been happy with this 6 weeks ago. With 3 weeks until the season starts I think the best thing would be for him to stay put. We’ve had enough upheaval with the Palace and Fulham farce. Actually think he’d be forced to play more expansive football next season, without Ayew as his get out of jail card. | | | |

He shouldn't need to be forced to play a certain way though. It should come naturally to him. It should be a part of his DNA as much as the club's. Unfortunately it isn't. He should still go in my opinion. | | | |

It’s not part of the clubs DNA either. We played incredible football for 10 years or so, it’s not as if we’ve been brought up on it. Maybe I worded that badly. In a squad without many goal scoring options or creative midfielders, he shut up shop and relied on Ayew to nick us wins. With a more balanced squad (assuming we bring in some creativity) and no Ayew, it would make sense to be more expansive. From the outside, I’d rather he stay now. Having said that, I don’t know how committed he will be, whether we have a replacement lined up etc, so I haven’t got an informed opinion. | | | |

Clearly,many are concerned. Even his fans seem rather subdued. It's human nature to overreact too. | |

I’m definitely concerned. As I said, six weeks ago I’d have been happy with a clean break. We’re at the stage now where he either stays amidst the backdrop of touting himself around London all summer, or we bring someone in just before the season starts. Neither are as good as sorting this one way or the other after the Brentford game would have been. | | | |

Cooper news? on 14:22 - Jul 17 by 34dfgdf54 | It has been obvious to anyone with half a brain cell the club wanted Cooper gone. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if new manager has already agreed a deal and has been working from outside. Winter wants Cooper gone. |
I obviously have no brain cells why if the club wanted him out did they sign one of his targets (Piroes),involve hi. him in the acquisition of Walsh.then lead preseason training...and give an interview in the official site when if they wanted him out he should be at home on garden leave whilst a compromise deal completed...nog fully involved with the preparations for the start of the new season | |

Did he tout himself around then? He just accepted an interview request from a Premier League club didn’t he? Not sure where that notion has come from to be honest. | |

Cooper news? on 18:44 - Jul 18 with 1737 views | QJumpingJack | Did Cooper ever speak to Palace and/or Fulham? There has been a lot of speculation but no concrete evidence. Fulham claim they only spoke to Silva - in Portugal. I expect Cooper's agent may have been touting his name to clubs but maybe Cooper never spoke to another club? And recent press reports claim that Cooper declined the opportunity to take an interview for the U21 England job. | | | |

Def spoke to palace, and if the trusted Nixon and his cohorts are that factual he spoke to fulham as well. | |

And a Championship club. He’s only recently spoken for the first time since the Brentford game and it was bland, copy and paste stuff about training going well. I’m not sure he could have made it any clearer he wanted to move on. In fairness, the club didn’t seem to make a big fuss about him speaking to others. | | | |

We don’t know that though, do we? Fulham said they only spoke to one manager. Remember “touting yourself around” is probably actively approaching clubs. It’s false to keep using that to describe this situation, I have no idea why people keep doing it (well, I do really). You say he couldn’t have made it clear he wanted out, but the point is that it isn’t clear at all. He hasn’t said anything, we are looking for scraps from the media and people are seeing what they want to see. Those that want to paint him in a bad light say “it’s clear he wants to go” those that don’t say “there is nothing to report, business as usual”. The club didn’t make any fuss regarding Martinez, Cooper or Rodgers either. It’s a case of pay the contractual buy-out or move on, you can’t make a fuss and stop your manager talking to a bigger club these days. It plays itself out on n these instances, no fuss necessary. | |

Yes. Was most recently seen happily training a tight knit young squad, cleverly recruited with Andy Scott, ambitious young guns brought in to enhance our playing model. But by all accounts he's gone. Tmw's live game will be telling..... If he has chosen to move onwards and upwards, I've still yet to hear any better alternatives mooted by our intelligent, progressive faithful.......... . | |

Seems incredibly odd timing. I can certainly see why there may be some conflict behind the scenes. Cooper will understandably want a new improved contact and an actual workable budget this time, which I’m not sure we are in the business of providing these days, not to any great extent anyway. Maybe people are hearing some whispers of discontent regarding that and coming up with their own narrative. | |

Unfortunately for our Club he may have been poached. Who on earth could be a better alternative though ?. The silence from our supposedly faithful, intelligent fans is stunning. Not one better alternative mooted. Still. The Cooperoutists need to come with someone quick. They need to get behind someone, anybody, surely ? How intriguing....... .. | |

The Cooperoutists don't pick the manager, and I'll get behind and support any manager who deserves it. | | | |

Names have been mentioned though, on another thread. What we don't know is, if he left would whoever we brought in be better. There are never guarantees. We could appoint Guardiola and be rubbish! | |

As i have already said, it does seem strange that the "club want him gone" given that it appears some of the signings are players he knows and has talked to ( Walsh) and others who have been Cooper targets ( Piroes) and he is activiely invlolved in preseason. Lots of people will speculate, rmours abound from mdeia speculation especially after his name was touted for Palace and FUlham , amd supposedly for the England U21 job. The Coopeoutists will latch on to this in the hope he will be replaced, people who know those ITK will hear whispers..and develop them BUT if we going to part withour manager it need to be done NOW we are 2 weeks away from the start of the season so if there is to be a managerial change it has to happen this week ...even then thats late otherwise we will get a slow start to the season.... | |

Cooper news? on 08:10 - Jul 20 with 1155 views | Whiterockin | If he's on the touchline tonight, I think he's here at the start of the season. There seems to be nothing coming from the manager or club to quell the speculation, so any post match interview will be interesting. | | | |

Maybe because he's served us 2 years of crap football? The 'ends justified the means' according to his supporters. Yet we're still in the Championship. We need to think differently again. Enough of this negative "be careful what you wish for" mindset. Our club was most successful when we weren't afraid to make bold decisions. Let's get back to that. He should've gone as soon as the final whistle blew. | | | |
