I was gutted at the time of out defeats to Brentford and did tend to blame Cooper for it.

After the dust settled and you look at the players Brentford had and what they have gone on to become they were just a better team at that time


Think most didn't expected a positive result, we all hoped for the best, Cooper actually picked a more attacking team instead of having both Bidewell and Manning on the left he chose Lowe who hadn't been the preferred selection up to that point in the league team. We got caught at the back and Fulton's sending off ended any real chance of recovering the game.

This comment is not aimed as criticism at anyone in particular, it's just a general comment.

I had a relative suffering from Macular Degeneration and it's a heartbreaking condition, which affects the centre of a person's vision, leading on, in some cases to full blindness.

I believe I read how Steve Cooper's eyesight has required a couple of operations already and he's described how a routine eye examination, helped to identify his diagnosis.

There but for the grace of god etc etc...


Exactly.

It is worth noting he is looking much better around the eyes compared to his days at Swansea on very little money. Some may chuckle, but it is evident. However, that launched a very successful manager merry go round career with two very nice pay off’s. The latter making him a multi millionaire.

I wish him well.

Was it naive of Cooper to expect the pay rise after the loss of the Parachute payments, the team ended up have the three players if not more Downes, Ntcham, Paterson, Obefemi and Piroe but was missing a defence, did we get Wood and Darling the following year it all blurs into one?


The names you mention I believe came during Martin’s time.

Good players too. Bar the one who committed mischief.

Or the two.

We reported on it as it happened. From the day after the play off final.

He asked for 50k pay rise ( he was on 96k) and three players. Those players were not millions.

The club said they couldn’t support that, so Cooper stated I can’t manage without help. (horses mouth ) This after two play offs. They negotiated his terms to leave. It’s what Kaplan and Levien wanted, they killed us at every turn.

I’ve put the long history of reports on here before today.


Whatever Keith.
All that should have waited until after Wembley.
Had he motived the team properly that day and got us promoted, he would have been in a much stronger position to discuss new terms.
He let the supporters, the players, staff and himself down with his lack of application that day

Coopers team failed in playoffs ,twice
A rise?
For failure ?


I agree.
Yes he got us into the playoffs twice.
Yet look at Gareth Southgate.
He went close a few times with England yet failed to win anything so doubt too many England fans cried at his departure??

My recall is most came directly after Cooper left, were they in the pipeline before Cooper left as for Darling and Wood I did mention that I thought they came in Russell second season.

I wish him well also decent man, who tried and done his best for us, he brought some talented players here through his connections as well Brewster was phenominal for us, great pity that a promising career has stalled for Coops and Brewster.

Sadly both Ayew brother have a reputation for choking in the big games for Ghana. Andre on huge money missed a penalty v Brentford before scoring in the game the Brentford player was sent off.

The spectre of crass media bias was there for all to see after pundits from old London town claimed the full back with a long run up lunge put both the ball and Connor Roberts into the stand and was harshly treated. Cooper did not go for the throat v 10 men. 1-0 up.

This does not reflect well on the players. How that team under Brendan got relegated beggars belief. A culture problem perhaps.

I am a little torn on Cooper. If he was as badly paid as Keith suggests then he deserves more consideration.
