That’s Leicester down.
Cardiff would be funny. His style doesn’t suit players who can’t play. |  |

Would Tate join him if he did end up at Cardiff? |  | | |

I reckon he will sit it out and take the compo, taking another job will probably reduce his payout. |  | | |
| Cooper sacked on 19:17 - Nov 24 with 1751 views | ReslovenSwan1 |
He walked out on Swansea with no job to go to. That was disrespectful in my book. He also failed to secure Gyorkeres who the club laid on a plate for him with Piroe on his way.
At least forest paid the compo for him. Russ and his team refused to pay and Swans we a had to go to court and had to settle for less than was due . |  |

It was a negotiated pay off with Julian Winter. | |

He presumably told Winter he did not want to fulfill his contract. The third year of a three year deal. He took the pre season and was linked with Crystal Palace. He joined Forest and they paid full compo for him.
He walked out on Swansea and was disloyal declining to fulfill his obligations. | |

you know the full story do you?
I thinkbypu will find the club played silly games re compo when Palace came calling . ..he didn't walk out...he actually claimed constructive dismissal....
you ain't a got a clue | |

I’d prefer our current manager. |  |

No way Tan would pay him enough or give him a big enough transfer pot.
Plus he takes Tatey everywhere with him 👍 |  | | |

So where is this " constructive dismissal claim" reported? Can you back it up? What silly games with Palace?. This is football and you do the best for the club. It was presumably given on the contract like with Russ.
Cooper was contracted to Swansea city who do not always have to fold like a pack of cards when the London boys come calling.
Gallagher Guehi Brewster Gibbs- White, Woodman, Gyorkeres, Lowe Ayew Borja Baston Bennett Roberts Cullen Grimes. He never had a chance. [Post edited 24 Nov 22:34]

What on earth as how he looks got to do with anything?
And what gives you, me or anyone else the right to judge his looks ?
I feel resentful about the way things went during his tenure, especially the farcical events surrounding Wembley, but would not slur him personally |  |

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. | |

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? | | | |

Personally I think we were paying Cooper a pittance and he was right to expect £3K a week. We have a reputation for underpaying our coaching staff. | | | |

The Brentford Play-Off Final defeat was very hard to take for us fans. New Wembley was our lucky ground wasn't it? Leaving Wembley that day was something that still hurts. I think it was hard to take for the coaching staff too.
My memories of the time was there was no fans outcry at Cooper leaving us for Crystal Palace. It seemed a 'natural end' to the relationship and one where we may get 'compo.'
Like a couple of 'unknown' managers, we took a chance on Cooper. He wasn't paid what other experienced Championship managers could expect. However, we presented him with a chance at league management, so it was seen as mutually beneficial. So you can perhaps understand how he felt he deserved pay parity, having achieved the Play-Offs on two successive seasons. And how those 2 or 3 extra players could make all the difference the following season.
And while I don't think he was a great manager, he was better than many we've had. And I found it had to believe the short sighted, counter productive decision of the American owners, (one of a catalogue of mistakes) not to support him. When he was taking us so close to their goal of the EPL financial bonanza...the reason why the Americans bought the club in the first place.
That summer saw his resentment towards our owners, sentiments the fans regularly voiced. Like many people he wanted to be valued in his role, he wasn't, certainly not by his bosses. So this is why I don't believe he will choose to go to our cousins, as having experienced one set of 'bad owners,' he'd naturally be reluctant to want to experience a similar situation, working for Tan and his methods. |  | | |

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 |  |

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.
