Relegation run in 22/23 ** Now a Wolves free zone**

[Wolvensam]

Please don't, it's still too raw!

Ha! To be fair, he did want to leave: JL may have been able to talk him round, but we had no chance with that other moron we had in charge.

At least we'll get a nice little windfall in add-ons now.

MGW was never going to hit those heights here, IMO.

MGW wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a call up, Forest will then have the problem of him being swiped by sides higher up the league.

 

[Kenny]

Really rate their owner for sticking with Cooper so much despite the noise too

If Lage had agreed to take over Cooper was in the bin back in November

 

[Wolvensam]

I remember when we were linked to Cooper after Lage's sacking and I wouldn't have minded him here to be honest. He's a decent coach - Forest mostly just need to sort their transfer policy out. They'll need to have quite a substantial player turn over in the summer to get rid of some of the crap/deadwood they signed, and they might have a job holding on to MGW and Johnson.

Well you build an environment where he will then. We employed an idiot and that's what happened. His success at Forest isn't a surprise, neither was the manager he didn't have any faith in being binned off. We started the season with a 4231 with him being out wide and Podence as a 10...comedically stupid

 

[jd1981]

Unless Leicester miraculously get a win at Newcastle then it’s either big Sam or Sean Dyche getting lauded by the press next Sunday.
I find Dyche highly annoying and king hypocrite at times, on the other hand it would dent the ego of the best fans that have ever existed at one of the biggest clubs to ever exist if Leeds go down.

In hindsight I wouldn't have let him go either, but it was daft money for a player who hadn't shown anything beyond glimpses at PL level - and he only had 18 months left to run on his deal.

I don't have a issue with him going, we didn't have a choice. I have an issue with the environment we built that meant he wanted to

That’s not an unfair criticism of the club, but equally Morgan seems to want to be the guy at his club, and whether or not we handled him better probably wasn’t changing the fact that that wasn’t going to happen for him here.

I'm not sure how much *he* specifically wants to be 'the guy', but the position he plays is quite specific which does demand it in a way. He'd have probably been OK with Lopetegui as we tend to play a man off the striker, but under Lage we very rarely played a 10. He looked absolutely bobbins on the wing which is where he was usually lumped.

 

[Lycan]

Forest have been shite for 99% of this season. Being slightly less worse then Saints, Leeds, Leicester, Everton is nothing to be proud of.

They'll go down next season if the 3 that come up have anything about them. If not then then the season after. Their owner is insane. No way it's sustainable.

 

[big mean bunny]

It's not just the Guedes side of it, Cuniha's purchase you could tie to selling Gibbs-White too, had the deal for Guedes not been such a dud then Cuniha potentially isn't needed, we had a lot of peacocking about getting so much money from Forest, then spent close to 75 million on two players who I wouldn't want starting for us next season.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

You don't want Cunha starting for us next season?

 

[Wolvensam]

Cunha is a good player - he just needs a decent partner.

The play off winners will be cannon fodder, Everton won't materially improve other than not having Lampard for 2/3 of the season. Sheff U will be reliant on home form. Leeds if they stay up will be bought by the 9ers which could make them interesting

Fucking Podence. My word what a performance it was from him today. I have no idea how there’s still people out there who like him. Him and Sarabia were like playing with two twelve year olds

 

[White Wolf]

Maybe I'm getting this wrong but hasn't most of the noise come from Forest themselves? From what I can see the fans have always been on Cooper's side and even the media/pundits generally are supportive.

Forest's owners regularly putting out statements about Cooper and their performances, plus quite obviously looking for a new manager is where the noise has come from. I rate Cooper for doing a good job of keeping Forest up with a shit squad and the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head the whole time far more than I rate the owners.

 

[Tony Towner]

Keeping any newly promoted club up is a great job, particularly when they've come through the play offs. Add in the noise and he's done a fantastic job

 

[Alan]

I get not crediting Forest's owners for not sacking Cooper, but we see owners drop the axe without a plan for the next steps constantly. They were at least smart enough not to do that.
