I thought coopers appointment was a good one at the time a manager with league experience but he has issues we never knew when he was appointed he holds grudges with players and you could see he had lost the dressing room some of his selections and tactics have baffled a lot of fans but something no one has hit on is the guy lost someone very close to him and we dont know how this has affected him mentally as most of us have had in our lives so thanks for your time and effort mark and good luck in the future

However, I have been thinking for a few weeks that Cooper seemed unhappy and that probably there would be a mutual parting at the end of the season. It has happened sooner than I expected. With the odds on survival still slightly in our favour (on the balance of probability) it was a big decision to make.
That's what I was saying thinking he would stay till.end of the sesson.hopefully.keeping us up.and him walking away saying distance etc was the reason he left

No one can doubt the intentions of the board so whatever happens I will be grateful.

The chopping and changing of Managers has shades of the season we were expelled.
This may sound silly but I would see if Neil Warnock would come here for the remain ing games it's about retaining our league status.

It's not time to trust people like Jason Taylor as much as he loves the club.
Warnock has the best record in the EFL at saving clubs in danger of relegation

Phil Brown showing as 4 to 1 on in the betting.
Is there any substance in this? It’s very short odds without any inside info.

Surely won’t be Phil Brown, that would be a disaster.

Get Andrew Carson back in a consultancy capacity to pick the new manager. Come find us the new Evatt AC!

Have you checked the date on those odds? I looked yesterday and it was for before Cooper was appointed.

Im inclined to agree. Not great performances but he'd have kept us up amd could have built next season.
Not sure where that confidence comes from. A totally unexpected win at Northampton and an uninspiring win at Scunthorpe (who had gone long ago) and FAC aside they’ve been our highlights for…..???

The thought of keeping him here for another season (even if we did stop up) sends a shiver down my spine.
"The thought of keeping him here for another season (even if we did stop up) sends a shiver down my spine." agree, the decision to part ways had to come,now better than later. Good luck to you Mark-so sad it never worked out.

Personally I would like to see a Rob Kellyesque type manager to take over who is able to motivate players..I don,t think the team is that bad ,but with the constant tinkering with the set up.of the team it has destroyed any confidence the team may have had and also leaving out the likes of Sea who has obviously got talent.You cannot hold grudges you have to play your best available players and I think sometimes that is why we have not had our best eleven on the pitch.I just hope whoever we get can reignite the enthusiasm in this team.Something has to have happened for us from.playing quite well at the first part of the season to find us in the situation we are now in.

They're exactly the same names as last summer - it's just a copy and paste job, as they've got to start their market somewhere. There's probably not a single bet has been made yet, and as soon as someone puts £2 on x, they'll rise to favourite.

It's not gonna be Phil bloody Brown.
