Listen to me!!!
Cooper an awful manager. Would be a huge underwhelming appointment and desperate from our point of view

[Albion] Steve Cooper.

Come on. He's not awful. Generally his results have been good. It's more the style of play that's a little questionable.

Cracking post then
Disagree completely. He could be exactly what we need. He is apparently a good motivator, which our players are probably in need of - our team has spent six months in relegation form thanks to a manager who believed all the hype surrounding him, influenced two of the worst value signings we've probably ever made, and chose to whine to the press and whore himself to any big club paying attention to him.
I'd take Cooper over another half season like that.

It might be good for the players to have a more stable personality around the club. I would be up for this one instead of one of the managers from lapland.Good choice for me
Life’s too short….
Trying to get ready for work….

I still think they may go for Rob Edwards if we don't go for a foreign coach.
Young, has some experience in the Prem, comes across well - to me he would fit the TB mold (if there is such a thing).

I would prefer Rob Edwards over Cooper, I prefer the more attacking intent by Edwards and was impressed how he motivated Luton to come out fighting most matches.
Actually out of all the managers mentioned lately, he is my preferred choice.

We don't know for sure that he isn't part of our succession planning! The club very much keep schtum about who is on their list.
A massive downgrade on what we've had? In the table for the second half of the season, we were 4th or 5th from bottom. The worst six months since the six months that got Hughton sacked.
Do we really want another coach who does 18 months and then downs tools despite being heavily backed and fully aware of the limitations of the job he took?

It’s just unsupported and unsubstantiated media garbage. Yesterday Potter. Today Cooper. Tomorrow whoever else is currently out of work

this is sooo funny for the people who want potter back (me). You reap what you sow I’m afraid.
Tactically, it has to be a massive downgrade.
RDZ threw a massive strop due to injury and recruitment issues and was unable to inspire his team to play well. He demonstrated this by refusing to play his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation and tactics because he didn’t believe he had the personal to do it (he was probably right). But with the right players, we’d have done an awful lot better.
I was looking forward to an evolution of Dezerbiball with the recruitment of McKenna but if Cooper comes, it’ll surely be an evolved form of Hughton’s tactics. My hopes for a top 10 finish would be dashed and I’d be praying for a repeat of 11th (although expecting 15th).

Agree. Either Rob Edwards or failing that, Liam Rosenior.
Cooper much more proven than rosenior !!

Exceptional at England youth levels (all be it with strong squad) and actually won things. Very decent at both his senior Champ/PL jobs too. Agree if he was Italian or German and had catwalk looks, many on here would be more positive.
He strikes me as the best of the rest. There are 9 huge clubs in PL these days and we would be signing someone who's done more than Mckenna at Ipswich has yet. Potter lurking in the shadows another similar level who's certainly tainted to us. Certainly not the type those 9 would be expected to hire. I know chelsea took Potter and them and united looked at Mckenna but those clubs are not well run lately compared to the other big7.
We could do far worse, but I'll be slightly disappointed if we get our match in him as a best of the rest rather than some exotic and exciting, hardly any of us have heard of, manager from abroad via algorithms.
