an overrated manager with some history of achievement as opposed to an overrated manager with no achievement which would you take?

No need to answer


No history of achievement at PL level, so in that respect no different to RM at Swansea at the moment ?

Neither does Haaland, never won anything at PL level.

Personally I think the jury is out. He left us apparently because we would back him financially. This season Forest have backed him financially and they are bottom of the league. If he turns this around he will rightly receive the plaudits if not questions will be asked about his ability as a sustainable manager.


How do you know they backed him?

Backing him would be bringing in players he wants. Just buying every player available and handing him them to deal with isn’t really “backing him”.

He barely spent anything in the 3 seasons previous which saw great success, he’s already proven he’s an excellent sustainable manager.

I love the fact Cooper threads are out in force when his side loses (been rare in his career), yet when they win there is either silence or when he is praised we are told that this is a Swansea forum and to move on and stop discussing him…

The guys career speaks for itself, he will need many bad seasons for any genuine questions to be raised. Certainly won’t be judged on his first season in the PL at a club that appears far from “normal” in terms of a managerial environment.

I back common sense, it has nothing to do with Swansea. Vendettas against Cooper because he’s made people look very silly is doing the talking at the moment with common sense being an afterthought - that’s where I come in.

I didn’t compare anyone to anything.

I am making the point that not achieving anything after 8 games doesn’t mean you have failed. That’s the same regarding anyone; be that Haaland, Cooper, Conor Gallagher, Ben Davies.. anyone.

You not understanding the logic, which let’s face it happens far too often to be normal, does not mean it defies it.

If you would ignore me that would be far better for the site. Practice what you preach champ.

forums are where football fans are entitled to express their opinions often for those to be taken seriously they need to have some substance
imagine a CEO or chairman of a football club with 2 CVS on his desk
one of a manager who as manager in the leagues spent 3 seasons in the championship getting his team to the playoffs on 3 occasions achieving promotion to the PL on his third attempt whilst also taking his club from bottom of the league to the PL in that season. other achievement s winning a World Cup at your level.
The other cv is of a manager spending 1 and a bit seasons in Lg1 finishing mid table...followed by mid table mediocrity in Championship ...which do you think they would choose
sometimes we need to stand back from our emotions and prejudice and look at the facts

I agree and taken on your points.
Cooper has achieved wonders at Forest last season.
Yet to do anything in the PL
However yes if a club is looking for a manager and the choice is Cooper or Martin, then Cooper's stock is higher.
As a PL manager Cooper has had an inauspicious start and can be said to be at best unproven.
Martin is at least starting to drive Swans up the table now ( obviously at a different level ) so his achievements this season has so far been more successful ?

Cooper was successful in the England set up with no money to spend on players.
Reasonably successful at Swansea with a very limited budget.
Successful last season at Forest with a very limited budget.
Large budget expenditure at Forest in the summer bottom of the league.
Yes he could turn it around, but you have to question if he can manage when expenditure is involved.
Southampton want him as manager to develop their youngsters and academy players. With one of the best academies I think it would be a perfect fit for Cooper.

This situation is by no means unique to Cooper.
Managers have often achieved relative success on a tight budget, gone to one of the big clubs ( Moyes at Man Utd readily springs to mind ) and cannot repeat the success when given a much bigger budget.
Indeed perhaps Southampton would provide him with more success at PL level ?

He’s one of the best managers in recent seasons outside of the EPL and this season he will be judged at the top table.

Coopers problem is he is no longer outside the Premier league, can he manage players with the higher budget the Premier league brings.Time will tell.

We can only reflect on what has gone mate, he again writes his own story this season. I was never a big fan of his football, but can’t say anything against him regards the way he gets to where he wants to be.

He has been a professional top flight manager since June 2019. What he has achieved is remarkable. That’s just over three years as a name in the game with 159 games and over 50% win record. It’s incredible when viewed in that way.

This is why an excellent archive helps when referencing backwards.

True nobody can foresee the future and we can only reflect on the past, time will tell. I know for sure therefore is no way his next 8 games will reap the same number of points as his last. It has to improve.

My post was regards to something during a game, I can see why you would link it but it's a total different scenario surely?

Arguments are quite clearly going to return, the foundation is already being built and hypocrisy is only a small % of the whole picture unfortunately but there are certainly a few who have shown themselves up as hypocrites since Wednesday for sure.

I most certainly will not be getting caught up in this game that seems to be panning out already.

Sorry Vetch but I won't be going further from here with this one and as I say.....wont be getting caught up in the game.

Which posts do you have an issue with specifically?

It appears you are offended that people don’t have the same view as you? You think the mods need to step in on your behalf?

Always the same. Tiresome.

But I’m sure after recent events these games he plays will be watched far more closely now.

Unless you agree then apparently the mods need to step in, because of course any disagreement is seen as “arguing” if he can’t back his view.

This is a forum where people have differing views, those who can’t handle a different view and believe mods need to step in to get rid of those views then maybe a football forum isn’t for them?

Just a thought.
