Not a Forest fan but I feel for Cooper, hopefully he given more time to turn things around though I sadly think it's unlikely
If it hadn't been for Steve Cooper,
Nottingham Forest wouldn't be in this league.
Also he is in the mess now, ur post is pointless
They wouldn’t be in the championship, they were in the relegation zone when he took over last season
@@P.Rick316 yeah cuz he really asked for a new squad x2. het real, it's harsh and you know it
@@P.Rick316
Thirty two people disagree.
@@gazza2933 he may have got them to the Premier but also it looks like he is taken them back down. Facts don't lie
I see Forest and it reminds of when Villa got promoted and signed loads of players. They really improved towards the end of the season because the team were gelling. They stuck with their manager then and I hope Forest stick with their manager now.
They stayed up by a point on the last day and that was because of a freak failure of goal line technology.
@@clivet3252 and? they still stayed up.
@@ryancarlo9328 but when the margins are that fine then how can you say it was the right decision?
@@clivet3252 because they stayed up. Regardless of how close it was or how they got this and that, they stayed up. You can't dispute that. Fine Margins, but after 38 games, no one stays up through good luck. And I'm sure you can go through Villa's season then and pick out bad VAR decisions that went against them. As Brian Clough once said, 'After a season of football, you can't claim a team achieved by default.' The table sorts itself throughout the season and where you finish is almost always an accurate depiction of where your team faired that season and Villa faired out well enough to stay up. By that basic principle, the decision not to sack Dean Smith and to stay with him, bare in mind they got to a League Cup final too, was the right decision and resulted in them staying up. Nottingham Forest right now could very well be in a similar situation right now where the decision to stick with your manager keeps you in the league, regardless of how fine the margins.
@@ryancarlo9328 But they stayed up by a point! If you're talking about it being a similar decision then all it takes is one thing to go against them that didn't go against Villa and that could be the difference. They ended up sacking him anyway because they saw no improvement. Leeds sacked Bielsa and stayed up by a point, but Marsch has made them worse.
Am sure Rafa is not too fussed about Simon either.
To be fair he is slow bringing the drinks though.
Or 1000s of other people too. Video

radio chit chat...
I'm a lifelong Forest fan
Rain or shine I don't want anyone other than Cooper at the helm
He needs to make severe changes and players need sharp lessons but he's the man for me!
Time will tell for this team
Life long forest fan. Stevie Cooper is the only person I want managing my club
It's your chairman that'll send you down. It's clear Cooper hasn't okayed a number of those signings, many in the same position.
The board haven’t got a clue. Cooper is a good manager and the board have pretty much done him in with all these signings.
He was never qualified. This is the best league in the world, his fairytale championship run is over. He's been utterly exposed this season tactically
Good luck pal 👍🏻 mucha suerte con todo 💪 buena suerte amigo
Steve Cooper, well it's a shame for him as you can clearly see he was uncomfortable on camera, doing his best, trying to justify the number of signings. He's a football man, he knows 21 is too many. For starters it can feck up a dressing room ambiance.
Not all his signings. If they do go down - should stick with Cooper.
Rafa Benítez is a complete full bhoona narcissist and shouldn't be near a club like Forrest. All the very best to you pal ✝️💙🙏❤🇬🇧from Glasgow Rangers fan 💙
@@johnfulco8313 just out of interest…what would make him qualified then??
Forrest just need to find out what their best formation is; what their approach play should be; and what their best eleven is. Then play in a consistent way with a consistent eleven. Until they get team understanding, all their training should be based around their first eleven's team tactics and positional play to develop unity on the pitch. Sometimes it's better to have a small squad where the first eleven picks itself - as Lampard now has with Everton (Lampard had a huge squad at Chelsea which led to a rotation system, and this affected performances on thee pitch). Steve Cooper is the right man for the job, and has proven his abilities as a manager. You have to back the manager.
I agree with you 100% SC needs to stay with Forest even if the team is relegated.
Are you serious?
Worth noting that Olimpiacos have signed over 20 players this summer and are on their third manager already. Feel for Cooper.
Drink every time Simon says ‘narrative’
Still drunk from the last show...
“Substance” “square this circle”
@@michaelmckee2461 he's always waffling about the proverbial rope as well
context, optic etc etc etc, Jordan bingo pays out every time
Do you know what the word means?
Benitez is the definition of a mercenary. Not the type of character Forest would want after sacking Cooper (God forbid).
What other manager will come in and be all for forest it doesn’t work like that it’s a results game Forrest haven’t won in 8 games and they got a manager that’s been with the club a while once you step up to the prem it’s a different level
It might be enough to keep them up, though. You're not talking about dropping out of the play-off places in the Championship, you're talking about staying in the Premier League at all costs.
Remember when Simon Jordan said that Cooper was a Bridesmaid😂
Was that a nice way of calling him ugly?
Not a Forrest fan but Cooper deserves time. Simon bashes Rafa every chance he gets, the man has won the champions league and managed top clubs in Europe. Simon Jordan warning Forrest against Rafa, the same Simon Jordan who appointed the likes of Steve Bruce, Trevor Francis, Peter Taylor, Iain Dowie and then led them to administration. His judgement at best is questionable
It’s 2022. He won the CL in 2005. Cause he did good stuff before doesn’t mean he’ll do good stuff now.
He’s managed top clubs around Europe, Jordan has never worked with Benitez or any manager of his pedigree yet here he is bashing Rafa. He would have jumped at the change to have Rafa at palace under his tenure. It’s 2022 and Simon Jordan is 12 years out of football and it took less than that time to plummet palace into administration…..
@@Garzza3165 Do you know why he doesn’t like him? I’m sure he has good reason to and he’s very knowledgeable in that space behind the scenes.
Perhaps Simon has learned from his own mistakes to have such a point of view. I'm quite sure he has many regrets from the time but as long as he's learned from them he can offer such an opinion. I'd expect most of us have learned lessons from the actions we took in the 1990's. 🙂
Well he don't like Eddie Howe for not taking the Celtic job so maybe raffa also turned down Palace or Celtic job 😂
only manager Simon Jordan like is Stev Bruce and that say about that he knows about football.
I am a Forest fan and totally agree with Simon. We are in big trouble but would be foolish to get rid of Cooper ❤️🔴⚪️🌳⭐️⭐️
It's too soon to replace Cooper because there's still too many unanswered questions with regard to the unique situation of the clubs recruitment. The dust hasn't settled yet, it's messy and unclear. Injuries and interruptions have hampered progression with cohesion, the squad need time to gel together. They need game time. There's too much individual talent to dismiss them, they just need to get that talent to work as a team.
That's the manager's job. They beat West Ham in their second game and were getting praise for their performances. Things have got worse since the transfer window shut. It's okay talking about time, but they've already lost to the two teams who came up with them and the one team below them just beat them 1-0. Do you think he'll have the team playing well by the time they face Liverpool and Arsenal back to back?
@@clivet3252 We (Forest) were lucky to beat West Ham. Dean Henderson was the reason we won that game.
@@ajfraser7648 so you want him out?
It's not unique lol
@@markgarvey3879 Apologies, I forgot that every team in the premier signed 23 new players, my bad. I bow to your superior everything, you are amazing, I love you.
Simon, your bang on and I have enormous respect for you, love listening to you speak. Not sure about Cooper though, we’ve got to try and stay up and I’m not sure he’s got the ability and experience yet?
Everyone is talking about Sean Dyche but I hope there is a bag of cough sweets as part of his new contract
You a comedian? If not, you should be.
Freakin' hilarious. Good one.
Plenty of bricks and wood for the players to munch on.
Can’t believe Steve Coopers only 42. Hard paper round 🤣
Wow
I don't think he looks particularly old, just ugly.
His voice does not match his face, 42 wow😂
He looks more 52 that's paper rounds for you lol
He is welsh
It was clear to be competitive that forest needed new blood but 23 players! I can’t believe cooper has wanted or green lighted a lot of those it’s the owner and his arrogance that has done that. How many left backs did they get?! Just crazy
Sean Dyche would be a good person to come in and steady the ship. I reckon Wolves or Bournemouth will go for Dyche though.
I think wolves are gonna go back to Nuno cause he did so much there and they like him Bournemouth are hunky dory RN with their interim. Didnt Watford just sack their manager he would be great former Forest Green Manager
Wolves will appoint a Portuguese. Don't see Dyche taking Bournemouth. He is made for Forest, it's a crime they've still not made the appointment.
Forest are doomed man, they have Jesse Lingard as their main player pretty much haha. Dyche wouldn’t take that job if he was wise
Dyche is a Spireite hopefully not
Wolves will go Portuguese
We need to give Cooper more time. Horrific game Monday but he took us from the Championship in under a season after we'd been out of PL for 23 years. Almost impossible to bond a team overnite with 21 new players.
Bang on the money Simon,I don't always agree with you but on this I do.
When Coops was brought in it was supposed to be a long term project,steadying the ship in the Championship and then aiming for promotion.
The fact he achieved both in the same season was a miracle when you think back to where we was on his first day.
Any manager/coach would struggle to get a winning side together out of a squad of 22 new faces in just a couple of months,it's just not possible,especially as 8 of them came in AFTER the Newcastle game.
As a club we need to stick to the long term plan and that means sticking with Coops,Have we learned nothing over the last 23years?.
Simon, loved what your saying regarding cooper
Hoping Forest can stay up from a Villa fan.
Let us beat you tonight then please 🙏
Forrest becoming a yo-yo club for in the immediate future isn’t the worst thing and is actually progress as a club since it took them more than 20 years to get premier league football again. Keep Cooper and most of the players they singed Forrest are almost guaranteed to come back up if they get regulated just like Norwich, which is better than being huddersfield town
You need to get goldbridge on for his opinion on his club
Nottingham forest should of kept that team together and just added some real quality and experience to give themselves the best chance of survival and consolidating a place in the premier league. They have went well overboard with numbers instead of just bringing in 5 or 6, then maybe another 2 or 3 in Jan if needed. I like forest and hope they stay up, then hopefully my team Sunderland can join them in the premier league at some point
The number one priority for Forest this season is for us not to get relegated. Is the club owner, Marinakis, prepared to stick with manager Stever Cooper for a longer term plan even if it entails being relegated this season? I doubt it. Marinakis will only give Cooper so long to turn things around. Marinakis is probably giving Cooper enough rope (matches) to hang himself, as the expression goes. I don't feel Cooper will turn things around sufficiently within the next few matches. This will cause the fanbase to turn, and I am anticipating Cooper getting sacked before the end of October. I like Cooper and I want him to do well, but things really are getting to a critical point. Things need to improve quickly for him. If Forest are to change manager this season it should be done no later than mid November, imo.
The ideal candidate would be Dyche
However would he want to work for the owners ?
If they could make an agreement on working together and stick to it then maybe
Benitez is a great manager who Forest wouldn't turn their nose at. However, u can't just bin Cooper off considering that he has had to replenish his squad with loads of players (doesn't know his best 11).
Rafa at Wolves would actually work well...
I agree about Benitez to Wolves. They had success with boring and crap football under Nuno Santo, and that is Benitez strong point.
It's his problem if he doesn't know his best 11.
I hope they do keep hold of Cooper he's just what forest need, this season they should just worry about staying up and once the players settle they can push on from next season because they have some very good players in the squad now but signing 20+ players was always going to be hard no matter what manager you have, as a Newcastle fan I'd rather have Cooper over rafa, since we got howe we've been amazing and I think Cooper can eventually do the same for forest he'll just need a bit more time.
Instead of signing 21 players, Forest should have signed 7 quality players for £20m each and looked to retain some of the loan players. Last season's Championship team would beat the current Premier League every single time. It's not a good watch.
I'm a villa fan. I second the sentiments by that Aston Villa fan.
Stick with Cooper. Even go down with him. He'll have the club back up again within 3 years. Particularly with the squad Forest would retain. 👌
Possession and good build up play means nothing if you can't covert your chances into goals it's about putting the ball in the net because teams with good strikers don't miss many goal scoring opportunities that is the difference between winning and loosing
If Forest get relegated and Benitez leaves at the end of the season then the perfect man to get Forest promoted next season is.....Steve Cooper!
Thank you for sticking up for Cooper, he needs time.
I agree with Simon. However, it does have to be said that Steve Cooper isn't giving himself a chance. Every single team selection thus far this season has been appalling, and the obvious weaknesses are not being addressed.
Rafa is the ultimate excitement destroyer...I feel sorry for any clubs fans who have to watch his dribble
In before the Toon army shows up to attack you.
It was terrible to see him at inter after the Mancini and mourinho years
@@colinedelman6392 yea he destroyed Inter in a year
@@marcfrizelle7851 No he didn't it was an old side that Mourinho got the best of, they needed a complete rebuild
@@marcfrizelle7851 he also destroyed Madrid in less than 6 months smh but tbf he did a good job in Napoli
Any West Ham fans gutted Lingard wanted none money? Nope.
For the amount of time he spent at United I only remember one period of consistancy where he played well and was involved in goals, this was under Mourinho but it didn't last long and was over 4 years ago.
He's all about his own brand, someone has to be I suppose.
Two touches in the second half, one of those was a booking
Newcastle fan here, not a fickle or naive fan I’d consider myself level headed. When Rafa was in charge I felt like we were beyond lucky giving time to watch his career as he left and reflect, he’s made some questionable choices, and spoken to ex footballers coaches who have said Rafas man management was horrendous, going to Everton was the straw that broke the camels back in my opinion. I don’t buy this “the man’s gotta make a living” rubbish, I think Rafas best days are behind him.
I heard at everton his assistant coach would give a suggestion to defend set pieces as we was dead last under Rafa and he completely ignored him saying he’s wrong, even tho the year before was top 3 for set pieces defensively, this year we’re so far number 1, Rafa is finished and has been for a very long time
I think it would be really harsh on Cooper to get rid of him already, he's shown in his career how good a manager he can be. Does it ever go well from the start when you bring in as many as 20 players in one go? That's never been a good idea for a newly promoted side, they always struggle.
Im not a expert on Forest.. but id say from outside that he isnt premier league level manager.. yes did well in championship but same as Neil Warnock.. not premier league level. They should get Someone like Sean Dyche in
Steve Cooper did a good job last year in the Championship but now he need to be SACKED. Forest need to go to the next level and that is not with Cooper.
Cooper still doesn't change tactic when it's required and that for me is that it's time to GO!
Woah slow down kid... not a forest fan but do you realise that without Cooper you could have been playing league one football this season !! Ungrateful....
@@aminckone. I'm a Forest fan but people like you need to Stop to be too sentimental. Steve Cooper is not performing, he need to go. Have much better manager out there, even more with the good quality players they have.
The moment they bought a tiktoker!!! I knew they were not going anywhere!!
As an Everton fan who hates benitez, am not going to slag him off to much because I know others have a different opinion on him, for me he was awful he's a control freak. He sold our two most creative players in James Rodriguez and digne even though I'll give him his due he brought in Patterson and mykolenko, he is well known for being a pain in the ass with the board everywhere he goes, players arnt allowed to speak up, digne questioned his tactics in a professional way and he dropped him and sold him. John Terry on a interview with sky also went on to say they were going over tactics and he was talking about Liverpool but he kept saying we, Terry said gaffer the lads don't really like you saying we about Liverpool coz we are we now and he dropped him and never played him again, Newcastle fans love him because at the time they had a dick head in charge and he would go against them but his football is diabolical and am sure Newcastle fans would also admit that
Forest need to get Family man Steve Bruce in, 1000+ games as a manager and has a family
Please please please from a Wba fan
and a tasty kebab included
Forest fan here not sure what's going off at my club but 100% we should stick with Cooper even if it means going down.
Simon bang on as always. Annoying saying that as a Brighton fan, but he is just consistently right.
Forest should be a lesson for Championship clubs. While you may go out and sign lots of players on loan that will get you promoted you will be starting from scratch when you go up in the hardest league in the world. If the plan was to get promotion get the players in then hopefully bounce back after you have been relegated and learn from the experience then fair enough. But from the owners comments that is not the case, he seems to think that he can buy a squad that will in a short term win him trophies.
There is nothing wrong with getting one or two players in on loan, particularly if you can get an option to buy, but if the bulk of your players are loan players in key positions then you are going to struggle. the only thing going in Forests favour this season is the World Cup break when Cooper (if he is still in charge) will get a month to work with these players in the hopes that the second half of the season can be better. In a normal season forest would be going down after this start.
“Looks like a rabbit in the headlines” 😂
So you’re telling me Jesse Lingard (aka Messi Lingard) didn’t make the difference 🤯😳
Fucking to right. Look at the table
could they not have used a better pic of steve cooper? lol
I mean you wouldnt do that on playstation....buy 15 players for 150 million like what??
It's so hard to stay up in PL....fulham and bourmouth started ok but i still have them being relegated by the end....
Arteta, at Arsenal, struggled initially, Man U are struggling. Give Cooper a fair go. C'mon you Reds! Mike in Oz
Sean Dyche lives a few miles away from Forest!
Signing all those players was ridiculous. You can only play 11 players at once, Sheffield United and Leeds had successful first seasons by keeping the core of the promotion team. All you need to do is get the best quality you can find to fill the weakest positions in the team. Steve Cooper has to take responsibility. He's agreed to all these players coming in and if he's too weak to say no then he's too weak to be a successful Premier League manager. If he's ruthless enough to drop his skipper because he doesn't think he's good enough for the Premier League then he can have no complaints if the owner decides he's not good enough.
@ Clive T. The core of the team were mostly loan players and Samba who wanted to go back to France because he felt unloved or waay undervalued, which I think he was.
WE need to keep him.
It's messed up. Cooper brought you up. Villa had a similar thing were we got promoted but had a few loanees that were vital to our team. Tammy Abraham being the main example, he scored 26 goals that season. But I think its not just that amazing contribution, its team spirit. Forrest had that last season, showed it in the Championship and the F.A Cup. You've bought some quality players but it takes time to build a spirit and understanding. It's 8 games in. Give him at least half the season. You're 6 points off tenth. Thongs can change quickly especially at this time of the season. Villa stayed up on the last day even though we spent alot of money.
It’s reckless for a team like forest to splash so much in short time. What happens if they get relegated?
We come straight back up with a great squad....
no way look what he did to Everton.
@@Sccoppe if it were Evertons fault how did Lampard keep them up?
@@Yeah.316 he nearly got them relegated too
@@catscantfly look what he is doing right now
He did that to Everton ? 😂
Thanks for reminding me.
Forest need to sort their defence out. Focus entirely on becoming hard to score against. Bournemouth have done it already, after losing 9-0!
It was ridiculous signing all those players and expecting it to click immediately
Yes but they had to!!! They had a lot of players out of contract and on loan so needed to buy to have a squad
@@chesh184 I get they had to get players in but they have went for quantity over quality
They still haven't been absolutely hammered can be turned around
Where is Big Sam? Why is he not mentioned with every club that loses a game?
Actually agree with Simon Jordan for once - Cooper has to stay, not only does he deserve more time due to the miracles he worked last season getting us promoted, but what happens if we get someone new in and the bad spell continues? How long until they go and yet another manager comes in? As a forest fan we’ve seen that quickly overturning managers isn’t a sustainable or effective way to run the club. It’s taken 23 years to find a manager who understands and loves the club as much as we do, so if he goes how long will it be until we find the next? Give him time, he’s the man for the job.
2 seasons ago NF were in the relegation zone. Last season they overachieved with the same players…. But a new manager. So they spent some money, but fundamentally they are an average team in the championship. The future of NF is the championship.
You can't blame Benitez for Newcastle being really legated that season tho whatever you think of him as a manager they were in a perilous position when he took the job from what I remember and the landscape at Newcastle then was completely different to what it is now I ain't saying Benitez is a good fit for forest or Cooper should be sacked either they would've be there if it wasn't for him after all would they really 🤣 I personally think Sean dyche would be ideal for any struggling epl club currently looking for a manager so thats wolves at the moment but it depends on what happens at forest I suppose its hypothetical atm?
Na I think they would still have been pretty legated regardless
@@tsampson6660 are you referring to Newcastle pal are you basically saying you agree with me they would of been relegated regardless that season Benitez did take over very very late in the season I seem to recall so it wasn't on him that they went down imo and he did get them promoted and kept them up for a while so overall he did a good job there for me anyway 😁
Normally teams that gets promoted are relegated straight back, that is just the nature of the premier league
l can see Sean Dyces as nottingham forest manager after the world Cup.
I used to like benitez at Liverpool for what he won but then realised he was a but of a fool for some of the things he did and said, like trying to get rid of a quality player like alonso and replace him with a second rate player like Gareth Barry, then there was a time he spent something like 200 million on players but moaned he wasn't getting the backing he wanted
Is Simon ever positive. Always on the negative side of any argument
You're right about that but for Talksport that's exactly what they want
He’s sticking up for the manger at Forest which is right I think. Hardly on the negative side.
Some people got such preconceptions
Like Cooper hope he does well
Martin O’ Neil ex Forest player could be a good addition to sort out the squad at Forest
Been there there got sacked
He's too old now.
Would rather get relegated to league 2 then have him anywhere near managing the club.
From David Forest fan since 77 I'd rather have Rupert Bear than Rafa Benitez in charge and our own Pavarotti MARINAKIS needs to step off else it's gonna be like Al Fawaz in charge again I'm surprised he has tried to off load some of his crap Olympiakos donkeys on us again Steve Cooper chose about 6 of those 22 new players for Forest I'm bloody fuming cause most of em couldn't even scratch themselves without a manual If we get out of this it will be the greatest feat ever in football I'm backing Steve he deserves our backing
We need to keep Cooper

Steve Cooper belongs at Nottingham Forest whether Forest stay up or get relegated. The fact is there are too many over priced players at Forest only interested in their wages. The alarming thing for is when you see players arguing before they've even kicked a ball. I strongly feel that SC didn't get a say in what players he wanted there. He's effectively been screwed over
If your a forest fan you have to ask yourself are you happy with being bottom all season and going down a back up with cooper then ride it out but you can’t say Benitez wouldn’t come in and make a difference it never worked for him at Everton due to how successful he was at liverpool it’s a no brainier
Harry McGuire is to blame for Forest's downfall
18 new signings! Too many!
I cannot claim to be an expert but signing 21 players at the start of a season is never going to work.
Forest remind of the time I was a kid for my birthday I wanted the new FIFA that was £40 and my Gran thought she'd go to Game and buy 6 janky pre owned games instead for the same price.
Or in Career mode where you sell a player for so much and buy like 7 players. They got 24, that's way more extreme.
If they keep him they’re going down. It’s as simple as that unfortunately.
Maybe Cooper made to many changes to fast Forrest last year had good results against Arsenal Leicester and Liverpool I agree bring in better quality players but have some faith in the squad that got promoted
The chairman has brought all those players in.
Who are Forrest?
I'll never get why so many people overlook the fact that managers and coaches, like athletes, have their primes when they are most effective and then they go past that. There was a time when Rafa was a good tactician and a safe pair of hands for a prem club. That time has passed. It happens to everyone.
Some never had a prime, Steve Bruce for example. The man steals a very, very good living as a so-called football manager. Money for old rope, sign contract, achieve nothing, get sacked, win the lottery. A dream job if you're lucky enough.
Bruce did decent jobs at Blues and Hull. He was in line for the England job at one point
@@user-dq6se6er8j Steve Bruce has him limitations but he has a good promotion record and was one of those managers you could rely to at least do no worse than average, which isn't bad when you consider how many managers with decent reputations mess up.
I think you can become too experienced and you lose that instinctive edge that makes you one of the very best. I think mid 40s to early 50s is a manager's prime. They can still be very successful after that period, but that's where they peak. Rafa would only have to keep Forest up, it's not like he has to win trophies like at Liverpool.
Depends on the players you're working with though, doesn't it? Rafa's had 4 PL jobs: Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton. Won European trophies with the first 2. He took on a relegation-threatened Newcastle & couldn't save them from the drop, but he didn't abandon them - stuck at it & got them back to being a respected PL side. Everton was a disaster for him because of their extensive injury list last season. It's no accident that Everton & Leeds brought in lots of new players over the Summer - both clubs are terrified of being plagued by injury again.
Simon is great
Oh and by the Simon, not that you will give care but in 2015-16 when we got relegated. Wolly Brolly had 28 league games and got 24 points. Rafa got 13 points in 10 games. Please apply context. We may have gone down under Rafa but we didn't get relegated because of him. If we had got Rafa in earlier, Palace most likely would have gone down as they were in freefall at the start of 2016
Tell me, people, how is Simon's mate Steve Bruce doing these days. What a manager Steve is eh?
Jordan is spot on
He needs time and owners behind him.
He just signed a new deal though right
You got to wonder why bring in so many players
The owners have made a complete balls up of it, Cooper hasnt had enough say in recruitmemt, but we are where we are and I'm afraid the performances are getting worse not better. I'd love us to stay up under Cooper, but there's nothing to indicate he has a grip on the situation.
Have to agree with Simon Jordan re Cooper. Benitez would be a disaster of an appointment
At the end of the day. Forest went about it all wrong. You can't sign that many players in one window.
Be quiet Simon! Rafa Benitez was more successful as a manager than you were as a club chairman. He won cups in almost every club he managed. He would have been knighted by now if he was English.
Failed Club Owner dislikes successful Coach.
Simon Jordan likes people like Steve Bruce but not Rafa Benitez… go figure !!
They should appoint Tim Sherwood as their coach in my astute opinion 🤔⚽
150 spend on what 14 15 players they'd of been better of buy 4-6 quality over quantity.
