But my prediction is that should Nuno get the bullet, the first man that the Big Man will call will be.......Steve Cooper.

No chance.

Marinakis seemingly couldn’t deal with the adoration of Steve Cooper from the fans and the bond he had with them.

And I’m sure Coops has a bit more sense than to rejoin this shitshow.

But they aren't.

Nuno is dealing with exactly the same problems Cooper was struggling to deal with - On the pitch, on the training ground, off the pitch and off the training ground.

He started to try to deal with them in a different way but has gradually worked backwards to trying to cope in a similar way to Cooper.

It's almost as if it wasn't the manager that was at fault for the poor results.

Cooper knew that the only way to get a tune out of the team was by building team spirit. Well that alongside a low block and the counter attack.

Nuno came in, and tried to play a more expansive game, which worked a couple of times, but he has now reached the same position cooper got to, in as far as he doesn’t trust the players to play football so is trying to dig a result out of negative dire football.

The issue Nuno has is that he doesn’t have the same bond with the fans, and the players seemed to love playing for cooper. They don’t seem to feel the same for Nuno.

This is all on Evangelos. He gambled and it has backfired massively. Nobody thought cooper was gonna get us into Europe but we had more chance staying up than we do now

Agreed on Coops turning it down.

But the Big Man has the stones to actually do it. He is cold blooded but he does have a romantic populistic trait in him and the apparent very cordial ending that Coops and the Big Man had that day would be on his mind.

Its the most Marinakis move of them all. He knows it would instantly raise 75% of the fanbase and instantly restores a siege mentality in the crowd again.

But as much as he loved it here, surely Coops isn't that mental.

I think Nuno needs to see the season out

Last thing we need right now is to sack him and leave the club managerless

That's exactly what sent Leicester down last season

Agreed I don't think twisting at this stage is worth the risk however I currently couldn't give a shit if its him or someone else managing us next season

Marinakis has too much of an ego to accept he made a mistake and ask Cooper to tango again.

Love Steve Cooper and will follow his career from afar but he's not coming back to Forest any time soon. Leave it as a beautiful memory. Like many others I was slightly relieved when he was put out of his misery purely for the reason I worried for his mental health if he stayed. He didn't deserve it.

Also for the record I don't think he'd have done any worse than Nuno in the last 13/14 games.

Syrianos. Mendes. Michel at Oly.

I could understand if he never looked back before but he clearly is capable of it.

I don't often do wild predictions but this one i'll happily take flack for, Evangelos Marinakis would absolutely give Steve Cooper a call should he decide to get rid of Nuno.

Thats my wild prediction for the season.

I've had that thought. The scenario I thought about would be relegation dependent. But I could see it be an outside chance.

Not that the Big Man would ever have the foresight to think about the worst case scenario, but if we get whacked with 6+ points on Monday, fail to beat Palace and Fulham at home, Nuno will either walk or get whacked.

Even if we cough up a draw or two in the next few games at some stage we might have to start thinking about doomsday and decide on who would be better in the Championship, would Nuno even for a second consider it? Or, just like Michel at Oly who brought so much success to the Big Man that he just had to bring him back (to give him a 2nd bullet) why not choose the man who got us promoted, kept us up and has a bond with the fanbase that has not been seen since Brian Clough?
