Steve Cooper will always be the MAN!

Horses for courses I reckon. Cooper was the perfect manager for us in his first two years for what we needed but there is still a huge question mark over his ability to take a team forward in the Premier League.

In contrast Nuno probably couldn't have worked the miracle Cooper did but certainly has a lot more experience in progressing a team at this level.

Cooper did a great job but hit his ceiling, Nuno has a higher ceiling. It was the correct decision to move Steve on when we did, we are seeing that in the team we are now.

Without asking you to break confidences - do you know Vardy was involved for sure?

Vardy bad mouthing does fit the Cooper finding big personality legacy players difficult to manage narrative.

But it would be lazy journalism to talk to Vardy or his people and just take his word for it .
I'm always a bit suspicious of people who say people round here are saying bad things but I'm not of one them.
Usually translates to I was saying bad things bit I'm too cowardly to admit it.

Those writing the pieces - example the Althetic Leicester guy will be fairly ITK., although it wouldn't' be first time a journo has been duped And others could just repeat his line as they expect him to be ITK . Maybe he was protecting his access to the showbiz Vardies.

No I don’t know anything for sure, I was just following the same logic as you did. The third time I read “Cooper had issues with players (not Vardy though, who is a great professional and a lovely bloke and definitely not a gobby chav) which led to his downfall” it was pretty obvious who the “source” was……

The one with the wannabe celeb wife who probably has a dedicated PR team maybe?

Your faith in journalists’ professionalism is sweet, but it did make me laugh.

Cooper never managed to build up a coaching team. There was just Reidy and Tate, and they were both beginners really. There was no set-piece coach for ages, no S&C specialist etc.

You can succeed as a one-man band in the Championship, but the Prem is always a struggle if you’ve got a cymbal strapped to both of your knees.

Hopefully Nuno’s ceiling is winning a third European cup

Leicester fans feeling good about Ruud?

That's quite some ceiling. Even God / BC only got two, so for Nuno to get three .... I can't wait. Forest truly are magic.
