    I think it is highly unlikely that none of those managers want to come. It is still a well paid job in the Premier league with the likelihood that if it goes wrong no one will blame you, it would be blamed on the situation.

    Any outright failure damages a manager’s brand. Even if it just shows poor judgement in taking the job in the first place.

    There are only 20 slots to manage in the Premier League, everyone wants one.

    Still waiting for suggestions of a coach/manager with a recent record of bucking those sort of odds, with this sort of squad, who would be available for us.

    None of us know who is available to us. It's a fair bet that if one of the names floating around- Lopetegui, Potter, Austrian chap - was, Cooper would be fine already.

    All of the indication from those with a line inside the club are saying that Marinakis is giving Cooper every chance to turn this around, so I don't think I agree with that.

    Nope. Love Joe too. No idea what has happened there but it is very sad.

    He's a vastly superior player to Boly, but for some reason the fans decided to pin the Luton debacle entirely on him - in part because Cooper chose to make him the lightning rod for that blame. I would expect a new manager to bring Joe back into the fold immediately, which is another argument to add to the Cooper Out column.

    The two Luton goals were scored because Worrall lost his man both times.

    The two Luton goals were scored because Cooper decided to change the balance of a team that was cruising to a win. And if we're putting players under patios for fucking up we'd have about 6 players available for selection right now, given we're conceding almost 2 per game.

    The line for the past year or more has been he wants someone better but can't attract one.

    We can persuade Ibrahima Sangare, Keilor Navas and Jesse Lingard to join the club, but we can't find anyone decent interested in managing it? Nah, not buying that. Managing in the Premier League is pretty much the pinnacle of football.

    I thought it was more thst he didn't think they were better than Cooper. That view may have changed.

    He sounds like a genius, I take it back! Perhaps he can play up front against Bournemouth too ;)

    Yes but where's the progression? Same old caps lock just isn't taking us forward to a brave new world.
