Other club football

Yep, just confirmed by Five Live. Cooper gone.

Sounded like Vardy had a go at him after he was subbed yesterday, which has probably made the difference.

Hopefully his payoff bankrupts them.

It was a daft decision for Cooper to go there.

He will now have to take a Championship job, which is what he didn’t want in the first place.

Can't decide if I'm sad for Steve, or pleased that he's no longer associated with that shitstain of a club.

I expect Moyes will be their first call. He would be if I was them.

They tried hard to get Potter in the summer. As England has gone and they no longer have a points deduction hanging over them, I wonder if he’s indicated he’ll take it now.

They probably think they should be going for Guardiola.

Coventry wouldn't be a bad place for him if he's quick, would inherit a good setup with some talent and still localish too.

West Ham may be available fairly soon.

I doubt Potter wants Leicester, that squad is shit. Whoever goes there has to know there's a decent chance they get relegated, their first choice strikers are Vardy and Ayew.

I pondered that elsewhere.

If he got them promoted next season while Leicester suffered the ignominy of back to back relegations with the EFL having finally caught up with them for being cheating cunts and King Power having bailed, flogging the stadium to a 3rd party* leaving them potless and struggling to pay the rent and keep the lights on I would laugh my fucking bollocks off.

*no idea if this is possible but, y'know, fairyfuckingtales.

VAR down for the ipshit/scum game due to a fire alarm. Maybe we can enjoy the game again. Although Anthony Taylor is the ref which is worrying.

Chicago: Firestarter.

Worryingly Ipswich look really good. Or Man Utd are shit. Not sure. I think the Blue team might cause us problems next week.

Hopefully MGW/Anderson are fit for next week.

Chicago: Watching with Interest.

Whoever is running Leicester needs their head examining, if your going to appoint him then sacking Cooper after 10 games makes little sense, they are outside of the relegation zone, and whilst they lost yesterday it was to Chelsea, realistically how many points did they expect to have by this stage of the season? And if it really was because of player unrest then they are well and truly doomed already.

Still at least Cooper pockets a nice payoff.

This occured to me, too. Should be a decent game - Ipswich are no mugs. They look miles better than Leicester and Southampton.

He's been doing the same thing he did with us - attempt to sit back and soak up the pressure, don't press, and hope you can hold out and score on the break. I'm not saying that that's the wrong thing to do with the players he had at his disposal in both Premier League stints, but it's not very fun to watch and when he started with negative amounts of goodwill it was always going to be tough sledding.

It was clearly a bad appointment for Leicester, but keeping him longer would just be sunk cost fallacy.
