I'd be happy with Cooper but he doesn't match the type of manager that Spors is on record as wanting, does he? Spors wants to play a "very high intensity" style of football... Cooper's approach is more conservative than that, I think?

He’s not the hipsters choice by any means

I see everyone's saviour for our club had a disappointing result at home to Oxford today.

Dismal today again at Hillsborough. 

No home win since 1st Jan.

Will drop Danny off at your place tomorrow.

Gotta love the “he’s going regardless so let’s pretend we don’t want him anymore” stance. Dont worry our fans do it too but surely you’re happy with how he’s done over the season, no? You’d have taken mid table this season surely bearing in the mind the mess he inherited last season?

We've been chasing that type of manager since Koeman.

And Koeman outright publicly said we need to spend and we have never been willing to spend money on the calibre of players to play THAT style of football.

Unless you've got a Paul Mitchell type knocking around the club and that ship has long sailed and never returned to port.

1) We played that style under Hasenhüttl and at for some spells it worked, and worked well. The 2020 calender year being the most effective period.

2) We have spent a lot. Last two Premier League seasons we've spent £260m+ on transfers/loan fees. That is a huge amount of money. But it was largely poorly spent.

3) Let's wait and see if Johannes Spors is that man!
