What is the point? Just reporting what I was told from a good friend who knows Cooper well.
I am not talking about the situation now. They had a lot of money behind them when Brown was there, and it wouldn't matter if the crowd was 10. My mistake relegated from Conference, and just about to get relegated again.
Getting a bit frustrated know: It seems if you are not known as poster who comes on here often you know nothing, so lets say I'm just making up a load of bullshit, you are right, keep making the argument and have a nice day.
Earlier this season stood at Supermarine for the visit of FGR I was speaking to Dale Vince and Jez Webb, Mr Vince also spoke of the figure of £25K as the basic salary that cooper was on at STFC, this had many bonuses attached to it but that is what Dale said his wage was. So its certainly not the case of waving a magic wand and getting a man we all want for an average wage.

Of course it's not wrong! I can imagine he lives month to month, like most people in their 30s with a family. Why would he give up his income?
Anyway, primary point is it's not his decision to make and Power needs to step up. Every day that passes, every match, he loses more and more of the tiny amount of credibility he has. I've been one of his staunchest defenders, particularly regarding the non-football side of the business, but even I think he's being a fucking knob.
Spot on PP. Power should have acted months ago. The transfer window recruits haven't helped and it's been clear for months that something needed to change at managerial level and it hasn't happened.

You'd have thought. But then we said that about last night. And last Saturday. And the two derby games. Apparently not

I saw earlier a retweet that LW was appointed on 8th March 2016. There could be something in the contract that triggers another 12 months rollover or a release clause. Just a thought that either party are hanging on for something?

If he was going to be sacked, he would have done by now. Him and Power are in a stalemate, can't see why LW doesn't live - surely he's making himself unemployable for future jobs?

Wouldn't leave my job unless I had another one lined up. He'll need to be pushed.

Isn't it simply that LW has 4 yrs of his contract to run - and, therefore, the prospect of a pay off equal to 4 x annual salary if LP decides he has to go? Very few people would pass up the prospect of such a pay off by resigning. The root of the problem seems to be LP's rash decision to award such a long contract to an untested manager. I'll bet he now regrets it every day.

But if Power will not change his philosophy on how he wants the team to play - even in L2 - how many prospective managers would sign up for that.
We'll end up attracting the desperate, yes-Lee, whatever-you-say-Lee, candidates when what we need is a fuck-off-Lee-and-let-me-get-on-with-it type.
Problem is, Power wouldn't countenance that. We're stuck with the desperate, I'm afraid.

Power said in that Talksport interview that he gave Williams a 5 year contract as coach, and he's currently 2 years through. I might have misheard it though, anyone else hear that?

If I was a manager I'd go nowhere near town. Also the standard of player we can attract is crap. It is one cluster fuck. I think Williams and embleton will be there for div 4. If power was going to do anything he would have done it by now. We are fucked not only this season but next as well.
