It saddens me that some supporters still think we overachieved last season. I will refer to a post I made in the summer:
Low budget or not, Cooper has had our most talented group of players for years - the leagues best 'keeper, youth international standard loanees, free scoring strikers and most impressively a set of midfielders comfortably worth over £5 million between them.
If he can't deliver a promotion with that lot, however commendable an effort last season was, I do not think the man will ever deliver one.
For that reason, and the fact Power has proven to be more than shrewd in the transfer market, I would not be devastated to lose Cooper. I would of course wish him well and I do not wish to sound like I am down playing what he has done, however I do not think he can take us any further.
Over achieved my arse, we had a superb side for this level and one that arguably should have joined the shitheads in going up automatically.
