Why do people think Cooper will be sacked? Him and Power seem to have a good working realationship, no the end of the season wasn't quite as good as it could have been but frankly he has done brilliantly with what is at his disposal.
Can see him moving on if another team come for him, but sacked? No chance.
Here's how I see it ...
Cooper to leave for another club this close season ... Maybe but unlikely.
Cooper to be sacked .... Not a chance.
Cooper essentially plays bad cop to William's good cop. A move to no 1 would mean a chance in the dynamic between Williams and the players and wouldn't work easily, but this can be countered by the fact there would only be about 2 players left for next season who were here last. Also how many excellent no 2's fail to make it as a decent no 1?
Would replacing Coops if Power sacked him or he left be straightforward? I suspect not. A lot of established managers wouldn't want the interference Power has in players and tactics etc, hence meaning we could be left what the fans would consider another yes man. I do think we would now be an attractive proposition for managers to consider however.
