I don't like the idea that you delay the appointment so long that the incumbent just gets given it. For the good of Cooper you can't give him the job. He'll have the shortest honeymoon period imaginable and it does nothing for the fans to have any confidence in this season. Keep him as coach is you value him, but appoint someone else as manager.

I'd have been happier if he was just given it properly before Portugal, rather than getting the job by default through our board falling to secure a proper manager.

It does seem to be a case of delaying the inevitable, might as well just give him the job so everyone knows where we stand and the meltdown can commence.

to be honest Flash if we are basing our squad around spurs youth that HAVE to play in a Spurs formation it doesn't really matter who is called manager.
That's another reason why its important to understand if the above is true or bobbins.
We'll find out soon enough when the season starts. |

Prob stating the obvious, but waiting gives the board the option NOT to appoint him too. Tell the players he is caretaker until end of August if that makes them feel more secure. To be honest, I've been temporarily in charge of a team at work since January while a colleague gets cancer treatment. They don't give a fuck whether I'm there or she's there! All they care about is what they have to do and that they get fairly rewarded for it. |

I expected Cooper to be our next manager when KMac left.
Already on the wage bill and probably isn't going to get another football league managers job any other way.
If this is the route they take - then they could have done it 3 weeks ago. Like most I'd be interested to know how much say in transfers, formation and team selection Cooper has...

Done a great job at Franchise working on a budget similar to ours, they also play a system very similar to the way Jed & Power want us to play. He has turned down bigger jobs than us in the past though, but mainly because of not wanting to move away from the MK area. I would like him here, mainly though just to piss off my Father in law. |

He was in the executive seats at the home play-off game in May and seemed pretty chummy with Jed, maybe they already know each other? |

To be fair I think he has taken Franchise as far as he can, they seem in similar position as us in terms of cutting back and bringing in youngsters and loans.

Surely that would require compensation and I imagine a non-starter.
Unless he resigns from MK of course.

According to Wiki he turned out for some top class outfits - Caernarfon Town, Marine, Bamber Bridge, Oswestry Town, Rhyl, Kidsgrove Athletic, Prescot Cables, St Helens Town, Alsager Town, Warrington Town, Oxford United* So no, he didn't tans. *That one is made up. |
