Completely agree, however. There is the paradox of if he wasn't constrained by our budget he wouldn't have been forced to find unearthed gems like your Kasims, Galdwins etc or even possibly used the Tottenham link as much as we have. But I'd like to think Cooper would have taken this route anyway and used the extra money to get one or two experienced heads in on top.
Power openly admits he does all the recruitment and brings the player in so I think the credit for 'unearthing gems' goes to him same with the Spurs link as he was obviously mates with Sherwood.
Coopers done alright but I still think Luke Williams has been the key component and instrumental in our style of play, whenever you see player interviews it's always his name that gets mentioned.

Cooper's success also shows that young managers need to be given another chance even after one disaster (Posh in his case) as they can learn from these experiences and improve. The problem of course is fans rarely react well to such appointments, and lets face it if Cooper had come straight in after PdC we'd have been up in arms. Indeed Mike Newell may have even been more popular.

Some managers only show their best when working under constraints.

Give them money to spend and they aint got a clue on player recruitment.

or managging a big club, I'm sure a nice list can be made there, Russell Slade springs to mind does well at Orient, goes to Cardiff expected to do well and is not doing that well - Cardiff fans still dont understand why he got the job
