Audrey's been right before. JS.

Imagine the meltdown if Cooper did get the job. It would have been biblical.

Why? He did a good job whilst here. 2 good seasons and had a bad start to the 3rd...

Two sides. You can say he did well but in my eyes he should have done better, we should have been promoted with the players at his disposal. We had a league 1 teams worth tens of millions based on future transfer fees, id put it out there that it was one of the highest valued league 1 team ever. Whether it was him picking the team and tactics etc etc he had the title of manager.

Haha, I'd love to see a breakdown of that calculation

Nathan Byrne (Sold to Wolves £1m+?
Massimo Luongo and Ben Gladwin (Sold to QPR £3.5m)
Ryan Mason (Sold to Hull £13m)
Louis Thompson (Sold to Norwich £1m+?)
Alex Pritchard (Sold to Norwich £8m)
Nicky Ajose (Sold to Charlton £800k)
Jacob Murphy (Playing for England u21 still at Norwich)
Jack Stephens (Southampton 1st Team  and England u21 international)
Jordan Turnbull (Coventry paid an undisclosed fee)
Brad Smith (Sold to Bournemouth £6m)
John Swift (England u21 International free transfer to Reading from Chelsea. If sold now worth millions)
Kevin Stewart (1st team Squad for Liverpool)

Along with the above we also had our own players than were of high value in 2013-2015 which would have attracted fees if sold.

Wes Fodderingham
Nathan Thompson
Yaser Kasim

We also paid money for players like Luke Rooney, Michael Smith and Lawrence Vigouroux.

The calibre of players available to Cooper was unbelievable. Young international players that have gone for huge transfers within a year or two of playing for us.

Just as easy to argue that Cooper helped develop them to be worth money.  One thing for sure, is that we haven't been able to acquire similar talent for the last couple of seasons... hence the change of direction to a more traditional
 model.

Not really, transfer fees are factual (give or take undisclosed). Attributing their career moves to Cooper is based on nothing that guess work and opinion- of which I find quite funny if that is yours.

I always try to entertain... in my world if player x worked with Cooper and subsequently becomes worth value y,  then it is on the spectrum of possibilities to consider that he may have helped along the way.

It is just as likely as your assertion, that as a collection of players subsequently worth y, failed to achive promotion under his tenure then he must be useless.

Not one of the most valuable L1 teams ever though surely.

Think of the teams down here in recent years, particularly the likes of Wolves, Southampton and Norwich. They had millions of pounds worth of talent (and probably wages).
