I bet Cooper can't believe his luck - well and truly on the scrap heap with no Football League club daring to touch him, he then takes a gig at crisis club Telford before getting the assistant role here. Few months down the line, he is given a two year managerial role here.
Best thing to come out of today was the chairman again repeating the objective for the season - promotion.
I'll support the manager, but lets be honest, it's a very under whelming and dare I say it, crap, appointment isn't it?
How can you say it's a crap appointment? Only time will tell us the answer to that. At this moment in time the bloke has presided over 4 games - give him half a chance FFS For a few on here he seems to be guilty of not being someone else - hardly fair

Meh.
Have to laugh at all the clowns (and there were plenty of you) who thought Tisdale would come here. We do have some mugs in our ranks.

Always knew he would get the job Cheap option and in situ - upside is players seem to be ok with him so fingers crossed he does the business
Cant say I share Jeds optimism of promotion, would love to be proved wrong but somehow cant see it happening I guess a top half finish would be a decent season
We undoubtedly have some talented players - whether Cooper has the ability to hone those skills and improve the players is an unknown quantity. Personally I dont think he has but prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and till xmas See where were lie then

Many seem underwhelmed but no one has really put forward a name (other than Tisdale who was unlikely to ever come here).
There may have been candidates queuing up for the position but would any of them have actually gone down better than Cooper. We were always highly unlikely to get a manager currently employed. Would seem mad paying compo when we're still trying to cut the playing staff.

Surprised at a two year contract, cannot see any logic in that. No new coaching staff to come in so does that mean Ward is likely to step up to be assistant following his new two year deal yesterday?
I'd have been a little more comforted by the appointment if we'd appointed an experienced cone collector like Mike Walsh.

I assume the Walsh bit is in jest....Walsh had been brought to these parts as cone carrier for McMahon, went when he did then hung about mostly on the piss for a few years, until Kingy needed a cheapo replacement for Malcolm Crosby, and so collected cones for some beer money. Fair play to Walsh mind I think he realised that football was no longer for him and moved into the catering trade.

How quickly you forget the sterling effort and important contribution our dearest cone collector made to STFC. I always considered you the oracle as far as STFC history was concerned. I feel betrayed.

Just for the record - I will be supporting Cooper and this photo is not a reflection of my thoughts on him!

Fuck you Reg, I cone gather for my sons U10 team sometimes. I model myself on Walsh, but with a bit of Batch magic thrown in. Yeah that's right, the cones go back onto the holder grouped in colours. How do ya like them onions.

No new coaching staff? I thought they appointed somebody a fortnight ago as well as a sports scientist - Brighton connections I believe.

Given that Cooper was assistant and caretaker, I presumed they may have considered bringing in an assistant manager to, erm, assist. I know about the coaching staff already at the club.
