Power was never going to give Cooper the vote of confidence on a phone-in.
However, what Lee Power didn't do was defend Cooper to the hilt. I know most of us feel this anyway but I'm inclined to think that Power agrees that Mark Cooper is on thin ice.

Seem the remember that Power has never been that effusive about Cooper, even in the good times. Suspect that he's always been on relatively thin ice - hence his contract being run down with no talk of renewal, even during last season.

Remember he got the boot from Posh cos he was unable to turn round a poor spell of form.
I do feel sorry for the bloke, though.

Let's all make him a cake.
On the top it can say "fuck off Cooper", so he leaves, but on the plus side, he gets a cake.

I still don't see what difference sacking Cooper is going to make. We've got a shit squad that was assembled over a summer that made me long for the days of pre-season cigar smoking under Kingy sprinkled with whoever has become subsequently available and now we're bringing in another ex-midfielder on loan.
Cooper leaving will not change the approach to recruitment that has failed this season after proving moderately successful for a year (or two at a stretch).

Think we've got a decent squad - just so happens most of them are injured. They need direction and a different approach. Mind you, if Power does the recruiting and Williams the coaching, just how much input does Cooper have?

That's exactly the point - why blame Cooper when there are other influences having a severe impact on the team? The injuries are unfortunate but the squad looks incredibly disjointed.

You are making out that Cooper has no responsibilities. If something needs to change then unfortunately it is the only realistic scenario. The set up at Swindon if you put lee power as a director of football is no different to many clubs up and down the country and managers still leave. And the change of manager has an effect. (Not always positive) players played for di canio, it's the managers job to instil respect, motivation and get them playing to potential

Bessone didn't play for di canio. Nor did Clarke for that matter.
