So who played for City when Cooper was 16 and now manages in the Prem?

Moyes?

Yeah it looks like it is Moyes.

From a manager who gives the hair dryer treatment to one that gives the tumble dryer treatment!

I wish Morshead would get his facts right....Cooper snr took over the newly formed Bristol City 82 Ltd...the previous club being terminated. The FL controversially allowed them to take a place in Div 4...where the previous club had ended up after successive relegations. Many felt the new club should have had to seek re-election or start again in non-league.

So they weren't in the top division as stated...it would be good to see them back at that level again.

The one thing of interest that came out of that for me is that finally have a glimpse as to why MacDonald left. Although that has never fully been explained...

The assumption always was that MacDonald probably couldn't work with Power...that isn't really confirmed or denied.

Apologies Reg, I took Cooper's word on this at face value when he brought it up and evidently failed to fact-check him on this point.

I like this line -

“Peterborough ended up being the wrong club for me,” he said.

“I needed to go to an Oxford, Bristol Rovers, Lincoln, Grimsby - that would have been the most logical step for me.

Clearly a dig at our friends down the road.
