Too soon for the I told you so posts just yet.

There are some regular negative, matter-of-fact smug posters who love reminding us all of the prophecies when the shit does hit the fan. SO I would love this to happen.

There was plenty of room for concern at the time. I wasn't keen on Cooper taking over within the immediate aftermath of MacDonald's departure but had little issues with him once he had taken pre-season.

The slightly unhinged aside, fans are always happy to be proved wrong.

I was unhappy at his appointment. And I stand by why I was unhappy.

But so far so wrong about Cooper, and the ability to integrate so many youngsters. Long may it continue.

One could argue that all the credit should go to Lee Power, after all he does sign the players and pick the team....

[Bewster]

I doubt if there's a single fan that wanted Cooper above some of the other names that were being thrown about. I didn't for the same reasons as most others.

I am ecstatic to be proved wrong so far and long may my wrongness continue

The thing is, whichever manager you have will have some bad times if they stay long enough.
Expect some of our doom mongers to re-emerge if/when that happens.

Personally at the time I thought we gave him the job too early, but he (& the board) have done a very good job so far.

I did laugh a bit at Leroy on the FL show when talking about Brizzle Shiity going through a transition period as an excuse for their poor form. I can't imagine many teams in the country having gone through more of a transition than we have, and we aren't doing too bad on it so far.
