Do we have a link or is it just the usual idle forum chatter?

Hmmm. It sounds like he's gone then!
I'm still confused how they're allowed to have been "locked in talks" with him without making a "formal" approach but....

I think it only matters if the manager's club objects.
In this instance, it seems that Power is playing hard ball just for the money - not to hang on to Cooper.
Obviously, Cooper doesn't agree with Power that he has the best job in football

I've no doubt that's exactly what Power is doing. Just wondered how we're supposed to object if they don't make a formal approach. It's all a bit odd but don't suppose it will make a difference to the outcome. |

If there is no word of a "formal approach" then it would appear obvious that Power has no problem with Cooper applying for jobs and being interviewed as long as adequate compensation is agreed upon.
Power obviously has had a falling out with Cooper and has contingency plans in place upon Coopers inevitable leaving.
It seems that according to some that Williams has been approached by Power to become "Head Coach" but that Williams prefers to be number 2, so whether we approach somebody in club when Cooper leaves such as Jeremy Newton or we go for an ex player who "knows the ropes" such as Ricketts.
We will find out soon enough.

Maybe it will be a Cooper/Byrne double that's holding it up.
The Wendies seem underwhelmed about it.
Can't see it making much difference to us TBH. Don't know if we'll appoint another figurehead and leave Williams to coaching.
Got a feeling there may be something about Gareth Barry

Hes under contract at Everton for another 2 seasons on an alleged £30k per week wage, he wont be coming to us soon. More likely to be Michael Standing. |

I'm very much in the 'If it's not broken, don't fix it' camp. Regardless of who was or was not behind last season's 'success', the set-up we had worked and because of that I'd rather Cooper stayed.
However, just because something may be good, that doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. Power has shown that he knows his football, plus he also knows going-ons at the club much better than any of us do so I think he's better qualified to judge than we are.
As to how it all turns out, we'll just have to wait and see...... but we'll be champions by Christmas. FACT!

It's never dull, that's for sure.
It'll almost be a clean sweep with the majority of players replaced and Cooper gone.
Could be a recipe for disaster or kick-on from last season.
Fucked if I know which!

Scott Lindsey is part of the Standing, Williams, Power power set I always thought - would be surprised if he went.
Cooper's replacement will also no doubt be heavily linked with Power et al already too - although Hockaday is a smart bet to come in. Not sure Standing will have an official role at the club as that may muddy his agent waters.

Director of First Touch Pro. Never was a licenced FIFA agent when there were such things, now he could become (already be) an intermediary very easily after change of rules. |
