YET COOPER WOULD LOVE TO MANAGE CARDIFF CITY

Steve Cooper will not be the next Cardiff City manager despite reports linking him with the vacant post over the weekend and Cooper saying he wants the job at Cardiff.

By Glen Williams

Cooper was let go by Leicester City somewhat unexpectedly last week, leading many Bluebirds supporters to wonder whether he would be willing to drop down into the depths of the Championship and carry their club forward and out of trouble – just as he did with Nottingham Forest.

Yesterday a report was circulated on social media claiming Cooper would "relish the opportunity" to manage the Bluebirds, but that he held concerns over fan sentiment owing to his connection with Swansea.

We understand it's not the right opportunity for Cooper, whose last two jobs have been in the Premier League with Forest and Leicester City, and the former Foxes boss is likely setting his sights higher up the pyramid with regards to his next post.

One source pointed out that crossing the divide would likely not be an issue for Cooper — he moved from Leicester City's East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest to the King Power Stadium, after all — and that he has a respect for Cardiff, of whom his father, former Premier League referee Keith, is thought to be a supporter.

But Pontypridd-born Cooper's stock has risen greatly since he was last in the Championship — when he steered Forest to promotion — and it would be no surprise to see his next destination nearer the top end of the second tier, if not another crack at the top flight.

It will likely be a blow for many Cardiff supporters, the vast majority of whom, despite recognising his links to Swansea, appreciate his record of two successive play-off campaigns with the Swans and a promotion out of the division while at the City Ground.

As for Cardiff's search for Erol Bulut's permanent successor, City supporters are still none-the-wiser and have issued a strong open letter to the club's board. Omer Riza's time as interim boss has tipped past the 70-day mark and he seems to have been handed a lengthy audition to stake his claim for the job long term.

Riza has done well to stabilise the the club after their worst start in 125 years, with four wins and four draws from his 12 games in charge. However he has admitted that seeing potential candidates constantly linked with the Bluebirds manager job is bound to impact him on a human level.

One we can rule out, however, is Cooper.

Guesswork? Won't be the first time from WOL

Possibly but sometimes they also get told to put stuff out by Dalman and of course they do that because they're worried he'll cut them out of any further information in the future.

Not what you want from local "journalists".

Ned I wrote earlier today now was not the right time for him...but I don't see a premiership vacancy yhis season for him and can't see a championship club suitable this season either .. think clue was in what he said.... don't be surprised if he stays away until next season after all he doesn't need yhe money or his stock won't diminish if doesn't take job until next season..

Glen Williams is saying this as he knows Tan / Dalman his virtual Boss won’t have someone as good as Cooper coming here.

This is a nominee statement from the Board quashing fan’s expectations of a decent manager like cooper being appointed.

This fire has been extinguished pretty quickly, the natives are getting restless so they doused this story quickly enough.
They can’t expect us to want a proven manager, they and god willing know best

Ned your are dead right, in the article instead of saying "I" understand he says "WE" understand freudian slip there, it does show that what he puts out is all Mehmet Dalman
And its just making excuses of why we are not going after Cooper!

Anyone who thought that Cooper, Schumacher, Jones, Robins and many other tasty managers we would all like to be approached were going to be a Tan appointment, then a serious head wobble is needed. A yes man , cheap and no compo is the Tan criteria, Warnock being the exception who left us with Smithies and Vassell and others on stupid wages and other questionable dealings. The headline on this thread may as well be the dictators words.

Spot on Roger,


This is Dalmans work and Williams putting it out in his behalf

Does anyone honestly believe Cooper would come if club asked him The answer is NO.... he's just left a job with £10m left on 3yr contract his stock is high he says like to if right situation manifests itself? With best will in world now is not that time for him and everyone knows it..... but tan is a total tw*t we cannot have a permanent interim manager who can be sacked at any moment when there are good managers available... like I've said waiting until January is taking massive risk because we could be bottom and managers like Robins may not be available then what?? Cooper was a no go from beginning why anyone thought it was hasn't looked at his situation and used bit of logic...

Cooper wants to manage us, he has communicated that to the club.

This is just Glen Williams putting out Dalman's spin so when we don't appoint Cooper, this is their excuse - but it isn't true.

Managers don’t put out statements like this by accident. Make no mistake this is “ come and get me “ from Cooper.

The board via Williams statement is an attempt to play this down and not get expectations up - why - They already have a cheap option.

TBH if that article is planted by the club, its about time the fans rose up and gave the board one almighty fk off tablet by instigating some vocal and highly visible demonstrations.

We just need to drag Tan and the 2 stooges through the mud because we are treated with utter contempt and indifference by these non-football people.

I'm sure by now, judging by many threads here, that many loyal supporters have had a total sh1tful of this stagnant, poisonous regime.

Where is the quote saying he wants to manage us now? What I've read says relish managing city doesn't say when ......if a proven quote from him says I will give up my payoff and I'm not worried about fans reactions about Swansea connection thats different? Like said people are ignoring his situation of just leaving club with 3yr £10m contract still to be paid his standing in football is such he can get premier league club when one becomes available plus a top championship club as back-up so no need to jump in at city.... what can city offer him now to tempt him to give up multi million payment and city's ambitions other than tans deluded idea of promotion on shoestring..... I don't believe anything from wol but there again I'm not nieve to think this was going to happen now as it would be totally illogical from Cooper......

A soon as this broke I thought it had MD all over it. WOL are happy feeding on the scraps he gives them and I can only recollect one time when they rightly criticised whatever particular bad situation we happened to be in at that time. Don't bite the hand that feeds I suppose and it suits MD and co too.

We get better views and debate on the forum and social media. Which is mostly where WOL nick their ideas from anyway.

Just go get the man and give him the job .No disrespect to riza but cooper would give everyone at the club the lift it needs.
And way cheaper than relegation so get him and stop Messing about

With the ambition of this board they would rather appoint Tommy Cooper

The frustrating thing is under a different owner and with some financial backing Cooper would probably be very interested in managing his home town team

However, with Emperor Ming, the tax exile and Del Boy in charge there’s not a hope in hell of him coming here and working with those 3 clowns!!

Just Like That

What a bizarre story… no sources, no real information… sounds like the journalist heard something randomly and made an article out of it.

Suspect the person who wrote it reads this board - a poor effort

Allan where did you get the 10 million from , I can't find it anywhere.

Allan where did you get the 10 million from , I can't find it anywhere.

It was in an article just after he was sacked....obviously there is a bit of leaway in amount he's owed but 3yr contract at 3m a year is not out of question for premier league manager is it? plus was on 2m at forest which if you believe stories is minimum wage in premier league without extras.

It really depends how ambitious we are? I cant see the three amigos giving anyone a two or three year contract. Vinie's been caught before! so where does this leave us? not in a very good place.
