Now IMHO the Greek owner is clearly the problem with his inability to let Cooper do his job. I think I know why he bought Forest in the first place but I can't understand why he hasn't been found out yet. Of course money talks so maybe it's as simple as that. Here's another balanced bit. Isn't it remarkable how their fans turn up rain or shine win or lose to watch them get stuffed? By all accounts they look an absolute shambles and yet they still attract an apparently very loyal following. Perhaps things will change if they hit Christmas with no improvement in sight.
Considering they have by premiership standards had an easy run of games and still have 6 points there is an excellent chance they will have the worst ever premiership season on record. I am very much hoping that is the case. Cooper did an amazing job last season no doubt but he is no premiership manager. Find the new contract thing weird. Assume the old one didn't have a release clause with just 3 months payout in it and the new one does but dummied up as a new contract.
