name me one manager in the world who could inspire you with this terrible bunch

Forest Green or Notts? They have a chairman who's hands on to say the least. He will be wanting promotion to L1 if they do go up. Notts are the bigger club by a country mile but we have Guy Branston. If it were new owners, Notts all day. The current set up makes FGR more attractive IMO.

not to mention they are probaly better run behind scenes with better plan 

@Elite_pie  we'll only know by giving him a proper chance , a handful of his own players in the mix next season could make a world of difference in my view , any manager is a gamble in all honesty but compared to what we have suffered MC is a better bet , forest green are loaded yes but that's absolutely no guarantee of success but get your concerns @Modern Fan 1862 ???? .

Doesn't bother me too much either way, if he stays great, I would like to see a team gathered by him (sack Branston please!), as he had to take over this one whose confidence was destroyed by Fullarton and he has not been able to bring in any players to alter things because he came after the window had closed.

I do think it is a mistake not to at least offer him a contract, so I do not blame him for having a look around. Was he not brought in just for said amount of games? In which case he will be out of work come 4:55 tomorrow anyway.

odds on after the game if no contract is offered forest green will be straight on phone to him sorting something out.

Money an a good manager are a recipe for promotion if they already don't go up this year.

Also trew should already be talking to him about terms and havin somat lined up already but Notts seem to wait the last min for players and managers.

Next manager some academy coach who will not cost a lot or will follow guy Branstons orders.

When teams are intrested in you're manager it's a clear sign he's doing a decent job if that's not enough for trew to understand il never know what is.

And in the interview he said the head of recruitment will pick players if he doesn't get the contract offer.

well if branston is still here which he most likely will be god help us all expect this to be the icing on a comical joke season.

 

Coopers the right man at this level or as good as any if you prefer, if he wasn't  FGR wouldn't be sniffing around, it would be madness for Notts to let him slip away. He's done as well as you could expect with the current squad and there in lies the problem. The current squad is completely disjointed, half a dozen right backs of questionable quality, a midfield lacking strength quality ability and leadership, a few fringe strikers and two more of proven quality but not getting any kind of service or back up and then getting slated for not single handedly winning every game for us.                                                                                                                       Recommended: Keep Cooper, let him choose who we should sign (which may be limited due to half the current squad being contracted for next season already). He's a proven manager, let him manage.                           Not recommended: Employing the hapless Guy Branston.Full Stop.

 

Cooper didn't sound confident about being the manager next season, he's in limbo, his contract runs out straight after the game and he hasn't had any talks about the future with RT... We truly are up s**** creek without a paddle!

If things dont work out with MC, maybe RS would be interested?

I'm not familiar with Russell Slade, abit before my time! Was he good the first time round ?

We could get Mourinio as manager but it would make no difference, the club is rotten to the core, and unless a take over is done soon who make major changes behind the scenes, like getting rid of our head of  recruitment ,we will be playing our last game in the football  league this time next year, and having just watched MC interview he won't be here next season!

After Fullarton, even Charlie McParland would win the majority of people over!

To be honest, I actually like him as  a coach/assistant and manager. I just don't think he's got the knowledge to craft long term success but he can spot a good player - which is a very good start here.

He was appalling chap. We had a great win in the league cup against Spurs and won the Anglo Italian cup, but the league form was woeful. I hardly missed a game that season (apart from abroad) and it was really bad. We then brought in Howard Kendall above him, but it made no difference, apart from the fact they liked to work late 

Both were sacked before the season ended.

I will add that RS did go on to do some good stuff as a manager since.

Forest Green can be as interested as they like, I can't see MC stepping down to the Conference.

I'm ambivalent about Cooper. He certainly strikes me as a leader, but he badly needs to stamp his authority on the club. He needs people around him he can trust, both behind the scenes and in the team.

Interesting, hoping it's not true.

i said that he'd leave and i gaurentee he will.

Discussions should of started with cooper way back about a contract not at the last minute even now Ray trew won't bother to offer him one hel let him leave.

 

And we will end up with another jamie Fullarton choice gaurentee it well the trews have done enough damage if cooper goes that's it.

Enough is enough now
