Ok. I’m reading the comments. I’m starting to feel slightly better about this…..keep going guys, positive comments only 😂

😂😂😂 Glass approaching half full 98?

Absolutely Warwick! I reckon we can have a decent go at top 6 this season - European qualification should be the minimum now 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apologies for my other posting, I really hope I'm wrong with all the negativity.

To balance that a bit RVN was a fantastic player, he will hopefully be able to use his contracts to get some reinforcements in January and his stature in the game demands respect and may well result in better players wanting to join us. He has a decent record so far in his managerial career. I can't deny that it will be great to see him on the touchline for us.

There, that's about as positive as I can get at the moment

You’ve no need to apologise Nuneaton, you make several valid points. One thing i would highlight though is our slightly false position in 16th place, on the back of two wins and four draws.
Of the two wins, the first against Bournemouth was a gift from the gods - how they didn’t score 5 against us beggars belief. And we needed a very late winner against a poor Southampton side after being 2-0 down. Amongst the draws, we should have beaten Everton if we’d turned up and were robbed at Crystal Palace. Spurs should have been 4-0 up by half time in the opener.
I’ve no doubt that if we’d retained Cooper, relegation was pretty much assured. I’m not sure it’s correct to say he had lost the dressing room; more probably he had failed to win most of them over to start with. And if you add the reported fall outs with Winks, Choudhury and more notably Vestergaard (banished from the first team training reportedly), it’s easy to see why.
Anyway, good to note you’re feeling some positivity!
Keep smiling 😊😊😊🦊🦊

I wouldn't disagree with anything you've said there apart from the bit about keeping Cooper and getting relegated; no matter how fortunate we've been so far, under Cooper we were still outside the relegation zone. We might well still have been relegated under him, but it wasn't certain - what was it Napoleon said - give me lucky generals..............

So he is our new manager. Not worth starting a new thread about it as we've said most that needed to be said.

Let's keep fingers crossed that we have a new manager bounce. I'm assuming he won't have had too much to do with the squad/tactics for Brentford?

We'll see how he gets on tomorrow.

Might be better to wait for Tuesday, Nuneaton!
Let’s all get behind him.

I will indeed be behind him on Tuesday, I sit in B2!

Let's hope he joins the Zidane, Beckenbauer, Cruyff list of great players who became great managers rather than the Maradona, Charlton, Shearer list!

I'm hoping he will be still with us in the summer, and being linked with every top job going.
