Source ?

 

[Yewsman]

Oh god. Who is advising our new owners. Big mistake.

Done deal apparently

Transfer windows gone, suppose hes a free agent but well past it he would need a full pre season

He's playing in goal. Be reight.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Does fit the COH blueprint of "achieved the square root of fuck all" , so it is plausible.

 

[ThatJa]

Naya chance

 

[Kenilworth]

I’d be fine with that. He showed signs of getting it right at Boro.
Look at Lampard’s first jobs and what he is sorting at Cov, now.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Big pig fan allegedly and Mike and the Mechanics were a bit shit, so it's a definite no from me.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Will mean we can linked to every Man Utd youngster on loan every transfer window. Who doesn’t want another John Cofie or James Wilson?!

 

[UTB Blade]

Michael Carrick, eh?

• Boro fans to their owners, when Carrick hadn't been sacked at the end of the the season:



• Boro fans when Carrick was finally sacked:




•Boro 24/25 season, under Carrick:




• Boro 25/26 season, under a different manager, with an arguably weaker squad than Carrick's:

A slight improvement on Selles I guess

 

[BigBed]

Atleast there's a chance of 10th under Carrick then!!

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Good football but promotion unlikely

Basically what a large chunk on here wanted - but British

I think he has very good potential though and wouldn't be against it. We could do much worse

Well it makes a change from you claiming it’s going to be Cooper.
Or Dyche.
Or Gerrard.
Yawn

I'll match your James Wilson, and raise you a Michael Twiss.

 

[Kev Gee]

So the club signs loads of players, and then sack the manager?

 

[Tommy_P]

Can't see it. Fucking hope not anyhow out of the pan into the fire springs to mind!!

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Done deal apparently

Has he bought something on ebay?

 

[Jon Bon II]

Has he bought something on ebay?

He has but he's not paid yet, so someone else can nip in and buy it.

 

[Eskimo]

No dear God no

 

[Wards]

I wouldn't be massively disappointed with him. Not my first choice but it's a big step up in experience and stature. His Boro team played some really good football, I think he just lost his way a bit at the end.

 

[DifferentClass]

Rather have Paul Carrack.

 

[JohnDenver]

Carrick has failed to do the exact thing we want to achieve, and from a very similar starting point. Just like Lampard at Derby. That’s not to say they’re awful, but their CVs fall short.

If football recruitment was based on evidence, Cooper would have been in already. Supplement a mid table squad with quality loans. Make them gel. Get promoted.

 

[Rodley]

In the quest to get promoted, appointing a manager who has got promoted before is probably sensible. So COH probably won’t do that.

Paging T-Blade …..

Not another ITKer

Cooper did exactly what we want to do when appointed at Forest, they were bottom of the league and he took them up... and at our expense...and the rest is history as look at them now.

If we are making a change surely it has to be for some proven championship manager otherwise we may as well stick

 

[Danetheblade]

Absolute bollocks more than likely, but if it’s true I’d be bitterly disappointed.
