Pure speculation but the timing of the contract signing bamboozles me.
Could Cooper have been holding off signing because there was interference with team selection?
It would explain the dramatic loss of form and confidence.
Has he only signed now because the contract allows him to do his job?
If so Cooper won the Mexican standoff and I expect a much improved performance on Monday.
If not.

You could well be right, see what team he puts out on Monday? .

simple answer is that the players were all unsettled and not performing because Cooper was under threat from the Media. Mr M decided to quell that by ensuring Cooper and Murphy were not threatened by the new Director of Sport and had his confidence. It's a shrewd move, but expectations of improvement will be high.
Despite all that if by Christmas we have not pulled out of the bottom three, Mr. M. will still sack Cooper if he wants to.
Looks like Olympiakos are in trouble so that factor has to be taken into account as well.
Expect a bounce on Monday.

Scouse I couldn't picture marinakis calling cooper saying start cook at back could u? People overthink when times are rough we always need someone to blame.

I agree with you 2 about Marinakis not calling about cook, but I certainly think he would about Lodi and awonyi, his pet poodle Lingard as well . Bowie your a wise man so I’m told, answer me this, Watford new there lad, forget his name is it Dennis, anyway, wanted away straight after they were relegated and asked 20mill for him, if cooper really wanted him, why wait until virtually the end of the window to get him for exactly the same price as Watford originally asked, were they waiting for the price to go down, or was he just another panic bye as all the other options were turning us down and cooper didn’t realy want him anyway, hence he don’t get much game time. There may not be anything in the conspiracy stuff, I certainly believe Steve Cooper didn’t want a lot of these signings, and I'm sure he would have wanted a proper winger in his squad ie Bowler. Hows things with you mate, just lost one of my old Forest mate’s, died last night, got through all this time without c.v., caught it 2 weeks ago, died of c.v. related problems with his kidneys, life’s a bitch sometimes . ☹️.

Bless ya dreamteam my good friend i cannot tell ya how sorry i am. You call me the wise one. Strange on Dennis i was on the phone to 79 just yesterday. Saying he's apparently bad for the changing room. Apparently his teammates were clapping there hands to see the back of him. But as 79 tells me they all look happy in training. I just cannot even speculate on any of the signings brought in mate. My words of wisdom dreamteam come from within. Never to take your life or any of those around ya for granted. Each day is so precious. To the wealthy i say share it with the food banks. When i say wealthy i just mean comfortable. Because ignorance my friend is what this country lacks now. Too stuck up there own ar$es to see the realities. Tell your loved ones and even mates ya luv em. i do as ya never know. Your a good lad son married 50 yrs proves it. Keep your head up. Clough be with your pal. X
