Quick check and he's 37, not played in UK for 7 years since Rotherham and his last club was North East United, whoever they are. Must be the usual "its who you know", presume he was at Blackburn at same time as Mark Hughes.

If it had been like this in the 80s and 90s I wouldn't have a fraction of the memories I've got of following the team away in the lower divisions. Very very rarely needed to buy a ticket never mind have them restricted to 1 per ST holder etc.

Chuffed for Cooper as well, wouldn't have been kept on at many clubs and especially under that owner but for whatever reason he held his nerve. Agreed. Cooper has done a fantastic job not just this season but getting them up in the first place. Top manager, when he leaves Forest eventually he'll have no trouble getting another decent job. Then again the same was true of Chris Wilder and a year or 2 later he looks like he's in last chance saloon after failing at Boro and Watford.

At various times in last few years the "next England manager" has been Brendan Rogers, Stevie G, Graham Potter, Eddie Howe. Cooper being Welsh possibly rules him out. Can't say I care anyway, it only becomes relevant to me for about 2 weeks every 2 years when I either agree or disagree with their selections for a quarter or semi final.
May 21, 20233 yr He's already managed the England U16s and U17s so knows the setup. Indeed, his England team won the U17s World Cup back in 2017. Just a case of having a bit more success at club level I think. Edited May 21, 20233 yr by jmjhb

Was interesting hearing him interviewed on Sky afterwards (when Tony Adams had piped down) talking about how he thinks football is moving towards a new phase where possession isn't king anymore. Think they had about 18% yesterday!

May 21, 20233 yr Be amazed if Newcastle drop points at home when a point will guarantee them CL footy but it would be most amusing if Leicester got a win
