    Sacking Steve Cooper and bring in RVN has to be up there with one of the daftest decisions ever, correct me if i'm wrong but Leicester weren't even in the bottom 3 when he got sacked.

    Highlights on TV, even watching full games on TV, can mask things ... but watching them at West Ham was enough - no desire, devoid of ideas, going through the motions ... not seen a Leicester City team this poor since we were relegated to League 1 ... these are much better players - but without effort and desire you get nothing ...

    It's amazing how quickly Leicester fell apart after reaching the top. It just shows you have to enjoy it while it lasts.

    Nah ... Cooper was dreadful ... we would still be in the bottom 3 primarily because of the squad which Cooper assembled - we could have added quality younger players- - we already had enough mediocrity in Faes, Vestergaard, Coady and Winks - but he spent most of the limited money we had on players that have never nailed a place in a Premier League team, Skipp, de Cordova-Reid and Ayew ...

    That lot were never finishing above Wolves, who were the only club that the current bottom 3 could hope to catch ...

    Fair enough, he's still better than RVN though, and the ex nottingham forest thing always felt like the fans were never gonna take to him.

    Not amazing at all - we'd finished 5th and weren't allowed to continue strengthening because of FFP / PSR concerns ... we couldn't even spend £14 million to turn Ademola Lookman's loan into a permanent - and look what he went on to do ... indeed we couldn't buy anybody that pre-season until we got money in for Fofana ...

    Mate - Wes Cooper was ex-Forest ...and the fans loved him almost from day 1 due to the shifts he put in ...

    Maresca's football was frustrating at times with way too many sideways passes ... but Cooper's ethos was largely just 'contain the opposition' and it was turgid...

    The point I'm making here is that Vince McMahon gifs are a very bad idea.

    You've posted plenty of them in the past. Do you know the guys background?

    Financial rules are being an obstacle for most clubs. It's making things more and more dull. We want to see more top players come here.

    I was under the impression that they don't help the lower leagues? Is that not the case?
