Agree with most of comments,but just a bit concerned that it has taken so long.
Wonder if he really wants the job or has taken it as he is on no lose situation and has been offered a big money deal?
If he does well then obviously that is a great credit to him,if it doesn't work out then of course he can blame all our financial woes and points deduction.
Really like the man and think before all our troubles that he was perfect fit for our club.
Just hope he does as good a job for us as he did at Brighton,who are really a very similar club to ourselves.
Only time will tell,and so hope he proves to be the one to take us back to where we belong.
In Rudkin we trust!
Just been reliably informed that we are wrong99
Cooper has just gone ,to way odds on favourite with bookies.
Think we just have to wait and see what develops.
The "noise" that is now coming out this morning is that the club are not happy with Potter "taking his time" or "stalling" the decision after personal terms have been agreed.
I personally think Potter would be a good appt compared to Cooper BUT the longer this goes on the more it feels like we are Potter's booty call if he gets turned down by a super model, and this doesn't sit well with me at all.
Give Potter an ultimatum, sign in next 48 hours or we move on....
We need a manager ASAP whoever it is, the club/squad/transfers need direction now and not waiting around.
Certainly a morning for mixed messages!

Totally agree,think similar,do wonder if he wants job for right reasons.
Still think Moyes be a good option given our situation.
But not unhappy with Cooper.
Well well well! Quite a turn of events. Sounds to me like Potter just isn’t that interested in Leicester, well nowhere near as much as we are interested in him.
It seems an almost schizophrenic move from the board to have Cooper as a back up. His approach and style of play couldn’t be anymore different and a clear signal that Leicester are running out of options.
That’s not to say Cooper is a bad choice, I think he’s a very pragmatic one and suits the situation we are in - but it’s a remarkable turnaround from a club that has prioritised style of play and progressive football above everything else. I think it has more chance of working
See in you changed article title 99,is this now getting to be a bit of a farce,another indication of the state of our club.
Lions led by donkeys.
Yeah it’s a very strange one Thorney because the Potter news was coming from pretty reliable journos. Fabirizio Romano was suggesting it had got to the stage where staff were being discussed
Im not sure what’s happened but to jump from Potter to Cooper is a pretty big swing - they are nothing alike. It may well end up being the more sensible choice (I actually think Cooper is a very good manager) but once again it smacks of a leadership that are rudderless at times
My biggest concern right now is a backlash from Leicester fans who wanted Potter or Corberan. There’s been a strong negative reaction on FoxesTalk and we’re in a situation where we need to get behind whoever comes in. If the fans put him under pressure after 2 weeks then things will unravel
I think like I said before,Potter maybe not convinced it is right job for him,and board think he wants it for wrong reasons and heart not in it.
Cooper is more keen to get back into management and sees this as a great chance to prove himself and show his previous club that they should have kept him
If that's the case then all fine.
One easy solution to this rather strange situation.
Dear Nigel,are you busy at present,if not give us a call!!

That will do me-if the club can manage this only in the interim but, perhaps, on a long-term contract.

I couldn't agree with you more, I am not an advocate for Cooper but if he is the man in charge come 20:00 against Spurs then he will have my full support ( the same will not be said of Top, Rudderless and Chorlton & the Whelan)

So Cooper is confirmed, not my ideal choice but now it's time for unity and pulling together, let the board give Steve the tools to have the best chance at surviving the season ahead.
