No points deducted as Leicester board could act early seeing Steve Cooper 10/1 to be the first manager sacked
09/14/2024 04:36 PM
The fact that Leicester avoided a points deduction, would of course see the club interesting for the best men in the business. This is likely to put heavy pressure on Steve Cooper. So far just two points in four games. If this continues Leicester will be in heavy trouble. With such a ratio, Leicester will be on 19 points at the end of the season, surely not enough to survive.
The next month will be crucial for Steve Cooper, as the club would be attractive for other alternative managers, knowing that they will go in to the job with no disturbance with points being deducted.
Sean Dyche is the favourite to go first, Erik ten Hag second and Enzo Maresca third, followed by Steve Cooper being seen as the fourth one in this list. We believe the club will act fast if they see stumbles as the one against Crystal Palace today, as the lead was lost and crucial mistakes made from the sideline.
The fact that a newly promoted club would consider a manager change is nothing new, as the order is clear and concrete, you cannot mess about as Steve Cooper has done in the games so far. Aston Villa was at least a possible draw, today three points were thrown into the bin.
Steve Cooper is a manager showing his pragmatic act, and not really having an eye on the individual player. He looks at it all as a group who should stick together and whatever his selections are and how he delivers out minutes of game time should have no say.
Looking at it all from distance, not understanding this at all. Hamza Choudhury and Conor Coady are two players that has been overlooked by Steve Cooper, not being starters in the league so far this season, suddenly they are thrown into the team at a very crucial time, replacing a winger (Ayew) and an offensive midfielder (Ndidi), to do a job in another position. This is management of lower standards and will not be tolerated long term.
We do not, at this time and place, know the reason for the absence of Jannik Vestergaard, but hopefully he is injured or ill, as it looks double trouble big time if Steve Cooper continues to overlook the hierarchy of the players, and again ignoring Ricardo Pereira as an alternative.
Another problem to solve is the use of Bouba Soumare as his presence looks to be seen as a gardening leave for the rest of the season. The progress of Will Alves and Michael Golding is set on hold.
Points is needed and a win against Everton is a must, if not, Steve Cooper could soon be higher in the list above.
