you missed out the part where you negotiate terms with the final choice(s) which often the people they are trying to sign don't always just take first offer and theres a bit of back and forth,

especially when all 3 have other options than us. have to come to terms with them and possibly other riders like level of investment, maybe even talking certain targets, who will the staff be etc. 

like look at how long it took to get carrick over the line, it wasn't a quick negotiation. 

would think that edwards would be a quicker one to get over the line compared to the other 2, who I am not really convince that eithers true intentions are to work for us. I think they both are farming more offers elsewhere tbh, has to be a red flag on coopers intent if it was his in January and he deferred the decision to the summer. if thats true he is just using us as a back up plan.  

Edwards has also been interviewed by Bristol City. 

He may have a choice to make.

Family might prefer to stay down South

It's a big move to the North East.

Lots of things to consider guys 👍

Cooper hasn't actually won a promotion automatically has he?  Forest finished 4th, and went up via the play offs.  In fact the only one of the three who has an automatic promotion on their CV is Edwards...

He’s not a big enough or glamorous name for some though so he’s already been deemed to be shïte, despite having a better CV than any of the other candidates. 
 

Many would rather have someone simply because they are foreign.

I’ve not seen one person refer to cooper as “***”, he literally won the poll on this thread of who people would want to see in charge…

He didn't win the Gazette poll

That's more representative of local supporters I imagine 👍

The poll was worded to ask who people think will be in charge, not who they want to be in charge though.

I don’t know anyone who reads the gazette or even goes on their website, I bet they voted for McClaren to come back or Nigel Pearson

And? I still haven’t seen a single person refer to copper as “***”. Most would have him but think he wouldn’t really be interested

Me neither. I was just pointing out that you can't use the poll data to show who people want to see in charge.

What a nob though if he was just winding us up

He’s just a SoMe dude. Those people will do anything for a mention and a click. Used car dealers have more credibility.

Hopefully not online. It’s got more ads and bling than the Las Vegas Strip. Awful site to visit.

Everytime I try I get about 2 paragraphs into the article and the page crashes because of the sheer amount of ads trying to load, it’s literally unreadable
