£500k for Cooper

[K23]

Still a cracking bit of business.

Picture this scenario. RM turns things around from this point onwards, takes us to within a few points of the playoff spots, does enough to attract premier league interest like Potter did, says cheery bye bye, leaving us at the drawing board like groundhog bleeding day. Would that still be a cracking bit of business compared to giving him the old heave ho a bit sooner, getting old Russell Hobbs in a bit sooner, and getting those extra few points needed in this scenario?

OK, a bit far fetched, but it's within the realms. What I'm saying is, we'll judge how good this business is at the end of the season, when we know how good a decision it's been to dig our heels in to save every penny on Cooper at the expense of having a proper preparation for the season.

For me, the worst scenario would be final weekend of the season and it's between us and Forest for the last playoff place and we miss out to Cooper and Forest get their revenge for shitting their pants in their final match against Stoke in 2020 and allowing us to pip them for the playoffs.

Or more likely, a match that decides who doesn't drop into division 1

If your worst scenario is that we comfortably finish 7th, presumably playing a lot of good football on the way if that is true, that would be my best case scenario.

As long as the circumstances don't end up as I described, yes, I'd be more than happy with 7th the way things have been going so far.
