Cooper’s Talksport comment was a Crystal Palace hint?<\/strong><\/em><\/a>) he did seem to be suggesting that his time at Swansea was up as he started to almost talk about us being in the past tense.<\/p>\nFor me there will be little doubt that if either the Eagles or the Baggies come calling Cooper will be wanting to talk and then it comes down to personal terms and personal terms only.\u00a0 \u00a0Both clubs will be aware of the cost of prising Cooper and his team away from the Liberty so it will come down to whether they can satisfy the drive of a manager who is hugely ambitious to succeed in the game.<\/p>\n
From a personal point of view I do not believe that Steve Cooper will be here next season.\u00a0 He has built his stock and earned his reputation.\u00a0 Whatever we think about his style of play and tactics he has steered us into back to back play off campaigns on the backdrop of losing our best players in both his summers here, the lack of income and the decimation of our parachute payments.\u00a0 If he stays I do not believe we are equipped to challenge at the top again next season and that could well be in his mind.<\/p>\n
Crystal Palace remains the place where the smart money is being placed but don’t rule out West Brom despite their recent relegation.\u00a0 They will have taken note of Cooper’s ability to compete at the top end of this division and with their resources he could be the man they turn to to get them back to the promised land.<\/p>\n
It will be an interesting few weeks now the dust has started to settle on Saturday’s defeat and I would guess both club and manager want this particular situation closed off as soon as possible.\u00a0 Maybe even as early as this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
