As a Forest fan I don’t care where Steve Cooper goes wish him all the best thank you again Cooper for all you done with Nottingham Forest it’s going to be weird when Forest v Leicester City 😂

[@TamrielicScholar]

How can you not care your manager has gone to a rival lol

[@callumclarke1733]

Being a Nottingham forest fan I give him till Christmas Leicester city will be in a relegation battle with Steve cooper wrong appointment if Leicester to stay in the premier League

[@roddymackellar5481]

@@TamrielicScholar Ex manager as we sacked him and moved on. Thanks for everything Steve did for us but that's football and Leicester isn't as big a rival to Forest as sky make them out to be.

[@BestInTheWorld13x]

Aren't u and Leicester rivals? Is it not a derby?

[@peterruff5810]

Ain't Derby there biggest rivals because of Clough.

[@livyalexx]

Steve Cooper is bringing fresh energy to Leicester City! 🌟 Can't wait to see how he steers the Foxes to new heights. Exciting times ahead for the club!

[@Boogeyman9035]

Leicester will be sacking him by Christmas....

Low block, boring football, long interviews, going down again mate.

[@aaronmartin1940]

Poor Leicester, I wanted them to stay up next season aswell.

[@Clwydz_redmenYNWA]

You got to be joking ! He took Forest from relegation in the championship to the premier league. He’s a decent manager

[@peterruff5810]

Relegation in the Championship it's a little different then Relegation in the Premier League and what i mean by that is yeah big teams can drop to League 1 but it's a lot easier for them to stay up so you don't get shocked when they do stay up as for the Premier League you are playing the best teams so it is a lot harder to stay up , say for example if Plymouth beat Leeds to stay up it wouldn't be a shock but if Forest beat Manchester City to stay up it would be a shock.

[@kevinmcnab5670]

​@peterruff5810 . Right... and he took over whilst they were fighting relegation in the championship, got them promoted and kept them up in the PL.

[@aaronmartin1940]

@@Clwydz_redmenYNWA to go into the prem as a championship club u need a top top manager with top top players jus to stay up, the difficulty gap between the 2 leagues is ridiculous and upsetting tbh.

Let's hope that whatever happens he does a good job.. time for us foxes to put some faith in him I think. 💙🦊

[@somiarehman4427]

Good luck Steve you gave us forest fan's some of the best times. Always a red❤

[@Psalm11950]

I guess this appointment is with a view to being back in the 2nd tier and building from there? Cooper just kept Forest up but I can't see him doing it at Leicester especially with a -9 or -12 deduction

Good luck steve, i know you are used to your teams playing in front of a passionate crowd at the WORLD FAMOUS CITY GROUND. Us Leicester fans are nowhere near that level...not many teams fans are. But we'll do our best...we've got plastic clappers 👍 and all that...LETS GO LEICESTER... RA RA RA

[@sandram9243]

That's them certain for the drop next season.

[@MattBax-sy3gk]

Why

[@andreastomblin2137]

As a Leicester fan this in my opinion is a very poor appointment, very short sighted and non inspiring, I don't care if he was a Forest that's not an issue I just don't think he is the right fit or even has the right skills, a good championship manager at best, I see dark days ahead. He may also get the sack before Enzo Maresca.

[@robinhood007]

You’re going down anyway so why care.

[@lcfcashton]

Point deduction as well, not looking good 😢

[@KGBgringo]

Relegation it is then

I like Steve Cooper, i think he will do a good job at Leicester, at the end of the day you want only players and managers who want to be there, Potter lost out, he is his own biggest fan and thinks he can pick and choose any job 😂

Why ? His face is awful . I wouldn’t want I look at him ever again.

I'm a Leicester fan, I can feel this working. We need a manager thats going to get the Foxes fighting. Some top talent at our club, he can utilise

You da man Steve

[@Psalm11950]

Leicester fans need to be realistic. They've just been promoted and are undoubtedly going to be in the bottom 4 or 5. With a big points deduction it's going to be near impossible to stay up. Cooper is a good appointment for them

[@davidfoster2006]

Getting a Forest reject is a bad move.

[@user-jh2uq3vg1e]

Let’s go, Steve! 👊🏻

[@yuvraj01]

The problem is with Leicester they will be financially constrained what with the investigation by the F.A so whether Steve is the right man for the job, after Potter stalled on the deal, remains to be seen..

[@markharrison7522]

The bin dippers are not forest rivals the sheep down the A52 are our rivals!

[@akash8513]

Wow from a bottom club to champion club its a surprise 😮

[@Williamstanway]

Think about it , its quite logical from liescter , they will be getting relagated so they need a manager who has won the championship

[@moze2324]

gosh what are leicester doing? this is really underwhelming

[@samtaylor2631]

As a Forest fan I’m fuming he’s Judas to me!!! He did so much for Forest and I know the club officials didn’t treat him well, however the fans did and adored him and kept him in a job for as long as he did. Then he writes the open letter to Leicester fans basically relaying the stuff he said about Forest and that forged the bong as we thought he genuinely had an affection for the club and city. I thought he had more about him and would honour the fans for the god like status we gave him. To me he is now the betrayer.

[@kevinmcnab5670]

Forest fans don't care about Leicester, though? Isn't that what they always say? So it's no different from him taking any other job. Right?

[@samtaylor2631]

@@kevinmcnab5670 there may be areas of the fan base that’s applicable for but to be honest me we don’t sing hates the Leicester hates the Derby for no reason so no that assumption is wrong .
