Copps confirmed as Head of Football Operations

[Spud]

Spud:

………every internal appointment is gonna do the same, let's give the man a chance, surely we're happier him making footballing decisions than Blunt?

Copps will get every chance, and the time, to prove his effectiveness in the role. There’s no alternative now, as the decision has been made (and has probably been made for some time).

There is only one thing left to ponder, imho, when Copps has done all his good work, it will come down to recommending who we should bring in for x, y and z positions in the team and the same guy (pre Copps) will be signing them off (or not) at the end of the day.

Every chance as long as he doesn't read this forum, where most, whilst hoping they're wrong, have decided it's the cheap/easy/wrong option.

I do wonder who people realistically expected or even recommended? Can't recall many names put forward, other than Warnock, who's retired

I don't think people were wanting a name we've heard of tbf, so would be difficult to put forward. The most forward thinking and best for this job was never gonna be an ex-manager. The aim was someone like Liam Sweeting.

One of his first jobs must be to sack Graham Younger. Then go from there.

Step 1 complete.
