Great post Pope. It’s cold hard facts like this that underline the scale of the task, once the elation and warmth of Wembley begins to fade (if it ever does). The scale of the task ahead of us it a huge one, especially as we had five loanees. However, and I’m aware this is probably a biased point, Cooper is a better manager than any coach of those other promoted sides (other than arguably Bielsa). We’re going to find out very soon if his success in the transfer market so far has been a hot streak, or whether there’s been a degree of luck involved there too. Also, the crowd at the CG is a twelfth man in a way that only Villa and Leeds could compare with. Nevertheless our current squad is shallow and lacks the necessary quality. We can’t afford for any new signings to miss this summer.
