Former Premier League defender turned pundit Jamie Carragher believes that it was the reaction of the Nottingham Forest fans which saved Steve Cooper from leaving the club earlier in the season.
The Reds boss was under big pressure back in October, with the Welshman the bookmakers’ favourite to be shown the door following a 4-0 loss against Leicester City. The result left the team bottom of the table.
However, in a surprise twist, amid the speculation over his future, Cooper instead put pen-to-paper on a new deal at the City Ground. That loyalty has now been rewarded with the Reds enjoying their best run of form of the season, moving them six points clear of the relegation places.
