Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce has thrown his weight behind under-pressure manager Steve Cooper.
Cooper’s job is on the line after Monday night’s 4-0 thumping at Leicester City made it five defeats in a row for the Reds. They sit bottom of the Premier League table, with four points from their first eight games.
But Pearce argues it shouldn’t be forgotten that Cooper was the one who ended the club’s top-flight exile with promotion last season. And he believes the Welshman should be given more time to get a squad packed with new signings to gel.
