Head coach Steve Cooper has welcomed the clarity provided by Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis’ public backing of his position.
But he insists that is more because of what it can do for fans and players than for himself. In terms of his own situation and what his team need to do, Cooper says Wednesday’s statement hasn’t changed anything.
Amid talk about the Welshman’s future following an eight-match winless run, Marinakis moved to “end the speculation” by throwing his weight behind the manager. It is the second time this season the club have stood firm behind Cooper when the pressure has mounted.
