Danny Murphy has called for Steve Cooper to be given ‘a stay of execution’ as speculation swirls around the Welshman’s future at Nottingham Forest.
A crest-fallen Cooper watched his side relinquish an early lead to lose 2-1 to Leeds United on Tuesday evening, a result that extends their winless run to eight games.
It was also a result that has left Forest just one place above the bottom three and out of the relegation zone on goal difference alone – and one that added fuel to the discussion around the 43-year-old’s position.
