STILL THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM
Following a fifth consecutive defeat that left Nottingham Forest rock bottom of the Premier League table on Monday, one national daily exclusively reported that the offer of a new and improved contract for their manager Steve Cooper had been withdrawn. As votes of confidence in football managers go, it wasn’t exactly on a par with that time Leicester announced they would like to “make absolutely clear [our] unwavering support for First Team Manager, Claudio Ranieri” before sacking him less than a fortnight later.
