Head coach Steve Cooper says he is grateful for the backing he has received from Nottingham Forest fans amid recent speculation about his future.
The Reds’ eight-match winless run saw the Welshman come under pressure, until owner Evangelos Marinakis released a statement on Wednesday morning throwing his weight behind his manager. It did, however, come with a warning that results need to improve quickly as the club battle to avoid relegation.
Forest fans had already made their feelings on the situation clear. Responding to suggestions Cooper’s job was in jeopardy, there was a big show of support at the City Ground last Saturday and social media was awash with #CooperIn in the aftermath of Tuesday night’s defeat at Leeds United.
