Even after seeing their team suffer the ultimate collapse at Craven Cottage, Nottingham Forest’s supporters were singing at full-time and it was Steve Cooper’s name on their lips.
They will forever be grateful for what he has done for their club. Forever thankful that he got them to the Premier League and kept them there.
Yet after this, Cooper can only hope Marinakis is not in a two-for-one mood, having already sacked the manager of the other club he owns this week.
He does not want to suffer the same fate that befell Diego Martinez of Olympiacos, though this fourth straight Premier League loss piled on the pressure and then some.
