Steve Cooper may be fighting for his position as Nottingham Forest manager but nothing can tarnish one of the most impressive managerial jobs of recent times.
When Cooper took charge at the City Ground, Forest were bottom of the Championship and it would have been a fine achievement to lead them to mid-table that season. Instead, Cooper got them promoted for the first time this century.
Once in the top flight, Cooper had a revamped squad to manage and had little input into recruitment. It was often a chaotic campaign, hampered by injuries to key players, but still Cooper kept them up.
