First team manager I see instead of first team coach.

Looks like a good appointment to me. Although you always have to wait and see how things turn out there looks to be a decent chance of getting some forward momentum going and it is good to see the club appointing potential.

I'm a bit disappointed that they seem to have moved reasonably quickly to fill the vacancy and actually got somebody who looks like a decent choice. We could face a severe moaning drought at this rate. A hand full of good signings and there won't be anything to go off it about until somebody performs badly in a friendly.

Pools having a manager in place with still a week left in May is something I can't quite get my head round yet.

I go for a walk with the dog and it all happens while I'm out. sort it out Pools!

What's poor Ali Brownlee going to do on a match day now with out Higgy? Have Pools had to pay compensation and that's been the delay?

Cooper said he was delighted to follow in the footsteps of Brain Clough and Higgy said "ar ay I'm made up like!".

Welcome, to both Colin and Craig. Perhaps this shall be the start of a new era? Fresh approaches? and stability? Time to get behind them and get the team back (eventually) to where it should be.

He wants to play a high tempo game with the ball on the floor, he wants very high fitness levels and will set very high standards.

What a cracking interview that is. Clean start, work already underway for new recruits, couple soon others might be made late because that is the way football is but they'll handle it. Will be using contacts which suggests some use of the loan system. High standards, high tempo football that fans can be proud of etc

If he is half as good in the dug out as he is on camera he'll do well.

Does the interview meet the same high standards as Hughes' first interview?

Even if it does, lets not get carried away eh!

Hughes delivered. He wasn't given a fair chance. Cooper has a close season, a pre-season and his own assistant. I still think Hughes got screwed.

He did deliver and I wouldn't have been unhappy with Hughes carrying on, with the other changes that have been made. But we've got Cooper and Hignett now,so lets get behind them.

Im optimistic with Cooper and Hignett (certainly more so than I was with Hughes)

Ultimately Cooper will need to be treated better than Hughes and provided with some cash , otherwise unless he is a miracle worker his ability to conduct a good interview will be irrelephant.
