Apparently in the frame to replace SP.
It may well be paper talk but for me it's,a no brained over Cooper.
He's back up option if the Cooper deal falls through
No thanks.

He's not on the bookies list I saw earlier. Steve Cooper at 1:1 still odds on. Chris Wilder next has come in to 4:1
Be a far, far better choice

Yeah I noticed money has gone on Wilder
Bilic is a good choice I think, would be my first choice. Wilder second
Wilder or Bilic for me.
I'd rather let Tony Khan manage the team! Billic seems to get sacked from all his jobs lately. He even managed to get sacked from a club in Saudi Arabia winning 6 of his 20 games !!!
Bilić took West Ham to 7th place in the PL which was their best ever PL finish at that time, scoring a then record number of goals. He also won promotion with WBA. I think that trumps a short spell in the footballing hotbed that is Saudi Arabia; and as for being sacked, almost all managers get sacked. Mourinho has been sacked more times than most men change their underpants in an average calendar year
Would prefer Cooper (then Wilder).
One trick pony Bilic we would be much better off with Cooper
To be honest, at this point I'd be happy with Barney the dinosaur because then it'll stop these silly posts.

Why on earth is this love in with Cooper by some? Look at his playing & management CV. Compare it with Parker´s CV as a player & manager. All Cooper has achieved is 2 failed playoff attempts.
I'd like Bilic.
Don't want Cooper. Would like Howe or Wilder.

Playing career has absolutely no bearing on management career. Assume you wouldn't have wanted Hodgson because his playing career wasn't exactly stellar, nor was Mourinho and several other world class managers. Cooper has also won international trophies with England's youth team, Parker has one promotion and one relegation...

Hey DW, bare in mind, Roy played for Carshalton Athletic - up the Robins!
