NEWS UPDATE: Nottingham Forest has made the decision to name a “strong” manager to replace Cooper.

Even though Nottingham Forest has managed to stay out of the bottom three of the Premier League thus far this year, their 5-0 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage has raised doubts in Evangelos Marinakis’ mind about the situation at the City Ground and may jeopardize Steve Cooper’s job once more.

And this comes as no surprise, either, given that the former Swansea City boss has seen his side go from victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to recent capitulation to leave them just four points clear of the dropzone. With that said, reports suggest that Forest are already eyeing one particular replacement for Cooper, who faces a vital week when it comes to keeping hold of his job.
