Mark Cooper sacked as manager of Peterbo

Today, it was announced Francisco Rodriguez Jersey that Peterborough United manager Mark Cooper has been sacked from his managerial position at London Road ()Cooper has been in-charge for just 79 days at London Road, and this is now Peterboroughs second managerial sacking of the season, following Darren Fergusons departure.Mark Cooper picked up just 7 points in his 11 League matches, an average of 0.58 points per game. In comparison with Fergusons record this is a back-wards step for Peterborough United, Fergusons was averaging 0.69 points per game in his spell managing Posh in the Championship.With the departure of Cooper who the club turn to next it anyones gue s, MacAnthony has always turned to appointing, managers and players that are young and hungry but this policy has been shown up this season with the club 11 points away from safety as it looks like League 1 is the only po sibility for the Larry Andersen Jersey club whos dramatic rise up the divisions was well documented. Fans are left wondering whether MacAnthony will this time turn to a more experienced Championship manager or will the current policy stick and again a young, up and coming, lower league manager be appointed at London Road? The former Kettering Town managers departure is certainly a more popular one with the fans than the Ferguson sacking, there has been Jim Thome Jersey pre sure on Mark Coopers job for a few weeks now with fans criticising his more direct tactics andthe fact that the club were not creating the chances that they were under Ferguson, the figures show this too, under Ferguson Aaron McLean, Craig Mackail-Smith and George Boyd, the three players generally regarded as Poshs best attacking threats, collectively scored a total of 22 goals in 20 matches. Their figures under Cooper are dramatically decreased, with just 5 goals scored between them in 13 games and with the club only scoring 1 goal in 2010 so far.Popular choices for the next manager at Peterborough with the fans are Aidy David Robertson Jersey Boothroyd formerly at Watford and recently appointed Colchester manager, Steve Cotteril the ex Burnley manager and Jim Gannon, the gaffer who worked wonders with a Stockport side. However question marks loom over all of these men, Boothroyd has only just got the Colchester job, Cotteril has been out of management for over 4 years now and someone of Jim Gannons character is unlikely to want to work with Barry Fry, another larger than life character.Whatever happens this season, unle s dramatically turned around, is one Posh fans are wishing to forget, the club has faltered and now looked doomed to be heading back down Rhys Hoskins Jersey the leagues and losing most of their top talent with it, the stability of the club since MacAnthonys arrival has gone and now The Posh find themselves in a me s the need to get themselves out of fast. Whoever gets the new job as manager of Peterborough United no doubt has a challenge on their hands.
