Pearce: Forest boss Cooper deserves Manager of the Year if he takes his red-hot side up
Steve Cooper should be named the LMA's Manager of the Year if he succeeds in guiding Nottingham Forest back to the Premier League, according to former City Ground favourite Stuart Pearce. Forest were a top flight club for 11 of the left-back's 12 seasons at Forest but have spent just one season among the elite since Pearce's departure in 1997. Ad/> Pearce was later one of a seemingly endless string of managers who were unable to turn the tide on the Trent but he believes Cooper is the man to take them back to the promised land.
