That doesn't necessarily mean he isn't available. He's hardly going to come out and say he wants rid of him when he knows there's at least one club interested.

I'm sure I saw a tweet last week from him saying if they dont get promoted he will step down. Can't find it though so might just be imagining it![/quote ]
You’re right he did say it, he did tender his resignation but it was rejected by the board
Well he won't be in Peterborough's starting XI for the beginning of next season if MacAnthony gets his way:

Bit of a nothing report in their local rag.
Him - He wants to stay and fight for a place. Would he say any different?
Club - hes ours unless someone bids for him... Not exactly an arm around the shoulder and reassuring him of his future.

If I were Darren Ferguson I'd be a bit miffed about Peterborough's owner constantly tweeting about football related matters which really should be his jurisdiction.
That's MacAnthony's style, always has been & the two go way back. I prefer the Simon Hallett / Ryan Lowe was of doing things for sure thoughCobi Budge":2oyntt6e said:
On Cooper, in the pre Corona world he'd have commanded a fee for sure so the question would be is it a fee we can afford, and would choose to pay. If anything Corona will make Peterborough less likely to want to spend and so more likely to give Cooper a run in the team I would think with Maddison etc leaving and less keen to pay out to bring people in. If Argyle want him we'll have to make an offer that Peterborough want to accept, its probably as simple as that.
The comments from Barry Fry in this report: https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sport/football/plymouth-argyle-george-cooper-peterborough-4225867 seem quite confused and a bit contradictory to me. He says Cooper wants to stay and fight for his place and that Ferguson is happy for him to do that but then it also highlights some previous issues and says that if we paid the right amount they'd let him go. Those are hardly the words of a club that really wants to keep a player. I read them more that they ARE open for business as far as Cooper is concerned.
The thing that confuses me is that when Cooper first signed on loan it was reported that we had an option to buy him this summer. But since then there have been a lot of contradictory reports about that option including whether it exists at all or whether it was for the summer or for January. Obviously, even if such an option exists it is unlikely that we would be able to trigger it financially now, but I can't help but feel there is a lot of media posturing going on by Peterborough to try to persuade Argyle to pay for Cooper. One possible scenario is that we DO have an option but now want to pay less than any previously agreed amount and Peterborough DO want to sell but are trying to persuade Argyle to stick to the agreed deal. Peterborough's position is obviously weakened if Cooper wants to move but if he does he is not going to say that publicly as he won't want to burn his bridges with Ferguson.
Who knows eh?
