Utah Owl Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) When have we ever taken a lets see gamble? Gray has been the closest thing to that. I'm sticking with Gray think he could be the answer long term if we gave him a couple more seasons. However I think Cook would be a better option and would get us looking more of a promotion chasing side. Are you being serious? 1969 - Danny Williams - Had just won League Cup with Swindon (Lg1 equivalent at time) - we were relegated next season to Div 2 1974 - Steve Burtenshaw - Arsenal coach rated as up and coming - we were relegated next season to Div 3 1975 - Len Ashurst - Just promoted with Gillingham - we were nearly relegated to Div 4 escaped on last day and he lasted just over another season 1989 - Peter Eustace - Great servant to the club - played something like 11 matches and got deux points and pissed Sterland off so he left 1997 - Danny Wilson - Just took Barnsley to Premier - Took them and us down to Championship 2000 to 2003 Succession of Terry Yorath, Peter Shreeve, Paul Jewell and Chris Turner- need I say more 2009 - Alan Irvine - "One of the finest coaches in the game" We have a great track record of appointing up and coming managers, coaches etc. The simple truth is that the vast majority are single season or one club wonders who turn out to be completely dogger especially in a situation where you have a big club, with huge expectations, big ego's and more often than not tight fisted chairmen. Finally we get one who has worked wonders on a shoestring for the last 18 months and you want to get rid and experiment again without even giving him a chance with a decent budget! Sorry mate you must be off your rocker. Edited May 10, 2015 by Utah Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Could probably name 50 or so British managers that are better candidates to get Wednesday promoted than Cook. Stuart Gray would probably be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Don't get the clamour for him either. He's just rode on the back of what was left by uwe rosler He was DoF when Rosler was manager so probably played a big part in Rosler's success there.

themaskedowl Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 What the chuff is he going to Pompey for ? Exactly the question I was asking. If he's really up to moving things forward to the Prem at a club like Wednesday why would he be stepping down a division? Not a criticism of him btw, I mean his decision is all fair enough, but could he really be ready for the job we need? No reason to change right now. To get away from Chesterfield? Actually scratch that, the answer is clear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I. Personally think we need better than Gary. The dour try not to get beat megaton esque football isn't going to get you promoted. Don't think cook is the answer personally although I bet many Swansea fans said that about monk and he is arguably the manager of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I watched the semi-final yesterday and unless that was a 1 off, I thought Chessie were very poor. Their play was tired and laboured, the passing and decsision making was shocking and defending was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max greaves Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Why?, setting up not to lose games will not get us promoted. Chelsea set out not to lose games this season and they won the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
