Just compare the two: Paul Cook as Manager Chesterfield - promotion Portsmouth - promotion Wigan Athletic - promotion Poached bu both Portsmouth and Wigan Bullshitter Monk as Manager No promotions No play off appearances Fired by Swansea, fired by Boro, fired by Brum Million percent we should get him in!,plays some attractive football and I know for a fact, he does not take any shhhiyte!

Bert McGee to his credit said right I am going to get him and her pulled it off. The rest is history. We now need DC to show that he too can go and bring a Manager in demand to Hillsborough. You are right though that first Bullshitter Monk needs to be given his marching orders. Bruce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_owl Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) It is a yes from me. To give Monk free reign this summer on players, signing them on 2/3 year contracts is going to end in disaster. This is such an important summer for the club, the most important for years and I have zero confidence Monk will deliver. There is a bit inside of me which thinks, maybe he deserves a chance but i think we are way past the, "lets see what happens", i want a manager that i believe will get the players playing like a team. Not like a team of fannies who play until the 80th minute. Edited July 24, 2020 by Brad_owl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Cook is a very strong character and extremely ‘passionate’ on the touchline. None of this standing about, hands in pockets and shoe gazing like some 80’s acid head. Occasionally gets sent to the stands for clashing with opposition bench and/or officials. Would be loved by the Hillsborough crowd. Gets promoted pretty much everywhere he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Another manager who will get swallowed up and spat out here. As Bruce proved, its needs a strong experienced manager to succeed here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want to be in a situation where Monk starts to rebuild and is released just before start or early into season. If it's going to happen, it needs to be now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that with the reaction Monk got out of ours That was the point I made the other day. Hugely disappointing knowing what could potentially have been at stake.

He will have a few after him Indeed. I'm not sure why so many of our fans think we're a hugely attractive prospect for an ambitious manager with a growing reputation. If anything, we're a career killer. Is Cook actually available? AFAIK he's still employed at Wigan. If he walks, or is pushed, there'll be more attractive jobs than ours available to him.

NorthernOwl Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Out of the managers we might have any chance of attracting he would have to be high on the list. Most importantly he has a record of past success which so many of the usual suspects don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Would like Cook here. But let's be honest Monk is here until at least February. He will get sacked about 3 days after the transfer window closes with us bottom of the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggowl Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 DC presumably still thinks we'll get into the premier league next season, without any players and possibly from League 1!!! Can't imagine that he thinks his appointment of Monk is not another excellent decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William 1867 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Keeping Monk is only going to end in disaster and I dont trust him with our future. So its a yes from me for Mr Cook please Mr Chansiri. MONK OUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Earlsfield Owl suggests that Paul Cook does not have sufficient experience to be our Manager. Well Cook has a career progression: Southport Sligo Rovers Accrington Stanley Chesterfield Portsmouth Wigan Athletic He has managed in 5 different leagues and won 3 promotions. I think he is ready. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
