Stripes or die Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Who in their right mind would join this club? Pulis is well connected and well respected in the game and the way he has been treated (and his experience) will put off a lot of good people. My fear is we are fit only for chancers, yes men and any others with nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 McMigo clearly has a problem with Maths it seems. Wigan would not have been relegated last season were it not for a 10 point Administration deduction by the EFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook did wonders with them last season especially when the supposed rumours about point deduction kicked in. After the lockdown they were on fire and even beat Hull 8-0.

We would be out of the relegation zone without a points deduction. but we have one that needs to be dealt with. like Wigan had when Paul cook was manager and didn’t deal with it.

You'd be able to find fault with anybody who's touted for the job. There is no perfect candidate and there's always an element of luck required in any managerial appointment. IMHO Cook is as good a bet as anyone who we could realistically attract. Knows the league (and league 1), worked at teams with limited budgets, had success and plays decent football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 12 point deduction and it was only imposed about four weeks before the end of the season as far as I recall, so McMigo's criticism of Cook is ridiculous. Between them, Pulis and Monk have had far longer to overhaul our six points deduction and have failed. I’d accept Cook in a heartbeat. Cook also had a charlatan of a chairman to deal with ………oh, that makes him even more of a shoe in for the Wednesday job! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers names get touted for a reason, because they are suitable and have prior success. The same reason the likes of Morais and Luhukay don't get touted. Cook achieved promotions with three consecutive clubs, a phenomenal achievement, one that mirrors a certain Chris Wilder and look how successful he has been. Cook has been paid up from these clubs to go elsewhere because the serial success he has had in football. I personally wanted him when both Monk and Pulis got the job and still believe he is the standout candidate, can spot a player, is a tough character and knows the leagues whilst having consistent success, why would he not get touted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook plays an attacking brand of football, spots good young loanees, e.g Reece James at Chelsea and has won promotions at Chesterfield, Portsmouth and Wigan Athletic. He has been a serial winner in football management. Hi Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Cook got a team promoted from league 1 and kept them up despite their limited quality, bar a points deduction beyond his control. He's experienced in getting a performance out of the type of players we have, which should be an important consideration. At best, he's a mid table manager but right now I'd take that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think Duncan Ferguson would leave a cushty job at a club who are second in the PL and who he supports to come and manage us? I’ll have one of whatever you’ve got.

He couldn’t. same as Garry monk, who incidentally is the most recent manager to do what Paul cook didn’t do - keep a team up with a points deduction .
