The Night-Owl Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Think Paul Cook would be a smart appointment, one which we should've appointed when Monk left at the time. Personally I'd like us to go for a foreign coach that has some experience over here or to look at lower league managers or coaches on the rise. There's risk involved whatever type of manager we get, we've been burned by experience; inexperience, British and foreign managers during recent years. I think though, apart from Carlos and Bruce, that the rest haven't suited how we play or suited how the club is ran. That's why, we might be best off targeting a foreign coach with experience of coaching over here under a similar set up or an modern British coach on the rise. Cook like Lowe, seems appealing has he at least seems more attack minded than our last couple of managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Don't really understand why so many seem actively aroused by the idea of Paul Cook!? He's done a good job wherever he's been and his team's play an attractive brand of football; but ultimately he's pretty unproven at this level and certainly hasn't managed a club with the expectations that we have here (whether they are reasonable or not they certainly do exist) Don't get me wrong, I could see the reasoning behind giving him the job, I just wouldn't be walking around with a stiffy and expecting to shoot up the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I guess three promotions with three different teams is pretty impressive. Maybe not as good as Warnock but still a strong record of achievement. Plays attacking football too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt he take Wigan out of the bottom 3 last season in this division and they lost about 2 games of their last 20 and beat Hull 8-0? Sounds experienced enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very popular with the players. Big personality. Exactly what this fan base is crying out for. monk - kept up a team in this league with a points deduction and off field problems Cook - took down a team in this league with a points deduction and off field problems Sheffield Wednesday fans - we have off field problems and a points deduction, let’s get rid of a manager who has never failed to keep a team up in those circumstances , and replace him with someone with a 100 percent record of failing in those circumstances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in the Joao thread, we will never produce quality footballers, and players that might be coveted by bigger clubs, all the while persist in percentage football. I dread to think about the detrimental effect on our younger players, had we continued with Pulis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a whole world of managers out there, which is why I don’t understand why Paul Cook seems a unanimous choice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
