honest owl Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Paul Cook , has got all his last three clubs promoted, must be worth a shout we can’t carry on with the merry go round most owls fans are now under no illusions that we are anything but a poor championship side with no money to spend , so hopefully are not expecting anything above survival , that has to be our goal , then see where we go , but it will be years before challenging for promotion again , there is just to much wrong at the club and deep down we all know it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Cook must know how bob we are, so at least if he gets it he knows what’s on his plate. He’s fought relegation before and as far as we know he wants the job. As far as I can see he’s the standout candidate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the foreigners I fear, and the gamble that they would represent. We need a manager who knows us and knows this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fink has drifted to 20-1 and my enthusiasm has gone the same way. What a time to be a Wednesday fan. Wouldn’t read too much into it. Before pulis was appointed, Phil Neville and Sol Campbell were amongst the front runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is though is the only thing relevant to the level we are at is his record of 1 x Championship relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 A club who has been out of the top league for over 20 years, probably can't attract or demand the "big" names anymore. I would like us to get a Manager and coaching team who can motivate and galvanise the squad/club. You don't have to be a big name to achieve the success.

matthefish2002 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I dont get why many are turning their nose up at Paul Cook. If we were an established Premier League club we might be looking for a bigger name. Think its more likely Paul Cook might be setting his sights higher than a club fighting relegation from the Championship and unlikely to have a lot of money to bring players in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegated due to a 12 point deduction which was given through no fault of Cook. Even then he very nearly kept them up despite having one of smallest budgets in the division. I’ve seen a few people on here trot out the same line you did. It’s one of the most disingenuous arguments you’ll see on Owlstalk in recent times. But you know that already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a philosophy of how he wanted to play during that first season and the transfer committee seemed to bring in players that managed to fit this mold such as Bannan, Hooper, Forestieri etc. It was really the second season when we started spunking mega money on has been wages and players that didn't fit the system where it all started to come undone I think. Obviously we can debate until the cows come home how much of that was down to Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Cook or Barton would be preferable to someone like Morais and some of the names Nixon mentioned. Barton clearly isn’t liked by many but his fleetwood side looked decent when I saw them. doing better than Lowes Plymouth and some wanted him.
