Trying to apply logic to the situation. Get him!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks like he would give Rotherham Owls coach a run for their money. He could be our new Marco Matias haha. Who do/did you want? Cook reminds me of managers like Dean Smith and Sean Dyche in a lot of ways. I remember people not wanting Smith when he was at/left Brentford. Cook could be our Smith/Dyche, hopefully. Hold my hands up to Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Cook seems to be the guy that brings the fan base together. DC masterclass incoming ...welcome Joey Barton 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more relived we weren't going for some left field foreign coach noone had ever heard of - that might be a better way of describing it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls66 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 From that video, it looks like he knows more than he's letting on. Would not be surprised if he's announced very soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think this formation will suit Reach,Harris, Windass,Kachunga and Brown way more than what we currently play with those 5 fighting it out for the 3 places behind a front man. His Wigan team had some decent attacking players and usually gave us a hard time. He certainly doesn’t park the bus. He’d be quite close to what we had in Brian Laws. Able to communicate with fans which is key here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109Waddle Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He genuinely sounds like he would want to come here and be successful. I think he’d respect the club and fans and do his best to get us winning games. Pulis and Monk always sounded like they knew better then everyone else and losing atrociously was never their fault. I don’t think we’d get that with cook. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the game big Ron’s team started to click into shape? I was aldershot and hirst came on and all players were passing to him for him to score? Still didn’t but he soon started? The team was struggling a bit and all of a sudden bingo! Although still went down after playing some great stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook should have got the job instead of him, if he's got it now I would be happy. I was wanting/thinking it would be a foreign coach like Ivić, Fink or that Swiss guy I think with the name beginning with R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) There are one or two candidates out there who I’d rather entrust with a longer term rebuild, but maybe they aren’t necessarily what’s required right now. Pretty certain DC, having been burnt, will insist on a deal only until the end of the season. That won’t particularly interest those who might be looking to build something more sustainable. If Cook comes in until the end of the season, and passes his audition, then he’s in prime position to be the option going forward. If he isn’t that convincing, and just staying up, to my mind wouldn’t be enough, then we can think about some of the other more suitable candidates. If Cook however, comes in and produces that late Wigan form, then he could get himself a long term deal.
