theowlsman Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 How do you best describe Cook if you’re his agent? I suggest “He’s improved all the teams he’s been at”. On that basis, we have a winner, though as I said, wasn’t my first choice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been as convinced an appointment was as right for what we need since we hired Paul sturrock 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc1983 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Wasn’t Rowett odds on before Monk got the job? Don’t think Cook would be a bad appointment but still believe Chansiri will go Foreign or just keep rolling on with Thompson.

I haven't looked into it myself (just gone from what has happened/what people have said), but he froze out Windass for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett was early on, difference here is cook came in as favourite when was confirmed he had been in contact with club then slowly drifted whilst others on shortlist emerged, the bank sharp sudden move in market which happens 99% just before clubs appoint new managers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Slightly surprised if it is Paul Cook as lie other have said I was expecting a foreign appointment. Cook is the best choice to me but will find the off field problems insurmountable if the club isn't run a lot better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I imagine the lock down will have had an impact on the candidates. Reckon we'd have gone foreign if it wasn't for that Could be the slice of luck we've needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 But more importantly...... HE IS POSITIVE HE IS LIVELY HE PREFERS ATTACKING FOOTBALL HE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOUR HE WILL BE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR So, just like Ollie but with a lesser CV. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct especially as they tried to rob us blind over Zahore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernOwl Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Have to say I dont know much about how Cook approaches the game or sets his teams up. But he does seem to have a decent record and is probably as close as we will get to a candidate that most fans would be at least reasonably happy with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be just to the end of the season and then we bring In someone else. Give it me, I'm unknown, 10k a week please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
