SallyCinnamon Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 3 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: What like relying on advisers/consultants to the most important role at the football club rather than a CEO who works for and for the club only? Doesn’t sound like there’s anything wrong with that to me. Certainly won’t be a conflict of interests which makes the decision progress take longer than it should. *to help appoint the Bad English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 A cynic might think that DC is holding back on appointing a manager until the transfer window closes. Especially after Pullis told him what was required and then sacked 2days later. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they put forward candidates who they have ties too? Why a CEO or DOF football is needed. Until it happens and a proper football structure is put in place, we will go from manager to manager with different ideas, philosophies and the club will continue to struggle. Or they know they're going to get a pay day from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Cook should have been appointed by now. Yet again Chansiri messes about and will probably end up appointing whoever Paxo wants. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Not sure why the delay, if DC wanted Cook would be in by now. Might as well just give it to Thompson, no signings so does not really matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 If Chansiri doesn’t allow a new manager to get some signings in we will deserve everything we get. We are a joke upfront, have been all season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Agree with everyone on here. Cook would be in by now if he was getting the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just had a thought re- delay with appointing Cook. Maybe he was never going to get the job in the first place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Having read most posts, it seems the majority don't want Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Cook reportedly wants the job. I don't see any other rumoured candidate more suitable for the job. Considering the clubs he's worked at, his nous for unearthing lower league bargains and getting the most out of a difficult hand, Cook would be a sensible appointment. Especially if by how it appears, that finances are tightly constrained and we have to rely on youth and loanees. Therein lies the issue, Chansiri's rarely done anything sensible during his entire reign and fears that he'll go leftfield and appoint someone like Coleman or some journeyman, could recklessly happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don’t understand the fascination, it’s bonkers. A good lower league record at a few clubs and it’s like the second coming of Klopp. Look, I get in our predicament he may not be a bad choice. He has vast experience managing poor players and teams and doing well with them, so will probably be able to rally this lot up. I’d still prefer a manager whose managed at a higher level and is tactically stronger with better contacts That’s just personal preference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d still prefer a manager whose managed at a higher level and is tactically stronger with better contacts That’s just personal preference I could get behind the contacts point if it were not for the fact that cook had gotten hold of some really good loans at Wigan. The "tactically stronger" argument is a disrespectful comment, no reason why managers who have worked their way up through the Leagues successfully cannot be very strong tactically. In fact you could argue when you are managing a club like wigan competing at a lever where your resources are less than your competitors then you need to be tactically better than your peers to complete/survive. I don't bey for a minute that a manager like Scott Parker is a tactical genius but he got Fulham promotion by having a much better squad with more resources than other teams. What wilder achieved at the blades getting them up and staying up was every bit as impressive tactically and coaching wise than the "tactical god" that bielsa is made out to be at Leeds and wilder like cook worked his was up having sucess at Every level and knew league inside and out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re just working with better players and spending more money. Aiden O’Brien couldn’t get more out of the donkeys on Filey beach than the old lass who owns them.
