It was the owl eye patch that PC was wearing that convinced the writer wasn't it? 

[HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU]

I thought the speed in which Mr C sacked the last manager mean't we had someone lined up

 

For me, the only option is Cook, he will have a decent idea of what is needed within the sqwuad

 

An outsider won't have a clue and will have to rely heavily on the current advisers at the club re new signings

 

Watching the goings on at this club reminds me of the old seventies Carry On films

 

Sid James would play a great Mr C

Can’t see this farce ending any time soon. Reckon once the players were paid the upturn in form would have seen Monk collect at least a few points during the ten matches under Pulis. Kind of thing sacking Monk was a tad pointless from what has followed.

The new managers door will open as soon as the jan transfer door shuts 

[flash]

Probably along the lines of Erik Alonso is recommending PC - he knows the fans ideally would like him. Paxo is recommending someone else. 
 

The fact that PC ruled himself out would mean a huge U-turn by DC in our clubs transfer policy. Can’t see it being PC.

'Even though Chansiri is wary of his lack of experience managing a club as large as Wednesday...'

 

 

Chansiri: 'Sheffield Wednesday, actually is not that big.'

Has Cook actually ruled himself out?

I don't think he has but the club would have to agree to giving Paul Cook a lot more control on things like recruitment than they currently would like for him to be interested.
Not impossible Cook could still get the job but unlikely I feel.

For once in a long time we have time to appoint the right man. we haven't dropped any points and the next game is suspended. no need to rush at all.

if anything his comments ruled him back in! it seemed to me that it was a warning shot saying look if you don't offer it me this time thats it.

No he hasn't.  Said at time the comments were mainly to get fans onside to support him as new boss.

 

All part of one of the recruitment sides campaign to get their man.

i disagree to an extent.  Other (well run) clubs will speak to managers before they sack their current one.  Cardiff or Millwall  might be talking to cook today for example and offering him their jobs.  So if we want to hire a specific person you always need to act fast

It would be quite handy to have a manager in place to set the parameters of our recruitment in the next two weeks, otherwise we run the risk of wasting yet more money.

It won't be a manager.

[OWLERTON GHOST]

Manager setting parameters ...

Organisation of recruitment...

Don't build your hopes up too much lads........

It's now becoming apparent why TP was fighting a losing battle all along.

"Even though Chansiri is wary of his lack of experience managing a club as large as Wednesday, he also knows that a popular appointment is vital to get the fans back on side".

 

Is he talking about Paul Cook or himself?

 

[0114]

Cook didn’t rule himself out. Just said that talks weren’t currently on going. 
 

He said “I wish Sheffield Wednesday going forward, whether it’s Paul Cook or any manager, the best of luck because it’s a fantastic club with fantastic support.”

 

Sounds like he’s had an interview. But it hasn’t been a yes or no. 
 

For me he’s an absolute standout. 3 Trophies at Sligo. Titles at Chesterfield, Portsmouth and Wigan and all of those achievements in the last 11 years. Not been sacked since Southport in 2007 (1st job) and every job since then he’s only left due to him being pinched by another club (aside from leaving Wigan).
