Owls Loyal Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 CircleSeven described Paul Cook as: "Just a safe pair of hands. Not hugely dissimilar to the Monk feedback before he came here." I guess the key difference was that Paul Cook has achieved promotions in the EFL with three different clubs whereas Monk has achieved none.

Bing Cosby Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 There's no way Paul Cook will be our new manager. I think those so excited at the prospect need to accept that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this is what happens when there is a vacuum, people just fill it with noise. I have no idea if Paul Cook would be any good or not. I literally don’t know anything about him other than what it says on Wikipedia and on Owlstalk. I do remember us playing Wigan but am unable to say that I remember them being so good and entertaining that I coveted their manager! How does everyone else know so much about Cook? Is everyone else sat watching reruns of Wigan matches in their spare time? Or are they just repeating things they hear other people say? I’ve had a grub around on the interweb and the Wigan fans aren’t universally praising him as a footballing genius. Just a safe pair of hands. Not hugely dissimilar to the Monk feedback before he came here. Same here. I have no real interest in who the next manager is, mainly because that position is largely irrelevant at our club currently. Until the owner is changed then this won't change. That's why the "normal" style of Manager; Monk, Pulis, Cook(?) Etc can not succeed here. Coming back to my point, I would just ask that anyone posting things, like this OP, also provide some factual basis for their claims. That's all.

Guest Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Alonso has 100% made contact and spoken with Cook. Not sure if it’s completely dead or if there is a chance for us to get him, time will tell. But the longer it lingers on the more desperate we’ll become.

Owls Loyal Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have never met Paul Cook and probably never will. I did meet Nigel Paerson coming out of White Hart Lane once after a fantastic Wednesday win at Spurs. It did happen, it is not just a dream My post is really about the fact that where you get two camps of Advisors it will often happen that tactically the lesser light will propose a different course of action. Nixon has suggested this is the case at SWFC. Erik Alonso backing Paul Cook for the job would be perfectly understandable and DC may well prefer a change of advice after the Pulis appointment.
