Athelwulf Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 2 hours ago, Bing Cosby said: There's no way Paul Cook will be our new manager. I think those so excited at the prospect need to accept that. After the latest interview he gave on TV, I agree. Not that I think it damaged his chances, I hasten to add. That's the interview of a man who's 100% certain he'll not be offered the job. Whomsoever we appoint - if anyone - it won't be Cook IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEELWORKER Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I suggest that Chansiri leaves now and takes Paixao with him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marro Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I think as a fan base we just have to be cautious regarding Alonso. He may or may not want Cook. I know Alonso is engaging with fans which is a positive but part of that is to get fans on side and maybe improve his bargaining power / sway with Chansiri. Seemingly well natured / positive actions can be used to serve a hidden agenda. Let’s just keep an open mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 If I was Chansiri I’d sack this Alonso guy off quick sharp Courting the fans, chatting to them of his ambition for the club, boasting he was a shareholder on his socials then deleting it etc etc No ta - get him gone Too many alarm bells ringing on this one 8 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 7 hours ago, BIG D said: What media reports? Not disputing your claims but I didn’t see them. Pulis was Paixao man that was well reported. Nixon gets info from Paixao camp and he reported all foreign short list and said Cooke being on short list was news to him.. Frostick broke news on Alonso Nixon did not know about him. Nixon has recently stated two recruitment camps looking for manager other is Alonso. Therefore I reckon by process of elimination it must have been some member of Alonso camp who pushed Cook forward unless their is third recruitment group. Think OP just put info together that is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just been told Ivic will take charge of league games and Cook will take charge of cup matches. The first one to lose will be sacked. If drawing after 3 games, it will be settled with arm wrestle in the Railway beer garden, tickets are for sale in advance only. £39.00, first 40,000 only...no refunds. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I like Erik. He’s an adviser so he can tweet what he wants. Be a bit more concerned it was a member of staff tweeting like a jilted love on social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Anyone remember the days when Bert McGee would sit around the Boardroom table with other Directors all of whom had Wednesday in their blood. They would then make a decision over a new manager. He got some right and some wrong but I would love to see a similar group set up by DC. I suspect Paul Cook would now be two weeks into the job.

WAWAWUTO17 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 For me the Alonso bloke seems to be using social media to his advantage and looking at what the fans are interested in. That is a good adviser. It wouldn't surpise me if he looks at owlstalk etc. You need someone at the club like this to help relations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
