If he was confident then he would take the job for 4 month's and make it impossible not to be offered an extension by winning games and keeping us up. Not bothered either way about Cook but surely unless he has something else lined up employment wise then you take the 4 month's? Maybe he is backing himself and feels he is worth more than a 4 month contract and someone else will give it to him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) A deal to the end of the season with a guaranteed 2 year extension if we stay up would be sensible. But knowing DC it'd be just the first bit, he doesn't do "sensible". . Edited January 27, 2021 by alanharper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already paid 2 managers contracts. What if cooked was worse than the previous 2?

Manwë Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's either : A) multi-billion investment in the summer who won't want to pay off Cook's £250/week contract. B) manager who is currently not performing as well as last year and going to be out of a job in the summer, basically Klopp. C) Chansiri hasn't a clue about anything. I'm going for A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's no surprise he's turned it down if we only offered a 4 month contract. Cook's got a decent CV with a track record of promotions under his belt. If he's going to take over a club in our current state and with Chansiri calling the shots as he does, then he's risking his reputation for very little return should Chansiri decides to part ways in 16 weeks' time. He'd basically be a caretaker manager in all but name, and the players would know it, too. We've seen in the past how they have it in them to down tools when the mood takes them. If Cook had to make some difficult decisions, he might struggle to assert his authority if the players know he's likely on his way in a matter of weeks anyway. It's fair enough if parachuting into a crisis club and firefighting isn't what he fancies at this point in his career, especially after what he had to contend with at Wigan. Much better for him to wait for a more long-term project, even if it means starting from a lower division and building the team up, as he has several times before. As for us, I dread to think who might fancy the job if these are the terms on offer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Knowing Chansiri, he probably expects Cook to get us promoted after those 4 months. Not surprised he’s told him where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 No manager with any pride is going to take a job where he has little control over football matters on a 4 month contract. As was speculated weeks ago, the only candidates Chansiri will attract are chancers and the desperate. The irony is that Chansiri is more than likely to get us relegated, in which case we'd be lucky to get Cook, given his credentials in getting teams promoted from L1. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteOwl91 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think instead of, on this one, everyone just piling in at chansiri for only offering 4 months... Does it not beg the question why Cardiff offered Cook exactly the same? Neither have offered him more than 4 month contracts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says the club has no confidence it has selected the right man & has no medium or long term plan. Also undermines your authority with the players before you start.

He's not going to get a PL job, probably wouldn't apply for many L1 jobs, so really only looking at Championship. Not that many opportunities. there has been opportunities - Notts forest - Cardiff - Derby - Watford - Bournemouth (start of season) They all opted not for Cook - Cardiff who probably is the ideal club for him went for McCarthy Like I said if he was that sought after , he would have been snapped up by now 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootHoot Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Short term contracts make sense for a club in our position. We can't afford to keep paying managers off. I think for once its good business sense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
