For the same reason allegedly, might be waiting a while to walk into an 18-month+ contract at this level in the current climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 20 minutes ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: If we get relegated, Paul Cook would be a pretty handy manager to have in League One though, wouldn't he? If he took us down he should be on his bike, not rewarded with a 1yr con ..tract. He won't get a better offer this season anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Who does this lower league manager Paul Cook think he is, rejecting us and Cardiff. Where does he plan on ending up exactly? Wind yer neck in mate 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookowl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just now, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Right. So they didn't 'look straight past him', then. I wasn't meaning they didn't look straight past him, I was meaning they maybe rated him the same as we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes or die Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Good news. Would not have been a good move for him or us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gizowl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 What sort of confidence vote for your potential new manager is offering him a 4 month contract, the only person open to that sort of deal is a interim in our case Thompson.

gurujuan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 2 minutes ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: I'll be honest, I can't. If the worst happens and we are in League One next season, you know who'd be great to have at the helm? Paul Cook. Agree, yes, and he’d probably offered a contract to attempt that. Suppose DC might be wary of offering something longer, in case we somehow manage to stop up, but yet are not convincing. He then might have a plan to take things in a totally new direction.

He won't get a better offer this season anyway.. If we wind up in League One, then whoever manages us for the next four months will be behind several others when it comes to culpability. Starting a new season in League One, I can't think of many better managers to have in charge than Cook, to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a decent chance of avoiding relegation. If it goes apeshyte under cook, he should be sacked...anyone else would. Nothing against him...definitely not an 18mth contract though at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that neither club really rate him? It would seem strange to offer the job to somebody if that's the case, wouldn't it? Especially in a situation as dire as ours, and after the chairman spoke about the need to make the 'right' appointment this time around. I can see why Cook might find such an offer unappealing, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I can see it both ways. Obviously wanted a longer deal, but maybe should have backed himself to have the confidence that 6 months is taking the ******** and proved to DC that he was worth longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kameron Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I don't see what Cook has to offer, he's another run of the mill manager who's achieved little in the game. Good managers aren't sat at home stroking the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
