Guest Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 You can’t judge anything at this point of the season, Ipswich have a squad that absolutely should compete for the top 2 in this league , and I think they’ll be up there come the end of the season wether that’s with Cook as boss or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screen Door Slams Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Me........................at the time we gave it pulis i thought he was the best candidate.....................lets see how he does at Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I wanted Cook after we sacked Pulis. He's got a very good record at this level and I expect he'll get Ipswich firing in time. However, I also thought we were looking for a manager who was unemployed at the time, and didn't for one minute expect us to even consider poaching Moore from Donny. They're both good managers, but I'm happy with Moore and the rebuild he's overseen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Cook brought Francis fookín Jeffers with him to Ipswich as a coach, I think a few people who wanted him here after Monk/Pulis (myself included) would’ve changed their mind as soon as that spineless ballbag turned up. It’s obviously very early days but a lot of Ipswich fans don’t seem very happy with Cook, especially after he’s been backed in the transfer market.

Maybe we still get relegated and we lose the first three with terrible recruitment. Cooks current and future failures/successes at Ipswich have absolutely no bearing on whether he would or would not have been a good appointment. I’ll go as far as saying if Iorfa doesn’t get injured we stay up regardless of the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetherivelinowl Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Fans on their forum don't rate Cook at all. And it's not just the poor start, apparently they were dire under him at the end of last season too. He blamed it on what he inherited so did a complete revamp over the summer. They think he can't get a tune out of them either, even though they look like quality individuals (apart from Penney who they're unsure about). They say performances have got worse with each game so far. It's early days. His track record says he'll turn it round if the fans give him time. I would have been delighted to get Cook but at the moment wouldn't swap him for DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been delighted to get Cook but at the moment wouldn't swap him for DM. Read a few posts on their forum suggesting Cook is struggling without his ex-assistant Leam Richardson, who stayed on at Wigan. They’ve got a massive backroom staff according to Wikipedia but Cook just has a few inexperienced first team coaches (including that coward Jeffers) instead of an assistant, which seems strange. Good for us though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for us, we will lose games this season, the important things are always bouncing straight back and solid home form. Agree ealy days. We have had a decent start but, 3 goals from 3 games is not great. If we have 22 points after 10 games, will believe we will get out of this league.

sammo Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Easy to pick this out in hindsight but you've got to remember it wasn't a straight choice between Moore and Cook. Cook was available with a good track record - hence the clamour, Moore was employed and none of us expected Chansiri to bother with employed managers. Still stick by him being the best suitable candidate that was clearly available (i.e. unemployed and interested) at the time. Far too early to write off Ipswich - they'll come good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Me. Thought he was the stand out candidate at the time. But as my ex will tell anyone that will listen I am wrong about everything. But I think DM is turning out to be an excellent choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Yes I wanted Paul Cook. Has a decent record as a manager and a couple of poor results doesn't change that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
