Is he ME’s choice or new consortium’s or both? Quite possible that takeover could fall thru (as they often seem to) then PC is employed by ME not new consortium? |  | | |  |

Is that suppose to make me feel better!
I really would not hurry this one,we have plenty of people who can caretake, just get the new owners in and bedded,
then take a good hard look at what's available
I was at that EGM and learnt the lessons It has tought
Act in haste repent in leisure I think it goes. |
Who do you genuinely think we could appoint that would be a clear upgrade on Paul Cook? |  |

And unlike Lambert he has had recent success with a career thats gone from strength to strength. Moon and stick comes to mind this morning! |
Like Hurst was then.
Ah well, we'll see. With a bit of luck we'll be a completely different club behind the scenes if and when he comes. |  |

Have to remember that Evans is keeping 5% so will still have an interest in the club post-sale. | | | |

Not really like Hurst for me. Cook has got a team into the Championship and kept them there and in Wigan and Pompey he's managed clubs much more similar in stature to us than the likes of Grimsby and Shrewsbury. He's less of a gamble than Hurst. | |

Feels a bit like Emperor's New Clothes. No one wants him specifically but he is just the choice through pluralistic ignorance.
See Paul Hurst. See Paul Lambert. [Post edited 1 Mar 2021 7:59]

Lots on here, myself included, have wanted him here for a while. |  |

Hurst knocked aeound non league for 5 years, he'd done very well at Shrewsbury but ultimately didn't get them over the line
Cook's record is superb, year on year progress for best part of a decade - he really is a coup to attract here |  |

Yep, I'm amazed that people can't look at his record over the last decade and see that he is a great capture for us - IF he actually joins. Obviously no guarantees, but a manager with multiple promotions, survival in the championship, and playing half decent football ticks a lot of boxes.
Like you, I wouldn't have minded the Cowleys either, but Cook has always been my first choice. | |

Whoa hold your horses! Lambert has gone,Evans at the moment is still in charge,
If the talk is correct then the takeover is hopefully not far off then the new people will appoint Cook or whoever they want😀 | | | |

Cook has a win % of over 40% for over a decade at 3 different clubs (including Wigan who were a based case). It's nearly 50% at Portsmouth. I know win % isn't an ideal metric but it's something to consider.
At Chesterfield they went from nowhere, to 8th, to winners to L1 playoffs the next season. He won L2 with Chesterfield and Portsmouth and he won L1 with Wigan.
I don't think it's fair to bracket him in with Hurst who only ever did it at Shrewsbury.
Cook might not turn out to be brilliant but on paper he looks a good fit. You really can't mention him in the same breath as Hurst though.

Personally I would rather have had Nigel Pearson but whoever comes in should and must get us up out of this division asap.
The last week on the pitch has made doing it this season a bit easier than it looked a while back but that does not take away from my opinion that it should have happened last season. |
Why would Pearson go from managing in the PL to a 3rd tier club?
Some fans need a reality check as to where we are. |  |

Barry Fry probably had something to do with it if Evans was involved |  | | |

It probably means we will have to wait to see if the takeover is going to happen before a new manager is appointed .
No point in ME making the appointment if he is selling up .
Paul Cook might be in the frame , but maybe the consortium might want to aim higher | | | |

Can you give some names by who you mean for "aim higher"?
