What nonsense from Paul Cook! 13:57 - Mar 24 with 2703 viewswkj

"Because the majority of players I’ve worked with, I’ve never had them out of contract, I don’t allow it."

What kind of way is this to manage a football club?!?!?! That'll never catch on here...

Dont forget though Lambert was also of a similar opinion. The contract issue has an ipswich problem for many many years

"The contract issue has an ipswich problem for many many years" would be very much the reason this post is written with nuance and sarcasm.

The risk of being out of contract became an obsession for Lambert from day 1.

Now comes the point we must consider - Was it just PR waffle as he knew we were sensitive to it - or dead he mean it.

it's a knock on from our recruitment issues, isn't it? We're pretty active in renewing players who are playing well and have re-sale value, but that hasn't been very many players in the last few years.

More of an “Evans problem” perhaps , since he likes to be doing ALL the major roles at HIS club? That’s the single biggest problem .

It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer

Cook is very pro " recruitment manager" he had one at wigan and pompy. Allows him to concentrate on managing.

With all the outing Lambert made about lack of structure publicity. I wonder if we will finally start to see some new staff additions.

Dave Bowman essentially has that role - although has been less involved under the last two managers - so I would expect someone to come in and replace him.

We see his name a bit. But never really hear about his involvement. Is he quite media shy or just literally in the background

Sounds like a job for Lee O'Neill, he needs to start earning his keep.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

I don't think he's ever done anything media-wise. He was Mick's chief scout but co-ordinated all that side of things as I understood it, got the director of football job title as Steve McCall was the chief scout when he came in but moved on the following summer.

Bowman seemed fairly capable when trusted, got some good players in for Mick.

Knew exactly what Mick was looking for having worked with him for years. I expect he'll end up at Cardiff in the summer, if not before.

But we’re much improved on the days of Macauley etc.

I would suggest that the reason why we have the current situation is because most of the names haven’t done enough to justify a new contract. I’d rather have this than be forced to employees a lot of these players for the next 2-3 years
