Just for balance me being 100% behind him is because he has done it all before, more than once, and will be rid of this underperforming ( for a long time) squad very soon. Over to you and remember to let us all know who you would have as manager. |  | | |  |

So...all you people who think Cook is the wrong man on 19:44 - Apr 24 by NeedhamChris | Yes. I just don’t believe the part about cook being their man too. That would be quite a coincidence and he doesn’t quite fit the CEO and head of recruitment model. I think cooks chances to succeeding are quite high. I just think that we could probably attract better for a rebuilding project and if there’s any doubt that he’s the one to spend the money I’d get rid. Right man wrong time. |
he won't be spending the money that is why the recruitman chap has been brought in |  | |  |

It's open to questioning, but it's really not a huge coincidence. Paul Cook and the Cowleys were the obvious candidates in anyone's book. |  |

So...all you people who think Cook is the wrong man on 19:44 - Apr 24 by chrismakin | I'd rather have a manger who has recent experience and success at building a squad to get promoted from this league Paul Cook is that man |

So...all you people who think Cook is the wrong man on 19:43 - Apr 24 by Coastalblue | You seem to have nailed your colours to the mast so firmly it appears as though you've left yourself nowhere to go and don't seem able to look at things objectively. I've said a number of times and still believe that Cook should be here at the end of next season almost regardless of what happens between now and then, however, he's struggling at the moment and burning through the credit he arrived with fast. I don't really care whether other clubs have said he's an arrogant aloof fecker or the best man manager in the league, I only care about what he does here, and so far it's been disapointing to say the least. |
"yourself nowhere to go and don't seem able to look at things objectively." When we sacked Lambert, I wanted a manager to come in who could handle the squad rebuild we would need to have in the summer, and someone who we could trust to get us up. At the time I thought we had lost out on PC and was gutted, however I was delighted when he was confirmed as he I have no doubts he will succeed. If he doesn't so be it, he'll lose his job. Regarding looking at things objectively. I have, it's the ones who can't see past this season which are the ones who aren't looking objectively |  |

He didn't. Not 'recent' success. Historic success maybe. Keane had recent experience and success. |  |

So...all you people who think Cook is the wrong man on 19:19 - Apr 24 by Marshalls_Mullet | Most people are behind cook, but some are underwhelmed. Thats ok. I am happy to see cook build his own team and get a pre season behind him. Hopefully his track record speaks for itself... ...then again, Jewell and Lambert had multiple promotions behind them too... |
Jewell had success with Wigan followed by multiple failures. The we hired him. Lambert had success with Norwich followed by multiple failures. Then we hired him. Cook had success with three different clubs. Then we hired him. In what way is your comparison valid? |  | |  |

On page 3, unfortunately he had a fair number of years of failure when he came to us PC however the most recent successful manager of this league. with 0 failures like PL So you're close but miles off. |  |

Which is my point! That’s not a natural fit when you look at Cooks history, and we’re not exactly seeing an ability to get the best out of other players he hasn’t chosen. I’m not anti-Cook per se. I’m just pro-getting someone in that perfectly fits this new structure we have [Post edited 24 Apr 2021 19:55]

Don't get your knickers in a twist. The point was weve had managers with a track record of success. Jewell despite his failures had won promotion from the Championship TWICE with two different clubs. Keane also had a very recent promotion on his CV. Just pointing out that it's no guarantee. |  |

Keane was fired by Sunderland. After promotion, he failed. |  | |  |

So...all you people who think Cook is the wrong man on 19:56 - Apr 24 by chrismakin | The difference is we've hired failed managers before, PC doesn't fall into their group. And Keane, well That's Evans going for the BIG media signing after 1 promotion full of spending, £7 mill for gordan for example. [Post edited 24 Apr 2021 19:58]

Keane had 2 years and 100 games. Cook has had 2 months and 13 or 14 games with somebody else’s players. |  | |  |

I'm not saying he should be sacked, just saying that he'll be disappointed with his own performance. |  |

"I was very confident I’d lead the team into the play-offs so to say I’m disappointed in myself is an understatement. I think I should be getting more out of these players and I’m disappointed I’m not." |  |

So...all you people who think Cook is the wrong man on 20:05 - Apr 24 with 1707 views | MrTown | He has been here 7 weeks, I know there is an ‘instant success’ culture in football but he needs time, that’s just the fact of the matter. He will everything he needs in the summer, capacity to realistically move who he wants out, and I am sure he will be able to get a lot of his top targets. He’s a proven manager, with success time and time again. He will get this spot on, he will be a top manager for this club. |  |

So are you now having a go at him for being positive to the media when he joined to give them a confidence boost? I thought you didn't like him being negative and honest Which is it? |  |

He's still manager, he's not failed. How can you fail if you haven't finished you career at ipswich. |  |

You’re cherry picking left right and centre here to justify your point. So you think at PCs interview he said to ME, you can write this season off as we’ll never make top 6 and ME went for that? |  |
