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. |  | | |  |

By his very own admission, he is failing so far. |  |

No, but he didn;t expect a takeover to take place soon after joining, players downing tools, and finding out that 99% of the squad aren't fit etc etc There is so much to the picture other than PC joined, he'ss a rubbish manager. |  |

I think barely anybody on here is saying that, and if they are? Well, no answer to that, however, he's not started well, that doesn't mean he's a rubbish manager it just means he's used up some credit and so is probably going to get less leeway in the future. |  |

Probably has been replied already, but as i've seen you make this point already in the past it's worth another reminder and in capital letters THE AMERICANS HAVE PUBLICLY BACKED PAUL COOK |  |

Agreed. Have said many times, it's ok to be underwhelmed by his impact and performance so far (let's not forget Paul Cook has said he's disappointed with his performance as he expected to get us in the playoffs). And at the same time be prepared to judge him next season. (Although there's also a hint of deja vu). [Post edited 24 Apr 2021 20:43]

reason for me Joe, is clearly even a few game ago, the writing was on the wall regarding this season, so see it out, yet even today youve got people like hayens posting has he carried on making us worse yet etc.. before the games even finished. what is the expectation that all of sudden ignore what's been happening it's gonna click. no it's not, and it could easily end with 0 goals in the next 3 games. So no I don't see the point in posts asking if he's still making it worse, as until he is able to make the changes that need making, we are and PC is included in this painfully watching 'footballers, getting in promising positions and failing to score, no matter what he does, or how he speaks it isnt going to change the outcome. |  |

I think you just need to accept that you don't agree with those who question cook. Both positions are valid, and many sit in the middle at present. |  |

When Hurst was here, he also shook the apple tree, and the players pretty much downed tools. I would imagine PC has told them a few home truths and they have done the same. Now recruitment under Hurst was a disaster, but he had something right in that the attitude, quality and application is not there. |  |

Depends on what his instructions/aims were on his arrival to a club on the verge of the playoff places. If the instruction was to make sure that we do not get promoted then he has not failed, if the idea was to at least make the playoffs then he has failed. Perhaps our Owners from over the water fancied another season in the third division but I would be surprised if they did. He might actually turn out to be a success here if he is here long enough but he sure isn't doing too well at the moment. |  | |  |

I’m fully behind him and think he is a fantastic long term appointment for the club. I also think he’s currently doing a lousy job and really fcuked up a golden opportunity to get us in the top six. |  |

It doesn't. The question is /was aimed at the few people who think Cook isn't the right man and if you look through some of the recent threads there are one or two. |  | |  |
So...all you people who think Cook is the wrong man on 09:08 - Apr 25 with 1859 views | NeedhamChris | Interviewer: You’ve talked about it being a long-term project but Ipswich are unbeaten in five, are two points off of the play-offs following three straight wins. From day one, there's an expectation placed on you, isn't there? PC: Absolutely nothing to do with me all that, but you keep telling everyone I'm being involved, that'll do me lovely. I think when you look at Ipswich and a couple of the clubs, certainly being in the play-offs is possibly what should be expected. We're a big club in the league, of course we are, and we all have to take that pressure on board. I think not being in the play-offs, there's a load of different reasons. We've had a load of injuries and there's been a lot of good players missing. Paul Lambert had just got the club on a couple of wins on the bounce and they followed that up with Tuesday. Fortunately for us all that situation was the situation, the rights and wrongs of that are not my concern and I certainly won't be delving into that. Going forward now, we're coming into a team and a squad that, with a manager changing, is in a unique position of being in a good place, they are very confident, they are looking upwards and our job now as staff is to make sure we fuel that fire. I’d go back to that unbeaten run under PL right now thank you very much. |  |

It may not be one I totally agree with but its a point that certainly makes sense. |  | |  |
