So much of this is down to Hurst's disaster of a window.... 10:07 - May 13 with 5778 views | itfcjoe | All our middle aged players - i.e. those 25-30 - who are expected to be in their prime have let us done badly. Leaving us relying on a combination of the old guard and youngsters coming through Hanging those at the end of their careers and beginning of their careers out to dry And this is where we now are, where we are getting rid of good players that we have produced, who have never been in a functioning team because of poor management from the last 2 managers. Cook now walking a tight rope, so much pressure on this summer and realistically playing such a high stakes game Hopefully he can get it right, because I can't stomach much more time at this level - especially if there isn't even some home grown players to get behind! |  |

Downes, Dozzell and Wolfenden all have a far higher ceiling than lower-end Championship let alone where we are now. Are we really not willing to let them reach that ceiling because of a clamour for change. |
"clamour for change" suggests that Cook is responding to the fans' demands. I don't get that impression. I see a man convinced he can do it because he's done it before, and owners that would not spare him if promotion didn't arrive next season. [Post edited 13 May 2021 12:13]

The 29-year-old did exist and play for us prior to Cook arriving. DVDs are available, I imagine. |  |

If we're really going to move forward in a positive manner, we need all the options open to us possible to make informed, calculated decisions. In my view, it's better to listen to an offer thank not have an offer at all in case it opens up a different, better avenue - as long as its handled with integrity. However, how the players feel about this is another question. |  |

yes, cook will have seen these videos of his performances for ipswich and shrewsbury (working under different managers and given different instructions) and thought that he maybe able to get something from him. if he then doesn't respond to his training, then he'll get rid |  |

So much of this is down to Hurst's disaster of a window.... on 10:34 - May 13 by BloomBlue | Because when he has played for the last 2 seasons he hasn't done anything to dominate a game, which apparently is the same reason why Cook is correct in letting the likes of Doz, Bishop etc leave |
"for the last 2 seasons he hasn't done anything to dominate a game, which apparently is the same reason why Cook is correct in letting the likes of Doz, Bishop etc leave" Where has this been said, that this is why Cook is letting them leave? |  |

Amazing that Cook rates those out of the bunch. He's Hurst MK2. Awful. Just awful. |  |

Where have I said 'he needs to get out of this club'. I'm fully aware of what I've said on Twitter, and probably would row back a little bit from my initial tweets but I certainly haven't said that in those strong terms. That melt there doesn't understand that I'm quite happy to see poor players in their late 20s go but would rather keep good young players with higher ceilings. |  |

I'll ask him where ever I want thanks He's replied many times saying he's not a PC outer, etc, yet clearly he'd happily have PC out of the club. so for me it counters his argument as a balanced opposite view on here. |  |

I am enjoying being on this Forum less and less since you took it over so not only am I now thinking of giving up on ITFC USA I am now thinking of packing TWTD in as well. |  | |  |
So much of this is down to Hurst's disaster of a window.... on 16:43 - May 13 with 853 views | ElephantintheRoom | Is it? The gobby manager seems to be keeping most of Hurst's fab signings. Whether this is because they have a book value in the takeover I dont know - but Cook might be building his team around Nolan, Jackson, Toto, Donacien and Edwards... given he is the second manager to inherit them that suggests Cook sees something in them. |  |

"cook might be building his team around them", but he almost certainly isn't. calm down, calm down |  |

Cos the others Cook wants shot of are miles better |  | |  |

But he's worked with then, he's not had chance to work with Nolan, so makes sense if he wants time to see what he is working with. |  |
