‘He should have had a crack at it last season and didn’t’. What, you mean he should have played??? Bit old, isn’t he? He tried the arm round the shoulder, swapping players etc, defended the players before publicly (wrongly in my view) hammering them. They wanted him out.
The performances at Northampton and Wimbledon like so many that season were a disgrace and an insult to every supporter. They didn’t fancy it. They hid, blamed everyone else bar themselves. They rotated the post match interviews, but each time came out with the same rubbish - and they knew it but didn’t care. They figuratively laughed at us. The performance at Gillingham 4 days after his appointment? Pathetic. Gillingham busted in, we caved in. Was that down to Cook?
Nobody is saying Cook should get the three years of old to build a team. However, it is not unreasonable to give him until the end of October before giving any sort of rational view. In my view, he has started the season with a disappointing draw that had one or two encouraging signs. There is a long way to go. That’s all there is to it.
But you and many others are not interested in that. You want him gone and have done since he arrived. Why? Because he’s scouse with a funny voice or because he was slagged off by our former captain to a stranger in a toilet because he was being moved on?
I suspect there are some on here that would prefer the club to fail than succeed just to get him out of the door. The views of those who’ve been at the club or know how Cook operate are completely lost on the ‘outers’. The chaos of a manager change is what they want before they can start on the next one.
Perhaps when Cook is booted out we will get somebody like Megson. Then we can all join the party and have him gone by Christmas. No free hits remember |
You've just had an aneurysm over nothing. People have lost their heads. |  |

This weird crowing and triumphalism about negativity that really isn't there, or that pronounced is odd. We haven't had a good go under Cook, we've taken big risks and we're in the third tier for yet another season.
It's all far too early to get so defensive about it all. But if people want to be objective about it, things haven't gone well yet and that's probably the crux of all this revisionism and overbearing witchhunt type stuff on here.
You can bet Cook isn't as happy as a chunk of our fans seem to be, which is the biggest hint that the truth might be different to the rhetoric. |
Indeed.
It's only Nerders and Fishers, and even Fishers isn't really being negative just a tvat. Both are a credit to the board though, imo.
Unbelievable the main topic is moaning about moaning about moaning about if it's too late/early to be negative and what even is that.
Plus ca change innit. |  |

I'd heard on the grapevine this was a place of harmony and unity since Spruce left as well. | |

Sprucers never got the polemical role quite right, too overactive. Fishers has it well balanced by stepping away every so often.
Can't believe the topic is discussing posters.
My bad :) | |

This is such a nonsense point though.
"You should never criticise what you see with your own eyes because in very, very rare circumstances it gets better and then everything goes well."
It's like saying you shouldn't stop an irate looking man in a balaclava running into a shop with a large knife, just in case he's gone in to help someone cut a birthday cake. |  | | |

Deary me, are we really at this point after one game?

Regardless of anything else, Cook most certainly did not inherit a team "on the up". |
I do take your point and it is a bit hyperbolic of me but Gill had turned things around and got us some results. Weren’t we 8th..? We were pretty well set as I recall. |  |

Funnily enough the football squabbles are still the same football squabbles as he rarely posted on them
We do seem to have far less threads with the same tedious political arguments being run every single f**king day now though |  |

We have one point from one game, so not entirely pointless.... |  |

You're being a bit hyperbolic here too. It was 3 games of slightly improved results. Hardly turning things around. |  |

I think in large part because Covid has calmed down and people aren’t robotically shouting Neil Ferguson’s ridiculous predictions at one another | |

It'll calm down one way or another, I suppose. We'll start winning and there'll be nothing to moan about or we'll start losing and everyone will be moaning! |  |

Burley inherited a basket case getting humped in the Prem every week. Lyall inherited a broke club who had stagnated for two seasons. Cook inherited one if the wealthiest teams in the league with a huge squad which was on the up and had a decent shout of the play offs and completely ballsed it up. Also I truly detest arguments like this, like the situations are even vaguely comparable.
I hope Cook turns it around and we start Mission Premiership with a bang against Burton. |
I agree with the sentiment, but I completely disagree we were on the up and up. |  | | |
