Seems an odd choice. I'd have thought Luke Williams at Notts County would have been on their list although there were noises about Swansea sniffing around Meadow Lane. |  |

Would be quite funny in the sense that they were saying on PASOTI that they didn't want anymore Scousers in light of the last two managerial departures. |  |

No chance I would have thought
Hallett believes the value is in young coaches who can work with a data driven recruitment team
So far we have traded two promotion winning coaches for a profit of just over a million. Less whatever we have to pay for who we do appoint.
I quite like Cook as a person but he is about as far from the picture of who we might appoint as y oh can imagine.
Same reason that Moany Tony is not a likely candidate despite having a fair few admirers.
There will be a list of potential candidates. It’s a much better gig now and whoever we do appoint will be allowed to make mistakes.
Timing is crap but that’s the January window for you. I understand the motivation for the move and I think given this was the third time already this season he had been interested in the other club approach or possibility after swans and Bristol I suspect the bird decided to milk the compo and get on with something that was going to happen anyway.
Saw a post you might be in for stansfield on the Birmingham site. Smart if true He’d be a good fit for you. | | | |

I hope so for your sake!
I am somewhat surprised you haven't been doing better so far this season. Of course, I didn't expect us to do as well as we are, but you were able to stay ahead of us last season and off the back of a very good previous one too. I expected you to be closer to a play-off spot than a relegation one. I hope the next manager gets you closer to the play-offs. |  |

Can't see Cook being a good fit with you. He was (IMO) far too rigid here in formation and tactics which just weren't working very well. He's not a bad manager and seems like a decent bloke, might work out at Plymouth. But I have my doubts. |  |

Definitely something in the interest, from what I'm reliably informed, but think it's unlikely he'd go. |  | | |

Not sure what makes him a good manager.
But surely he goes down as our worst ever? | | | |

Paul Lambert is out on his own as the worst-ever Town manager and don’t forget that some of Cook’s signings are still doing the business here. | | | |

Skybet have Leighton Baines as favourite… he’s from Kirkby which is about as close to Liverpool as you can be without actually being Liverpool. |  | | |

Currently some noise over the manager of tromso!!!
Yep. Me neither !
But much more in the mould of our chairman’s ideas. | | | |

Hmm. I'm more inclined to give Roy Keane that accolade, considering the long-term effects of the damage he did - including wasting the best of Marcus Evans' money pot.
Paul Hurst another close contender, took us from "declining gently" to "relegation bound".
Compared with those, Cook struggled in an already poor situation, was too rigid and failed. But at least some of his recruitment was pretty decent. Plus his prior record wasn't bad either (however much might have been down to Leam Richardson). | |

This has been done before - but Cook isn't even close to being in our worst three managers. Keane, Hurst, Lambert and McGiven are all worse for different reasons.
Cook very similar to Jewell - a likeable scouse who delivered garbage on the field - but at least Cook did it with some very astute signings who are now performing like rock stars - whereas Jewell did it with a combination of lousy signings and overpaid loanees.
But - back to Plymouth - I genuinely don't think Cook is a good fit for them and would fear for them if he did go there. Despite the animosity that many of their fans developed for us last year I have a genuine respect for what they achieved last year and would far rather see them thrive in the Championship than some of the other teams in the bottom 10.
I also really like Schumacher and would hate to see him chewed up and spat out like so many other Stoke managers. | | | |

Glad to see the brains of the board agrees with me! When anyone disagrees in future I'll just lay down "Guthers agrees with me" like it's a royal flush! |  |

and don't forget the signings:- chaplin, walton, morsy etc are a much better legacy than some managers left us with.
far from the best, but way off the worst as well! | |

Isn’t Devon all about tea and scones and not tea in a styrofoam cup?
Bet Cook’s a jam before clotted cream guy too.
He’ll never fit in. |  |

Cook was worst for me. Utterly useless with a ridiculous squad compared to our competitors. All the others did it in the Championship too. |  |

I'll say the same thing I said to my with when Tromso was on Race Across The World... The only thing I know about Tromso is that back in the day Morten Gamst Pedersen was an absolute steal from their youth team on Championship Manager. | | | |

everyone since burley failed in the championship.
i'd argue that failing in the championship without a legacy is worse. it' also telling that he's the only one of our ex-managers still in a job! | |

I can't really see Cook ordering a cream tea, but if there was one left over on an adjacent table I wouldn't put it past him to dip a chip in the jam or cream just to see what the effect was... |  |

They all had similar win percentages, but Cook did it against lesser sides. | |

That's not what I asked though. You said the others "did it in the Championship". Hurst turned us from a Champ team into a League 1 team almost overnight, and got 1 win in his tenure (a spawny win as well). Lambert came into that mess, already well adrift at the bottom.
Part of Cook's poor return was before he bombed out that carp, and he left us with some decent players. The other two didn't.
But Roy Keane is the worst because he had the most of Evans' money, spunked it up the wall, and we were in a trajectory towards League 1 (after arrogantly saying top 6 was easy). Keane started the rot. | |
