Please stop mentioning alluding to or crediting directly or indirectly Paul Cook, in any way whatsoever.
Thanks! |  |

He got Macaulay Bonne enjoying his football and scoring for fun...
Then Cook's Dad died, and things unraveled for him.
He is our least worst Paul. |
agreed, but our least worst paul is definitely cooper! |  |

Worse win percentage than Lambert, despite being in League One for all of his tenure.
Insofar as he is said to have been good in the transfer market:
(a) he must have been one hell of a dud coach given the above-mentioned win percentage stat in league one; and
(b) he very soon had a new ownership group who most on here consider to be night and day compared with Evans.
Cook was certainly a likeable enough guy. But for all of Lambert's dourness, even he had a better record with Town. |  | | |

Agreed. It's tragic. |
Remember that time he got a mate of his who was a baker to do the coaching? | |

By far the best of the Pauls. I don’t understand the disdain people have for him. He signed some excellent players, but wasn’t up to the task here. Loads of players (including well-known good characters such as Chappers and Evans) liked him a lot.
Save your hatred for the nasty thug that is Keane, the arrogant bully Lambert or the terrible second in command Doig.
Cookie’s a good egg, but we were right to get rid of him. [Post edited 3 Sep 17:53]

Morsy wouldn't have come to us if it wasn't for Cook.
And we wouldn't have got out of League One in 2023 without Morsy. |
Paul Hurst signed Kayden Jackson and Janoi Donacien.
We wouldn''t have gotten out of League One without Kayden Jackson and Janoi Damicien.
Is this how this works? |  |

He was a bullsh1t merchant more interested in getting pissed with his mates. He spent massive money here and failed dismally but was greeted with “aww he’s a cheeky bloke, just like one of us” he was just a different kind of tw@t to those lot and no better in anyway.
“He signed good players” never accounts for the crap he signed and couldn’t get a tune out of. Being “the best of the Pauls” is the management equivalent of the best of right said Fred. |  |

the amount of people willing to make excuses is baffling. Up there with all the Keane apologists. | |

Haven't most said he was sht at managing town but in the transfer market he did rather well. That's hardly over playing it.
Paul Hurst and paul lambert got us relegated. So there is truth in PC not being the worst paul but he was still sht tho. |  |

Paul Cook is a Town hero in our history whereas the likes of Paul Hurst and Roy Keane destroyed the club in a number of ways. PH was clueless and RK couldn't manage the team. | | | |

He was the only one who managed to fail twice in less than a year. That's impressive commitment to being sh1t. |  |

I mean, he's worse than Jewell, FFS. That's not a great yardstick. | |

I don’t think anyone is doing that, or saying he managed well.
Your hatred of him is very unusual though, considering he did no long term damage to the club.
And in no way, shape or form was he worse than Jewell. You must not have gone to a lot of games under PJ. It was complete and utter abject crap. [Post edited 3 Sep 19:46]

That's because Gamechanger got rid the moment they could. I don't think any of the praise he gets is warranted or stands up to scrutiny. | |

Not being funny but if someone called Mick McCarthy a tw*t you’d be screaming at them for using names. And rightly so.
Paul Cook might not be a good manager (for us anyway) but to be calling him a tw*t is completely unnecessary. Never came across as anything but a good bloke. [Post edited 3 Sep 20:33]

Indeed, feel a couple of posters have been particularly harsh on PC. From what I gather, when it wasn't working he doubled down work-wise. It certainly wasn't a lack of effort that led to things not working out. It was obviously the right decision for him to move on, he was a square peg in a round hole following the takeover, not what the new owners wanted at all, even if they gave him a chance given his track record, but it clearly wasn't working. But he was the manager responsible for bringing in a lot of the players who brought the success over the next few years, and think he deserves a bit of respect for that. |  | | |

I wouldn’t be screaming because not everyone is hysterical about everything, but to compare McCarthy to any of that lot is insulting to say the least. Especially hypocritical given your previous toward me too.
Just because he “came across” one way for the camera doesn’t make it so. He’s as bad as any of those his listed there and putting on an act (much like Keane) doesn’t alter that. I think Steve put it perfectly. | |

My previous towards you? The irony.
Anyway.. I fail to see any particular thing that makes him on the same level as those mentioned. Managerial wise he might be not what we needed and was sacked which was absolutely fair enough. I don’t understand the personal stuff at all though. Never once to me came across as a bad egg. In fact comparing him to d**k heads like Hirst, Keane and Lambert is mad in my view.
I wish him well. You, evidentl, do not. | |

That isn’t what irony is.
You trying to gloss over being a hypocrite in this instance and appear on the right side of consensus has very little to do with me. If you’re going to put words in mouth to begin with you’re already wrong. | |
