Where has that come from?!
The list of potential new managers is VERY unispiring!!
I'd like to see us go overseas for a foreign appointment. |  |

Was he the guy that used to play for QPR and changed his hair color every week? |  |

The sacking of Cook could still come back to haunt us . 16 weeks to get your new squad up and running is sod all time IMO. But there you go , it’s done now . Sit back and repent at leisure as they say. |  |

I suspect it's because he worked at Arizona United for a bit and two and two is being put together. |  | | |

Phil, what's your take in this current situation? shocked? not surprised? expected more time? | |

44 games to show improvement and failed. Sorry, but we can't rewrite history. Cook took over when we were 7th and a couple of points shy. We're now 11th with what is generally believed to be a much more impressive squad (although I question that notion). That is the brutal truth.
If Cook needed more time, he should have been able to show a gradual improvement in the club's fortunes - the truth is, he didn't. If player errors cost him, then he and Ashton did a poor job recruiting. Either way, something failed under Cook's watch and it was clear as daylight to see. |  |

Is it sod all time, tho? A preseason plus 28 League and cup matches, the odd international break, a few midweeks without games. That's a decent amount of room for organisation, especially when you consider the players should have been hired with a view to fitting them into a working team structure, plus he had already worked with several (indeed, Morsy and Evans had been a partnership before).
He ought to have been able to get a better tune out of the squad on a more consistent basis in what was pretty much half a season. |  |

If Norwood is off limits because he's got Drink Driving convictions and can be a tool on social media, you can't really appoint a head coach who has got an aggravated battery with a deadly weapon arrest on their rap sheet. |  |

Plenty of other sides have taken considerably less time to gel a side that's essentially a whole new squad.
Wigan, for example. |  |

Anyone hear him on talksport last week? Sounds like he did a fantastic job but was sacked for not towing the club line (and not playing the owners son!). |  | | |
