| Cook should never have been sacked 21:57 - Dec 15 with 2212 views | Chocorange |
1. The players came here for him , they signed for him and the respect they had for him as a manager
2. Promotions and play offs achieved , when given time!
3. His teams improve the longer he is there.
4. One transfer window , he knew where the problems were , and would have sorted it in jan.
5. Too many keyboard warriors / armchair fans who don’t go to games demanding him to go .
6. Since when have we beat two top teams away from home and scored 4 goals each time in a few weeks of each other ?
7. People say we didn’t beat West Ham and Arsenal kids, and Oldham and Newport and Barrow. ( how many of the first team played in those games ?? ) where were the cups on the priority list?
8. We had only lost recently in the league to Sunderland ( despite outplaying them) , Plymouth( could have won) I was at both those games , as were many others supporting Cook… and both were top 6 sides at very least when we played them … and Rotherham ..by far the beat team in the league .
9. No time , some people think this is McDonald’s and u can get results instantly
10. No management replacement lined up ..that’s down to Ashton.
Well you got what u wished for and caused …happy?
No,
Somehow it’s still Cooks fault despite performances against Charlton and Barrow and Wigan ( saved by Norwoods strike) being devoid of any sort of quality and being the worst of the season.
Absolute joke , you fans who wanted Cook out.
This is on YOU…..and Ashton!

Give over ya wetty - Cook failed by every single measurable metric considering the resources given to him - just because we’re still horrific after he’s been sacked doesn’t mean sacking him was the wrong decision. |  | | |

Nonsense.
He overhauled the squad, and personally recruited a team of inept coaches with no experience of coaching first team football to train them.
He fully deserved the sack for that ineptitude.
We are reaping what he sowed. |  |

Agree but TWTD doesn't really work like that.
People on here still talk about bringing back managers who haven't been in the game for 10 years. |  |

If the players only signed for Cook and not the football club then they should never have come in the first place. This isn’t Paul Cook FC. |  | | |

Completely agree. Read a great piece recently about Warburton at QPR. He was close to sack and covid shutdown effectively saved him. Now look.
Cook had pedigree. There was some excellent football. To sack him without giving him one full season just bizarre. Ashton seems egotistical to me. |  | | |

Nah, Cook had 44 games and was sh1t.
He signed 19 players and then “knew where the problems were”? |  |

No, it's a load of old sh!te. Cook put this squad together, he failed to ever really get them playing as a team, in recent weeks he had them actually playing worse and going backwards. He failed badly last season too. It was absolutely right that he got the sack and it was down to the board too, not to some fans criticising him on a messageboard. | |

Covid saved Lambert look how that ended for us. Cook had no ideas he was just the mouthpiece for Richardson. Evans mugged us off and the Yanks were too nice not to sack him after they took over. | | | |

How can they be facts when he got sacked, and will never find out.. facts are he was sh1te, he brought in more sh1te, and now he’s gone, now they are facts. | | | |

He had pedigree when he worked with Liam Richardson.
Not since. |  |

Should we have spent two seasons mid table in League One waiting to see if Cook could mange to get the team working? |  |

1. The players came here for him , they signed for him and the respect they had for him as a manager
I don't believe this for a minute, they were achieving at their previous clubs under a different manager. Players are mostly selfish, want to perform for their own career, that won't have changed now.
2. Promotions and play offs achieved , when given time!
How long? Two seasons? Three?
3. His teams improve the longer he is there.
As above, do we want to wait three or four years for a promotion push?
4. One transfer window , he knew where the problems were , and would have sorted it in jan.
Like he did in the summer?
5. Too many keyboard warriors / armchair fans who don’t go to games demanding him to go .
I'll have to take your word on this
6. Since when have we beat two top teams away from home and scored 4 goals each time in a few weeks of each other ?
Not sure the relevance, but go on tell me.
7. People say we didn’t beat West Ham and Arsenal kids, and Oldham and Newport and Barrow. ( how many of the first team played in those games ?? ) where were the cups on the priority list?
The FA Cup was apparently quite high, according to PC
8. We had only lost recently in the league to Sunderland ( despite outplaying them) , Plymouth( could have won) I was at both those games , as were many others supporting Cook… and both were top 6 sides at very least when we played them … and Rotherham ..by far the beat team in the league .
Again, not sure what point you're making? We shouldn't be beating top six sides anyway?
9. No time , some people think this is McDonald’s and u can get results instantly
How long? This is division 3 and we are spending enormous amounts on wages comparative to most other sides.
10. No management replacement lined up ..that’s down to Ashton.
I don't disagree here completely, but in his defence if you back somebody to the extent Cook was you're probably not expecting such a spectacular failing. If this was another club (Derby for exmple in recent times) we'd be laughing hysterically at them.
Well you got what u wished for and caused …happy?
No, not really, but hopefully that will change now. Hopefully we can see some upward momentum at long last.
No,
Somehow it’s still Cooks fault despite performances against Charlton and Barrow and Wigan ( saved by Norwoods strike) being devoid of any sort of quality and being the worst of the season.
I wouldn't go so far to say it's still his fault, but to be fair he did assemble the entire squad.
Absolute joke , you fans who wanted Cook out.
This is on YOU…..and Ashton!
Yeah it's my fault, there you go. Come back and thank me when we finally get something to cheer about. [Post edited 15 Dec 2021 22:18]

1. The players showed absolutely no signs of playing for him and respecting him near the end. Post Sunderland we've been tragic
2. With our squad we should not be in a worse league position than we were under Lambert last season.
3. We were going BACKWARDS under him. Even Terry Butcher pointed out were scoring earlier in the season and now that's dried up. Our defence has not go better despite the arrival of our best players in Walton and Edmundson.
4. Of good, throw more money at the squad. That's worked so well before.
5. He had six footballing months, two thirds of a season, and 40 players after an overhaul with the same failures exposed time and time again
6. As time went the Doncaster, Portsmouth and Wycombe results were rapidly proven to be flukes rather than the norm
7. Considering the depth of the squad respectability in cup competitions should be the least to ask for
8. Were you at Crewe? Rotherham? Oxford wasn't even that great
9. OK
10. In a way I thought it was nice that we didn't have someone lined up, as Evans' approach felt classless. But we needed someone in by now
Saying all of that, I thought we should have at least given him Charlton and Wigan, seeing where we were after those two matches. Sacking him when we did felt odd. | |

Exactly right. Arguably the error with Cook was giving him too much not too little time. | | | |
