For those not sure of him or what BC fans thin of him. I came across the below.
Certainly interesting. Lots of things weve had as issues here. But also things that the new owners would be very keen on... I.E profit on players.
Would be interesting regarding recruitment.. cook has hated not being involved on recruitment. But recently said hed sit on the fence on this...

It has to be said tho. Everyone needs a scapegoat.. so is he as bad as they make out? If he was. Would he still be in the job this long... |  |

One thing worth thinking about, would Paul Cook have come here if he didn’t trust the new board and owners? Especially after what happened at Wigan and it’s also reported he was very hesitant in taking jobs at clubs like Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff. |  | | |

Nothing formal has been said. Just rumour mill really but nothing recent. | |

I don't think he knew anything about the new owners or expected them to come in. He was Marcus's appointment. |  | | |

He must have known it was a possibility surely?
The other day when he was talking about the exciting Summer ahead would indicate a certain knowledge I would have thought. |  | | |

Assume so. Think it's a bigger job than he anticipated and presumably he'll welcome the new injection of cash. | | | |

Maybe they will get a different Manager in, that often happens with new owners. I had assumed with them buying the club they had some input on Cook's appointment, maybe not.
Probably go for a big name manager someone like Roy Keane |  | | |

This job being bigger than anticipated is that because the job was missold. Surely he had plenty of time to watch us and could see our issues. Plus just ask any one o this forum and he could have got a run down of the clubs problems | |

I asked on here before but it seemed odd that Brizzle only gave Pearson a short deal which seemed strange for an established championship manager. Maybe he knows their CEO is heading this way. | | | |

Just goes to show how people view people at their own club. People on here crying out for LON to leave, but to be replaced by someone who clearly isn't rated at BC. | |

Thanks Phil, albeit slightly concerning. Apologies for assuming he was aware, it was reported in the Athletic piece that Cook was part of the new guys’ plans. | | | |

He was, but incorrectly I think. I assume someone was aware Cook was close to getting the job and assumed he was the new owners' selection. | | | |

Worth pointing out that LON isn't the CEO here, he's only meant to be covering the football side of things, hence general manager of football operations, but had to cover other stuff as well, so won't be a like-for-like replacement as such. I'm guessing that Lee's role will change, however, if he remains here. | | | |

Fair enough. What do you think Cook has been alluding to with regards to his "fans should be excited with what's going on in the background" and "exciting summer" comments? |  |

His plans with Marcus as far as I can tell. I genuinely don't think he was in the loop regarding the progress of the takeover. | | | |

He's very close to Mike O'Leary, worked together at West Brom and Oxford, so it's not an unlikely suggestion. | | | |

His name has been mentioned to me a few times this morning, so I don't think it would be a surprise if his Bristol City departure was announced and his appointment here followed.
