You know sometimes you get a new manager who may have had a rough run at his previous club but then gets given a fresh start with a new club. The new club supporters back him and trust him and wait a while to see what happens.
Shouldn't that be the case with PC?
New season. New squad not just a handful of signings. New backroom team. New board room. Basically everything is new.
So why does his previous few months come into the mindset of some?.
It's not like hes carrying on with the old regime like Lambert did for a few years etc.
We are basically a new club in league 1 with a new manager with a new squad.

Cook was our manager for a not insignificant part of last season. He did not get very good results. Everyone will make allowances for the facts that (a) the players were not his signings, (b) Evans was clearly looking for the exit, (c) he had no opportunity to show his chops in the transfer market, (d) the fans were not present, and (e) the fans were largely cheesed off.
How much weight to give those facts is entirely up to different punters. But what you can't do is pretend that he wasn't at Town last year, being paid to manage our club and coach our first team. Hopefully when we assess Cook's tenure when he leaves, he will become England manager a la Bobby Robson, and last season will be less than a footnote to a footnote. But right now it forms the majority of his games as Town boss.
He is very lucky that he has been allowed to clear the decks and sign a dozen new signings. I have a certain amount of confidence that he will make the most of that luck. Let's hope so. But it's fair enough to judge him on all of his record. For me, that includes the decision to let our player of the season go. If we score more than we concede, great. But at present, our defence is not better than he inherited. Hopefully it will be, come September. |  | | |

Cook should definitely have done better last season. As much credit as he has in the bank, it’s a fact that we underachieved.
I have high hopes for this season and Cook has my full support. |  |
