For him, that's one of the reasons they come to play for him again, they think highly of him, maybe all those moaning and worrying about our poor start should take that on board before having a pop and PC again, after all the some of the fantastic players signing for us this transfer window are in a far better position to judge him!! |  | | |  |

Just like Roy, Mick, Hurst etc
We've hardly been Forrest Gump when running to adversity have we? We've been opening the door for it time and again and not won a single game.
All this lashing out by people happy to avoid putting either foot in the present is very odd. It'd be great if Cook repeats his prior success, but he's been sh1te here thus far. Until that changes simply pretending it's all ok, will be all ok and you've known this all along is Russian ballerina level stretches.
The season started 5 games ago, it finishes in May. Unless he gets us up he's off. Anyone that wants him to fail is simply a figment of your imagination to make life simpler it seems. |  |

Carlos Edwards and Grant Leadbitter came here to play for Roy Keane again.
I’m quite happy to give Cook more time but let’s not pretend that three points from 15 is anything to be pleased with. |  |

…the same, sour people finding a way to pour cold water on an enjoyable transfer window, one of which we’ve not had for an exceptionally long time. The OP was posting a point about Cook’s ability to lure a vast array of talent from the Premier League, The SPFL, Ligue One, The Championship and the cream of the crop from League 1 and 2. The sheer volume of which surpasses any manager we’ve ever had yet you still twist the narrative to find a negative.
We can talk performances and results post Bolton, no doubt with some levels of negative spin. |  |

'...maybe all those moaning and worrying about our poor start should take that on board before having a pop and PC again.'
Again, no one is calling for Cook to leave - no one is pouring cold water on what's been a decent set of signings.
What many fans have pointed out is that, so far, as good on paper as it is - it's not transferred into results.
The cold hard facts are Cooks 'results' regardless of who he's had available to him are shockingly poor. However we look at things, this is what he's judged on. |  |

Indeed, and is not like we don’t have recent history - 2009 & 2018 - of getting very excited by incoming transfers only to flip very badly afterwards.
That shouldn’t happen this time but I want to see results before getting too excited about it all. [Post edited 1 Sep 2021 7:02]

Cook is not trying to turnaround a Mini Cooper, Ipswich is more like trying to turn around that giant container ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal. It’s a bigger & much much slower job requiring much more patience & a lot more know how. O’Leary & Ashton have supplied their man with the best tools & equipment, now it’s case of waiting & watching as it slowly starts to change course & eventually comes around. |  | | |

It completely misses the point. The post is about PC’s pulling power to land intelligent, exciting transfers to bring people back to Portman Road and to give us the potential to get out of this division. No previous managers could have done this either as they didn’t have the credentials, the budget or staff with the right acumen. Now we have it, it’s kind of ridiculous that some can’t enjoy the moment.
The results will come, yet it’s the same minority contingent on here bringing it down, as ever. | |

And all the incoming players must be aware that Cook no longer has Richardson as his assistant. |  |

Fair point although I doubt it’ll prevent the lazy speculation despite Cook winning half his trophies prior to teaming up with Richardson. | |

Oh Mugget I'd love to have your crystal ball by my side for a little while, not to mention you chemistry with optimism its outstanding trait to have, you know for a fact that he's off if we don't make it do you??
Even if what you suppose may happen at the end of the season whom ever takes over will have one hell of a squad to work with so its still good, I just don't see how people cannot understand we are building for the future, if it doesn't happen this season maybe next, that's the frustrating beauty of football, I don't recall the owners, manager or any backroom staff saying "All will be fantastic and we are going up this season" just said "We want to get promotion as quick as we can!!"
You have some how read my mind (that crystal ball again I reckon) and seem to have decided that I am quite happy with the fact that we have not won a game yet this season and am ignorant of our position in the table, you and your arrogant assumptions are wrong, what I am at this point in time is not worried about it at all, I'm confident we will come good and before your brain starts twisting my words no I don't mean we are gonna fly up the league and win automatic promotion, I just mean the wins will come and the team will get better confidence and be the stronger for it, I'm patient enough to wait for them for the time being!!
"Anyone that wants him to fail is simply a figment of your imagination to make life simpler it seems. "
Now would you be so kind to point out where you imagined that I said that I accused anyone of wanting him to fail, to save you time from your clear agenda and going through all my posts I never have and I never will!!
"All this lashing out by people happy to avoid putting either foot in the present is very odd."
You really are absurd aren't you!! Your accusation that " happy people avoid putting their feet in the present" The only thing odd there is your train of thought and in this whole attempt at disguised belittlement you start off by throwing the past up with Roy, Mick and Hurst!! | | | |

I never said or implied that people are calling for Cooks head nor did I say anyone was being negative about the signings we have made this window!! | | | |

Not sure that analogy really makes sense.
Cook had a tug boat that was pointing in the wrong direction.
He has been given a motorised yacht, and told to get to the next port.
There is nothing to turn around. He just needs to get the motor started. |  | | |
