Cook non disclosure agreement? 10:17 - Dec 20 with 2070 viewsRIPbobby

I don't think I have heard a word from him since we parted ways. I get the feeling they made him sign a non disclosure agreement and paid up a lot of his contract. Anybody in the know at all?

Possibly. Might just be embarrassed or taking some time to reflect etc.

He's being kept prisoner in a dungeon on Ashton's secret island base in the Bristol Channel, silly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the EADT would like an interview.

All managers have X months NDA in their post contract settlements. That’s why you never see them spilling the beans on talksport a week after being fired.

Why does it matter? Like really? Why should any of us care in all reality? He wasn't it, he had a crack it, he failed, the club moved on, as should the fans, Cook will say something when he's ready I imagine, but I also don't ever recall him coming out and saying anything when he left Pompey or Wigan

If there are things not right behind the scenes (i.e. if Ashton has been hindering the manager in any way) then we really should care!

And you often don't as well. Unless there's any evidence he has been bound and gagged, I don't see the point of speculating. There will have been some sort of settlement too - there always is.

I think we'd all love to know if there were some reasons behind the scenes as to why Cook didn't do better. But naturally Town won't want any of this to come out in the near term & Cook, assuming he wants another job in football, knows that you don't spill the beans & almost certainly signed a non disclosure agreement.

Yep it'd be a standard contractual term. He'll come out in due course and say something along the lines of wishing he'd got more time, there was a takeover and maybe he wasn't the direction the club wanted etc. He'll praise the fans and then move on saying it's football, there's a sacking or two every week etc.

Good luck to him. Didn't work out here, and I was surprised at some of the basics he didn't get right, but he'd have developed and will probably be a better manager for it.

Cook's now 54 & an experienced manager with some decent success on his CV (excepting his time at Town, of course). I think lack of tactical flexibility was his biggest mistake & that was one thing that fans of other clubs where he had success disliked. Doubt he's going to change much now & sure he'll get another job in League 1 or League 2 if he wants one.

Perhaps there simply isn't anything to say on that front, or Cook doesn't want to come across as bitter (given he likely wants to find another job).

Why does anything have to be 'not right behind the scenes'? WHy are we already to try blame MA and the new owners for Cook failing? Can't we just accept Cook was sh*te?

Indeed. I was merely responding to Mediocre who asked, "Why does it matter? Why should any of us care?" I was just giving a reason why we might.

I'm not suggesting there is 'anything not right behind the scenes' and haven't blamed MA for anything. I'm just giving a reason why we might be interested. You asked why we should care. Whether there is something or there isn't, Ipswich fans should absolutely care.

Kind of insinuates that you think there is something wrong with MA and behind the scenes...
