Paul Cook might be surprised if he went to his beloved Liverpool. 14:06 - Jan 6 with 696 views | OriginalMarkyP | I would think they have their fair share of specialist fitness coaches and performance directors. It's a bad look all this blaming everyone else. I wouldn't want to employ a guy who does that. |  |

Paul Cook might be surprised if he went to his beloved Liverpool. on 18:54 - Jan 6 with 612 views | Keaneish | I think it’s more the fact he wanted complete control as manager and doesn’t appear to have been granted it. If someone is employed based on their previous success and you want them to emulate that, restricting their process or ways of working seems illogical. The more we learn the more things point to systems being put in place early for a type of manager in the mould of a McKenna, not a Paul Cook. |  |

It does appear Marcus Evans appointed Cook rather than the new owners which seems surprising but there you go I've no doubt Cook will go somewhere else and do well, good luck to him, he seems like a nice enough guy We do have a habit of finishing managers off though Keane and Jewell haven't managed since, it will be interesting to see if Lambert manages again Paul Hurst seems to have dropped back to his level |  |

I think your post neatly summarises it. I’d be interested to hear MA/MOs take on how we wound up in this situation and their views on PCs comments. For me, Cook’s ‘nothing to do with me, it was them’ approach looks like he’s giving his CV a little polish. I don’t blame him for that but all the coffee cups in the world doesn’t change the fact that he made a right mess of it here. Cook is an enthusiastic and from his achievements skilled manager. It didn’t work out but I wish him well and hope he now gets on with finding his next job and shuts up about his time here now. |  | |  |
