Comment | Town Closing in On McKenna
at 16:31:18
Is it April 1st already? --- Or does the owners simply just not grasp the seriousness of their moribund team & recurringly couldn't-be bothered-to-turn-up personnel situation here?
(Oh and I for one have never ever giving much if any credence, in the World of football that is, on how other CUTE ex-colleagues & bromantics quote "up-rate" or blue stamp a former bro of theirs!
Seriously though , If Gamechanger are dead set about wanna "game change" things (i.e. to the desperately needed much much **tuffer** for the abundance of super abject so called professional employers here) by going all-in on somebody with ehmm ZERO ZILCH ZIP ZIPPO NADA NIL NOUGHT NIX managerial experience ???!!! ...
Well excuse me American bravados but why not then be even braver and pick a woman?
I can see lots of truly good reasons for this ...including of course smaller things like appeasing the Political Correcties out there in these hmmm luvly renaissance Girl-Power & Mee-Too movements day & ages.
Alas personally I would luv to see JOANNA LUMLEY here....
..she could be sooo kick-a$$ tuff as Town's brand new Noooo-prior-experience manager!

Hmmm utter humiliating & didn't-bother turning-up exist in all the season's cup tournaments .... Hmmm now where have we heard & seen that before at these latitudes ??? lol
First is was Newport's juggernaut B, repeat B!, team, then Arsenal's pimple-stricken adolescents, and then except for a missed penalty could have been knocked out by severely 4th tier struggling Oldham AWESOME Athletic in the previous round of the once extremely prestige filled FA version of the cups ...only to be twice embarrassed by recently non-league Barrow AWESOME Association f.c. in the next!
Oh and don't get me started on all the league games where the paying and/or travelling fans rightly should have been reimbursed TOO!
I've said it many times during The Evans Era and I'll say it again:
What a unmatched DEJA VU -like waste of transfer fees & wages!!!!!!!!!!
Only in Town!
Alas well handpicked Pep Cookie! As apart from the very very odd piece of individual brilliance or 10 minutes spell here & there, your extremely hyped "Championship Caliber" LOT simply just isn't significantly better (read: Less lethargic & unit dysfunctional!) ....well than any of your most recent clueless predecessors and/or Pauls, and their icky ragtag squads!
No much sense in pointing fingers at the interim McGreal imho (although yes you can argue that seemingly nor him -- but who if any? -- can properly motivated these abject so called "professionals") cause i repeat this here is fundamentally Pep Cookies BROMANTiC handpicked lot!!! Aye factually with a very selective few leftovers incl. a couple of until recently widely deemed personas non gratta sprinkled on top! ....but the point being that apart from the on-loan goalie plus maybe one or two others they REST of them should all be seriously ashamed of themselves, again!
So much so that I like to envision that even the fabulous fair minded JUDGE JUDY could be pronto called in to rule, lol, and as such only really make her stopwatch-like Reality Tv courtroom verdict something very akin to this:
"Guilty! Guilty of collectively *misrepresenting* The Town Shirt!"
"60 days hard labor. ..to the lot of you ...and all signed contracts henceforth null & void!"
"Amen!" |

Hmmm sure beginning to repeatedly look like that Pep Cookie's HANDPICKED 20 isn't particular better than for example Hurst's much more lower-shelf selected 10 (or for that matter Lambo's rag-tag assembled but ever changing Trusted XI), doesn't it?????????
In short what a "discerning" lol Deja Vu like collective waste of transfer fees & wages!!!
Likely this group will probably continue to have the very very occasional FLUKE game where they bang in 3-4 , with the post-game interview giving ones of them plus the most credulous Happy Clappers think they look like Man City ...but ehmm that is probably only due to either 1) the opposing team having been out drinking all night or 2) simply didn't bother doing their homework on how EMBARRASSINGLY EASY it **usually** is to stymie any one, Walton excluded, on the field of these beyond awesome Pep Cookie's 20 Handpicked.
One thing is for sure though, if McGreal and whomever follows him continue to play this blatantly obvious dysfunctional formation and/or any other other lone attacker constellation, this particular quote "Championship Caliber" squad isn't going anywhere!. Period!
Alas, get that even BIGGER blanco chequebook ready for the new boss, Gamechanger! |

Jut heard it through the grapevine: A dripping fresh telepathic! view Inside the immaculate mind of the turned-perennial-(un)successful Paul The IV:
"HoHo I bought an unprecedented 20 new so labeled *Championship caliber* players, but oops!!! Cause nevertheless my post-Leam Richardson winning percentage just sucks like NOBODY ELSE'S! and worse nowadays I also tactically can't even manage my way out of a paper bag! HoHo"
"Aye.... that's an truly admirable achievement on both counts right there & and boy it takes some very very special talent, I know I know!"
"Hmmm.... maybe i should go into politics instead??? My excellent scouser humor alone should score some serious brownie points, especially in the north-west that's for sure!"
Pause
Pause
"What the heck this [ehmm my!!!] Town outfit isn't going anywhere anytime soon with or without me ...so .I'll do it! Politics here I come!"
Pause
Pause
"Gimme your vote good people of England! VOTE: *PEP COOKIE FOR PRIME MINISTER!*"

But since you can't say Cook without saying Gamechanger, well their bed-fellowship is pretty clear nowadays isn't it ? Since they not only decided to keep him after 1) having finalized the take over?, then 2) again after his outright terrible run to seasons end??, and 3) nowadays incoherently appear to have taking on the all too eeeeasy stance of the proverbial "Hear No (This is the toughest League 1 ever) Bullsheit, SEE No wrong" worshipper .... supposedly fine or just blind to & with all the person's, in this case Leam-Richardson-less blatantly obvious football managerial shortcomings., and thus cluelessnes. Here a further word or 2 about ...
Gamechanger
Yes the are a household name for USL soccer fans, as Rising is not only one of the top clubs but also able to maintain many of the better 2nd tier players in their ranks over there like Asante & Moar .........but ehmm for Town and its fans it has imho become an increasingly IRONIC name I ever I saw one, for an seemingly somewhat **deja** vu ENGLISH football-incompetent/football-indifferent ownership (Again one already well quoted example of this: How can an entire so called super pro and "ambitious" owner group & front office ALLOW a blatantly obvious out-of-his-league-without-Leam Richardson one trick manager to not only both COMPLETELY foook up, read: discourage & unmotivate!!!, the former inept squad as well as with that done of course subsequently foook up the reminder of last season's promotion push too! And next this season, first bragging he needed no coaches at all, then when criticized for it choosing to appoint his very best buddies, buddies with virtually no real or high coaching experience to be hired and handsomely paid, as well "coaches"???!!!). lol
Hey, but many thanks for all them blanco cheques lol. Cause indeed the entertainment value of Town is thus occasionally, repeat occasionally! in order (as opposed to under Evans when it was = very rarely). However knowing this "type" of American investors as I happen to do to some degree, I'm pretty sure there is a cold expiring date to them blancos being no-question-asked handed out to Cookie or anybody else for that matter, especially if we linger just one or more years in this beyond awesome 3rd tier Gold Mine.
Yes they and the current md mouthpiece keep telling the fanbase it's a long term thing also results & expectation wise ...which again MIGHT initially be the truth, sort of like it's ex post facto true that Evans initially gambled some sizable pesos of his on a honeypot promotion within a year or two ...but here's a doh! like News Flash for you: Rosy PR Talk is dirt cheap, GRINGOS! Clegg-, Milne-, O'Neill- & Lambert- traumatized Town fans in particular should haplessly know by now. |

Relax you ever credulous lot, PLEASE! It's the juggernaut Alexander next ...just in time to save our LATEST clueless manager's job ...by way of any kind of a on-a-cheap-background victory giving him another couple of imho totally indefensible meters on his already way too long leash!
I see no need to directly echo what other sound skeptics has rightly written, tonight and throughout the entirety of "Captain Cooks Perilous Journey II", so I'll will just repeat what I've said many many times during the tenure of the other clueless (or anti-football!) managers during the Evans Era, namely that it's visibly & factually true, in all but the extremely odd game, that:
"When Town do win, we do so not BECAUSE of the manger but inherently IN SPITE OF him!!!"
And all you die hard Paul The IIII luvers and other all-round happy clappers this is most certainly also the fact & case with Pep Cook and his near 20 handpicked new signings! And when really scrutinized probably even more so than any of his equally so full of themselves in one way or another (Delusion of Grandeur suffering in some cases) predecessors!
Besides obviously not spilling too many of our real golden chances it basically takes quite some "celestial happening" lol to a get a 3 pointer under Pep Cookie... say like ehhhh a serious collective off-day by the opposition ...or them being so severely banged up and/or overly managerially poorly set up themselves on the day that nothing can reasonably be expected to work their way as a unit defensively & offensively ...or last but not least they opposition simply being so incredible DUMB as to skip doing their homework on Pep Cookies Town! I.E. not bothering watching tapes, sending scouts etc. so that they simply fail to learn how otherwise EMBARRINGSINLY EASY it is to "find out" how to currently all-out counter the Leam-Richardson-less Pep Cook, incl. counter his mindboggling 1-dimensional 1-plan tactics non-optimal team selection & even substitutions , when playing this this sad sad for all post Royle eternity??? mismanaged club! |

In other words you lot are looking forward to getting OUR, the fans, pesos!
Well you aren't getting mine anytime soon!
Which quality player, in his RIGHT frame of mind, would wanna come here ....aye even knowing we got a new owner & new capital?
Clueless current gaffer who has resorted to be all-over-the- place comment wise, plays loanees at this pointless stage, and additionally also solely blame the employers (although he says he doesn't want to but just can't help himself?!) ....despite the bucket of responsibility of how they perform indisputably stops with HIM???!!!
IMHO You have to pay him some serious dough in monthly salary for a quality player to sign here, and not look elsewhere, regardless of the name of town's manager at at given time.
And ohhh let's not forget: If things not work out ....for whatever reason, for a player and his agent, "BEEN recently at itfc" is frankly not something you wanna figure on your applicable cv in this day & age! |

It's Deja Vu .... all over again!
In analogical terms, our shortage of goals is beginning to rival the North Chinese Drought of 1876!
This obvious still poorly MANAGER-trained-&-motivated hapless & lethargic bunch, could play until the next full solar eclipse .... and still not score!
Hmmm alas in honor of our new US investors, I hereby suggest the current team temporarily changes its name to the IPSWICH FIRESTARTERS. They are that burning hot up front!!!
Whatever undeniable magic the granted still refreshingly honest speaking Cook ONCE had at Chesterfield, Portsmouth and Wigan, sadly seems "Gone With The Wind" (or maybe "Gone With Leam Richardson" ???). --- And thus to make status as of this very day, Yes even I feel sorry for what hand Paul The IIII has been dealt at itfc, however even all your die hard Cook enthusiasts (with among other subtleties "it's not his signed players" archaic de facto excuses) must admit that the dubious FA reward:
****Brand-New-Manager-With-The-Most-NEGATIVE-Impact-On-His-Team Year Award****
should unanimously go to the this guy, the super brave perilous voyage taking Captain "I just might be seriously out of my sea depth HERE" Cook! |

Comment | Cook: Painful Nights Like These Hurt Me Deeply and I'm Sure They Hurt Our Supporters
at 02:35:17
So what do you think, simply a newly discovered syndrome then ehhh?
Because how else to comprehend this, quote "proven" Mr. Cook's very abject & very whole scale performance failure, here, with any remote sense of logic that is (OTHER than "nearly all the players p.t. here are demonstratively lethargic & crap")? lol
Why just of the top of my coconut I can personally think of a couple of much better known and more classic syndromes that most football fans should be able to relate to at some point of their fanhood:
"Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome", "Bogart-Bacall Syndrome", "China Syndrome", "Delusional Misidentification Syndrome" , "Hero Worship Syndrome", "Irritable Male Syndrome", "Nice Guy Syndrome", "Sore Loser Syndrome"
...and of course in particular as Town fans the strange syndrome which stems from being held hostage, "Stockholm Syndrome".
(Metaphorically speaking only obviously, as until recently this hostage taking being performed locally by the immensely football clueless, football indifferent & for many years now solely Scrooge-impersonating ownership of multi multi millionaire Marvelous Marcus. And as such imho some local fans clearly showed signs of Stockholm Syndrome, well since a unwavering number of them unfathomably still outright defended Evans and his dreaded failure ridden ownership here, all the way to the end?!)
So again why not just lay back & mellow out, while conveniently boiling it all down to:
**The Curse of Marvelous Marcus's Town & it's bugging PAUL SYNDROME** lol ???
....
....
NO? Well then check the following observations, please!:
Cook, likable & non I-played-for-some-big-clubs-u-know mostly straight speaking proper bloke aside, HIS odd starting xi (still with loanees at this junction???) and HIS affinity for indefensible untimely substitutions are all included factually not playing any more motivated, more committed, nor importantly notably more TACTICAL WISE/EFFICIENT oh or more GOAL GRAPPING! under him Paul The IIII, than under Paul The III or Paul The II.
On the contrary!!!
Also finally I must stress 1) argumentatively, and otherwise, there should be no such thing as a periodically "Freewheeling Manager" in pro football (well with the lone exception & unless the team mathematically can neither gain promotion nor steer clear of relegation, as well as him clearly being labeled "interim" when appointed.
2) But worse the over simplistic continuously used argument here that Cook should be exempt from any and all criticism p.t. solely because quote "it's not his signed players" is not only seriously old, old as in archaic, by now imo ...but as whole doesn't really stand up as being great nor a scale-tipping one i any serious court room. In short, in pro business a boss's job & RESPONSIBILITY is largely to get the employers to "produce". And since it's not practically feasible to fire the entire work force/all employers, then for a new boss this, "producing", is NATURALLY expected to not at the very very least be merely at a similar rate (DOH!) but to be at a somewhat better rate! than the one who was just let go and he replaced. Period! |

Lord, have mercy!
Imho processing & digesting an PR Paul analysis ...is in essence so beyond Nat Geo WILD! and basically so increasingly unlike! processing & digesting any analysis coming from any other contemporary H0m0 Sapien on this planet!!!
(Hmmm oh wait, well perhaps with the lone exceptions of one courtesy of certified-off-his-nut & seeing-grotesque-conspiracies-EVERYWHERE tv 'celebrity' Mr. Rudy Giuliani ...or obviously one from his most prestigious client, aka "He Who Shall Not Be Named", with sincere apologies to JK Rowling. lol)
Personally I always end my processing & digesting ordeal of PR Paul's verbal *FAKE* orgasms, by seriously pondering of controversial and nowadays banned psychosurgery methods ...and Flat Earth'ers!
And so I come out of my TWTD commentary retirement briefly again, only because my struggling with the mere ability to fathom ANYTHING remotely AUTHENTIC in this the very latest analysis of this football tactical genius & runaway manager-of-the-year candidate, is just too much ....and thus to not simply repeat the contains of most other btw spot-on comments here, I decided on a little further touching on the latter (them lovely Flat Earth'ers) and in fond remembrance of Elon Musk's delicious 'donut' to their beyond awesome The Flat Earth Society here:
by saying:
I hereby in all sincerity call on you PR Paul, to start exactly such an ehmm clearly *amissed* lol Martian related Society, first thing in the morning!
Why? Doh! Because your cuckoo delusional-like line of thinking and not the least assessments ...well assessment of just about everything lately... obviously amounts to being THAT sound, and THAT undebunkable!
PS: Yes indeed fellow atheists :-) , may The Lord truly truly have mercy on us = the joy starved fans of this once proud but now abjectly marooned club. With it's poignant mentally marooned etc. manager(s) and even more poignant clueless & indifferent owner. Amen :-) |
