Thread | Cook on Structure (Sheff Wed intrerview)
at 12:50 3 Mar 2021
Given the situation, have you re-set the standards and criteria you would normally have?
I’ve got be careful, for managers when you’re out of work there are so many angles with social media and outlets for sport and news.
From a personal point of view, football has changed so much for a manager. There’s a new term called a ‘head coach’, isn’t there? And somewhere along the line in football, the manager has evolved into the head coach and the head coach is not the manager.
Well I’m a little bit old fashioned in that I think the manager is the manager and the head coach is the manager, that’s where I sit.
I see clubs nowadays and I feel the way forward is most definitely having a sporting director involved, recruitment rooms. A manager needs help, he really does.
But one thing that really does disappoint me, we only see managers sacked. You never, ever see anybody else within a football club sacked, do you?
So from my point of view I want to go back in and I’ve been lucky at my football clubs. Especially at Chesterfield where I had Chris Turner, my CEO, we had a fantastic relationship. I went down to Portsmouth with Leam Richardson we had Mark Catlin and Tony Brown, again a fantastic relationship.
I went up to Wigan with David Sharpe who was the chairman, sporting director, everything. And again I had a fantastic relationship. My latter stages at Wigan Athletic were with Darren Royle the executive chairman and with Joe Royle, the sporting director and again, a fantastic relationship.
I think those relationships at football clubs are absolutely paramount. It’s a huge thing for football managers going forward.

Horrible little man, listening to that just makes you constantly say what a ...... Finish listening to it and then smile to think he's no longer here. By all accounts Cook can also get a bit prickly in pressers which is fine as long as its not personal and you can back it up. |

Just read the article on the BBC, comes across very well. Genuinely nice guy, who knew when his time was up at Town and seemed genuinely distraught at not being able to make things work. Am I right in thinking he offered his resignation rather than was sacked (although that was probably coming) and that he had a hand in Micks appointment as his successor? |

Thread | What is it with these goons?
at 19:51 16 Jan 2021
Do they think we all walk around with a white stick, or are that stupid that we are going to buy into their verbal diarrhoea. If that was a fantastic performance its little wonder we do not improve if that is put over to the players that that is acceptable. Why would they up their performance if they are told that was fantastic and just going through the motions each week and having one attempt on goal is good enough to earn their thousands of pounds a week, it simply defies logic. Say it as it is, you may even gain an ounce of respect from the supporters, that was not good enough and we should be a whole lot better than that end of. |

If league games only Liam Gibbs was Towns 605th player (being the last player to make a league debut), but various players have only played in cup games i.e. the likes of Ndaba, Chirewa, Siziba etc. plus am sure others have only made FA/League Cup appearances etc. in years gone by, and not made a league breakthrough.

Thread | Where is our club captain?
at 23:35 12 Dec 2020
He's now more silent than the owner, both on and off the pitch. Has he now disappeared up Lamberts ar*e?, or is he restraining himself from really saying what he thinks of the whole situation. Worryingly biting back at fans and putting his fingers to his lips suggests he's in the Lambert brigade, like most of the club his communication with the fans seems to have broken down. |
