i agree that the buck stops with the chairman, but if a manager is given a budget and squanders it terribly, that's at least partly down to the manager and has a detrimental effect on the club going forward! |

thanks everyone.
guess we'll probably never totally get to the bottom of it, bit of an unreliable narrator aspect to it! |

disliking someone's personality is different from wanting them to succeed and thinking they had a chance to improve given their track record.
sometimes a marmite character be it a jose, a mick, a fergie or a cook is what a club needs at a particular point.
if mckenna gets us up (this season or next), it'll be at least partially thanks to players who've come here because of cook
(and "bending over backwards to defend him"? all i said is i don't find it surprising that many people rate him above lambert et al. at best that's damning with faint praise!) [Post edited 9 Jan 22:31]

some are, some aren't, but you could also argue that results are at least partially outside the manager's control!
i didn't particularly *like* cook, but feel he did much less damage to the club than many on the list, which is why i'm not surprised many look on him more kindly than your ranking |

financial state is a manager's responsibility. if he spends badly, the club goes backwards, far more of a long lasting legacy than a few results! |

results aren't the be all and end all, there are other things to bear in mind
did a manager leave a legacy of good players?
did he leave an ageing group?
did he leave an undisciplined group?
did he leave us in a parlous financial state due to overspending?
did he leave us with a better relationship between club and fans?
did he leave us with an decreasing or increasing attendance?
length of tenure and whether sacking was overdue or a bit early?
lots of things to bear in mind, so i'm not surprised cook is seen by many as better than the likes of jewell, keane & lambert |

burns says "“I think everyone knows pretty much what went on with Nors", but has it ever been explained?
norwood seemed adamant it wasn't cook's doing, so is the consensus that it was ashton or that cook was told not to play him by the fitness team? |

given that evans was ultimately responsible for the signings (or lack of), my list of the last 10 would be
1. evans
2. evans
3. evans
4. evans
5. evans
6. evans
7. evans
8. sheepy
9. sheepy
10. gamechanger (maybe unfair to place them after 2 games!) |
