Fontaineofallknowledge Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I reckon we could do a lot worse than this man for a variety of reasons. Achieved promotions with chesterfield, Pompey and Wigan so clearly knows how to organise teams and get them over the line. is known for going on cup runs with his teams-remember Wigan beating Man City? He has achieved miracles at wigan with a wage bill about a third of ours (C.£11m a year), also they always give us a really tough game and his team are on fire with 7 wins in a row and 1 goal conceded! I like his passion (his voice has always gone in post match interviews) And think he’s a good motivator. he should be relatively cheap and easy to get given Wigan’s issues at the moment? anyone else agree?

Mendip City Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I reckon we’ll look to avoid paying compensation- I might be wrong. If that’s not the case then he’s a really sensible candidate, realistic and less of a gamble than Lowe. Though, and this applies to many, will he get on with MA, SL and the plan? Despite the shift in job titles, I feel most British head coaches want to and expect to be managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Cook would be in my final three, along with Hughton and Jokanovich. I’m sure the board has other thoughts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 A decent manager, promotions at Chesterfield, Pompey and Wigan. With Wigan’s current predicament, I’m sure we’d be a very attractive proposition to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I know a coach that worked for him at Pompey and wasn't a fan. He's a bit of an old school type that shoots from the hip. I think he has too much of a disagreeable personality for SL. And he doesn't have the required proven experience to take us to the next level. His CV is impressive though and his recruitment has been stellar. He could be the next Wilder. But not the man for us at this current time.

YGBjammy Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Would definitely be happy if he was appointed. Pretty impressive record of success. I guess the only criticism could be that he's unproven in the championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t want another yes man that repeatedly gets turned over by Neil Harris/Warnock types surely? unless we go down the continental route I don’t see much beyond cook or hughton that isn’t a risk? who would u appoint then?

Magicdaps Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I like Cook but I said on another thread that I felt he'd be too abrasive for the Bristol Sport brand and not quite statesmanlike enough when compared to the likes of Hughton or Jokanovic. Not surprised to hear the comments regarding his old school nature as that's precisely what I'd expext. I'd be seriously interested to see what he could do with a decent budget mind you although sometimes those factors don't mix all that well. The three names above would be my personal top three.

TonyTonyTony Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hughton top of the list but Cook has to be second. The job he has done at Wigan is tremendous. I would be delighted if we got him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But SL doesn't choose managers that aren't yes men, or at the very least have agreeable personalities. I don't think we'll appoint a manager that hasn't worked in England before, either.

AppyDAZE Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 SL would really go up in my estimation if he took a risk and actually avoided the so called yes man. Cook looks like a great option to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you’re right, just don’t think Cook is the right fit. Personality, our location, his CV all wrong. Beginning to think that Quique Sanchez Flores and Jokanovic will be near the top of the list, possibly above Hughton. I’d be very happy with any of those three.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Cook seems a great choice. I had a concern with respect to his away record of course, think he win two games in a season and a half or thereabouts? 2020 comes along! Give me Five (away wins)! Strong man manager, good tactically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Cook looks just like the sort of character this club has been missing for years (for about 4 years i suppose.) I'd love to appoint this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
