Clearly a good manager, but clearly and literally a level down in terms of quality from CH at present? Why are you comparing him to a manager we seemingly cannot get? Might as well compare him to Klopp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I need to find out more about him, because other than the form book I don't know what he's all about. It doesn't help that he's not as handsome and Hughton. That's put me right off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRoss Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I like Cook, If we do get him in Kiefer Moore for Famara if he's going and get Joe Williams in for Korey would be an upgrade and would partner Walsh well from their Everton youth days.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Clearly a very capable manager but I feel we need to make a statement with our next managerial appointment. We have an issue with bristol being seen as a footballing backwater and I'm convinced we lose out on good players to more well known clubs due to this. I feel we need to lead from the top in this regard. Cook no matter how solid an appointment will be seen as a cheap option in many peoples eyes, not just here in bristol, but in the footbaing community also.

Dangerous on set pieces etc. But apparently he plays good football so I must be wrong! I think he's usually played a 4231 or 4141 kind of system. Oh god, I remember watching them at AG and then playing brilliant football with neat little triangles. They ran rings round us. That’s the first time I made note of his name.

Midred Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Does he have any decent back room staff or would he work and remould our present assistants? Other question, any players he could bring with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, what has the world come to when we’re coveting Kiefer Moore! I remember seeing him play for Forest Green Rovers a few years ago and he couldn’t have hit a cow’s rear end with the proverbial banjo. I accept that he’s had something of a miraculous transformation, but is he really what we need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I’m happy to trust people’s judgement on here, a huge majority seem to be in favour of him. Personally I’ll admit I know almost nothing about him, never been on my radar. But, I am concerned that his main plus point does seem to be that he has ‘done Wonders with Wigan’.

BCFC Grim Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Meh. Since november he has done a cracking job, but just sticks in my mind reading a thread on their forum completely berating him around that time. Shit boring football. And apparently they spent 8 million in the summer. Obviously not on the level as some but not the pittance some make out. Unfortunately just the type of appointment we will make. Can't imagine itll have too many people making a mad dash to renew. I've lost so much enthusiasm in the last couple of weeks due to the thought of this sort appointment.

Clearly a good manager, but clearly and literally a level down in terms of quality from CH at present? I will explain (fwiw I'd prefer Hughton) but Cook has got teams promoted on smaller budgets. It's fair to say Hughton at Newcastle and Brighton had large financial backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is clearly a good guy as his handling of the admin situation showed, but he did not have a stand out season that would make me think he is the guy for us.

We will want to be able to mix with the bigger kids now and will need someone to represent us and the ‘brand’ and be respected in the footballing world. I’m not saying for a moment Paul Cook isn’t that person, like I said above I really don’t know. But I would want someone who can hit the ground running, not still learning about the Championship and beyond. Big ask I know, and an expensive one. But as we have said many times, learn from the rugby club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they also lost a large number to reduce the wage bill.....this includes Nick Powell to Stoke, Windass to Sheff Wed, Mcmanaman to Luton, Vaughan to Bradford and Lopes to Hull.
