It could go- Neil to Bristol, Cook to Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good record of promotions and has done well at Wigan, but he reminds me of Cotterill in his demeanour and that didn't end well. Also not sure of Neil as he appears to be a dour bloke who is a bit abrasive (just how he comes across to me - SOD like), although his fits the profile more so than Cook. Hughton for me.

I just think if it was to be Hughton we would have appointed him weeks ago , If he was our number one target why go through the process of interviewing ? We seem to have gone a long way round to then appoint Hughton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have gone a long way round to then appoint Hughton I'm guessing like everyone else, but if they employ Hughton they'll maybe have to make some changes to the structure which may cost money. They may be sounding out others who will fit in seamlessly with how things have been for the last four years. I don't know, but having thought about it, I'm not giving up on Hughton just yet.

Ashtonboy Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 The press is saying the administrators at Wigan consider Cook an asset on the books, so will hold him to his contract until and if compensation is paid. Could be reason for delay if he is the man the board want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 As someone with £27.78 at 18/1 on Cook being our new manager, somehow in my head it seems more likely we’ll sign Cook if this thread is near the top of the page.

Gazred Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Reminds me of the Bottom episode where they are all trying to raise funds for a dead cert in the 3.30 at Kempton named Sad Ken. Turned out to be a stich up, horse was blind and only had 3 legs. They shot it...and the jockey. Hopefully none of this is true for Paul Cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Paul Cook had 3 legs he'd probably be partaking in some other type of career.

They have the right, if not a duty to extract and maximise any potential revenue stream for benefit of the business and creditors. It's a new one though. Can't say I've heard of it before with respect to managers of a club in administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
