I’d also have say he is someone I think we could all get behind! I he was appointed. COYR. Think this myself.

It would now. Because he has left. Thus Wigan will not get compensation. So if they gave us permission it would be on the basis that compensation would be negotiated if he were to be selected! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jul/29/paul-cook-resigns-as-manager-of-troubled-wigan-before-appeal-hearing /\ Wigan would have been due compensation had he moved directly into another job, but it is understood Cook has told the administrators he does not have another position lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still prefer CH, but PC is growing on me more, the longer this thing drags on. Agreed. Some context needs to be given to getting Portsmouth out of LG2 (false division with their support and resource) and also getting Wigan into the championship which Gary Caldwell managed with them also. Can’t see what he’s got that will take us from mid table championship into the premier league? It’s more of a gamble than CH for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah CH first for me, but if as I expect, we’re going to give him a swerve, PC looks like like the best of the rest, though still a bit of a wild card. I just have a suspicion that as an up and coming manager who seems to progress wherever he goes, he could just work out for us. Knowing our luck though, we’ll turn out to be a step too far and find his ceiling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is the new guy, I'd expect City would pay compensation regardless, if nothing else to make it look less "messy".

citywest30 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Let's be honest the fact that it is possible an announcement is imminent and nobody has a scoobies who the manager will be is testament to how well the club have gone about their business from a professional point of view.
