Howe all the way for me Yes but how else is a coach meant to gain experience above league 1 in the first place. Also he did pretty well with Wigan despite them overspending on their squad. Obviously not his fault but was given a better budget I think than some think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a Cotterill type character to galvanise this club again and move us forward. Howe gives me the impression he’ll jump ship when the chips are down... That’s why I think Cook is the best available option for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Maybe Cook has made up his mind to stay up north, rather than not being interested in the club due to the set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to a podcast he did. The move from Portsmouth to Wigan he said was for football reason and also because contract talks didn’t go to well with the Portsmouth owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's positives for sure, but Cook isn't an SL type of guy. You have to worry in the respect . It shouldn’t matter if he likes him or not . He’s there to do a job & it’s down to Ashton to deal with him ever day . Similar with cotts though wasn’t it. Couldn’t wait to sack him. This is why we’ll never get to the prem with SL at the helm .

Howe all the way for me Because he’s the sort of character we need . Plays aggressive , attractive football . We won’t get Howe imo & I’m not sure he’s what we need at the moment . We need someone first of all to grind out some results. Not sure EH teams can do that. Especially with a squad shot of confidence . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 There is absolutely no way Howe or Cook will come here with the current setup. Deano was set up like a kipper by Ashton. It will be a lower league hopeful manager who is trying to better himself that will come here - and is prepared to take a gamble with his career. Get rid of Ashton - and Cook and Howe come on the radar IMO. Ashton OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose fault would it be then? It’s a good point, there’s always a risk. But the Johnson/Holden model hasn’t worked, so worth looking to go in a different direction.

Lenners Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Been told different to what KITR has been told re: Cook. Cook would come, he was happy to in the summer, he’s even more happy to now. He’s been speaking to several clubs, both in L1 and in the Championship and he would take this job. But not with the setup as it is. And it’s for that reason I’d be surprised if he got it. The club are keen on him if they can make it work, but I don’t think we’ll be changing anything to accommodate for him. I think we should do, but what do I know.

Howe all the way for me I’ll repeat. Wins things, spots talent and recruits well, on a budget, polishes rough diamonds....and doesn’t take any shit. Unfashionable? Yes. As Fordy says, getting Wigan to 13th last season (one place behind £62m budget Bristol City) was no mean achievement. Got them up from Lg1 on a budget less than £5m. A sample of his Wigan signings: Antonee Robinson Jamal Lowe Joe Williams Cedric Kipre Josh Windass Sam Morsy (Chesterfield too) Kieffer Moore @Harrywill supply a list of his signings at other clubs.

Someone needs to explain to me what our setup is and why it makes us unattractive, because I am a bit confused as to how some people see it. Is there too much interference from SL via MA? Do they have pretty much the whole say on players in and style etc like any ownership would? Are we being lied to consistently by MA and SL very publicly about how the head coach has final say on transfers? By setup do we mean that we have a bigger focus on the youth pathway to the first team and have a criteria to meet that coaches cant or dont want to adhere to? Surely as a head coach or even manager, all you want to do is be on the pitch with the players, pick the team etc and have the final say about players coming in? Surely that would take a massive weight off your shoulders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’ll be changing anything to accommodate for him. Let's hope SL doesn't leave the fanbase disappointed and bewildered for the 3rd time in a row. Bewilderment will lead to outright anger ( or, just as bad - complete apathy) I suspect if that's the case, and there are probably 5k ST renewals dependent on SL making any adjustments necessary to get this one right.
