Winning is a habit and teams are built in cycles. Double hops are often seen. Jealous of Sunderland

Sunderland definitely have the set up and fans for the prem, just rarely have a team to cope, then the fans can turn into a millstone round weak players collective necks. They don' seem to be very good at great escapes.

If Cook didn't go to Wigan I reckon he would have taken us up at the first attempt with that team he built for us

I've got a vague notion in the back of my head that it's something to do with a thing called ambition!

You maybe right, unfortunately we'll never know.
However, there are two points that come to mind.
Firstly, as I recall, the popular perception is that it was the players that got us over the line in the last dozen or so games not Cook.
Secondly, love him or hate him, he was a foul mouthed Scouse git and I wonder how comfortably that would have sat with our American friend.

Indeed. What may have been.
