Paul Cook sacked as Ipswich manager - Tomsk - 04-12-2021
He gooooone...
Didn't see that coming. He'll rock up somewhere soon in Lg1 or Championship though I reckon.

Leam Richardson Number 2
Maybe he was the boss all along??
RE: Paul Cook - Hammie - 05-12-2021
Ipswich seem to have descended from one of the best run clubs to one that make the same mistakes as the rest now.
RE: Paul Cook - mikey393 - 05-12-2021
Do we want him back?
RE: Paul Cook - Hammie - 05-12-2021
I would have nothing against him.
Still don't think he fits the Eisner's model. Too northern, likes a beer.
All I really want is a a manager who will build the club from the youth team up and play our youngsters ahead of loanees if they are good enough. Cowley might or might be good enough, I'm still to be convinced either way.
Cook did seem to be better at bringing in players who we could grow and sell on, plus the experienced heads he signed were mot definitely worth their place. Not sure Kenny made the most of the money he had to spend.

Cook? Or Richardson? I think his cover's been blown.
RE: Paul Cook - Pedalo_menders - 06-12-2021
Unfortunately I think Cookie has suffered a case of the 'Mourinio's'. Used to have an edge, then just ended up using the stick when things weren't going his way.
Gary Roberts was a fantastic player but he ain't no Richardson. Maybe Liam would have Cookie back at Wigan as his no. 2? Lol

Gary Roberts & John Keeley(goalkeeper coach who was here) have also been given the "Old Tin Tack"

Cook is a bit like Steve cotterhill. They both think they invented football. Still, the two titles he won (one lucky, the other bought) will see him get another job at some over club that's beneath people like him.
I'll miss his strops with the Ipswich press when they lose. They were always highly amusing.

'Too northern, likes a beer.'
Guilty as charged.
RE: Paul Cook - Tomsk - 06-12-2021
Scouse, are you a Pompey fan or a Liverpool/Everton/Tranmere/ANOther fan?
RE: Paul Cook - scouse - 06-12-2021
I thought that was obvious. Liverpool born and raised but lived in Pompey for over thirty years now. North upper season ticket and ex-shareholder.

I've long thought Pompey is like a Northern town/city implanted on the South Coast.
except everything costs twice as much.

Not according to the Beeb - as it says Roberts was given the "Old Tin Tack"
