Cook is a clever guy and given a lot of unfair stick!

[Bojinov The Bull]

This whole managerial change was always going to be a nightmare from the minute it leaked on Saturday. However, Cook has been very clever in how he's dealt with it, he read an exact statement that was well prepared and printed on the City website with the soul purpose of meaning papers couldn't print whatever they wanted.

It was impossible for them to find any inconsistencys or lies in it because of this (which they have just decided to print anyway!) and it means that city now have hard proof of what was said and then what was reported...

...i.e. I think unless some retractions appear in tomorrows papers some people are going to get sued!

I respect Garry Cook a lot and I think he does a great job, a lot of people give him a hard time but the simple fact is we are more professional than we have ever been, we are better run and most importantly MORE IN TOUCH WITH THE FANS!

I find it hard to believe that some have issues with cook...

Do you not think his squirming was a tad embarrassing at the conference yesterday? Press have got a major issue with him because he clearly hasn't been telling the truth about Hughes' dismissal and refused to answer questions on the subject.

Just got to give Mancini our full support now. Still doesn't stop Cook being a clown.

But giving Mancini support is excactly what cook was doing yesterday...The press conference was about Bobby Manc being instated as new manager....not why and how Hughes was terminated....

he is a business man, not a football man. that is his fundamental weakness and it is blatantly obvious. cant see him at city much longer tbh, next mistake and hes out.

Agreed. Wish the conference did concentrate purely on Mancini cos he seems like a top bloke and handled himself really well. Got a lot of hope for the future now, definitely more so than under Hughes. The subject of Hughes was always going to come up though and I didn't GC handled it partciualry well.

considering he had to face those wolves baying for blood no. It was not his decision to sack hughes and he did not deliver the news. i suppose you would have handled it better ?

he had to sit there and take that shit and i appreciate him for doing it !
