One thing that keeps coming back into my mind is these comments made about the confidentiality clause entered into by both clubs, he states that he feels Milan broke that, why are we just taking it, was this agreement not entered into by law?

The representatives wanted to talk about money. Why shouldnt they? This was a deal trying to bring one of the best known footballers on the planet metorphorically speaking.

Gary Cook should of told the representatives the contract deals immediately after they asked how much would the player be earning I seriously do not understand why he didnt want to talk about that if he did we could of had Kaka this morning im extremely disappointed with the whole transfer day it was supposed to be the best according to people on this forum but we have to settle for Craig Bellandy who still acts like a 12 year old and will definitely unsettle somebody in the ranks if Elano can.

Same goes with the Ronaldinho discussions he always seems to pull out its ridiculous.

Gary Cook please resign.

Of course not. Breaking an agreement is not the same as breaking the law.

You and I could agree to buy something together and I will give you half the money. So you order it and pay for it and then I say I have changed my mind and you're not having my money. I have broken our agreement, but not the law.

You *could* decided to sue me for damages of course. But you would have to take that up as a civil case, it's not a criminal case.

So - assuming we had a confidentiality agreement with Milan - we could decide to sue them if they have broken it. But only in line with the provisions of the agreement and only with regard to information that is not otherwise available in the public domain. And we would have to demonstrate the extent to which we had been damaged by their breach of the agreement, assuming we could prove they had breached it. All of this would cost a bomb and more importantly take up our execs time and effort when they could be better employed doing more useful things.

In short, forget it.

Sorry, it is not.

Cook's initial statement last night was a bit bizarre and the club PR machine was a bit slow to jump into action but I think he's played a blinder today. He's come over really well in the interviews I've seen and he looks like a man playing a straight bat.

No matter how good he is, if you want to buy something and the other party doesn't want to sell, there's not a lot anyone can do.
