Just got back from the do.... and i see the new has travelled.
I am pretty annoyed by the event. He wasnt Drinking, and nobody has any idea where it came from. Yes its a slip of the tongue but..
..he made NO attempt to hide to cover it. He said "... now welcome Uwe Rosler into the Manchester United Hall of Fame" Stuttered a bit and then gave the award. Rosler spoke for a while then it came back to Cook who closed his speach very quickly to a chorus of boos.
Now, he had two options. One he laughs and says only kidding and corrects himself as it happens. Or after the 10 mins Rosler was on the mic he gets up and apologises for his gaff and we all move on.
He did neither. Idiot. He sat at the top table then for a while and took some flack, and then left. The Gaff pretty much runined the high, focal point of the night. The Room went silent. And he definatly should of addressed it in some way. Considering the entire ELT (Executive Leadership Team), Simon Pearce (name check) who runs all the Sheihks business in Europe and some of the country press top brass were there. He should of said something.
In his speech he had banged on about how the club had been getting bad press and how much it hurt him. He gave the rhetoric on how we are progressing and how we are moving forward. He tried to paint himself not as a leader but as one of us and then pissed all over it.
Lets not forget that this is the man who told fans at the BBQ in Abu Dhabi, "We are not the Manchester Club". He is a fool and he needs to come forwards and address this incident.
