Re: End of Gary Cook

This man is in the top job at a football club with ambitions to wim the Champions League. Yet he has no experience of football at all. Think about that.

Please run me through the football careers of David Gill, David Dein, Rick Parry or Peter Kenyon...

Gill served many years within United, then on the board, before becomming Chief Exec
Dein, WIth Arsenal since 1983, moved up in 2007
Rick Parry Ran the Premier League from 1991 (planning and inception) to 1997 before joining Liverpool
Kenyon worked for Umbro before joining United in 97 and then moving up to Chief Exec in 2000

All did time within Football before getting the top job

Re: End of Gary Cook

Well they might mean nothing to you, pal, but to me they show a man out of his depth. A man with no real understanding of the game.

But hey, he goes for a beer with the blues at the Euro aways, doesn't he?

What a guy.

Re: End of Gary Cook

May I take you all back 10 years... we are in division 2 fighting for promotion playing away at Port Vale. If someone told you 'you will be the richest club in the world in 10 years, with a new stadium with a board who appreciate and welcome your opinions... after Novemebr you are 6th in the Premier League and on target for a top 4 finish having just secured 2 huge big money sponsorship deals. However a vast majority of the fans will moaning about Football and the running of the club.' Wonder what you would have said back then?

Well I would have said... 'Ungrateful! They don't know how lucky they are.'

Funnily enough i'm still of that opinion!

Re: End of Gary Cook

I have just got back from the do now and I came on this board fully expecting the thread and knowing exactly what I was going to say.

Gary Cook has made a monumental faux pas. There is absolutely no doubt about that. However, being a man who regularly sees words coming out of his mouth that are the exact opposite of what he means to say, I can empathise. It's funny but sometimes you are aware of what you cannot say and that bloody phrase just shoots out of your mouth. I believe that is what has happened here having seen it happen. He gave a great speech beforehand and I am absolutely sure that he is mortified by what has slipped out.

For all the bad words against him though, none of them compare to the vermin that booed and heckled in the aftermath. Uwe Rösler came a long way for the benefit of us yet his whole speech was virtually inaudible because of ignorant, obsessed muppets who were too busy giving it the anti-Cook, he's a rag, shit. These fucking wankers had no respect for a guy who played his heart out for us because it was too important to them to have a pop at some perceived rag.

I tell you what, I have been supporting this club for thirty years but one thing has been proven tonight, there is a significant element of our support who deserve every last bit of failure they have been given.

Re: End of Gary Cook

I'm glad you've admitted to his earlier faux-pas's

This man is in the top job at a football club with ambitions to wim the Champions League. Yet he has no experience of football at all. Think about that.

Think about it again. It's like getting Nigella Lawson and putting her in charge of Natwest

terrible analogy.

he's got experience as a high-level executive at the market leader in a related industry.

Fools don't survive at companies like Nike.

don't tell his CV is like Mike Ashley's... that's an entirely different story.

There the PROVEN best at running a football club ...............Hopefully Gary Cook may emulate them but its a tall order.
