[LazyArse]

Indefensible really.

i agree with you about the club but one of the execx chief duties is to represent the club. as i said i think the man u gaff is embarrassing. not a manchester club is worse than that. thats all.

All I now is that Garry Cooke is a great guy to play golf with.

That's all that should matter.

Lets get Jimmy Tarbuck in then!

What next, 'he is spiffing to go fox hunting with'? 'He is a real giggle at croquet'.

“Is he a nice guy? Yes. Is he a great guy to play golf with? Yes. Does he have plenty of money to run a football club? Yes. I really care only about those three things. Whether he is guilty of something over in Thailand, I can’t worry …"

Garry Cook on Shinawatra, just before the arrest warrant which singalled the end of his chairmanship...and almost the end for Manchester City.

Not read all the post so may repeat what others have said. I was there and really just recovered and I was a few behind the top table. Gary was saying all the right things and this gaff came after telling us all how this time was the real deal. Yes it was a gaff - but let's be real all I care is that he takes this club to the next level commercially and that his is job. I saw his face close up about 30/40 mins later and he was in a state - he had us eating out of his hand and then made a simple mistake. Don't forget the hall of fame has arrived under his stewardship.

One other thing as fans we are not going to move forward until we stop looking at the scums - we sing songs about them when we are winning, losing or drawing. We try to be mates with the fans by asking them to stand up and yes I am guilty about it too but I need a New Year resolution :-)

Gary Cook is the real deal, he will not lose his job over this and he should not! As for his other gaffs only those who raise their heads into the firing line can make mistakes - I am right behind him. BTW does not mean much because I am behind Hughes as well :-) Let's just laugh this one away and focus on why we cannot win.

He made a mistake. Does that make Cookie a monster?

So what about him:

Immediatly moving the ticket office to a more convinient location.
Listening to fans concerns and keeping fans upto date on any developments the club is making off the pitch.
Getting us a new website which, for all the complaints, is the envy of EVERY SINGLE other club's fans that has visited it.
Negotiating two mutlimillion pound sponsorship deals.
Getting a shirt manufacturer that instead of giving us generic strips, gave the club three completely unique kits.
Hired a top customer liason who has helped all who have gone to her with problems.
Got the forum a free night at the stadium, for no charitable event, just as a gesture to the fans.

See you can claim whatever the fuck you want, the bottom line is that you're an attention whore with no interest in facts.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I know the facts matey.

He's done some things to appease the supporters and it's bought him some good will. Personally I don't give a fuck how many beers he buys for the Bluemoon "guys" or what strip we wear.

When I see or hear him speaking in public he does not impress me as a man with the intellect or communication skills to run a top club.

Those are the facts for me.

 

[Bluemoonbaldboy]

No it doesn't. As it didn't make Sven after his "how does it feel joining U****d" gaff when he translated for some new players at their first press conference

There isn't a single fact in that post, just the opinion of a man with a chip in his shoulder.

Yep, my opinion is he is not the right man for the job.

 

[jrb]

In my humble opinion Cook 'is' the right man for the job. Would I rather have Gill, Kenyon, Kenwright, Whelen or any of the other faceless Chairman that run other EPL football clubs? Not a chance. I can forgive one genuine mistake when I see a man who is putting 100% effort into turning City into a club that we've always longed for.

Yet have not backed it up with anything, but you still mock the reasons of those who do put facts forward.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Who've I mocked then?

Here's a few things off the top of my head:

The gaffe from Friday night.
His disrespectful comments about Mark Hughes last year - "Mark likes to work within his comfort zone"
His comments about the premierleague should have 14 clubs and no relegation. Embarrassing.
The post-Kaka interview. He became a figure of fun and it reflected terribly on MCFC. The fact that the Kaka deal collapsed so quickly and spectacularly.
The apointment of Mark Hughes.
The comments about Shinawatra being a great bloke to play golf with.
The comments 2 weeks ago about City no longer being a Manchester club.
The blatant misunderstanding of "Typical City" and "City til I die" in the close season.
The way he hugged Tevez when he arrived.
The "Welcome to Manchester" poster. Not quite so funny now they've beaten us and Tevez looks average, is it?

Overall, he talks in management speak. That's the preserve of someone lacking in real conviction about what they're saying.

Maybe didsbury dave could run the club with his sparkling 'intellect' im sure his CV stands up well against Mr Cooks.....

 

[Didsbury Dave]

If you're going to make this about "intellect" ,as you put it, then it would be best to get your grammar right first.

It would give you a touch more credibility.
