then who is? that c*nt kenyon? think again.......Rammy Blue said:regardless of what happened last night Cook should not be the CEO of City imo, this incident just reinforces my belief.
by all means keep him on in a marketing role or with something to do with developments but if we entertain aspirations of joinging the "big table" then Cook isn't the man to lead us.
maybe this gaffe will be the catalyst for a reshuffle.

Perhaps people were chatting when he was talking so he decided to slip in something to get their attention.buzzer1 said:WTF has that got to do with it?

exactly.
i wasn't there but ffs at least the hughes in or out thread had some fucking relevance, talk about getting you knickers in a twist about fuck all.
As said on the OTHER thread on this you need to take a long hard look at your life & yourself to get so wound up at this.Mavis said:As per other posts on here. I was at the OSC dinner last night. During Gary Cooks drab fully scripted speech, he inducted Uwe Rosler into the City Hall of fame. I suppose the only bit he assumed he could competently announce without his scripted notes is the club that he is charged with building into a global brand hence
"...... and it gives me great pleasure to induct Uwe Rosler into the Manchester United hall of fame..............................."
That alone is highly embarrassing & some would deem a sackable offence, but what happened next was more worrying.
I was on a table with Giles Curruthers (talk sport producer) who always gives a good account of city when on air, also susan bookbinder (5 live) was there. Basically Cook/ City's "people" went out of their way to ensure that this slip of the tongue wouldn't reach the media. There was serious pressure applied to Giles & Susan, and probably any other media hacks present. Probably along the lines of "if this gets into the media we know where it has come from & your (talk sport/ 5 live) media access to city will severely restricted." Well put it this way Giles who was fuming and is no fan of Cook, made it clear he would much prefer the fans to go public with this story.
RIP Gary Cook - You won't be missed !!!!
