The Tevez thread on Bluemoon ?
Plus if you actually read what you just linked to, Cook underlines what my thinking is.
"We have always said we will keep our workings internal, and don't openly discuss any of that information.
"It's a good strategy and maintains our dignity, because at the end of the day we will be playing with the very best clubs in the world and we want to behave like one of the best clubs in the world."
So i'll say again - IF talks are progressing well and Terry wants to come, then what purpose does a public statement from the player make?

Completely to the contrary mr marketing, Mr Cook obviously feels making a statement is important, especially as 'things are going on'.
The fact the statement is simply to ask the fans to be patient just further proves my point.

I'm following the betting market on him leaving Chelsea on Betfair and someone is trying to get a bet laid of nearly £1500 on him staying at odds of 1/4, so if money talks it's not looking good.
Also, this was probably discussed earlier somehwere but I can't see it. What is the consensus about Mike Whalley's comments about the Terry situation in his MEN article today? Do we think he's guessing about the improved deal Chelsea are about to make? Haven't seen many other journos claiming to know what's going on.

I'd bet that Mike Whalley (like MEN has been doing for a while)...are using info that is already reported before putting together an article like that.

You're arguing a completely different thing. Nowhere have I said good fan and press relations are unimportant. That would just be stupid.
Cook is saying to the fans we aren't going to disclose things that don't need to be disclosed. But that negotiations often take time so we need to be patient. Evidently, Terry doesn't need to say anything to the public right now about his position if he is actually interested. Unless of course that all these rumours are bullshit and he has absolutely no intention of leaving. THEN it would be beneficial for him to come out and say so to appease the Chelsea fans. But if he came out and said "im interested in hearing what City have to say", then he loses the support of Chelsea fans, regardless of whether the deal happens or not - but I suppose that is the smart thing to do from a "media and PR" perspective right?

Or laoded and does it as a living gambling. It isnt really a high risk bet for a proffesional gambler. He stands to lose 1500 if he keaves but if he stays he banks 6000
It seems we are talking cross purposes... your original post didnt specify the nature of a statement or who was making it, just that one shouldn't be made. Anyways, since you're a big swinging d*ck in marketing I'm sure you don't have time to split hairs over media statements ;)

If you read the post I was quoting instead of trying to jump in like a dick with your "you dont understand the media" bollocks, you would know the nature of the statement that was being discussed.
"The thing is i want him to be a city player as much as every other city fan. But he is pissing me off he could make a statement right now if he wanted to but hes cowarding away from whatever it is and he needs to put this to bed."
