so what if the mirror have written some rubbish, it about goes in line with Gary cook rubbish, hes a liar, and knows nothing about football, here for the paycheck, has no football contacts , is nothing more than a merchandiser/marketer, and he is our ceo???? Chief executive officer!!!, that positon is supposed to come with experience and knowledge and in the football world contacts, he has none, has worked at Nike for 12 yrs basically getting merchandise and marketing deals etc for sports stars, thats it ! anyone who pays any notice to anything the man says is misguided, and as for the mirror good luck to them attacking him, they have not liked our club for a long time Darren lewis has been riding on our back for 12 months for stories basiclly because he is clueless aswell and can't come up with anything else! crap paper, crap journos and Gary cook crap aswell they all deserve each other, the sooner cook goes the better, how about all this nonsense he has put on the website, look at my statement etc, i was Not lying etc etc, Cook, yes you were, you were asked did you approach mancini three weeks ago, you said no definately not etc, but you did lets face it we all know and any fan should see through this nonsense, why not just say, results wernt that great we had a chat with mancini keep on our radar for a few weeks if results didnt improve etc, enough said that way you dont look like a fool! but hey presto as usual Cooks finds a way of making us look stupid by having completely different story to a man sat right next to you, and then all the desk stomping etc when you get caught out with your crap pre written statement!!! idiot pure and simple



......And breath.


Sad thing is that the media will harp on about Cook until our bosses decide they have had enough and remove Gazza from his position,We simple can't win. Then the silly twats won't stop going on about what a nasty little club we are for sacking the regal and noble Mr Cook!!!!
 
agree Cookie aint covered himself in glory...............

however he's a city employee and will back him............

next time he comes to our supporters branch no doubt a few will have a chat with him.....

bad attack by Oliver Holt today on Cookie in which Holt reveals details of a private conversation between them both......

But that attack proves that Cook has been talking shite to whoever will listen. Whether it was private or not, it still happened and he still said the things printed. It annoys me on here how people cloud over things just so MCFC or anything to do with it doesn't look bad. He has fucked up if that conversation happened, and it proves he talks shite to make himself look good to whoever is within earshot.

I assume the article refers to the conversation that Cook had with Holt and a few others in Doha in which he railed against knee jerk reactions and that sacking Rafa would be stupid and Hughes was safe etc.

Leaving aside the fact that you don't reveal off the record conversations because if you do no one will have them with you in the future it does not reveal that Cook talked shite. Now Cook does talk shite a lot of the time and as the last vestige of the Frank regime his last act may be to attract the media venom over the Hughes sacking before being given the boot.

Sacking Rafa six weeks ago would have been premature but after the Pompey defeat it is now starting to look inevitable and if they could afford to sack him they probably would have by now. Things move quickly so what was the situation six weeks ago may look very different now. And we are talking about a manager who has won the CL and finished runners up in the CL and the Prem last year.

Six weeks ago Hughes may have been secure in the job or may have been secure as far as Cook was aware. What no one knows is who exactly lost patience with Hughes. The Sheikh, Khaldoon, both, whatever. Cook has argued Hughes case in the past but self preservation must have kicked in at some point.

Personally I couldn't care less about Cook if I tried. I think he is ok as the CEO but not the business genius some make him out to be and I have long said that Cook should not be allowed to speak in public. Stays, goes not bothered.

As for the knee-jerk tendency in football yes it is stupid and it will always exist however I fail to see why Sheikh Mansour replacing a manager he inherited with a choice of his own 16 months after buying the club is a rash response. The simple fact is that after watching Hughes spend £200 million plus this season was looking like a rerun of last seasons debacle with underperforming players and less then convincing displays. Hughes wanting yet more money in January was the deciding factor in not continuing with his services. As a business decisions go, not entrusting more funds to man who struggled to deliver and made endless excuses its a bit of a no brainer.

Well olly holt has just burned one hell of a bridge then.
 
the prick's banging on about abramovich going to most of chelsea'a games while sheikh mansour hasn't been to any city. firstly abramovich is resident in the uk so it's not a hardship. secondly sheikh mansour is a member of the ruling family in abu dhabi and there would be serious security issues regarding a visit. the club has said that when he comes to a match it will never be announced in advance.
 
Get real. CEO's are not employed to be nice and cuddly. They are there to do a job in a business and, at times, rutheless like manner. You don't find many CEO's that specialise in their current employers industry. They are brought in to manage a business on a commercial and financial basis. Doesn't excuse the purile and venomous journalism currently being touted as news.
 
yes the tosser says Roman goes to matches well yes he has a mega apartment on the Kings Rd.........

Sheikh Mansour is thousands of miles away and has just a few other little projects on the go apart from City and he is part of the ruling family.......................

how does he know he has not been...............it is better that way as the security will be mega if known in advance.........
