Senior Figures at City Are Saying...

[john@staustell]

If Garry Cook left, would anyone be sad?

Some blues have indicated it might be a silver lining.

Gary Cook has been a complete embarrassing disaster. Continually putting his big feet in his mouth, compromising our progress with his silly outbursts.
I've never met Cook - but the crap that always surrounds him had me surprised he held on to his job last season.

..

May be something to do with a 44% increase in year on year revenue.

he wants more power and money IMO, its time to cut the cord. I've grown sick and tired of his toys out the pram attitude its not as if this is the first time, he believe's he's bigger than the club. He should be banished from the club, sold and replaced ASAP. I've heard we're deep in negotiations with Torres, even before this came out, get him in and get rid of Ade and replace him with Dzeko.

this is why we are in a strong position regarding tevez due to sheik mansour!! tolmie has already said this weekend that its moved on with dzeko and if we can manage to get torres or someone like that then we are probably stronger than before.dont get me wrong im gutted carlos is going but we need a big name to fill his boots and a fit torres would be superb!!

Indeed, so easy to jump on the Gary Cook bashing bandwagon when we could support super hero, super loyal, City in his heart Tevez. NO player is bigger than the club. Adios Amigo. Enjoy retirement because what club can afford you or your advisors demands?

Would those blues have any idea of what Cook has achieved since being at the club? I would suggest not.

Personally, I trust Khaldoon's judgement, and so should other blues.

I can only see two people who are to blame - 1. Kia Jibbajabba. 2. Herman Munster. Lets all quickly put it to bed and support the Blues v everton like our lives depend on it. We are one, we are many!

Indeed business wise the man has achieved results for us. Only issue is when he opens his mouth in public his gaffs are an issue.

Since when has a player needed to have any relationship whatsover with someone who sits on the board?

It is fcking ludicrous....

My thought process is

Madrid got dicked by Barca. Madrid chairman shits himself and says to Mourinho "Who do you want in Jan"

Mourinho says Tevez

Chairman on phone to Kia...The rest is history.

He isnt going back to Argentina. The fact he got caught with his pants down is his own fault anyway so I dont blame his missus for going back to her own country. He should have thought about that before he nobbed someone else.

At this point, reasons are virtually irrelevant to me.

FACT: City have bent over backwards to both make him "welcome" and provide him ALL the financial and emotional support ANY club in the world COULD have given him.

FACT: His family issues are COMPLETELY of his own making, NOT City's.

FACT: As Club Captain, he has a responsibility to BOTH learn some decent English and NOT react like a spoiled brat when the BOSS acts like a BOSS and makes a tactical change WHENEVER HE WANTS.

FACT: He is the highest paid player at the club and has been treated like a King by the supporters, most of whom DREAM about making his season's pay in an entire lifetime.

FACT: If his problems are with the EXECUTIVES at City, then he needs to STFU, play the football he is being paid to play and HONOR the MASSIVE contract his buddy, Kia, agreed he should sign.

He stays until someone pays us what a player who scores in the EPL once very 1.6 games SHOULD BE WORTH. Maybe Kia should buy out his contract AGAIN from the £60M HE has made from Tevez in the last few years?!!

I have cheered, sung and clapped along with everyone else at every step. However, players come and players go (at City more than most places!) and, while Tevez had the chance to be among the pantheon who gave their best years to this club for a small fraction of what he gets for it today, THIS action will NEVER allow him to get there for me.

I'm grateful for the strike rate. I'm grateful for the chance of success he has helped create for the club this season. However, beyond that, he is just another of the replaceable faces who have worn a sky blue shirt over the 40 years I have been following the club. Good luck to him, but BETTER luck to CIty. THEY are who I support, not the individual players for whom I may have an affinity.

However, as for Tevez - get rid ASAP together with Adebyor.

I have suddenly sensed recently that the 'team' play better without them...........
