The sooner we get someone in who says things like:-
"I just hope it's a good game"
"We're just happy to be here"
"United are obvioulsly the favourites"
"Let's take things slowly"
"Success isn't everything"
"Take it a game at a time"
"Would be nice if we can push for a European place"
The better!!
Who wants a Chief Exec that's dynamic and keeps bigging us up?

Totally agree we were humble in defeat and the key to winning support and backing is being gracious and humble in vicory. I would love to have an hour chat with Gary Cook on what we have gone threw in the last 33 years.
I hate Man Yoo coz of their Arrogant ATTITUE AND I WOULD HATE US TO HAVE THAT IMAGE AS A CLUB And as fans.
We would turn into the devil we hate overnight.

Why would you want someone who says stuff like that? Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence those comments.

I honestly believe Garry Cook knows what we've been through. I know he has met with lots of fans and understands the pain of the last few decades. I do believe it hurts him personally and I am certain he cares more about making City a success than his predecessor. Time to move on I think. Let's focus on moving forward and leave the criticism of Chief Execs to other clubs. As experience has proved at City in the past, Liverpool today and hopefully utd going forward, a divided club fails.

It almost seems possible to me that GC, having spent time in the US and particularly during this NYC trip/meetings that football, never mind City, got the typical signals on football in the US which led to his silly rant at the mad hatter.
The US market will make any foreign ceo in any business drool, but its all been tried before. Its almost impossible for any foreign CEO in any business not fall for the lure of NYC and the potential market share in the US, especially when you boss has the kind of cash that GC's does.
He probably met with MLS, a small time outfit comparatively speaking, which made him puff his chest out
Then he met with big corporations, which have been burned locally by becksum, and to whom football is off the radar, behind baseball, american football, basketball, hockey, nascar, college sports, etc. But they give him his face time as football is so big globally to ignore, same old "surely its just a matter of time". Well its never going to happen, no commercial breaks, no TV deals, not going to happen, ever.
Latter a trip to the Mad Hatter, which sums up the US football experience in a nutshell - small groups of fanatical support. A couple of pints alter, no one outside this pub knows who I am, why dont I grab the mic and make some bold prediction that no one outside of this pub will ever hear. No way does he ever make that statement anywhere else, he simply thought it would go unnoticed and unreported.
Yes, he was not playing yesterday. But its sports psychology 101, do not give the other side bulletin board material. its just the way athletes are, give them anything to stoke the fire and the performance will be inspired.
Hopefully GC has learned his lesson, it was a mistake. He needs to speak about his expertise when in public, the business of CITY
rant over

Re: Tonight was GARY COOKS FAULT
Looks like I may have been right, this time. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jan/28/manchester-city-united-darren-fletcher" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010 ... n-fletcher</a>Ricster said:Disagree. Every player is always up for the derby.lionheart said:In all seriousness, Cook's remarks almost certainly motivated the Rags to play harder than would normally have been the case. Not sure if it made all that much difference, but his words were certainly poorly timed.
