Off Topic Ipswich - Paul Cook

Gone...

 

Interesting to see which way they turn now.

 

Second top scorers aren't they, but level with Cheltenham ...

... obviously don't trust him with the January sales.

 

Brutal. Just goes to show how much teams underestimate this league Interesting to see if they go for another name or something a bit left field

 

Interesting turn of events, club owners are strange beasts, you let your manager bring in loads of new players and expect an instantly jelled team and in less than four months they get rid.
Be interesting to see how they finish up come seasons end.

 

Can’t bring in the amount of players they did and expect everything to automatically click in to place , expect too much to soon . How many managers seem to lose their jobs before they face the mighty SAFC he seems to be one of the many - are they looking for the new Manager bounce a la Charlton?

 

He was my first choice after Parky. Shows what I know eh. Best not let me pick anyone if Johnson gets the bullet...

 

Cook is quite highly rated by some Sunderland supporters despite losing to us and being mid-table despite a big outlay.

Yet they're surprised he's been sacked ...

... but feel Johnson should be sacked while two points off top and half a team injured.

It's a funny old game.

 

Says it all… Cheltenham the worst league team I’ve seen up here. Absolutely dreadful. Slapped a few quid on them to get relegated straight after our game. Shocked to see their form since that night.

 

Loves a good drink, doesn’t he? Went on like a right tit up here a couple of weeks ago.

 

Are you Jimmy Greaves in disguise ?

 

Lee Johnson is 16/1 to be the next Ipswich manager... I know, that ain't happening.

If I were them I'd be trying to persuade Chris Hughton or Steve Bruce.

 

Bruce is a good shout. He likes to manage both teams in a rivalry. E.g us and them, villa and brum, Sheff Utd and Sheff Wed. He played for Norwich so why not manage Ipswich

 

One of their posters said they were at a match and sat behind the dugout. The game wasn't going to well and he says he could hear Cook bellowing out his inspirational instructions to the players... 'Well do something then'

 

that means a pasting for us when we go there then.

 

Can't judge a manager by their poor performance at an individual club - just look at Moyes' success at West Ham.

 

Sure it was mentioned part of Peter Reids role was to give inspirational speeches in the dressing room.....found that bizarre when i read....if Reids doing that....what the fook does the manager do in the dressing room, meant to be managers role to inspire a performance isnt it?.....he was probably as good as gone at that point

 

Right managers, at right place, at right time sometimes.

Parky and Grayson would never of been right imo.
I think Johnson and Ross have the right attributes, Ross wrong time maybe ?
Also luck, I think Moyes has a lot of luck, he was on a hiding to nothing here at the time. It was just the manner in which he went about it and the shìt ex players of his he dragged in to drag us down.
The dour, wet, ginger, porridgewog bastad.

 

Brilliant character description, mate. Well done!
