Paul Cook .... going? staying? gone?

[askmehoop]

Rattled.

extremely rattled, cant believe you got me poster.

[dong]

Na he just skypes these very reputable journalists to get his info.

Heres exactly what he said:

Can any Sligo fan confirm 100% that what I was just told is untrue, that Sligo are paying a whack of money to Monaghan in compensation? Just off skype with one reputable journo and he said it's a done deal. But it could be a wind up. He did say that Cook was gone 100% before the news broke, but this time.

Exactly. Pure unadulterated bluff.

Fair enough Nigel, but dont judge us in the the middle of change, judge us after it.

I'm not really judging as such. Just stating I think it's all been very unprofessional.

[Cuyahoga]

Accrington Stanley lost again today, maybe Cook will be coming back to Sligo !

[Martinho II]

Ex Bristol Rovers mgr Dave Penney was seen high in the stands at flansiro taking notes at Sligo Rovers longford town friendly today.. wonder is he the man for the job now?

Spudulika, you bluffed on here that Collins was practically packing his bags to head for Sligo. That's what I was obviously referring to which you well know and I was calling you out on the fact that your statements on here are usually rubbish.
Yo try to pass yourself off as some sort of agent type who operates on a level none of us do and has access to all sorts of information none of the rest of us do but it's mostly tall tales that nobody can verify.
Maybe you are a journalist or think you're a journalist, i don't know and I don't quite understand it.

Dong, I'll take it for the moment that you understand the difference between bluffing and repeating what was heard, rather than planting stories or stirring - which probably constitutes 95% of posts on forums anyway. I didn't understand what exactly you were referring to in terms of Rodster, I was surprised in the first place that he'd be linked with the job (though he does have good buddies in the meeja who'll always give him airtime) and by throwing back insults, well, doesn't become you and smacks a little of being overly defensive. I do understand that you feel you've to defend what's happening with your club, though a little perspective is needed. You came hard about me mentioning that I'd worry about Rico walking into a warzone - why not just address that rather than trying to muckrake and insult? If it's not a warzone or there aren't problems behind the scenes, say so. We can all have an opinion, but lowering it to a insult level doesn't move anything positive into it. And I'm not a journo, just so you can understand it.

edit: Forgot to add, certainly not an agent let alone a super agent, I can actually venture out of the house during daylight, and also don't need to sleep in a crypt.

Fixed it, the rest is correct :-)

AMH, we all struggle with rumour and fact, some struggle more than others, and the rest work with the Irish meeja :-)

The fact is that the only rumours I believe are ones validated by my Swedish girlfriend's Dad.

[Spudulika]

Nah, he's not into inflatable ones, sure they've flocks of them out there, and Swedish ones are woolier - more to hang onto :-)

Acorn, never thought of that!

[Royal rover]

unsworth and mike newell were both at the longford game yesterday, unsworth was forever writing notes during the game - the final interviews took place in the longford arms hotel after the game - expect an announcement tomorrow regarding the new manager, please note that Roddy will not be the new manager

[Acornvilla]

Acorn, never thought of that!

Isn't that why we let all the foreigners in for in the first place?
