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

[Rasputin]

Sligo spent €122,015 p/a on management and coaching staff last year.. so it's fair to say Cook is on pretty big money.

Heading to Accrington would be an okay move, but he's got a serious chance of winning the league in Ireland and move to a bigger club. He does deserve a better club than Stanley.

It's embarrassing at this stage.

I know but with a username like askmehoop what do you expect

[Sam_Heggy]

Are Sligo fans not completely p!ssed off at this stage at Cook's constant hooring himself out to other clubs?

Yes and no. From our point of view its a tad annoying - but now its settled for the season [which has all being out-of-season] so everything's grand.

You also have to consider his pov - having turned down St Johns, Derry and now Accie Stanley, he has kept his name in the shop window for a long time outside football season, therefore keeping a high profile.

He's a shrewd bhoyo and if we clinch the league this season, he's in with an even better chance of being picked up by a bigger club in 2012/13 English season.

So, all in all, you have to be realistic, and its a results based business and if he wins the league - he will have secured a reputation as the greatest manager Sligo ever had.

He's off to talk to Leeds tomorrow. 33/1.

Couldn't agree more shellyriver with your logic, he keeps his profile up, his name is out there and if he makes a breakthrough in the league this year then he'll go to a higher level club. He's a good manager and deserves a shot at a club better than Stanley.

[Rasputin]

As long as he keeps bringing success he can whore himself down the docks for all I care.

[Spudulika]

Rasputin, you post as if you know something. Lots of lonely trawlermen around Sligo? Awful stain on Cook's reputation, may only be good enough for the Spurs job! :-)

I dont get what the big deal is if your club had a very good player and he went on 4 or 5 trials in England and Scotland would you be very upset with him when he came back?

I'd wonder why my club was allowing a player to go on multiple trials, or trials at all - if a club wants a player they can scout him and then make an offer.

You would be upset that the club were allowing the player to try and get a deal that would be good for both him and the club?

Were you annoyed with Cummins then?

[El-Pietro]

I was annoyed that we let him on loan to Wolves yes.

I was very pleased when we told Millwall where to go when they asked to take him on loan

Do you really believe that there will be no more talk of a move before next November?

A tad naive me thinks

What is the latest on Ian Foster and Sligo?
