Looks like he decided to get off the pot, so.....
So he heads off for a week or so, missing a pre-season preparation game in order to talk to a second club since last season ended and now he's back again. Inspiring stuff for the players he's trying to motivate!
He's gotta be on serious money at Sligo to turn down Accrington
I don't think Accrington's budget would be huge compared to the top LOI sides.Quote:

What's left on his contract?
Its unreal actually, the amount of times that he has tried to leave, or was looking else where, or wasn't happy with his budget .... and he is still there and not getting grief. Fair play if he is getting away with it.
or SligosQuote:

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.
I know but with a username like askmehoop what do you expectQuote:

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.Quote:

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

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?Quote:

Cook came to Sligo having been given the boot previously, so life is often lottery.
Does he have a preseason programme he is working on? Shouldn't he be working on that?Quote:

What? That Leeds thing's not a joke? Is he taking the proverbial? What's going on there? Is he being pushed out? :confused::confused::confused:Quote:

He's committed to Sligo because his future success is contingent upon the side doing well.
Roll on the new ASAP.
Going...going...GONE.
Will be interesting to see what get out clauses the bould scouser inserted into some of Sligo's new signing's contracts, that's if they have signed contracts at all....
Hopefully it's just one contract per player, oh wait, wrong club. It's contract plus cash for Sligo players :-) Seriously, this doesn't augur well for the club this season. Especially getting a new man in. Apart from Foster who's in the hunt?
Any idea who our new boss will be?Quote:
