O'Neill is one of his best mates, and he was doing him a favour. That's it.Quote:

Why would he Derry are cutting there spending and he is putting together a very strong team at Sligo from the looks of it....
Would make no sense bull id say.
Philip O'Doherty confirmed our budget was 3rd behind Rovers and Sligo, but if we get into Europe as hoped, the funds from that would take our budget above Sligo's, so there could be the reason ;)Quote:

I don't know, lads. I'd be a bit worried there might be something in this. After all, Cook did say before that one thing that could get him to leave Rovers would be a move back to the UK. :D
OK pal, you know better.;)Quote:

Our chairman and no-one said he did, was told by the FAI ;)Quote:

Therefore, I'm sure the committee and Cookie are on good terms, but as a complete knee-jerk response is it fair to say 'bye, bye'?
We can hold onto the star signings players we have this season, bring in a decent prospect manager with a view to building team over the next few seasons?
We are in a great position to win the league but this feels like being told by your bird enjoy this last time cus I'm f##king off to go out with your best mate:confused:
He is good, he was great, however like us all he has flaws, and many of our stars were there since Sean Connor, and he now realises that he should have stayed in Sligo for another season or two.
Is there another manager in the league who can keep up Cooke's world class tiki-taka football?
Any FAI U-12 coach, were play from the backs onwards is advocated:secret:Quote:

Nothing to see here (until the next job offer turns up).
This is surely his last season all the same. All indications are that he wants out. Would have gone to Scotland if he could have agreed terms and why is he even talking to Derry if had any interest in staying with us
Thats it. I'm a massive fan of everything he has done and where he has brought the club - but in the year when we are putting a massive tilt in for league, this is just ridiculous.Quote:

As he's under contract this is difficult for committee, however, why go for a job if you can't take it up even if offered?
Best thing if he just went to Derry if they want him.
When he was looking at St Johns club there were a few saying hope he goes and we get compo. Now having brought in more players he decides he wants leave and move in next door!
Anyways, Happy New Year one and all.
All is apparent. Derry tried to intice St Paul, but first they contact Sligo. Fair enough he listened, graciously declined stating 'thanks, but no thanks'. I take it that he never applied for Shams or Derry post -- particularly considered he has put together a cracking squad -- unless he wants to sell himself as some sort of peace envoy when back in England, why bother going to Derry!
Typical crafty Ulster-men, they'd love it if they could bring in Cook after the reputation he's developed along with bringing in a few Bit-a-Red boys. Hands off, lads, audacious so-and-sos. What kind of compo money were these fools prepared to pay? No wonder they went belly up recently!
Also, RTE run with some crap -- then again, I suppose it is the Crimbo-season, sore heads, red noses and slow story days.
Cooky, you've given us drama on and off the pitch. Legendary status entacted.
As I stated earlier, its Blighty or Bust for the Birkenhead lad. Roll on League championship 2012.
I know it's New years day Shelly, but lay off with the oul St.Paul shoite there PLLLEEEASSSEEE !!!!
*PUKE*
So you went from pretty much wanting him beheaded to being made free man of Sligo in the space of a few hours all based on what you read on the internet (the same club website you have rubbished consistently)?Quote:

However, re consistency I refer to the great Byron who stated he had no consistency whatever except to politics and that was because of his indifference to it.
Re the website, jeez lads, try and stay ahead of an important evolving story, what a bunch of amateurs!
PS I didn't want him beheaded, all I said is if he wanted to go then let him.
Now that matters have been clarified I personally am looking to the season.
Re St Paul, if Boaz can declare in Rod we Trust, then I'm happy to see that Cooky's road to Damascus conversion is now complete.
And which jobs has he applied for ...Quote:

Wee rumour on our forum Jim Magilton is getting/got the job?
Believe what you want. As I said, you are ridiculously naive when it comes to your pal Cookie and his allegiance to Sligo Rovers.Quote:
