Thanks for everything Cookie
What the hell was with the official Sligo statement over the weekend...
Did they have a clue what was going on?!Quote:
Sligo Rovers wish to announce that Paul Cook is expected to return to Sligo this weekend after talks between Paul and Accrington Stanley concluded unsuccesfully.
We would like to thank Accrington’s Peter Marsden for his professionalism and courtesy in the negotiations with Sligo Rovers and we wish them the very best for the future.
We would also like to thank our supporters for their patience this week regarding this issue and look forward to a return to focus on our pre-season preparations.
Best of luck to Cooke.
I see Sligo got 2 friendlies with Accrington in as part of the deal. No wonder they let him go, those will be worth an absolute mint!
Gerry Carr to take over?
Rico perhaps? He'd fit in with the style of play anyway.
Who's in charge tonight for the game against the Limerick Globetrotters??
Maurice Monaghan and Gerry Carr.Quote:

It really does make all those posts from Sligo fans in the past few days pretty damn funny now.
Granted, it's a move home, but it still seems baffling - how are the League Two play-offs a step up from a potential national title?
Any word what compensation money we'll get now that the Cook is-he isn't he saga over.
I reckon it would have to be at least €35k.
20 major.Quote:

Let's hope there is another hungry would-be manager out there, in the Cook model, aspirational and motivated, preferably not Irish, as he would inevitably angle for a Dublin team, as in the Sean Connor model:).
Roddy Collins and Ricco have no chance. As for Willie McStay, I'm afraid - if like the last time he was here, family considerations would bring him away, so I wouldn't be up for it.
Talk of an ex-Championship manager coming to Showgrounds.
Mick McCarthy?
Rico wouldn't touch the Sligo job, he's too good for it.Quote:

Too good for it??Team that finished 2nd last year and won the cup and the nucleus of a very good side already signed??Only shams are a more attractive proposition for a potenial manager in this country and i dont see them loooking for a manager soon. Personally i wouldnt mind him but reckon with our history of managerial recruitments we will probably look outside the country.Quote:

Damien Richardson is the only manager in the history of football who got the sack because he wouldnt spend the money the board wanted him to. He was right as well
a great man
Thanks El-P, if I remember from an interview with him at the time, he called out Arkaga for their carry on and warned that they weren't all they were cracked up to be. I wonder would he take the Sligo job, he'd be a good fit, though he probably would prefer to be outside of Ireland.Quote:

He was snubbed by Dundalk, so he can't move back east, what are the odds he'll be up at Harps soon? :-)
Now that king cig (?) has gone back to his spouse abode,can we presume to see a few of sligs new signings do a "turner" and leave for pastures new?
To be honest I don't think he'll want to get back into football management, and if he did hed probably be looking for something in Dublin. Any club that does get him is a very lucky one, he'll get your team playing football. Though hes not the best at organising a side, he kinda just lets the team play.Quote:

I'd love if they signed Roddy!
There's absolutely no chance of Roddy, his name seems to come up at any job going. Ridiculous.
That is strange as the word coming out of Monaghan is that the deal is almost done. The sticking point appears to be that Roddy wants to train close to his gaff in Dubland and sign some more Dublin based players. Sligo are not sure they'll be able to move on players that this doesn't suit. What is the word coming out of Sligo?Quote:

passerrby, too much circulating for it to be total codswallop. Roddy tried it on with Cork last year, he did the same with Dundalk, he was hoping he'd be named with Bohs and Rovers, but Sligo, it's a club waiting to be wrecked. I don't believe Sligo would be so dumb as to bring him in. Chances are they'll stick with one of their own.
Well if it means we end up signing a better player in their positions, just like with Turner, I'm all for it.Quote:
