Of course your right, sure Paul Cook is a much more experienced and proven manager than Trappatoni.Quote:

Do Sligo fans really think Cook is going to leave? Where will he go?
I'd let him go, there is some quality managers around who would jump at a 9grand a week budget and do very well this season.
Take Paul Hegarty, he will make ye a Professional club.
what about the coleman money?
Wouldn't even cover the phone bill for calling England...Quote:

You'll have to ask our management committee, they're the ones with the great ideas.Quote:

F**k all involved.
Seems to be spot on. 2 weeks later, he comes back. Nowhere near the amount of money raised that Sligo said needed to be raisedQuote:

Delighted Cook is back but just...hmmm.
To be fair, I think very few Rovers fans believed Cook was definitely gone. It was some scheme thought up in order to boost the account for the start of the season. I'm not happy with it but I do believe Cook is the right man in charge for this season so I'm glad he's back.Quote:

Yeah, I should have said Sligo's board rather than imply it was Sligo fans.
As i've said adngerous game to play so soon after the last "plea"
Makes a joke of the FAI , they cut our budget so we would not be crying wolf so we cried wolf for a bigger budget which we have got from the FAI along with funds raised from the fans , reduction in player wages and most importantly Cook back in charge with a few new players coming in which isn't bad considering the alternative would of been a smaller budger small squad and a one way ticket back to the first division with a big financial crisis circa August. Cook cited his reasons for leaving and we tried to do something about it albeit 4 months too late the fundraising for this season should of started as soon in November all we had from the club was a plea to buy season tickets whcih is not good enough proper findraising comitee badly needed.Quote:

It is if you cant raise enough income to pay them.Quote:

Your budget isn't based on what you need, its based on what you can raise.Quote:
