Won their player of the year award this year. What a career he’s had.

True CFC Legend if he plays in the Premier. It will be interesting to read if Cook gets some credit if they make it.

Get it on, bang the gong , get it on

Brilliant player - one of my all-time favourites. As I posted a while ago, it's going to be a few more years before he drops down to our level.

On the flip-side, what a player Vale let slip through their hands...

Such a disgrace that Allen and his wicked assistant failed to back Cook and disbanded a team that Morsy would have thrived in the Championship 🤬

Management Accepts New Ideas And Criticism...When Im Managaging think MANIAC!!

It's a long time ago and I might be wrong but I thought the fallout happened because Allen's fellow directors refused to back his plan to invest to back Cook, which urined him off.

Didn’t Allen have a meltdown about the attendances? To be honest the writing was on the wall when Doyle was sold and the non signing of Johnson even though he wanted to join us permanently 😡

The time line is crucial. Did the fallout happen before players were sold/not bought?
