  1. In Topic: Paul Cooks Crunch Moment

    I love paul cook. He?s every I want in a manager. Arguably the best manager we have ever had.

    When is the crunch point. I want him here forever but inevitably that won?t be the case. What is the most like scenario for an exit. Some scenarios;

    Offers from other clubs (most likely?)
    End of current contract
    Poor form of team
    Lack of funds at the crunch moment

    Together with Phil and Ashley Kirk, Paul Cook is integral to our future success and how we hold his interest in the long term is something that I have frequently pondered but it's a subject I'm not too worried about.

    PC has been quite open about his time at Ipswich, losing his father and the impact that had on him. I'd like to think that him coming back here has helped to put a smile on his face and I feel he does place a value on that.

    For me, it's not about what other clubs do, it's about what we do. To answer your original question, PC is a leader and he knows exactly how to deliver success and that unity is paramount to achieving that so when the board and/or fans are no longer on the same page as him, that's when the crunch moment is most likely.

    Thanks both. It's feels like the right time after the promotion and I was surprised a lockdown project got this far! To talk to over 80 players and managers has been great and really changed my appreciation of the sport. Being independent from the club hopefully gave the players to open up a bit more about their experiences and thanks for everyones support over the years. I'm thinking of working on some new things so will be back with something different after a bit of a refresh.

    They've been a credit to you and your guests, Dave.

    Thank you for your efforts over the last few years, I'll miss listening to them.

    Be interesting if matchwinner have anything to say on this with matchwinner on the shirt bearing in mind they?ve started up again doing licensed stuff in a deal with the club.

    Not to mention the club and Vertu Motors who purchased Gordon Lamb!

  4. In Topic: General Election It Is Then...

    You think this is, at face value a good idea? Blimey

    As an idea, it's laughable that it's been rolled out at the eleventh hour as part of a general election campaign.

    However, if it were to form part of a rejigged education syllabus with the specific aim of equipping young people with life skills and hopefully preventing them from going down a route that so many do, I'm not convinced it is a bad idea. It might not be a significant problem in your neighbourhood or mine, but in some areas home life and the education system is failing them. Teachers know it's a problem, so do youth workers, employers, the police and the probation service.

    I think we're a long way from having a political party with the appetite to tackle the education system, employment, crime, and many other issues which are more than evident in society.

    Given we have 3 CB's, 1 RB & 1 LB signed up, you would expect we'd have one signing in each position without considering outgoings.

    With the squad size limitations we may see signings who can play a couple positions but I'd hope at a minimum we bring in 2 strong CB's. Notts looked better at the back than us last season and they've been found out pretty easily in League 2.

    Found out, they finished 14th and only Stockport and Mansfield scored more goals than them. Some might consider that a success given it was their first season back in division two!
