As for his commitment, the day after our manager departed Cook was the first person to enquire for the job. He basically prostituted himself for the job and we said a simple no for the kind of person he is and the arrogance he showed towards us in the league when things weren't going well on his end.
He is best to avoid. Sligo fans think they can match our budget with half the gate income, sponsorship, everything really. He will stretch your budget completely and you will find yourself in trouble when things are not going well.

Paul Cook has been at Sligo for 4 and a half years. His loyalty to the Club has been tremendous. As far as paying players under the table this has been proved to be untrue and Shamrock Rovers fans just cannot let it go that the best manager in the country was not interested in "A BIG CLUB'S" (ha ha) advances. Paul Cook is not a cheque book manager. He has accepted cut backs on several occasions and got on with his job. The board at Sligo have made prudent decisions in conjunction with Cookie. They have not been forced into doing anything. Ease up Shamrock Rovers. Time to get rid of your bitterness and realise there are Clubs outside Tallaght who can win trophies.
