Are you saying Cook returned to Stanley expecting the club to match his 'ambition', but somehow it failed to do so? Or did he return simply to get back to England (don't forget, they've driven all the snakes out of Ireland before) and, at the first opportunity, ditched this club for more money. Don't mistake that for 'ambition', Davo, it's a very common practice amongst bankers and such like but usually goes by another name.

Paul Cook got the opportunity to manage a club in Chesterfield who had a bigger crowds, a good ground and training facilities, probably a good budget for league 2 level, A better squad and lots of ambition to get back into league 1.
I don't see how anyone could have expected him to stay?
So Cook left us to be the manager of Chesterfield.
Your beloved Leam Richardson left us for the ambition to be assistant manager!
If that's not a worse reason to leave Stanley, I don't know what is.
And some of you call Cook the snake and refer to Leam as if he was your boyfriend. I don't get it.
