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.

Cook has always worked within budgets but has challenged the board to increase these budgets. This has been done sufficiently to provide a quality squad, but a very small one as we don't have the money Shams have. The club is in the black and Cook gets the very best from what he has.
As for wanting to manage Shams - he's had better offers.
He may or may not be the man for Stanley, hopefully not, but if you decide to take a chance on him and the football is anything like we've been watching for the last few seasons, then you're in for a treat - with or without trophies.
In any case, best of luck with the appointment, whoever it might be.
