Southport are going fantaticly under Watson and obviously Cook would be the 'fans' choice. Plus he could maybe tap into some sources in Ireland as well as over here.

nb to Cashy !!....

Here's a novelty for you Cashy..a newcomer to our forum who has the temerity to inject a 'serious' note into his posting !... (rather than speaking with the jawbone of an ass ..as many junior members are prone to do !!)...so take it easy on him for a week or two !!.

So young man ( or indeed young lady !).... welcome to THE Forum...and keep on seeing things from the serious perspective !!.

Oh I forgot !!... every success to the new Management Team ...and as John.F.Kennedy said.. .(on a serious note !)

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."

Here's to a bright future for everyone at 'The Crown'.

and you can leave Sammy Mac out of it as well I reckon! I personally don't think he acheived a great deal at Morecambe. He was manager when they got promoted but I think a lot of that was under Jim Harveys steam. Their FL years saw a play off spot secured one year but for the majority of his tenure their messageboard was constantly littered with Sammy out threads as he was signing journeymen players on big wages and playing crap football.

He'd be expensive and probably a big 'maintenance' as he always seems to be on the telly and linked with every job going which would mean constantly having to improve his contract. Its hardly a secret as well that Morecambe directors had backed him fairly heavily with regards to wages paid etc

Apart from one or two looks like a standard stock list whenever a manager vacancy is available :)

They've brought in an assistant manager who the board have made no secret of there fondness towards him ( Ian Foster, another scouser I think? ) and are many here in Sligo are touting him to take over from Cook. It would suggest his departure is imminent.

The board also allowed Paul to hold talks with a league rival ( Derry City ) a couple of weeks ago. A move which would have been a step sideways at most, as Sligo finished ahead of Derry last season. The only thing that made the move an ounce of sense was that there is direct flights from Derry to Liverpool. I think Cook's family still live in Liverpool..

He was all set to take the St. Johnstone job in Scotland, compensation agreed too, except he wasn't allowed bring his back room team with him and was told he had to lower the budget. Wasn't happy with that criteria so he pulled out.

Shamrock Rovers also here in Ireland were reportedly after him when Michael O'Neill left to take the Northern Ireland job, but nothing materialised there either.

The fact is, 3 jobs have come up in the past 6 months or so, and he has been firmly in contention for them all. The fact the Sligo board willingly allow him to hold talks with other league rivals, suggest they aren't exactly over the moon with him.

Thanks for the information, Rover1929 :)

There have been plenty of people at Stanley following the fortunes of Sligo Rovers and wishing you success with all the Stanley connections: not just Paul Cook, but there were about 5 ex-Stanley players in the Sligo side 3-4 years ago.

It's not easy to see your manager being linked to other clubs when he has been so successful for you, but what is your opinion of Paul Cook as a manager?

You have had a lot of success over the last 2/3 seasons, but is that down to the manager or have the Board backed him with money to make the team more competitive? Also, how does he like his team to play?

Re: The King is gone = new management, who?
 
Whalley Red,

I think he's the best manager in the league now that Michael O'Neill and even Pat Fenlon have left. We play some great football, and regulary knock teams for six at The Showgrounds, but playing nice football isn't always as effective as the league champions Shamrock Rovers who play more direct and it pays off to be fair. The board have made the funds available for any players Paul wants to bring in. You have to understand a lot of players who sign for clubs in Ireland are free agents, so wages is only an issue.

The departure of Richie Ryan to Dundee Utd freed up a lot of wages to bring in a couple of more, that coupled together with our European money, helped us deliver a 60k profit. No doubt some of that will go to improving the squad. We scored the most and conceded the least in the league last year, but losing Ryan and the leagues top scorer Eoin Doyle to Hibernian leaves a gap, but we've only lost those two and two more I think, so retainly the bulk of last years squad and adding a couple of better quality players will help us make the push for the league.

Cook has the players playing a very fluid style, the full backs overlap the wingers, and are like wing backs at times. The attacking style does leave us open to the counter attack on occasions, but games involving Sligo Rovers rarely end goal less.

Cook has his own philosophy, and I think he'd work well with Accrington Stanley. He's publicly stated he wants to manage in the UK in the near future, can't see a more fitting opportunitly to be honest.

No thanks. Nor Paul Ince.

Paul Cook - Bryan Hughes and Leam Richardson - Unsworth and Alexander (sounds like a firm of Solicitors) ............. etc. We don't want most of the people on the "Usual suspects (failed)" list, although I have an amount of repect for Geraint Williams ...............

From RTE Sport
"Sligo Rovers manager Paul Cook has been linked with a move to English League Two club Accrington Stanley.
There is a vacancy at the Liverpool club after John Coleman left to join Rochdale yesterday."

Unsworth struck me as management material in the latter stages of his career with Sheffield United and Wigan.

Re: The King is gone = new management, who?
 
Stan Ternent would probably do a decent job for a club like us. Currently working as a scout for Sunderland so a) probably fairly cheap and b) would have a good idea who is around for the right money.

Just looked at the betting list. Please, please not Steve Tilson. He did a dreadful job at Lincoln City. Bought overpriced, useless players and was hated by the fans.
