Welcome Home Cooky
 

:alright:

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Any ideas anybody???

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

According to that Lancashire Morning Telegraph rag,it is imminent with Leam as assistant.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

:confused:Confused??
If there is any truth in this (& there is no comment from the club in the article, just that Gordon Armstrong has said Stanley have now agreed terms with Paul Cook) it's completely the opposite of what was said in the club's statement on Friday - what happened to giving Leam a 'fair crack of the whip'??

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

That would be about right, with talks having "broken down" three days ago or thereabouts

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Well some reckon everything that rag says is Gospel, Unless johnc has other information? Have yeh?

Twitter

Alan Nixon, bit of a [word edited] to say the least, but gets most things right

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Betting suspended on SkyBet - looking promising.

Judas's mouthpiece, can't stand the bloke but he has been known to get it right

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Theres n update on Sligo Rovers site at 13-28 today which contradicts that twitter.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

I would take no notice of that timeline, go back page after page on the news and they all state the same date and time, News

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Its on fishy site now :)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Welcome back Cookie as f/t new manager ..... they best ensure bar is stocked up ;)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Welcome Home Paul :)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Whats the odds on Rommy coming back with Cooky?

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Possible depends on rommys contract - be great i'll get to bump into him at asda again - lovely lad:D

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Theres a surprise. hope you all got a good price two weeks ago.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Well, can only wish him all the best. Could be a good thing fer Leam, would hope so.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

If that happens then I'm going to Valley Parade instead.

Good appointment. Just the kind of up-and-coming manager we needed.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

I'm very pleased indeed with the news.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Welcome back Cooky lad !!!

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Does that make Leam the only Stanley manager with a 100% record?

:do-one:

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Will be IF we beat the Millers tomorrow :)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

yeah will also reiterate welcome home cooky and really pleased to hear that leam is being kept on as assistant manager which will give him a great opportunity for the future but also want to say thanks to Leam, Brian and Phil for holding things together.

three cheers for HRH hip hip..........

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Thats great news for Stanley and their vans, at least Cook knows the club and how its run, best of luck

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

I know for sure my van is very happy about the news ;)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

My cars well chuffed too as am I. Good luck to Cooky and Leam a great duo and a brilliant fit for Stanley:)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

:) Welcome home Cooky :) made up about Leam too :)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

With all the information available this seems a perfect appointment. Paul has since leaving us gained managerial experience and learned his trade, while Leam is showing the makings of a top coach (respect from the players, employing good training methods).

Well done to the board and welcome back Paul.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Nice video featuring PC and Rommy and showing Sligo's success.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

I agree wi ai that except the first part of the last sentence shaker, i find it sad that the fans were told porkies once again by R.H. I honestly hoped we had seen the back of that sort of thing.:(

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Great vid Alvin! So alike to coley and the club of sligo is too to accy! Likes to find gems which is actually what we need!

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

playing devils advocate cashy, it could well be that stanley only ever wanted cooky and thought they were getting nowhere with sligo so therefore felt they didn't want to rush into any other decisions only to find that sligo were swayed possibly by cooky himself!

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Maybe,but thats only acceptable to me if HRH, were kept in the loop?:confused:

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

A premature press release at worst... I really don't think there were any 'porkies'.

To me it looks like our board have made an efficient and thorough job with this appointment from start to finish. The proof will be in the pudding but getting Cook and Richardson together could be a masterstroke. I don't think an ill-advised press release changes that to be honest!

Ilyas praised Rob for his work on the radio this evening and also said that Leam had always been kept in the loop. I trust him more than anyone at the club.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

see post 35 shaker.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

See my updated post cashy :)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Ah cheers shaker, A happy bunny, once again.:)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Paul and Leam, two very popular men with Stanley fans. Very happy to have you at the helm lads and wish you both every success as your partnership gels. Normally you'd have to worry by losing long time skipper and management team but the transition seems perfectly natural and seamless. Excited about the future.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

I don't know,but my first thought was similar to cashys.We will never know if acci were forcing the issue,but IMO cook would probably want his own back room staff,were acci wanted to retain leam.
If that's true,then fair play to the club,they got there man under there terms.
Is it me or is cook a mini me of coley!!!, he comes across very well,plus he played for Wigan so he must be class !!!!,wish him all the best

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

All i know now football19, whatever the case was, the outcome fer me is a good un.;)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

If Cooky can achieve anything like what he has achieved with the Bit o' Red we should be looking forward to the good times continuing down at the Crown Ground, great to see Leam as his number two.

Good Luck fellas:alright:

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Agree cashy,so the club deserves a bit of credit,and would presume with less staff,have saved a few bob.Good news all around IMHO

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

All the best let's get up in league one and past rochdale on way down

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

yep, I'd settle for the FA Cup :)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Yer easy pleased Rob.:D;)

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Goin' Up With Leam and Paul certainly doesn't work t'other way round ....So happy after losing our .....dare I say it Gods.....The new Stanley marches on!

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

sorry what i meant to say was' Leam and Paul are taking us up'.....doofus

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

You certainly are a popular pick with the faithful. Good luck Paul.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Liked the prospectus he gave us in his interview and his mission to find regional talent and give it the platform to play as did John and Jimmy.

Re: Welcome Home Cooky
 

Well considering I have just got backfrom a sunny and warm spanish costa del sol, I have to say, I caught the announcement of Cooky's appointment on sky text. It suprised me at first but after reading stories in the loca rags and seeing other comments, I believe it is a sound appointment. Good luck to the pair of them and as others have said, Stanley to rise up to League One and Rochdale to replace us in League Two. Oh we can have dreams but not beyond the realms of possibility.
