Snake

Sense I reckon.

Portsmouth have the infrastructure to go up to the Premier League.

Chesterfield do not.

I don't get the hate for Cook - if he was an player who went on to better things we'd be wishing him well.
 
According to the BBC the deal is done, with Leam possibly taking over at Chesterfield! They will both be back in league 2 before long then.
 
Must admit I have always liked the way his teams play the game.
He's obviously mapped a route to get as far as he can up the managerial ladder as possible and have no problem with that.
I heard months ago that he would be the Wigan manager within two years (and that was before relegation !! ).
So Portsmouth will just be another stepping stone for me :)
 
Has Leam been got shut of? aint seen nowt to say hes joined snake? n was the reason he went Chesterfield to have less travel?
 
Local radio down here has Pompey chairman saying Cook will be able to bring in the people he wants .... Leam was mentioned but nothing definite.

Also apparently Cook already knows which players he wants to keep, so looks like there must have been earlier contacts between him and the club, bit distracting when you might expect he'd have been focused on Chesterfield's playoff efforts ......

Sounds a familiar tale - not unusual for Cooky to have one eye on his next move whilst seeming to be still interested in the club who's paying his wages :rolleyes:

Which makes the nickname "Snake" very apt. Mind yeh it could well apply to certain members of our board also.

Familiar indeed. I'll never forget that match at Oxford when, having played crap against Torquay, Stanley were even worse, and rightly got humiliated by Oxford. What sticks in the mind was that we sat behind a group of giggling scousers, some in youth squad gear, who seemed to find the whole business hilarious. Turned out they were related to the then manager. Next day Cook b#**#*# off to Chesterfield.
But Pompey fans are not daft. If they aren't top by Xmess, they'll be wanting to know why.

Chesterfield turned down Portsmouth approach in April, I really don't think anyone beleives that nobody has spoken to anybody in that time :)

I won't forget that trip to Oxford in a hurry. Quite simply the worst Stanley performance I've ever seen. We should have lost 10-0 that day, but if my memory is correct it was during Mr Dunbavin's golden spell.
