MANCHESTER CITY - GARY COOK

Big cheese is recruited from Nike. Used to dealing with high profile superstar basketball players. Joins Manchester City to assist that process in the football world. One would expect big cheese to understand PR. Seems not. Did nothing wrong in recruiting a new manager behind the existing ones back. Every club has done that. Even the way it was done has been done before (remember Jol and Ramos at Spurs) No Mr Cooke gets the amateur award for the briefings, the press conference, the banning of the media. That shows a man who cannot control a situation, who doesn't understand football, doesn't understand what he let himself in for and as such his club. We fans want our clubs to act honourably in their dealings or if that is not possible, brushed under the carpet. Cook can't do either..
