| I wonder if he will mention training with Bransholme .
Pete stated he was :
James Rules in shock revelation about Paul Cooke!!!!!
By heck that had me worried a bit when I saw it, although deep down, (having repeated the fact here at least a dozen times over the months) I knew that the unthinkable would never happen, but when you see it in print, you just can’t open the internet page quickly enough, as the hairs on the back of your neck start to stand up!
Personally, I never thought that our Chief Executive would come out with it, because when I tried to raise the subject with him a few weeks ago he became a bit agitated to say the least and refused point blank to comment, saying he was fed up of denying it. The fact is the mischief makers, and who knows that may even include Judas himself, have been spreading the poison in an attempt to not only wind us lot up, but to also destabilise our club. I have as a fan of the FC, no sympathy for the man whatsoever. Never forget how you felt when he tried to make fools of us all, never forget that ego, that press conference, that radio jamboree and particularly that smug smirk after he kicked that goal at the KC. I won’t I’m afraid.
I like to think that now I’m getting on a bit I have a modicum of humanity, but sadly for me it’s very much a case of how are the mighty fallen, and I say that I have little sympathy for Cooke, because quite frankly when he left us high and dry half way through the season, he had little sympathy for me!!!
The fact is that the club have been receiving two or three enquiries a day from concerned fans saying that the word is on the street that he is to return. Some had in fact threatened to not get their season passes simply because of these rumours. I know he will never come back, although I still maintain that not everyone at the club has always been as dismissive as Ruley on him returning, but now we have a final and official line of the club, and boy do I agree with it! Well done to James Rule I say, and let that be an end to it.
I am fed up of people coming up to me at the Gym, in the pub and in Morrison’s telling me that I had better get used to the fact that he was on his way back, because they had heard from his family, (or whoever) he had signed a contract etc!!! You know what it’s like because we all know that unfortunately one day one of these rumours that fly round about our club, will be true. So you do wonder a bit don’t you? Now thank goodness the head of our administration has made it crystal clear what the clubs stance is on the subject, and it’s worth repeating too.
‘Paul Cooke has no future at Hull FC, has not signed a contract nor will he ever be offered one at this club’ I think that’s pretty final don’t you?
I hope that the folks who advised him and encouraged him to chase the golden goose, and those who manipulated the situation in the Media, are happy now! To me it looks very much like his career is wrecked, and it’s hard to have a lot of sympathy. It was the best news of the week for this fan who will always support anyone who pulls on the famous black and white, but who will never suffer or tolerate anyone that purposely publically ridicules his club. So York are after him now....... wow! How are the mighty fallen eh! You’ve made your bed Cookie and now you will have to lay in it! He’s reported to be training with Bransholme; I don’t know whether that is true or not, but if he is no doubt it will have been his ‘Childhood ambition’ to play for them.

Let me know when you've read it and which charity shop. I can spare a pound or two for charity.

Thanks for that. Well done on claiming the internet forum moral high ground.
I have my reasons for not wanting to give Cooke a penny of my hard earned, and I won't criticise others for wanting to buy it - it's their choice and parts of it will be interesting.
Also, the Shaun Briscoe situation was completely different.

Its a opinion forum and that's my opinion of the reaction to some on here.Was it....he was offers a contract,his agent said not enough as he will be a international and hawked him round,no offers came and ours had been withdrawn so he wasn't a for demanding more money...sounds familiar to me

I think the reaction on here has been pretty muted to be fair, there's worse written on the front cover of his book.
It sounds familiar because that happens all the time. Player wants £x, clubs offers £y, player turns down thinking he's worth £x and ends up going elsewhere. It happened with Tom Briscoe too.
But, that is not what happened with Cooke.

| As an insight on an intriguing if upsetting period of Hull FC's recent history, from the man at the centre of it all, I will have to give it a read.
Of course its still just one persons version, and brutally honest Cookie will have a certain slant on what went on, nevertheless I'll pay my money and I'll take my choice.
Once read, mine will be donated to Age UK in Anlaby. There you are, I can't be fairer than that. lol

Well good for you!!!! So does that make you pathetic then for buying it!!!
People have their own resons for buying or not buying me quite simply I don't wish too as no interest in what he says with regards his life. Obviously you know each one personally to be be able throw out your 'Utterly Pathetic' comment for posters who aint buying it.
So give it a rest you sanctimonious pratt

Odd quote/comment to make. Full of it like you've discovered a dirty little secret, despite several posters (including myself) already stating they're interest in what he says. There'll be a summary on here the day after it's release.
Even the post you quoted says "when you a have all read it enlighten us all on here".
