Just a quick one : don't salaries affect P & L ? Plummer was on £80k and just wonder what all other directors took inc Kath ?

Cooke is an interesting figure, arguably the most important player in the city over the last decade; a pivotal player in winning the cup and ensuring Rovers survival, then add in the hugely controversial transfer, criminal conviction, being effectively sacked by Rovers. He's full of himself, still. We've never really got to the bottom of the transfer. I'm interested to hear his side, particularly now Rule and Kath are so discredited. Doesn't mean I like him or believe him, but I do find him interesting.

id rather not hear anything he has to say. even if it was all rule and kaths fault....

Spot on

We all know that the old regime screwed up big time on more than one occasion, including the whole Cooke fiasco. However the fact remains that Cooke could have instigated a move over the close season. Sure he may have been p****d at the board, but this would have been the decent way to do things, instead he decided to walk out on his team mates and the fans mid-way through a season in a blatant attempt to well and truely screw us over.

He is currently jumping on Pearson's "Kath bashing" wagon in yet another attempt at trying to get himself a little piece of the limelight.

His nice little line about the fact that he "promised his Mum" is an attempt to play on people's emotions and one that I don't buy as it is just another example of how low he will stoop to try and make himself out to be the victim.

The guy is lower than a snakes nipple end, and nothing he can say will ever change that.

Surely this deserves another 'Cooke' thread?

This concerns you because?

it seems who said the tip of the iceberg last week was right

Rule and all of em should have been hung

Mrs B, Mr Allam's million quid was a GIFT to Rovers, not a loan.
