The big question is - if he is prepared to have a go at getting match fit at Featherstone - a place with fantastic opportunities to hone your fitness (his words) then why not try and get us round the bloody park when we were stuggling for a 6. Something not right here and please do not pretend owt else. I have defended him the club, uncle tom cobbly and all but this takes the garibaldi for me. Proper angry and feel as if we have all got a wet back.

PS (almost forgot) Belated good luck to Mr Thornton (not my personal choice but that dun't count) and welcome back PG (him and Tony Miller in my top number 11 shirt players for the Dons)

I have to agree - Leaves a bad taste. There would appear to be a lack of honesty somewhere in all of this (although I don't know exactly where).

It does mate, and there can only be a few who know the proper tale behind this episode. ( I don't want to know) but any trust in the way this Club is being run, and the game in General is going down the pan. How the hell can we seriously believe what we are being told.

Roll up roll up pay your money, get your free pair of Donkey ears.

Gross mismanagement of the club by Messrs' Baldwin Hall & Scarrow

Cooke signs for Fev as a player........ Cant believe it, and he couldnt put a shirt on for us when our team was under pressure this season. www.featherstonerovers.net/article.php?id=13678

Staggering!

What are the odds on him running the show on 19th June?

Can't make my mind up as to whether he's done the dirty on us or whether he knows what's really going on behind the scenes at the Keepmoat and it's not a pretty picture.

As has been mentioned before, coaching elsewhere is one thing but playing again after our season so far is really taking the wee wee.

Got to get behind the Thornton / Green combination now and put this latest in a long line of debacles behind us.

The word 'loyalty' is now purely reserved for us long-suffering fans only.

Lets all chip in a fiver and see if we can persuade groaty to put a hit on him! lol

I am not amused.
Of couse he has to make a living with a family to support and yes he WAS class, but the Dons needed him on the park in their darkest hour and he let us down claiming he could no longer do it justice and had retired.
When what he meant was he couldn't be d when there was a pie to munch or a pint to down.
Well unless he puts that pint pot down he will be no good to Fev either.
Anyway he gave us some good times and thanks for that.

Wont be making fev debut or unavailable till after donny game on 19th June by all accounts

Partly due to lack of fitness, but in my opinion partly to respect Donny - after all you probably saved his life as well as his career

Does Cooke has any income coming in now he has left Donny?

If not you can't blame him for starting to play again to get paid, I'm sure all on here would do the same.

Totally agree. If PC hadn't have come to the Dons we would not have achieved what we did. Heard on grape he is playing the season out with view to assistant coach next year, who could blame him. Fev have vision and will spend to achieve it. For all players and coaching staff it's a business....just like anybody else who changes jobs to suit their life/ lifestyle.
Thanks Paul, some memorable moments that will remain for a long time.
