Garry Cook

Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Garry Cook

Postby 10.Goater_Legend » Fri Jan 22, 2010 12:41 pm

Manchester City executive chairman Garry Cook has insisted that the club are going to be the 'biggest' in the world.

City have made little secret of their intentions, following Sheikh Mansour's takeover of the club.

The club broke the British transfer record soon after Mansour took charge in 2008, and have since gone on to spend more than £120million in new players alone.

Cook was addressing a fans' forum in New York, and he told a buoyant crowd that he had little doubts the club would become the world's best.

"This football club is, without doubt, going to be the biggest and best football club in the world," Cook said.

"I will make no excuses for saying it, as I truly believe it - with the resources and capabilities we have."

He's like our Dave Whelan...."Roberto Martinez is the best manager in football" after their 2-0 win at Villa on the opening day...

Rags....Lost 5-1
Blackpool...lost 4-1
Arsenal....Lost 4-0
Porstmouth...Lost 4-0
Spurs...lost 9-1

Talk about give a dog a bad name...
He goes abraod and shouts to the World about our ambitions. He talks us up and some of you cringe.

Would you rather he said nothing and we were quietly ignored? Or would you wish him to say that we might avoid relegation?

GOOD ON YER GARRY LAD...YOU KEEP SHOUTING HOW GOOD MY CLUB IS TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN.

i agree. i dunno what it would take to satisfy some people wrt "Uncle Gazza" but i think he's ok. prone to a gaff, seemingly out of his league. City legend in the making.

cheers

That's the joys of mad uncle Gazza mate- I don't want him to open his mouth, but everytime he does it creates a stir and he's fast becoming the Kevin Keegan of Chief Execs, which isn't neccessarily a bad thing at all!

Good on ya uncle Gazza, your heart's in the right place.... I just hope it doesn't bite you in the ass come Wed night!!

On a couple of occasions, GC has made gaffs and the World jumps on him.
For the rest of the time, he works quietly and unseen on the club's behalf. Nobody poffers any credit for that side of things.

You complain about the media sensationalising and vilifying things around the club, yet you do the self same thing yourselves.

Just to add... my brother was at this event last night and he said he went to pay for his pint when the barman goes "your friend Gary is looking after that". Thats pretty good in my book.

I don't think he has said anything out-of-order by talking us up the way.
