So since Luton sacked him, how many on here would swap Cook for Jones?

That's a very good point KDZ - which is equally valid towards our current managerIf we couldn't find the money to sack Cook before the financial crisis the world is about to go through we wont be likely to stump up now. But if we suddenly did decide we wanted to pay off Cook i wouldn't want Jones as a replacement. Luton fans didn't think he was up to much - if he wasn't a former player no one would think twice about him coming here and nostalgia nearly always negatively impacts decision making when it comes to success in football.
To be honest the boards patience / financial inability to sack cook has kept us in the league last season and also this season. If we had payed cook off in Dec, Jan time and got a new manager in and still been in bottom 3 we would be a lot more nervous just now.
As it stands cook has kept us safe for 2 seasons in a row and we've had no expense of sacking a coaching team that potentially could have killed us off.
Hopefully factually correct though i can't forget that he spunked millions pre season and took the team backwards on the prior year. Never mind the shocking style of play in evidence for the vast majority of 2 seasons.To be honest the boards patience / financial inability to sack cook has kept us in the league last season and also this season.

Season needs scrapping. A shame for Barrow and yet another bacon saver for Horwich but it's done now finished. Start a new season when it's safe.If the lad from Brighton goes back and we play behind closed doors we are in big trouble but I don’t think we will play any time soon
Barrow will go up any way there is a place short in the football league. That’s what Barrow fans are sayingSeason needs scrapping. A shame for Barrow and yet another bacon saver for Horwich but it's done now finished. Start a new season when it's safe.

If the season is scrapped Horwich's points deduction should carry over - bet it won't though lucky buggersSeason needs scrapping. A shame for Barrow and yet another bacon saver for Horwich but it's done now finished. Start a new season when it's safe.

Will they? I suspect everyone out of contract in the summer will be released with immediate effect. We've not got the money to extend them, especially with none of them being key players. They'll all be released and replaced with youth team players to fill the holes in the squad. It could turn out an ideal solution if those kids make the step up, more assets for us to sell over the next year or so and believe me, we need every sellable asset we can get right now.There has been talk of contract extensions for players in the unusual position of their contracts being up before the season ends. Players like Balogun, who are on loan, will likely remain with the loan side until completion of the competition. Other players like Jacobs, Dunkley, Pilkington, etc, whose contracts expire this summer will be extended appropriately to enable clubs to complete their fixtures. This is very much subject to the players union and the EFL Clubs agreeing.
