Thank you Baron Munchausen.

O dear you really are a very nice person - bet you've never been on the Rumours thread either. That is the biggest waste of off any-ones life.

oh dear indeed.

Staffs is spot on. The club have continued to say that Cooke would not be returning but some people cannot get it into their heads.

A few posts from anonymous posters on RLFans, 606 or HDM and plenty fall for it.

So, are we signing him or not?

well he has certainly killed that daft rumour once and for all now huh??
I think the chance of losing pass sales will have contributed to that press statement and also the deep loathing of the guy amongst the FC royalty probably had a lot to do with it also...
Well he aint coming back to FC and everyone should feel better for knowing that

Cabbages spouting dross.



I actually admire Rule for not opening the statement with 'Why can you not all just get it through your thick skulls...'
Have they ever released a written statement on it before? He'd have been within his rights to just change the date.

I guess the Bailey rumour came to nothing too. Is it just a case of think of the worst possible scenario and that anything better is a bonus?

maybe he started the rumours himself for that very reason

I've got a lot of respect for Rule over the way he has handled this. However its a shame he felt forced to make the statement purely in order to placate the gullible and weak-willed who will believe anything they read on the internet.

Now that we know this former player is never coming back, perhaps we can stop talking about him?

Aint he playing for Bransholme at Mo keep up his fitness levels

About as much chance as knitting fog.

Im not saying that all would be forgotten but why cant he just hold his hands up and say sorry i made a big mistake, i loved it at FC and i was a complete fool. It wouldnt mean we'd take him back but some people might just gain a teeny weeny little bit more respect for him.

As many kit kats as he can eat???

ooh no,cookie would bankrupt them

it could happen though,if he accepted a low salary? york managed to get thorman,by getting him work in the community,and at york college,along with extra help from a sponsor.

Got him a job at the National Railway Museum lined up

Aparaently the need a new fat controller for the Thomas exhibition

I can imagine Cooke exhibiting his Thomas!

how do you think york afforded dave woods as coach

i was a cooke fan even when he signed for the dobbins, its funny that other players who left hull for them haven,t been villified so much cannot be bothered to name names too many, isn,t it the fact that at the time if the hull board had offered him decent money he would still be playing for us if you are in a job and a bloke comes with a blank cheque book and says name your price your either

or a jehovas witness to refuse, fair enough left in a cloud but he is a human being with a family so get off his back ffs cookie and rich horne turned down wigan they first started playing can anybody remember challenge cup 2005

your knowledge (or lack of), the facts, is duly noted.

thought it was cooke that made the approach to rovers?? cooke went in search of the big fat pay cheque,and rovers were stupid enough to give him it.

indeed you are right, and the one thing I have never known a Jehovah's witness refuse is money, blood transfusion yes, money, no.
