Cue the numerous FC fans who know the exact amount Cookie has recieved as a severance.

Well whatever happened deal was being arranged he was not going to be Hull Kingston Rovers next season.

Life time membership of Tweendykes Chinese take away, £8.70 in Postal Orders, a Sherbet Dib Dab and 40 No. 6.

Is anybody that bothered? I am sure it will be in his book anyway...

We're up to 30 pages on this thread and 100's over the last few tears so I reckon a fair few are that bothered.

Hopefully this will be the last Cooke thread on here, barring when we play Wakey and we can all move along now.

One thing I can guarentee is that Hull fans will grossly over exaggerate the price while Rovers fans will grossly under exaggerate it.



Wait for the book...mind you I would take that figure with a pinch of salt as well!

If he writes something in the book he better be ready to prove it as the grudge is likely to threaten legal action.

Well said, fed up with hearing about him.

Is your name rude?

Or is it this; "beautiful ecstatic punos tingle and ricochet off meandering wet blue squirrels that sizzle in the red summer morning of light?"

Not yet, they're still discussing with numerous Rovers fans how much they think we paid to Crocker

Six figure sum was what I got told.

Goodbye and good luck.

yeah but that includes the decimal for pence

Wonder how much that cost you.

Move to Wakefield confirmed:

It says he's signed from Rovers. Surely if you released him he would be a free agend and signed from no one? Am i been pedantic?

Very little mate.



(hopefully!!





).

1st time for everything!

(pause) not.

(in a Borat stylee)

Shame things didn't work out, good luck for the future Paul.

Here here. Will always believe the club made the right decision signing him. The most important factor in our 2007 survival (taking nothing away from the rest of that squad).

Thanks Paul, best of luck.

Ultimately i guess it's a cost saving anyway as long as you didnt settle the full amount of his contract.

Good point actually, is it right in thinking that unless there was a case of gross misconduct they will probably have had to pay him in full for the contract remainder?

No. Rovers will have agreed with Cooke an amount that was acceptable to him to terminate the contract. (compromise agreement is the technical term)

If for example Cooke is on 120k and he would earn 80k over the next 7 months with contracts running November to November it may be that Cooke accepted a fee of 40k to leave knowing he would be earning a wage from the next day at Wakey, thus saving Rovers 40k. (**figures are all made up, i dont know what the real deal is)

Glad we've got that cleared up then....

Eh?
