I'm not saying its not true, but I will await a source slightly more reliable than the HDM before piling in on this thread. Afterall, their Graeme Horne exclusive didn't exactly hit the nail on the head now did it?

In theory he is, I'm pretty sure. And theory and practice shouldn't be too different. The only exception that I can think of would be if there was an effort to reduce backloading. I think it is just a case of Cooke wanting out and the club wanting shot.

He did FC more damage leaving then he did helping KR and I think it is time for many to reflect on the wisdom of that move. He has cost KR a lot of money since his move over and I understand he is still costing you a bit even after his departure.
The damage relasionships between the two clubs management and fans will run on and that is his lasting legacy.
Has it been worth it ?
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;

The Daily Mash is more believable!
I did notice they hadn't got a quote or anything resembling confirmation from either club or Cooke. You'd have to be pretty confident to run with it, though. Their credibility (I know! ) would be badly damged and they must know that.

Think you'll find Cooke didn't want out.
He has been forced out and had he been an aussie none of this would be happening.
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.
