Gary Cook's Wikipedia Page

Cook also did much work away from transfers introducing the "I'm From Manchester, Honest" campaign where supporters of the club write in their opinions of why Stockport is actually in Manchester & that they shouldn't go to watch County instead, these have then been placed around the interior of the stadium. Many fans have contributed to this including the likes of Ricky Hatton.

Career

Cook worked at sports were giants Nike for 12 years, working his way up to head of the Nike project "Brand Opportunism", before leaving Nike in June 2008 to take over as CEO of Manchester City. Although he’d been a resident of the USA since 1985, and spent four years in Amsterdam, Garry currently lives in a f*****g dreamworld. He’s an experienced liar, with experience at covering up child slavery at Nike, making him ideal for a deluded Manchester City.

Nike

Cook says he moved to the U.S in 1996 and started working for Nike eleven years earlier in 1985, presumably using a DeLorean DMC-12 travelling at 88 miles per hour. He would spend 12 years at Nike where he would become president of the very successful Brand Jordan, Cook says that he worked very closely with basketball superstar Michael Jordan while working at Nike. But then, he also told everyone that his dad is Thor, Norse god of thunder.

Manchester City

This attracted the interest of former Manchester City owner and civil rights campaigner Thaksin Shinawatra, who contacted Cook about becoming CEO of the club after the departure of Alistair Campbell, who was sacked for not telling enough lies. Cook accepted the offer and was appointed CEO of the club in May 2008.

One of Cook's first tasks with his new club was to find a new manager after Sven Goran-Eriksson had been dismissed; he targeted Herbert Chapman of 1930's Arsenal. After finding out that he'd been dead for 74 years, he reluctantly settled on Mark Hughes of Blackburn Rovers. On 4 June 2008, Hughes signed a three-thousand year deal with the club, the fool.[1] On the day Hughes was unveiled to the media, Cook couldn't hide his delight, stating, "I am delighted to welcome Mark on board. In our view he is the brightest young manager in the game and he was our number one target for the manager's job. Honest."

2008/09 Season

Cook's new task was player recruitment,[2] and he did deals for Tal Ben-Haim, Jo, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta and Shaun Wright-Phillips but failed in a bid for Roy Race, who doesn't actually exist.

However, this was all overshadowed when on 1 September, City were taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group; within a few hours of news of the takeover Cook completed the transfer of Brazil international Robinho to the club from Real Madrid for a British transfer record of £32.5 million. Cook suggested that the signing ceremony was watched by 10 billion people. Critics pointed out that this figure is some 3.5 billion more people than actually exist, but Cook simply stated that it reflected the magnitude of the news.

After the arrival of the new Abu Dhabi based owners many thought that they would opt for their own CEO but they decided to keep Cook on after being impressed by his vision for the club, the fools. They did, however, appoint a new chairman, Sheikh Yabhouti, who replaced the outgoing Thaksin Shinawatra.

After the 2009 January transfer window opened Cook sealed deals for Wayne Bridge, Craig Bellamy, Shay Given and Nigel de Jong. However, he failed in a world record bid to bring Pele to the club, blaming the breakdown in negotiations on Santos, stating, "If you want my personal opinion they bottled it, He clearly was for sale but we never got to meet with the player, the behaviour of Santos got in the way." Santos replied by pointing out that Pele retired from football more than thiry years ago.

Cook also did much work away from transfers introducing the "I'm From Manchester, Honest" campaign where supporters of the club write in their opinions of why Stockport is actually in Manchester & that they shouldn't go to watch County instead, these have then been placed around the interior of the stadium. Many fans have contributed to this including the likes of Ricky Hatton.

2009/10 Season

After City finished 10th in Cook's first season with the club, Garry suggested that they actually finished 0th, because they're morally better than everyone else.

He went about bringing in further targets of Mark Hughes. In the summer of 2009 Cook brought in Gareth Barry, Roque Santa Cruz, Stuart Taylor, Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Toure, [[Joleon Lescott],] Dougie from McFly and Sylvinho to the club. During this period Cook also built his own team of complete charlatans around him with Brian Marwood joining the club amongst others as part of Cooks team.

Along with Khaldoon Al Mubarak, Cook has seen the complete overhaul of the club's training base Carrington and scheduled a 2009 summer tour of the Moon where the squad met Marvin the Martian and played the Arctic Monkeys in the Vodacom Challenge.

He made a gaffe by welcoming Uwe Rosler to the Manchester United Hall of Fame instead of the Manchester City Hall of Fame and was booed by Manchester City fans, although that didn't actually happen because City fans are the most loyal in the world and never boo. He wrote apology letters to 70,000,000,000,000 Manchester City supporters clubs.

On 19th December 2009, Mark Hughes was relieved of his duties as City's manager after just 200 untruths in twelve games, about half the required amount. It is understood that Cook and Marwood played a large part in convincing chairman Al-Mubarak that Hughes wasn't the man to take City forward based on what Cook managed to achieve on Championship Manager 01/02; former Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini was appointed as his replacement, the fool.

Personal life

Cook is married tp Girls Aloud and is a keen player of Golf amongst where he regularly competes against Adolf Hitler, Bananaman and Richard Blackwood. Garry invented the colour yellow

talkSPORT

Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs became friends in 1998 when Andy invited Paul to join the team on ITV’s Fantasy World Cup. Andy had watched as much football as was humanly possible during the 70-plus shows he’d produced for Baddiel & Skinner and thought he could do with some company. After 11 years on TalkSport he never lead-presents, even when Paul Hawksbee suffers a last-minute illness. He also has personal hygiene issues.
