Titolo: altro articolo inglese, stavolta cook viene massacrato dalla columnist marina hyde

Marina Hyde è la columnist "stronza" del Guardian, immaginavo avrebbe 
scritto della cosa, troppo divertente impallinarlo.
Cook stavolta viene ridicolizzato da un punto di vista "etico", infatti 
il nostro buon Garry prima lavorava per la Nike e si occupava di Michael 
Jordan ed a suo tempo la Nike si prese delle denunce per sfruttamento 
del lavoro minorile in Thailandia (paese da cui proviene Shinawatra).
Ora storia vuole che Cook avrebbe incantato l'emiro con una tesi sui 
nuovi modelli di partnerhip, dice la Hyde:"il nuovo das k(r)apital" 
(riferimento al Il capitale di Marx) del mondo del calcio, ma anziché 
das kapital scrive appunto das krapital, crap=merda, cagata etc...
Questo Cook sta iniziando a farmi pena...lol, p.s. cmq deve morire!!!

Why Cook's City-pops taste bitter
Nothing about the Kaka farce was worse than Manchester City's executive 
chairman masquerading as a gentleman besieged by vulgarians
Does anyone know where we are on those Manchester City-branded energy 
drinks proposed by Garry Cook, the club's mesmerically ghastly executive 
chairman? Mr Cook caught his new owners' eye with an 83-page thesis 
entitled A New Model for Partnership, a sort of footballing Das 
Krapital, wherein he predicted City's full-spectrum dominance of planet 
Earth, within the structure of a Premier League of 10 to 14 clubs, with 
no promotion or relegation.
Among his many brainwaves was the creation of three City energy drinks -- 
City Powered, City Energy and City 24/7 -- and one could not help but 
feel that Garry might have drunk deep from an experimental sample of one 
this week, when he fumed that Milan had "bottled it" over the Kaka transfer.
How else to explain his being reduced to such emotional language? How 
else to explain the needy blitzkrieg of post-Milan briefings, in which 
he detailed the venal and amateurish nature of his adversaries -- and the 
lack of pastries in their lawyers' offices -- while attempting to occupy 
the moral high ground? It all seems most out of character. After all, 
until this week's fiasco, Garry had cultivated the air of the type of 
affectless sports executives grown in petri dishes in Nike's Oregon labs.
It was Nike whence he came, of course, where he was in charge of Michael 
Jordan's brand, another chap -- how to put this? -- who has never allowed 
himself to be held back by the dead weight of principle. When the 
segregationist Republican senator Jesse Helms ran against a black 
Democrat in his home state of North Carolina, Jordan famously declined 
to take sides on the basis that "Republicans buy sneakers too".
And no sooner had Garry been lured to Eastlands by the erstwhile owner 
Thaksin Shinawatra than he revealed himself to be a similarly gifted 
fence-sitter. Asked how he felt about working for the former Thai PM, 
condemned by Human Rights Watch as a "human-rights abuser of the worst 
kind", Garry replied: "Is he a nice guy? Yes. Is he a great guy to play 
golf with? Yes. Does he have plenty of money to run a football club? 
Yes. I really care only about those three things. Whether he is guilty 
of something over in Thailand, I can't worry ... I worked for Nike who 
were accused of child-labour issues and I managed to have a career there 
for 15 years. I believed we were innocent of most of the issues. 
Morally, I felt comfortable in that environment."
Alas, there isn't the space to wonder what handicap some of history's 
less-alluring leaders played off, or indeed to speculate whether they'd 
have stood their round in the clubhouse. But what we can say is that 
Garry has been looking distinctly less comfortable this week. Quite 
understandable -- without the figleaf of a big-name signing, the 
big-talking chairman must feel a little exposed in front of his owners. 
(That his earlier scalp, Robinho, should choose this very moment to go 
awol from City's winter training camp is an instance of curious 
synchronicity.)
Less understandable is the manner in which he has chosen to "move on" 
from it all. For a while, the role of cretinous lightning rod at 
Eastlands was taken by Sheikh Mansour's deal frontman, Dr Sulaiman 
al-Fahim with comments about the imminent acquisition of Cristiano 
Ronaldo. But with Dr al-Fahim now stood down from jester duties, it 
seems to have fallen to Garry to step into his shoes -- and what a quick 
understudy he has proved.
Your ears did not deceive you. Following the collapse of the Kaka 
"deal", the club chairman really did return from Milan in high dudgeon, 
affecting distaste that money had been mentioned so often. He really did 
gabble something semi-intelligible about City's emphasis on 
"humanitarian potential factors". He really did synthesise confusion 
that Kaka should have chosen to miss out on the opportunity to come "on 
a journey". And he really did suggest Milan lacked dignity. This would 
be disingenuous were it being spouted by Ron Manager. Coming from a man 
whose public credo has hitherto been bowdlerised Nietzsche, it begins to 
look like a demented form of self-parody.
Of all the poses Garry Cook should now choose to adopt, that of a 
gentleman ambushed by cowardly vulgarians is easily the most 
preposterous. Is this how real big hitters behave? When he eventually 
comes down off his City Energy high, the City chairman would do well to 
admit that for all its vaingloriousness, and for all its farce, nothing 
about the entire Kaka saga has made the club look more amateurish than 
his charmless bleating about it afterwards.

 Cook stavolta viene ridicolizzato 
ogni volta che sento parlare di Cook mi viene in mente il personaggio di
Commando che ha lo stesso nome interpretato dal nero che ha fatto molti
film con Scwarzenegger.
