    Offering Sutton a contract and not Cooke is bizarre.

    Is this hearsay or fact that the players found out by social media that Hughes was the new manager or who was retained?

    They shouldn't be finding out on social media about being released OR about their new manager.

    These lazy players should be checking their junk mail every day.

    That's how this works.

    Cooke is probably on 3x the wages of Sutton and not getting in ahead of Walker, that would make him an expensive bench player

    Sutton is a very limited player and Cooke is twice the player he is.

    You jest. But I doubt any player or their agent didn't know their fate well before it was made public.

    Yet, I would guess Sutton has scored more goals over the last two seasons? That's even more bizarre.

    When the bar is low, 'twice' is not always so significant

    Was said after the Mansfield game on radio Leeds as it surprised me at the time, if it’s fact or hearsay I don’t work for them so you’d have to ask them. This club has lacked class since May 2016, R O’D not being told is right in the Rahic play book.

    You need to get real mate, we can't let everyone go. Under Hughes we have found that some of the players are not as bad as we thought. Bad man management and tactics under Adams made players look poor and disinterested.

    The players found out about Hughes when he turned up to training and met them. What other way did you want them to meet?

    Sounds like you want it to be true without actually knowing. Quite happy to quote stuff then when questioned back off and blame Rahic.

    Meet? When did I mention meeting have you never been told who your new boss is before they walked through the door?

    Which bit am I wanting to be true? I’m so desperate for the club I’ve supported all my life to lack class yes, suppose I’m one of those fans not supporting the club enough and the reason we’re failing…

    It's been clear for weeks that Hughes doesn't rate Cooke. I used to like him, but he's become a luxury player that we can't afford. He doesn't create or score enough goals and often slows our play down. He will be on decent money from when we were in L1. He's never getting in ahead of Walker or Pereira (if we were to re-sign him).
    Sutton can cover a number of positions and, with his pace, is a good option from the bench when defenders are tiring. It makes perfect sense to keep Sutton and not Cooke

    They're totally different. Sutton equally does things Cooke cant/doesn't. Are you discounting those?

    Yes. I'm not sure Manager turning up on first day and meeting the players, is anything to throw at the club.
