I have asked my contact (who knows his family) who is going to do a bit of digging to see if there’s any legs in this story.
Personally, I get the feeling that with their takeover imminent & his contract due up next year that he’s using us as a bargaining chip to get a better deal & more funds. I believe that the takeover deal is due to get the nod or knock back this week so I guess we’ll see
The other angle to look at it is, as seen before, with new owners come new managers, maybe this, together with other reasons (such as he wants a move back north) fits nicely. Personally I would be happy with this choice, ex-player who has proved himself managerially. Why not ?

Precisely crammy. He could have been given the wink that the new owners intend to bring their own guy in and Cookie sees it as a way of jumping before he is pushed.
