Manchester City chairman Garry Cook to apologise over United name gaffe

More ammunition for Red Devils
Manchester City executive chairman Garry Cook has offended the club’s supporters after referring to the club as “Manchester United” at a supporters’ club gala evening. Cook was announcing the evening’s special guest when he said: “I’d like to welcome Uwe Rosler into the Manchester United Hall of Fame.”
The blunder will be of great embarrassment to both Cook and City’s supporters following Sir Alex Ferguson’s comments earlier this season that the club had developed a bit of complex as United’s smaller rivals.
Cook was still being booed as Rosler attempted to deliver an acceptance speech. He left the ceremony shortly afterwards.
He will now write to more than 70 branches of the supporters’ club to say sorry and explain that it was an innocent mistake. And he will be hoping none of those present choose to take issue over the error.
there wasn’t actually any booing.
perhaps if you’re going to lift news from other sites and not write it, at least maybe check a couple of other sources?
Cook is a moron. You only get one chance to make and impression. He blew that some time ago. Take Hughes with you on the way out.
Hello, I just found this blog whilst I’m hunting around Google as I am looking for some information on wall ovens!. It is an interesting website so I’ve bookmarked your site and I intend to come back another day to give it a better look when I can give it more time.
I tell you what, why doesn’t Garry Cook just stick to being his alter-ego Tony McCoy??
Take them high-heels off Mr Cook!!
Hmm not so sure, considering…
