Job offers roll in for Cooke as Drogs prepare to let him go

Drogheda United boss Mick Cooke says he has had several approaches already following the shock announcement by the club last week that they would not be offering him a new contract for 2014.

Speaking yesterday ahead of Saturday’s EA Sports Cup final with Shamrock Rovers, Cooke refused to divulge precisely what sparked Drogheda’s decision, and the timing of it.

While it looks like the end of his three years at the club, the 62-year-old Dubliner insisted he is prepared to sit down and talk to the club’s board to resolve their differences. But Cooke stressed the ball is in their court.
