Fan site Vital Football's attempt at an April Fool's joke backfired badly today. The web site reported that City's owners ADUG had sacked Gary Cook over the problems with the Kaka transfer. Well aware of the date, no-one fell for the whimsy, except, apparently, a Mr. G. Cook, who can no longer be contacted by the club, having packed his bags and taken the family to the Canaries.
"I called in his office this morning," said manager Mark Hughes, "and he was nowhere to be found. I did him the favour of ripping up the note he had left, because I don't think the owners would have appreciated some of the particularly well-chosen words, particularly "b**t***s" and "tosspots.""
