I still think he is a cunt (see the twat thread in ot) but he has actually made an effort to get on board recently
I know mate, which makes him an even bigger cunt; arse-rimming at that.
It was Cook that made a twat out of Winter in the 1st place, by telling him our long term plans of sticking with the manager, getting him arguing our case in print & on radio/tv, laughing & joking about other clubs sacking their managers & within TWO WEEKS of doing that, he was talking to Mancini & 2 weeks later he was manager. That's why Winter & Co were so pissed off at that press conference.
I think it's commendable that Winter has been honest enough to rise above his personal feelings & try to be objective about us. I recon sone of the other writers who were treated similarly will never give us another a neutral write up as long as they live & I'd be the same in their position. This keeps cropping up, but City had those blokes eating out of their hands & then shat all over them. Many have now joined the ranks of the haters.
