 BBC News | Rugby Union | Cooke blasts RFU 'puppets'
Cooke - chief executive of Premiership Two leaders Worcester - is furious that automatic promotion and relegation between the top divisions of English Rugby has been suspended.
Cooke also had sharp words for EFDR, saying that it was "disgraceful" that the organisation "should be allowed to ignore the legitimate claims of the second division clubs".
But Cooke said that the provisions of that ruling meant that EFDR would have to abide by the Leicester Agreement (1997) "which commits the clubs to automatic promotion and relegation between divisions one and two".

If there’s a word that best describes Cooke’s approach, that word perhaps is “easygoing.” Nearly everything flows as smoothly as the water beneath that bridge on the album’s cover (which, by the way, is in Torino, Italy).
As is usually the case, Cooke’s resonant bass is most conspicuous on the slower numbers, “St. Stephen” and his fond tribute to Gerry Mulligan / Chet Baker and the “West Coast” sound, “When Sunny Gets Blue” (on which he fashions one of his infrequent solos).
This is a respectable debut album for Cooke and his quintet, but one whose many pleasing moments are uninterrupted by the kind of electricity that causes one to react with unreserved excitement.

 Cooke's broadside at Premiership clubs | the Daily Mail
Former England manager Geoff Cooke stepped into the perennial club-country row, accusing the Premiership clubs of being driven by 'pure self-interest'.
Cooke, executive director of the 14-club First Division, fired his broadside in response to Premier Rugby Ltd's terms for a peace deal, based upon annual compensation of £12.4million in return for greater access to the England national squad.
In an e-mail to PRL chief executive Mark McCafferty, Cooke said: "You should be aware that it is highly unlikely that FDR (First Division Rugby) will be able to support these proposals and it is possible that our clubs will actively oppose them in on-going discussions with the RFU.
