COOK IN A STEW ... chief exec faces questions
THE FA were last night urged to quiz Manchester City's chief executive after a vile e-mail was sent from his account to the cancer-ridden mother of a club player.
Defender Nedum Onuoha's mum was devastated when she received the message, which was intended for City's football administrator Brian Marwood — and appeared to be sent by the club's chief executive Garry Cook.
Cook has denied to Dr Onuoha that he had ever sent the message — which cruelly ridicules her illness — and has insisted to her that someone broke into his own e-mail system as a practical joke.
But Dr Onuoha, battling an aggressive form of cancer, is not happy with that explanation.
And last night she asked the FA and Premier League to investigate, handing over all her e-mail evidence to both bodies.
Dr Onuoha said: "When I opened up my e-mails and saw the message, it was the worst day of my life, even worse than being diagnosed with cancer.
"I couldn't understand how anybody could behave like that. I'm critically ill.
"I just cried and cried for hours."
