Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of characteristic $p$. We conjecture that if $M$ is a $kG$-module with $H^{*}(G,M)$ finitely generated as a module over $H^{*}(G,k)$ then as an element of the stable module category $mathsfStMod(kG)$, $M$ is contained in the thick subcategory generated by the finitely generated $kG$-modules and the modules $M^{\prime }$ with $H^{*}(G,M^{\prime })=0$. We show that this is equivalent to a conjecture of the second author about generation of the bounded derived category of cochains $C^{*}(BG;k)$, and we prove the conjecture in the case where the centraliser of every element of $G$ of order $p$ is $p$-nilpotent. In this case some stronger statements are true, that probably fail for more general finite groups.
