109Waddle Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Best option of the out of work manager’s for me. Young, experienced in the prem and championship, British, decent record at clubs with varying financial stability. I’ll get support him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in charge 77 games W28 L32 (admittedly in the Prem). Sacked after less than 2 years in charge following a run of one win in 11 Premier matches, which left the club 15th. Pick out his one career highlight to be positive by all means. I’ll remain balanced and underwhelmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC was never going to poach another employed manager so the talks of Cowley or early suggestions of Stendal was never going to happen That leaves with the out of work managers. The two standouts on there are Rowett and Monk. Both know the division and more likely to know the players Monk took Leeds from nowhere to nearly the play offs. I agree Boro was a shocker but at Birmingham he’s done well with what was going on around him As for the action against him why all of a sudden is everyone siding with that cap end Gibson? Why didn't they want to join, that is the question? Is it because they wont have full control? Is Monk a yes man ? The press conference video to me he looks like a man who cant believe his luck. Couldn't stop smirking. Baffled by him not bringing his own staff in also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 4 hours ago, jonesy87shef said: You missed off the huge implosion at Leeds to miss out on the playoffs, Also missed off being sacked 4 times in 5 years. Missed off the investigation into having helped his agent profit from transfers. I get it, it’s a positive spin. But just no To be fair Leeds manage to implode every season, even did so under Bielsa in the play-offs. Sacked at Middlesbrough when in 8th place, bit harsh and it hasn't got much better for them since. Sacked at Birmingham due to a fall out with the owners. He had them top-half last season before the points deduction kicked in which was pretty impressive. He wasn't my first choice by any means and I didn't want him due to the allegations about the agent stuff with the transfers. The last thing we need is more speculation about who is controlling our transfers and for what purpose but it will at least make a change from Doyen being blamed for every deal! His record at this level is respectable enough and would prefer this over someone with no Championship experience of continuing with the limbo we have been in for the past 2 months.

Cos we're heading for an iceberg and the decent crew have bailed out - Bruce and team, Katrien et al. And we are only club now that would employ Monk now after those allegations from 3 different Championship clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocksyuto Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Didnt monk have Birmingham top 6 near enough and went on a crazy unbeaten run before the points deduction?

WalthamOwl Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Imo Monk would have been nowhere near the top of DC’s manager list. I think he tried to get Cowley earlier this week but Cowley turned us down (don’t blame him) hence Monk saying things moved fast over the last 48 hours. However I find it unbelievable if he can’t bring his own staff in and Bullen has been shunted in to being monks assistant. Already put Monk on the back foot but if he’s agreed to it that really is weak on his behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
