Hint of ginger in his hair. Played for us before. (Reminds me of someone) Welcome to SWFC Gary Monk. Hope you do well. Um...he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we ever wanted Houghton. Hughton perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he’d got a bang average squad playing attractive attacking football that was delivering results. Delivering results? Pl. 59 W.19 L.20 Thanks for putting our minds at rest.

Big Jack Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Well he is undefeated that's the only positive. If he was the one DC wanted he would have been appointed when Bruce left. Desperate appointment if you ask me. Of course I will back him but can't see him being successful. Totally underwhelmed.

theowlsman Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Experienced Championship (and Premiership) manager who guided his team to the latter stages of the Europa League knock-out stage and whose team finished in the top 10 of the Premier League. Got performances out of high profile players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Not really a fan, but I'll give the lad a chance. Though since this is a positive thread the best thing I can come up with is. The last time leeds had a former Wednesday manager and former players they charged into the Premier league under wilko with sterland and co' Let's hope we can have a reverse fortunes with monk and Lees and we do the same.

Some appointments just smell wrong from day one. And this is one of ‘em. I wish him the best but fear the worse You good with smells then ? , words of Doom just don’t get it me !!

Needs lots spending on it and loads of TLC. But in the right hands (not Monk) a classic. One of the best. Bruce took it out for a brief spin and showed what it was capable of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
