Drones club Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 35 minutes ago, striker said: I'd go 6.5/10. Monk is a young manager, with Premier league and championship experience who has inherited a better squad than we had last year. My only point of confusion, is why we waited 2 months, if he was the best candidate and available.Still, appointed now so hopefully we'll see some good football and consolidate around the play off positions. Because we tried to hire the Cowleys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full fathom five Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) 3/10 Taken 6 weeks to get an out of work manager who by the looks of that press conference knows he's about 6th choice. Not brought any backroom staff with him even though we are short there. A manager who never stays anywhere long so the long term building that a manager of Hughton's ilk or even the philosophy of the Cowley management pair would bring. I can honestly see us being in exactly the same position in a years time desperately seeking another uninspiring manager who will work under our delusional chairman (top 2 my arse) I will support him as i have every manager we have had but I'm very concerned.

It’s like Christmas Eve at 3:50 pm, when you need some onions for the sage and onion stuffing on Christmas Day. There’s only a dozen of loose onions left so you get the one that’s less bruised, and doesn’t feel soft when you squeeze it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 In real life the sun is shining and the birds are singing sweetly in the trees. On Owlstalk meanwhile.... Too warm... When's it goin to fookin' rain then? Sodding birds, I'm trying to get some shut eye.... The sun used to be shinier than this... That sparrer is out an tune... That blue sky dunt ave no stripes... And you ask where the whelm is? Where did you think it would be? For me it's a 7. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield1973 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 ....and if it doesn't all go to plan the first few games, let's remember that it wasn't Monk who put us here, it was some disloyal cabbage-faced ratbag who left us well and truly in the merde just as we were about to start our season. Big thanks to Bully, by the way. I'm sure he's disappointed at not getting the job but I don't think it would have been right for him and this way his reputation isn't too damaged by the muck n bullets of management, and the inevitable sacking that would come. Fantastic Club man, but not a Manager for us. Great news we're planning to keep him involved. Well done Bully, and thanks. Here's hoping you're always involved with this family.

Minton Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The whelm meter should be replaced by the Diggity scale. I'm currently at 'Hardly Any Diggity' after being teased with Cowley all week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 36 minutes ago, poite said: 5/10 Better than the likes of Pulis, Zola, Coleman etc who have all previously been linked. But this appointment comes 48hrs after thinking we were appointing the Cowley's which has dented my optimism A passing stray dog would be better than Zola and Coleman. Monk has a face you can’t trust. Looks like the sort who would be on 24hrs in police custody for fighting in a pub or stealing a hand bag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacré bleu Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Probably as good as we could expect. Would have been a lot happier if he had brought some new backroom staff with him though with some new ideas. I fear the status quo remaining which I feel has been stale for a long time. Anyway wish him the best and give him a 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn't sit right and im not buying into this he wanted to see how Bullen did as he knew Bullen's capabilities from his previous spell in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
