matthefish2002 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I cant say I feel excited by Monk but glad we have got a manager with Championship experience. Problem is with modern football that your are only ever 3 games from the sack Might work in his favour that we are not expecting miracles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, you're right. But it's not just swfc, it's the whole of football, it's broken and corrupt. it's a disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have only gone for him in the last 48 hours. Seems that had we beat QPR (which we should have done) Monk wouldn’t have been appointed...hardly seems a planned, strategic appointment. People screaming about inaction by DC and when he takes some people moan again. The owlstalk way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 7 hours ago, RedDragonOwl said: You're an idiot, and the sad thing is you're probably a wednesday fan. Look at where the teams he was managing finished. Swansea finished 8th in the prem, right? At the moment we are mediocre. In fact for the last 23 years we've been mediocre. We are not a traditionally sucessful club. Since I've been alive we've not won a competition. We need to get behind the players and the manager. If you want constant success our club isn't the right one for you. I'd rather support a team where the staff and players enjoy working than winning half a dozen competitions This is bang on . Monks record stands up way past what we have averaged over the last 20 years. Did a good job at Swansea Leeds and Birmingham. What do people expect Pep or Klopp ?? Well sadly they aint interested. Give the guy a chance and lets see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Nick Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 OK, it's Monk, let's support him. Why trash him from the start? Let him know that Wednesday has a very loyal fanbase, through the bad times and the good times, and that Managers are the first to go after a bad run, maybe that's why we run through Managers every 2 years or so, for the last ~25 years now, ain't had a good run across the years, for some decades now. I just hope Monk is of the attacking bent, because the current Wednesday looks so good in the attack mode. Wednesday loses playing defense, but wins playing offense. It's just another Season... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 No problem with Monk ,But why has he got to have Bullen as his assistant ? .A manager should be able to bring his own right hand man in .Something not right to me.Good luck to both Monk and Bullen .But come January sales lets start clearing the decks and bring some new players in .

sheriwozgod Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Before anyone starts complaining about Monk just think on...............this time last year.............. This guy was alienating half the squad and was staring disinterestedly a la this image into the middle distance as our team was being dismantled on a weekly basis.

Would I take Monk over Carlos, Jos or Bullen? Absolutely yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsbornanbred Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) As another poster said, we have been mediocre, or at many times worse than mediocre for a couple of decades. The club has had well publicised issues recently with ffp, the stadium 'sale' and compliance issues. DC might have had other management targets which would be considered higher profile or more ambitious, but if they knock us back because we're not as attractive a proposition as some fans think we should be - then he has to look elsewhere at managers who aren't first choice. We could do worse than Monk, and whilst he has had a few clubs and sackings recently, at least he is still young from a more modern era of manager, whilst also having experience in the champ and prem. Honestly, I would have preferred the Cowleys, but I'm glad we've not got a dinosaur like pulis with outdated tactics and philosophies.

Absolutely yes. I agree. Think Monk is a step up from Bullen being caretaker but a step down from Bruce. I wanted someone with Championship experience so the realistic choice after Hughton turned us down was Monk, Pulis or Rowett. Didnt want Pulis and not much to choose between the other 2.

Stop slagging me off and look at the facts . We are accepting mediocrity, and we all know where that leads , our club cannot afford ( literally) to carry on like this so looking at your 'criteria' who would you have appointed?
