David prutton comments


Recommended Posts

Speaking exclusively to Football League World’s Chief Editor Sam Rourke, Sky Sports pundit David Prutton admitted that it will be a slight concern that Monk has had a number of jobs in a relatively short space of time.

 

“It is a concern having five jobs in five years. He started unbelievably well with Swansea, and if you look at how they’ve done in recent years, their hastiness in getting rid of him is the result of where they are now. He’s still in a position where from the outside looking in, there’s still an element of wanting to prove himself."

 

Prutton labelled the Sheffield Wednesday job as ‘a huge challenge’, although he also felt that Monk will be working in better conditions than what he experienced with Birmingham City last season.

 

“It’s not still in the tentative steps. You see enough of what the Championship is about to be able to understand and build a club in that image to be able to compete at that level. This is his next huge challenge, and the sense that you get from what he’s been like, he’s a very determined individual. You never know who wanted what at Birmingham, but he’s going to Wednesday, and they’ll listen as to how he wants to approach it and what’s available to him.” 

 

The EFL pundit praised Lee Bullen for his temporary spell in charge of the Owls, although he expects Monk to guide Sheffield Wednesday in the right direction as this year’s campaign progresses.

 

“It’s going to be very interesting to see where it goes, as we’ve been saying over the last few seasons with Wednesday that there are questions marks as to what they’ll have at their disposal financially. I’m very intrigued, and I think Bullen did a fantastic job as interim boss. With Garry, you get the feeling that there is that boldness, and element of youth in it and that it will take them in the right direction.”

Makes me laugh why it’s such a concern Carlos had what 15 in 14 years before us or something ?? He did well I don’t understand why it’s such an issue just bloody support the bloke

Prutton is one of the better pundits/journalists in my opinion. He doesn’t “kiss arse” but neither does he say things just to be controversial. He’s quite balanced.

I think Prutton is echoing the thoughts of many Wednesday fans myself included. From a purely footballing point of view Monk looks a good signing, his record is pretty good and he has shown a flexibility in style to suit the players at his disposal.

 

But you do have to have concerns over the number of clubs he has had in a short period of time and although his record has been good at these clubs he has either left or they have been quick to get rid of him.

Let's give Monk a chance to prove himself, instead of hanging him without a fair trial, which half of the posters on this site would like to do.

 

Got to agree, dumboldowl. As far as I'm concerned, he should come to us with NO BAGGAGE! 

The number of previous clubs should only make him more experienced. A manager moves for two reasons. the first, HE feels that he is not doing a good job, the second, the

OWNER thinks he is not doing so.

Chansiri is known for loyalty to his managers, and his willingness to give them a chance. to prove themselves  Carlos was here 2 years then jumped ship, Jos was kept far too long without producing, and the last s\#######e, after being treated almost like royalty, decided in a couple of months to jump ship. Whilst this says little about Chansiri's choice in managers, it does say a lot for him as a gaffer.

I know little about Monk, but he has been appointed Manager of MY club, and as such will get my loyalty until such time as he remains.
