sMacLean Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Monk's future now rests in the hands of the EFL potentially. If it's 12 points deduction this season he might just stay, if it's 21 points with enough games to feasibly get us out of it and results still poor think Chansiri will go for a honeymoon period manager.

Spot on. Shame that there's plenty still can't see this tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitcat Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 3 hours ago, Owls Loyal said: Tomorrow's game against Reading could well be the last chance saloon for Monk. The fan base have not warmed to him and a defeat would mean 1 win in 10 games, 5 points out of 30, ie; sackable. His head is on the block and it it is time for him to swallow his pride, be pragmatic and get a win to take the pressure off. In that scenario he has in my view to rely on experience and assuming Luongo is not fit to play he needs to rely on experience: Westwood Palmer Iorfa Lees Fox Reach Hutchinson Bannan (Luongo if fit) Harris Fernando Wickham Plus Winnal and Rhodes on the bench in place of unproven youngsters. He's going nowhere. Get used to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 With this chairman, does anyone really expect him to a) act quickly and b) get the right replacement based on the advice of his "advisors" who seem to have questionable motives, not exactly in the best interests of SWFC. We can't continue with a clueless chairman who's rarely in the country, with no football knowledge. He's taking us down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 He’s gone. This week, next week, makes no odds. The players have decided they’ve had enough of him and have downed tools. It’s plain to see over these last few games. Atrocious professionalism but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got us to 3rd in the league with 4 four different manager's players. Then all of a sudden we can't buy a win, something has obviously gone off behind the scenes. I genuinely believe he's told all the overpaid garbage and freeloaders that they aren't getting new contracts and to find new clubs in the summer, so they've downed tools. Stick with Monk, call for his head if we're still garbage after 2 or three transfer windows. But calling for his head now or saying he's under pressure is just daft. He needs time to get rid of the rot that's set in and he cant do it overnight.

matthefish2002 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A poor game tomorrow and I the crowd show they displeasure Monk may walk. If he only has a contract until the season end they probably thinks no point hanging on. Not sure what to think about Monk, doesnt seem to be getting as much as he should out of the players but players at times need to take a long hard look at themselves.

This is the sort of thing i was talking about.. We actually don't know that this has happened but you would really have to be fxckxng stupid to do this if you were the manager of any business.

If we're still garbage after 2 or 3 transfer windows we could be at the wrong end of div 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What position do you play because it wouldn't surprise me if at least one of them had a game before end if season. Hope you're a box to box midfielder with an aggressive side.

Owls Loyal Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I agree with the Owlsman in that it is nearly always about the psychology of the situation: "He’s gone. This week, next week, makes no odds. The players have decided they’ve had enough of him and have downed tools. It’s plain to see over these last few games. Atrocious professionalism but there you go" Lose tomorrow and that is 1 win in 10 games, 5 points out of a possible 30. That form over the course of a season would give you under 25 points. In that last chance saloon tomorrow Monk needs to be pragmatic, select from the entire squad, use a system that they understand and try to motivate the players. It is on his head and it has always been that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the fact that FF has been the best player on the pitch for the last 2 games fit in to your ideas that they’ve all downed tools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 DC isn't tempting anyone of note to replace Monk. Most of football is aware how we are run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronxowl Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Don’t understand this, if Westwood is refusing to sit on the bench, then he’s refusing to play, = no pay surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in itself is criminal from a man management perspective. Gardening leave today is my demand. Or maybe he's told them nothing and so thecunts have downed tools because they haven't had their demands caved into. It works both ways. What I'm saying is that the lack of professionalism from the players is disgusting. Monk needs to be given time to bring his own players in.

He is 'injured'. Not sure how many more times this needs saying. Self diagnosed but injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
