I reckon he's settling into retirement now. Might see him doing a bit of punditry but can't see him managing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Only way we will get out of the cycle of directionless ineptitude on and off the pitch: is if a more experienced and hard nosed type of manager is brought in (i.e a Warnock; Bruce, Hughton or Megson type) and/or if a DOF and CEO are brought in. Monk hasn't stayed at any club for longer than a year. I don't think he's the man to rebuild with and he's shown nothing whilst here or at his other clubs to suggest he might be. Our troubles are far more deeper than just changing the manager but we need a tougher manager or more experienced manager, just to keep us up, stabilise us and to rebuild with in the short term. Whilst going forward in the long term, we need to create an identity or philosophy, build something over time, with younger players on the rise and by being more sensible by bringing in players with resale value and by selling our better or younger players in order to strengthen on and off the pitch.

Morepork Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) It shouldn't be lost on anyone that the one time (albeit brief) that we actually appointed a strong minded manger the clubs fortunes in recruitment, performance and general mood around the club and fanbase all improved. Quite frankly, under the current ownership regime we need a manager prepared to dictate terms to the owner as opposed to the likes of Carlos, Jos and Monk we seem happy to accept what they are given and work within a brief set by a guy that even after 5 years knows f@ck all about football matters. I'd accept any manager thats got a history of success and an inability to suffer fools. Edited February 19, 2020 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Said this before, Neil Warnock is in football for Neil Warnock and nobody else. If he thought he could do a job here it wouldn't bother him a jolt that it was Wednesday, he'd love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you do for a living, but IF another better opportunity opened up just down the road from you on twice the money, would you stick with your employer, or move? see, not only managers and footballers are mercenaries. I see your point, and thank your for your response. I'm a retired engineer, high-energy physics, (electro-optics and things nuclear) and got offers all the time, after a certain point, money just doesn't matter anymore. But, the career-span of a footballer is generally speaking, very short, so I certainly understand their looking for greener pastures, same for the managers. On the other hand, I think that most footballers & managers would like to stay at one Club, for the duration of their career, but, a couple of bad games, decisions, or signings, and either is looking for another job. Still, I wouldn't take Warnock, because he said he wants "one more job", rather than saying something like "I can get Wednesday playing better, with the Squad at hand." Anyway... Thanks Dorian, you always talk sense, politely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this quote he stares that when the culture in the club is wrong you need to change the players and accepted that often things get worse before they get better. It is at those time’s he says you need patience. I couldn’t agree more and it’s time we got behind GM Pearson went to rock bottom Watford and they improved. And now have a good chance of staying up. Monk took over a squad from Bruce full of confidence, a fan base expecting great things and a good atmosphere round the club. It’s taken him five months to totally destroy that, and we are in a relegation fight getting hammered every week with a fan base that doesn’t give a fewk anymore. Yes he’s doing a great job let’s give him more time. All aboard the relegation express whoop whoop. Clap clap clap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players who had been here under Jos were not high achievers and the ones Bruce signed (including the contract extension for Westwood) had just seen the boss they thought they were playing for disappear. They then had Bullen for some weeks who felt let down by the players in his quest for the job full time. But hey let’s kick out the guy who just might rid this culture of swimming with the tide and start all over again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clap clap clap the total, and utterly 'threadbare' (quality and competence wise) squad monk took on was staggeringly pushed into 3rd. place on the back of fletcher having his best run of form perhaps in his life. anybody who knew much of football could see he needed help, but also knew with his injury history it could turn nasty at any point, guess what?, wednesday got the latter one again. what we have, and had on the bench as replacements had been tried and tried again and seen a failures (with the exception as seeing nuhiu as at times an effective last 15 minute sub). the others have proved not to be up to the mark for (is this the 4th. or 5th. counting bullen?) the manager, there's a reason for that, they're not good enough. this squad from dc taking over was initially built up of players at the high point of their careers to play multi-passing high tempo football. now leaving aside the initial physical training process, and ongoing injuries, and just considering the fact that the 'high point' players are now 4+ years on, or past their best, the manager has had to find a method of play that the squad is capable of. we were (i'm not sure whether watching, or enduring it is the correct assumption, but) successful, and in third place, until the only forward we have got injured. in our position i can only think of colin that could/would take this on, AND stand a chance of turning it, but some of the fans would turn the 'non atmosphere' toxic. so who IS the man to do the job IF monk is not? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
