It's only the ones who have secretly got a man crush on Hutch and Westwood who are chirping like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he missed it because I call him Fessi I was talking about your post regarding as you called him "the ineffective da Cruz" who you previously had in your best team.

It's always a good idea to leave players who are injured or carrying a knock on the pitch. Why take him off as a precaution when we can be without him for the next month when he does some real damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 We knew what we were getting when we went for him .....he's never been successful and neither as he been a disaster.he knows how to manage at this level and given time he might turn us into a club that can be a comfortable mid table outfit which would be a decent effort with the budget he's going to have to work with .

Mystic Neg Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Most football club success is built on solid and healthy foundations. The manager of the football team is not the foundations, he is supported by them and provides the finishing touches, often taking much or most of the credit You see a club do well and it's easy to think, what a great solid manager they have. The manager then goes somewhere else to affect change in results but the foundations just aren't there. We could have the best manager in the world right now and we would still struggle to break through to the Premier League. The trouble is we have an owner who has no idea about what good foundations look like and built our house on sand, shed loads of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Owls Loyal said: With two games coming up against teams in the Championship Play Off spots the end could well be nigh for Monk. We will be able to look back on very little of note regarding his time in charge as even before Christmas when he enjoyed the benefits of Steve Bruce's legacy the results were decent but the performances were poor. Since then at SWFC he has produced: Toxic atmosphere Bizarre team selections Counter-productive substitutions Above all though Monk's personality does not in my view fit Sheffield Wednesday. Look at our successful managers: Big Jack, Sgt Wilko, Big Ron, Paul Sturrock. They all had big personalities. Monk on the other hand is arrogant, stubborn and I have to say deadly boring. Big Jack.....lovely guy but quit when he couldn’t get us promoted to the first division Sgt Wilco...got us promoted but hounded out by fan pressure after a poor run of form in top flight. Went on to be successful at Leeds. Big Ron....big personality alright and did well, but walked out on us Bruce style. Paul Sturrock....Hardly a big personality but was one of the best at finding hidden gems. Still had to go after poor run of form. Truth is none have been successful in the longer term or have particularly good win stats. We’ve had Carlos, Jos, Bullen, Agnew, Bruce, Bullen again and Monk in a little over two years. Somebody has to be given time to sort this out rather than letting fan pressure dictate the running of the club. The reason for our current plight is not the current manager but rests fairly and squarely with lack of strategy and leadership by the owner.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The interview ...waffle and incoherent jibberish. Risking unfit players and freezing out those who are fit. Bingo ball selections and a wing and a prayer we may fluke a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Meanwhile performances, tactics, style of play are terrible and we sit here and take it up the bottom because of "who else would we get", "players fault", "give him the summer" "let him get his own staff in" rounduns. Some much apathy at the moment, no-one can be arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he played as striker for his previous club. But hey, he was left isolated up front against one of the best teams in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is really boring and frankly disrespectful are the comments of some of the posters on here. There is no point in going over and over and over the same tired old ground that has already been covered in numerous threads. You know nothing about what is going on behind closed doors at SWFC. Repeat nothing. We had our chance in 2016 we blew it. We are now paying for that gamble. His character in the film was Oddball, very apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but not chanting or no atmosphere doesnt mean toxic tho, what's toxic is some fans what shut up slaģging the club off from top to bottom and even arguing and turning on their own fans that's what's toxic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
