If they have already won the title by then will they be in party mode? A bit like Liverpool where in the game after winning the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 9 minutes ago, Owls-Fan said: Spot on, that could be huge for us as it would change Fulham’s attitude over night from desperate to win, to desperate not to get injuries or suspensions. Just realised that a draw on Friday would also mean Fulham can’t catch them Not only that, Brentford's game at Stoke kicks off 2 1/2 hours than ours on Saturday, and if they win Fulham won't be able to catch them either. Fulham might not know the result when they name their team, so it would be funny if they named a full-strength 11 and then brought on 5 youth team lads after 5 minutes. Knowing us, we'd probably still lose though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool's recent record is W5 D2 L5 and they are losing again tonight at half time to an Arsenal team that has been selected with the FA Cup semi final in mind. Klopp out.

yeadonowl Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 1 hour ago, The Night-Owl said: Hopefully Monk will be gone after the restarted season ends. I too don't see a single reason why he should be kept. He's done nothing in this League and he's never stayed at a club longer than a year. At times the football as been as dire and results have been as poor as near Carlos' demise and whilst Jos was here. I'd freshen things up in the summer, bring in a new manager, coaches and a DOF, and rebuild with a younger and more physical squad. Things need to change on and off the pitch. Hopefully the hearing goes our way, and DC learns from it. If we're smarter and learn from mistakes, then it could be a good chance to rebuild the squad but I wouldn't trust Monk to be the right man to build something long term with. So with all our money problems and EFL charge and potentially the same issue next year you would want to replace the management structure, add a director of football (presumably with a top salary to match) and also rebuild the squad with young hungry players Just interested how we pay for all of this and stay within any FFP guidelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's Monk ever done to suggest he can build a decent team, what has he ever achieved at this level, and when has he stuck at any club longer than a year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His signings at at Leeds included Hernandez, Bartley, Roofe, Jannson, Ayling all of whom would walk into our side. Hernandez was a free, Roofe and Jannson sold for profit and Ayling was under a million So I’d say that’s proved he can work the transfer market 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new zealand owl Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Its just baffling how fans can judge a manager when he doesn't have any of his own players in and in monks case has joined without a pre season. Judge him next year when he has shaped the squad and been able to wheel and deal at least a little bit. You live and die by your transfer business and your tactics, he's only been able to do 50% of his job so far. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strings Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The 12 point deduction could be coupled with an 'aggravating factors' points deduction, which are theoretically limitless, so we could be top of the league by 10 points and still go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
