Mick70 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The monk problem is two fold? First he had to try change the dressing room culture at this club? The same set of players been here for 3/4 seasons and have failed to deliver? The squad needs an overall it all became too stale? But so far he has been given the money or back room staff to do his job how he wanted to do it? Can he do it? Who knows? But wot I will say I’ve always been told to use the best tools available for the job and to me he should have waited till season finished to tell said players their time is up? After all they would not told monk they got other deals lined up would they? But my biggest worry is that monk or any other manager that comes here at min won’t be able to get his own players cus someone else the signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "ELITE" players will have have that hunger and their attitude to everything about the game will follow that same trend - shame that can't be said as you go further down the pyramid..

Again you miss the point completely of what he was actually saying (in order to get a monk attack in) 4 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
