Road Runner Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 27 minutes ago, Steve Down South said: And you know what, he might still prove to be the right choice. I’ve not seen it yet, but willing to give him more time, despite my original misgivings. As you say he’s still relatively young, and can’t see us attracting someone with an impressive CV any time soon. I want to see him with his own players and coaching team. He seems to be getting through his ideas now and the formation works, be nice to give a manager a good go with his own players and no interference, just let him do his job. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a choice hypothetically Torrey I'd go with the Chappie who totally mugged Beckham back in the day ... He fits all the criteria.....

Westfield Owl Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 17 minutes ago, Willow Owl said: You said he brought in 3 players hardly having his hands tied. I only pointed out that they cost us nothing and we’re loans. None of our so called top players left because we’re top six at the time and nobody was probably willing to pay the wages. So we’re not paying Wickham, Windass and Da Cruz any wages? I doubt they cost us nothing. You certainly can’t say his hands were tied - about half the clubs in the Championship were interested in signing Wickham. I don’t think Monk did too badly out of the January window. Just sayin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) I think they’ll do a decent job there in time? I don’t think we were ever serious contenders for them as Chansiri doesn’t seem to do compensation for managers?

I would still class Monk as a young manager. His track record doesn’t particularly impress me but he’s still learning his trade and is young enough to improve. I hope he steers us clear of relegation and stays on to build his own team. If this didn’t happen and we ended up searching for a new manager, I really do think age does matter. I’m not blind to the benefits of experience, but in our current position I can’t see us attracting a proven / successful manager. That’s why I think we should be brave and go for young with potential, giving them chance to build a successful club over a number of seasons. Where might we be with our own version of Eddie Howe? I’ve no idea who that person might be, but a professional outfit should already be monitoring possible future candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not suggesting we get rid of Monk, think he deserves the chance to build a team. Let’s hope he’s successful and we don’t have to take a leap of faith with our next appointment.

Wow, that would really sum up modern day football. They have had one transfer window to change things and are only winning 1 point away from safety with 7 games to play. Surely when you appoint people like the Cowleys you realise it’s a long term project. Strange times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Reminds me a bit of when we sacked Jewell after 8 months, and he went onto another lower league team (Wigan) and took them to the PL. Ironically the Cowleys are what Hudds would probably need if they do end up in league 1 Next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield look in real trouble Huddersfield have exactly the same problems we do. Cowley’s aren’t the reason for the state they’re in. Same as monk isn’t at fault for our predicament.
