Really Keep on nipping into threads about managers doing charity work to keep posting how he's not a top young manager tho It's the equivalent of standing next to someone in the street collecting for Oxfam and slagging them off to everyone who wants to walk up to put a quid in their bucket I'll keep supporting him 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do suport him. I also know the difference between doing charity work and being a good football manager which is the point you don't appear to be able to grasp. Can you provide any examples of what Monk has consistently achieved as a football manager to support the statement he is 'a top young manager' or do we just judge him on his charity work? When you say 'it is the equivalent of....' it isn't really is it? You've just made that up as a smarmy, sarcy way of trying to win the argument.

You posted an article about his charity work. The very next poster said he hoped we"d realise what a top young manager we've got. I said I would realise this if he carries on winning games and overhauls the squad, that he was a decent person and it was great to see him getting involved in charity work but that doesn't make him a top young manager. I quoted the original post to save any confusion. I don't see what his charity work has to do with being a good manager. If someone had said doing charity work made him a carp manager I would have also posted that I didn't agree with that as the two things aren't connected. I haven't slated Monk (quote me where I have) and I haven't made anything up. Just because I don't think he's a top manager doesn't mean I think he's poo. That's two posts in a row where you've 'made stuff up'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough mate I just find it odd that with all the threads criticising Monk for his footballing decisions/career that you'd fall over yourself to post how he's not a top young manager in a thread that's about Monk doing something noble and nice That's all Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't falling over myself. If the thread had stayed a positive story about his charity work I wouldn't have commented as I did but the very first post changed it into a thread about his managerial capabilities which is why I posted. It would be so much better if everyone got behind him and gave him a chance to sort the mess out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years & years ago around the time of the 8k lowest crowd so comments echoed around Can't remember who, but someone was having a mare. The crowd had been getting on his back ( still happened in those days but minus the twitter twa*s). Anyway, this player's getting annihilated, his confidence is totally shot which in turn is making him play even worse. He get's the ball, loses the ball, and MR Gobsh*te here, thinking he's being hilariously funny & ironic. " Get some confidence you useless fuc*er". Absolute silence, no one got it, except one person, everyone else just staring at me, one says "Slagging him off won't help". I say "No mate, I wasn't REALLY slagging him, I was being ironic. You know, he's playing cr*p, short of confidence so I shout "Get some confidence you useless F" which will make him even less confident. Do you get it, it was like , you know like ironic". He didn't get the SUBTLETY of my 'joke', didn't understand the DETAIL of what I was getting at and didn't appreciate the NUANCE of my beautifully timed delivery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
