RUMBELOWS91 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 "We’ve still got another game left, we need to get all that work done, focus only on that.

Popular Post hasthagotanycheese Posted July 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2020 Heres the forward planning I would suggest. Thursday morning.....meet Mr Chansiri, get sacked or resign. Thursday mid day, say goodby to players. Thursday afternoon. Job Centre, sign on. Thursday evening, book a last minute holiday in Tenerife, forget about Wednesday. Thanks for everything Garry, dont let the door hit your backside on your way out. 8 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know it might be a fact that tomorrow’s game is the last one for Monk as the Owls manager and that’s reflected in his latest response to questions about ‘the future etc’ I doubt it but you never know - if DC has listened to the comments and seen the Owlstalk poll Mr Monk might just be on his way out just like the players at the end of their contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I’m sure behind the scenes he is planning for the future, he’s saying the right thing that he is completely focused on the game tomorrow. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 14 minutes ago, Dagmeister's Shadow said: You really think we're not? Not sure. That's why I'm asking if people think his hands are tied until the EFL case is done. The quote above was in response to Nuhiu, and he said we weren't dealing with it until after the Boro game. Now it seems apparent he's on his way. Is that Monk's decision or have we snoozed and someone has nipped in and tied him up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Because the game is tomorrow. Literally got a month to sort everything out after tomorrow. And who knows whether he will be here for a significant time after tomorrow anyway. Edited July 21, 2020 by flo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Are you kidding? He talked about planning publically in January it backfired. The last thing he wants is for that to happen again. We know the planning is still going on behind the scenes with Nuhiu leaving and the youngster from City coming in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they're not training 24 hours a day. Could he not have found time to discuss players futures with them where necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 He’s man managing. He needs all his squad to be motivated for the match - including those who won’t have their contracts renewed. Be patient. It’s only one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
