A E Neuman NYowl Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I wish people wouldnt put DC and Cook in the same sentence it's giving me nightmares. Bought a Datsun Cherry from them about 40 years ago on finance and I think I am still paying for it. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 As I’ve said before, the Wigan fans hated Cook, wanted him out and had demonstrations organised just prior to lock down. Poor team selections, attritional football, bad subs and could never change the pattern of the game for the better. They obviously quietened down towards the middle and end of their good run, but they have never really taken to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 It is looking like the dreadful news that Monk is definitely staying is imminent. I find him totally uninspiring personally and all his managment jargon does not translate to results and performances on the pitch. DC unfortunatley has not seen that Monk is the Emperor's Clothes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this is true. https://forums.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/sheff-wed-game-protest-or-boycott.101926/ So basically they were rubbish, couldn't buy a win, then Wednesday turned up and rolled over for them to end their bad run, and they turned their season around.

Guys blown at least a quarter, maybe more, of his net worth on this and is losing £20m a year because of it. The idea that he isn't aware of anything or that he pays little attention to it can't be right. Personally I think his main problem is he doesn't cut his losses quickly.. when he makes decisions that are a mistake he digs his heels in because he wants to be right. If anything he's too patient and loyal, doesn't make the hard decisions quickly enough like changing a manager when its not working or getting rid of players he's offered big contracts to.

Owls Loyal Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Yes, I think there is a lot in what LodonOwl313 says. For most Chairman in the PL & EFL Monk would have been fired before the lockdown. But because of DC finds it hard to make a quick decision we find that Monk is still here even though results since the start up have again been relegation form. Taken over a season SWFC start up form would garner you 40-41 points and certain relegation. Yet amazingly Monk is still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously quietened down towards the middle and end of their good run, but they have never really taken to him. And yet they outperformed our team despite us having a far bigger budget and better players on paper. If you want to be critical of a manager for poor selections look no further than ours who admits as much himself when making more half-time substitutions than any Wednesday manager I can remember. As for attritional football, season ticket holders at Hillsborough were 'treated' to less home goals than fans of any other club in the division this season. They should be careful what they wish for, Cook brought them instant success by getting them promoted instantly and keeping them up last season. He did the same results wise this season as well but the club have let him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
