Jim Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Are we really skint or it’s just the EFL’s cack handed rules stopping us from spending? Alan Nixon keeps saying the Chairman’s loaded and he gets more things right than the ITK’s on here, does he not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson won the SPL 3 times with Aberdeen, not to mention 4 Scottish Cups, a European Cup Winners Cup and a European Super Cup before moving to Manchester Monk arrived after another bust up with the brass of his former team. Not for the first time either. If ever there was a chalk and cheese situation Edited July 26, 2020 by Tommo_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUCH higher... I was referring to the hobbit at Bristol City and the Cowley at Huddersfield, both of which have been dismissed after collecting more points than Monk since Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several reasons Hughton would rather remain unemployed than come here. Cowleys couldn’t cut it at a better funded club than SWFC, so forget them. Even tho Bruce cane he was in no rush and left as soon as a better offer came. None of us are happy with the performances this year, but until this messiah comes along, you’d better get used to the fact we are what we are. A badly run club, with no money and a squad with little resale value. You missed off poo manager from that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had earned some slack. Monk on the other hand... The situation does not bare comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 23 hours ago, Kew Owl said: Yes, thanks. Is it not common practice in debates / discussions / forums to present information that supports your point of view ? I am of the opinion that Monk needs - and deserves to be given - time to turn us into a competitive force in this division. You’re perfectly entitled to disagree with me and to present information in support of your stance, which I look forward to reading and considering. This is the very essence of Owlstalk, is it not ? crikey, I feel like I have just bumped into my younger self, I was in Kew from 2005 to 2010 and argued with everyone on Owlstalk in what I thought was considered and moderate tones. Turns out I was wrong though and Ken Bates would have been an improvement. Anyway... What makes you think that Monk “deserves to be given time” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Monk he had the resources to replace Beckham with Ronaldo, Stam with Matic. Monk is no Ferguson, but there are few managers who could keep us competitive at the right end of this league. Stam with Matic. Has to be the worst upgrade in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under such circumstances I feel we wont get a fair judgement of Monk,until we see hi field a team of his own,to see if he can get something out of the dressing room(which by the way,MAY just be we stay in the Championship) Must remember Monk achieved this with Birmingham,AND with Wednesday..(seems to be forgotten that we could have been relegated this season)..Next season we may start with a points deduction(12+?) possibly higher....I dont see many of the names mentioned as relishing THAT sot of challenge,do you? Maybe become the latest SWFC 'whipping dog'.....NO on balance.Monk has the experience to deal with the immediate challenge,though other Clubs in similar situations to Wednesday,may find themseles looking for a manager simply to keep them in the Championship,OR dare i say it, IN EXISTENCE.

Swiss Toni Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 You need time and backing. Can’t help but feel Monk hasn’t been backed as well as other managers and that he’s just ‘treading water’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of Managers out there,in my view 'worse' than Monk....In our current situation,with a potential pints(or even 'points) deduction...pending,in truth,he is probably the most experienced Manager around in terms of dealing with such. I think the reality of season 20/21 will be a potential immediate relegation battle,underpinned by playing in front of 25% capacity crowds,(from October,EMPTY Stadia before than )with the threat of a potential further Covid outbreak(and lockdown) at somepoint in the Season. Matchday income will thus be reduced by 75% for the immediate future,so our income from the Championship,& TV money, is a MUST have.We simply must SURVIVE....

That and being on holiday before he came for how long?... We know WHO is available....and we wernt shipping last minute goals,or rolling over before Monk..?.. Beware of the pies! Too many make you vulnerable to the virus, even a certain stupid slob has worked this out! Point is that we are, despite Chansiri, capable of attracting a proper manager: Carlos even tho he turned into a clown and Bruce however many months he stayed. We do not know who is available, well I certainly do not, nor who is going to become available in coming weeks. Europe is our catchment area! Any proper manager would be better. Monk's record is not defensible, he has unfortunately proved himself to be incompetent over many months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
