Maybe we can have a reformed Monk that can overcome the 12 point loss, and get us into the play-offs. But his record with us is occasional glimmerings of hope followed by repeated dismal failure. Week after week 0-3 down by 3.15pm before the lockdown!!! Yeah I mean he should have done better with most of the squads contracts coming to an end, some players refusing to play the last few games and clearing off, an EFL relegation threat hanging over the team, Covid meaning we played a game every other day in empty stadiums, an ‘injured’ keeper, more masseurs than first team coaches and no management structure of his own Cant see why he couldn’t just replicate the successes of his career during that period What a total loser he is 2 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to keep our heads down and out of the politics and support the players on the pitch. Got to get youth sprinkled with determined pros. People who don't shirk and shrink away. Ironically hutch would have been ideal as a leader during this time.. but hey ho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Going to take a miracle for Chansiri to sell up or even sell the majority of his shares to someone else who can do a better job. Looks like we are stuck with each other for a while yet. Just wish Chansiri would get some proper advice and make some correct decisions regarding the management team. Personally feel we need someone in charge that young players will be busting a gut to want to come and play for, Chuck them the same money we did at Bruce. But looks like we will plod on with monk so hopefully he has some magic charisma to attract these young players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if Chansiri will not get rid, then let us see if Monk can prove to be that proper manager we need. Nothing he has done here suggests that he can be. Time and points, or rather lack of them, will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elderly Owl Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 19 hours ago, Groundhopping Owl said: Out. This shambles was utterly avoidable - and all the money he spent has gotten us absolutely nowhere. In fact we’ve gone backwards, not since the last days of DJ have we been more in danger of relegation back to League One. Absolutely disgraceful levels of incompetence displayed in the way he’s run the club. And of course there is a massive queue of minted owners wrecking themselves to get a slice of The Mighty Owls? Thanks to DC we are solvent. The easy fix charlatans who managed and played are responsible. DC has maybe been naive but in my opinion he seems an honourable and well motivated man with integrity. He certainly does not deserve the abuse he gets on this forum ( I recognise we all have different opinions) but we would be in deep kack if he left. So let’s all grow up and either get behind him and the manager, or go and support Manchester City or some other bunch of galacticoes who win every week and are immune from P&L issues. Stop whining for God’s sake! ( other deities are available) PS you should have been here in ‘72 or after the bribes scandal. THAT was bad, this is just a blip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see us get bought out by a zillionaire with expansive footballing knowledge, but it ain't going to happen. So we're stuck with DC for the foreseeable, not much point in attempting to drive him out, on the contrary it could have a negative effect if he says feck it, we're fecked. So I'd prefer to keep my powder dry and see how he handles the situation we're now in, there's been slivers of hope in the last couple of years that makes me think he might be learning. At the moment all DC is guilty of is ambition and naivety, he had a go and lost, best to have a go and lose than not have a go at all imho.

I don’t think I need to step up at all, or our exceptionally loyal fan base who are consistently shat on by clueless management.
