DC is in Thailand presumably, so are we reliant on Paxo or is somebody else responsible for working with agents and getting deals over the line. Why does DC being in Thailand have anything to do with it...since lockdown we've had family quizzes on Zoom with family in Doha, Jacksonville, Amsterdam, Cologne and Wetherby, Ascot and here in Sheffield. The whole world has been doing business from home. Monk himself said he speaks to the chairman daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowOwl Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 1. Get young hungry players who just want to play attacking football, with an experienced head at the back or heart of midfield. 2. Build a fortress Hillsborough mood again, we need to be difficult to beat at home, use youthful energy at the end of games to knick points. It doesn't need to look pretty for the rest of 2020 because it wont't be. 3. Develop squad to do well under pressure (being in the relegation zone for the rest of 2020 should help that) 4. January - depending on situation, buy for survival, or ideally avoid big additions if we are on track to survive (save money, use loans if needed) 5. Dream scenario - Survive 2020/21 season with a squad of young fit players build around an attacking style and confidence at home 6. If we've saved money from few singings in January, summer aim is to get a couple of key additions who suit our style, and can turn us into a real threat for next season. 7. Aim for mid/top half 2021/22 season, crop out any players not up to par and replace with more youth to grow for 2022/23 season. If fans could see this in action, i think there would be so much more patience given to Monk, if that was the plan, it allows for a relegation scrap year and a slow 2021 but theres a future in it. Realistically I can't see any of the above happening if we get number 1 wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this obsession with feeling entitled to know. Isn't it between player and manager. Fans have to trust. We always have. Did Big Ron or Trevor Francis speak to the fans about their vision for the club? ‘Fans have to trust, we always have’ hahahahahshshshhs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Short term vision - to ensure that we don’t get relegated down to League One next season Long term vision - this can be revisited next season, depending on whether we achieve our short term vision ( see above ) or not !

Swiss Toni Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I wouldn’t read too much into it. Every manager must give any new signing some form of spiel in terms of their vision. I doubt very much even DC has been privy to what the vision of Monk is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I think most managers have a vision for a club. It involves two vital components, Charisma and Luck. So far GM appears to be short on both so i have to conclude he is due a fair slice of luck in oodles. Let's hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a say at the club as we are not shareholders. We have exactly the same relationship with the Board as we do as individuals and collectively with the like of Sainsbury's or Asda or Amazon. And that's the truth of the matter. We are paying customers - like it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His problem so far in my eyes is that he couldn’t get the players he inherited to follow his instructions. Now much of the deadwood has gone he can enforce some discipline, not least in defence There's that word again. How much 'deadwood' have we got rid of?

catdog1121 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Monk has about as much vision as a silent movie at the institute for the blind. The recruitment just seems to be a scatter gun approach of grabbing anyone young from the prem youth academies. Thats about the only type of player that will respect Monk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitsteel89 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 12 hours ago, MrEdwards said: The plan seems to be buying players from under 23 squads who are unfancied for the prem but will hopefully be good enough in the champ If we can do what Huddersfield did and get a few prem loans on top I can see us being safe by Christmas but keep it to a min maybe 6 months with options to extend, can;t see us being madly competitive due to the situation but we have the money to get players of Murphy's calibre for sure, but this season should be about developing a younger squad and gelling them together though a challenging season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
