@owlstalk Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday manager Garry Monk today outlined that he's targetted a number of new signings, and also explained how the recruitment process works and that the club takes care of most of it “I’ve said it all along, it’s important to strengthen the squad regardless, but in our situation, of course it is,” “In any window, especially this one, it’s never easy. We understand where we’re at and what we can and can’t do, that’s not easy. Everybody is trying to work as hard as they can to find a solution. “As with anything, I’m hopeful of a few solutions to come in. If not, I’ll have to deal with that and get on with it. We’ve got a couple of days and we’ll see what happens with that.” Monk went on to describe how signing new players at Sheffield Wednesday actually works and who's responsible for what “It’s a normal process where I’ve worked,” “You’re asked your opinion in terms of where you think your squad is at, what type of player, whether that be the manager designing the profile of what you’re looking for or the club having their own ideas on the recruitment side of things and asking your opinion of certain players. “That’s what I’ve done at every club, I’ve never really got involved in the decision side of it. My job is to say yes or no; that’s a player we want or that’s a player we need. “Then it’s up to the club to decide whether we can afford to do that, whether it fits within the parameters of the business side of it.” “It’s now at the point where we’ve had those discussions and now it’s over to the guys at the club to either get those things over the line, or they can’t,” “That’s not my remit. My remit is to talk about the football and the football player and what we need going forward. We’ve had good communications with that in terms of doing the deal, that’s for the club to deal with. I’m very comfortable with that.” Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hornsby Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Looks promising. We should also try for Woodrow. Barnsley sell to anyone for a bita profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 DC really has to back Monk with this. Give him the best tools possible to get out of this mess he created. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Obvious issues are firstly that it seems to be all short term thinking with little longer term planning. Secondly somebody needs to actually manage the players as assets. Buy value, manage and control contracts and sell at the best time. We need a full time DOF to do all this, not some part time advisor. The payback from doing it properly is massive on and off the pitch. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I know people get excited by deadline day. But it’s not ideal that every season we are leaving it to the deadline. I still think we are 4 key positions light. Being desperate on the last day is not a great position to be in. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrowbyOwl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 " ... whether that be the manager designing the profile of what you’re looking for or the club having their own ideas" That sounds disastrous to me. Who are 'the club' in this equation? It's not as though we are brimming with football expertise at club level. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 For me the manager should always choose the players he wants, not have ones forced on him by people upstairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows the manager has complete charge of transfers at this club. That's how Carlos managed to ruin the club. At least that's what owlstalk has told me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say Carlos was blameless for the mess we are in and then blame monk for resigning Pelupessy etc. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
