The fans and DC, all in the same boat... again. There is nothing for DC to say until he announces Monk is gone. He's already given him a vote of confidence by allowing him to bring in his team of Blvdes, and having some say on the players we'll be stuck with for the next couple of seasons. I think it's probably going to be a thumbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyblack Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Ozymandias Owl said: I prefer your fired... It infuriates the Grammar Police It's probably a good idea to have a word with the person who's going to replace the Manager before you get shot of your current manager too. In this case DC knows Lee Bullen can do no worse than Garry Monk, certainly in the short term, as he's proved that before. We know Lee will immediately go back to square pegs in square holes. I can't see DC doing anything this week though, because it's a very expensive game sacking football managers, especially when times are as hard as they are. However, the potential of losing £7m of television revenue will focus his mind soon. What difference will a week make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero faith in the owners ability to run the club and anything he’d have to say right now would probably only annoy me even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when we sacked Chris Turner. Radio Sheffield we’re waiting to interview him at 5pm after another home defeat and instead Dave Allen walked in and said ‘we’re clearly not making any progress so I’ve sacked him’.

Given the opposition faced that's Garry's own 9 point deduction to put alongside DC's own screw-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before there is any announcement there would have to be a discussion with the manager and his advisers. The club would want some safeguards about confidentiality which would involve a negotiation about pay off, as an absolute minimum. They would also need to speak to a temporary replacement assuming they have no one lined up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to this - we were fed YouTube and Social propaganda of a good group of lads laughing and joking and playing games in the training ground by Monk who wanted to show a different side to the club and engage with the fans. Fine, but the fans want engaging when the times are tough and we don’t want to just see them arsing about. Monk provides absolutely no value during a post match interview at all - fine margins, I take the blame, I can do a job, record isn’t good etc - no substance whatsoever on a plan or how it’s gone wrong. Whilst the lads plaster social when we’re winning - they’re zip when we lose, Bannan our club captain has said naff all since February - they love the plaudits when it’s good but won’t come out holding their hands up when it’s bad, and it’s really bad. No sign of reaching out to fans who want to understand what’s going on or engagement whatsoever. And then a chairman who we ALL want to hear from today or tomorrow - no manager should survive the run of results not only from The start of the season, Not only from the restart of last season, but from the beginning of the year - his PPG has absolutely gone through the floor to 0.4 a game - we need 1.5 to scrape staging up. DC - if you’re going to back Monk, bring out a statement and explain your actions ASAP - because this fanbase has had enough. Does take time. Especially if tapping up someone in a job -Warney would do. Hopefully, during international break, all will be all sorted. We need either Bruce clone or Reading manager's mentor. Or someone like that geezer just landed at Barnsley. But aint that difficult - if Chansiri delegates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That meant he was tight, put as much as he could in but it wasn’t enough. He had some business sense though and wasn’t indecisive or lacking in communication.

Simply pointing out there is a process that will be followed. DC ringing GM telling him he’s done and then telling the fans is far too simplistic Whatever people think about GM we have to remember we dealing with an individual who has rights and should be dealt with respectfully 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 In these uncertain times I'd be surprised if he does sack him and his team, contracts will have to be paid for etc. No quality manager will take on the job so we will be taking another major gamble on a relatively unknown/untried manager.
