asteener1867 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Then has Monk taken advantage of The Chairmans naivete? No way would Delphjon Know any player would have metal rods in his legs, and going by his "footballling acumen" may well think it would make the players legs stronger..e.g Monk..."And...Mr Chairman..He has two metal rods in his legs!!!" Delphjon..."Like the Terminator???/" Monk "EXACTLY the same!!!!" Edited November 1, 2020 by asteener1867 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 1 minute ago, SallyCinnamon said: Monk was well backed in the summer in the circumstances. No club in the league splashed the cash. It was an unprecedented window during a pandemic. Monk was backed to the best of the clubs ability. Why that was the best of our ability is a different story. There is enough in the team to score at least 1 goal or pick up 1 point in the last three games 'In the circumstances' being the operative term here. I suppose Chansiri backed Monk as much as he could within the godawful circumstances he'd created for him, but in the grand scheme of things, adding three free transfers, three loans and a couple of £500k forwards was hardly going to catapult us into the upper echelons of the Championship given the calibre of player we've lost in recent seasons. Thanks to our previous overspending and the resultant points deduction, we were in no position to attract higher quality players and must have been among the least attractive Championship teams to join this pre-season. All that considered, we certainly should be capable of better than we've shown in these past three matches, and there's no doubting that Monk is failing to get the most out of the players. I've always felt that we needed to forge a team stronger than its parts in order to stay up this season. That we're now getting worse results than the component parts would indicate is going to see us relegated once you couple it with our points deduction.

GMOwl72 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 C’mon on let’s cut through all this cloak and dagger stuff and tell us who is the person that has identified and made these signings because whoever it is - Dunkley, Marriott, Paterson....needs to go on a scouting course for beginners!

I don’t believe that this signing is simply the work of the recruitment team with no input from the manager, coaching and medical staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are here today to discuss who you think we should sign for next season" "Ah great! That's good Mr Chairman - let's do this!" "Now as you know I'm absolutely MINTED and it's only the EFL/FFP stopping me doing a massive SPENDAGEDDON but even so I'm so loaded it's unbelievable and even better, I'm putting all my own money in so that should guarantee respect from all the fans too!" "Great!" "So Garry - what I want you to do is give me an idea of who we should sign to get us out of this point deduction thing. You can have ANYONE. REmember I'm minted and loaded so I'll get you anyone you like" "Great that sounds amazing!!" "Right.. Let's start... so this dream team you want to assemble. Let me know which players and I"ll use my contacts, my skills as a chairman but most importantly all that money that I have and I'll go get them for you" "OK that's awesome.. well let's start with my number one target Chey Dunkley. He's a natural born leader, a great player and I want him to be the one to captain the side and lead us to victory!!" "Ok - I'll go get him for you Garry - with all my money and wonga that won't be an issue because remember I"M LOADED!!!! It's only the EFL stopping me spending my money!!" "yeah yeah you've said that Mr Chairman" "You you want this player then? I'll get on the phone and get him, using all my spending power and money?" "Yep - I'm sure" "Hang on.. didn't Dunkley suffer a double leg break last February???" "Yes Mr Chairman but I think he should he top of the list of players to sign!" "Yeah but he's not played a single second of football since he broke his leg in two places in February??!!" "yes but trust me I think he should be our main signing this summer" "Hang on... hasn't he got MASSIVE METAL RODS In his leg????" "Well yes but he's definitely the one I want Mr Chansiri" "A player with a leg broken in two places, who's not played since February, with big metal rods in his leg???" "Yep - would be a great signing!!" "But you can have ANYONE Garry. I'm LOADED me - got loads of money. Cash rich I am. I"m MINTED - you can pick anyone you want in football!!" "Nope it's definitely Chey double leg break, not played since february, metal rods in his leg Dunkley I want" "Well okaaaayyyyy Garry - then I shall fully back you and go get him for you" Come on now... Anyone thinking Monk has been 'backed' this summer needs to stop, think and reassess their position Criticise Monk's strategy, tactics, man management, starting lineups, substitutions etc - that's totally right, fair and reasonable But let's not be trying to suggest that Monk's been 'backed' this summer or that he's picked the players we have got at SWFC. Too true. But Monk took job job on that basis. And twenty grand a week . Only rolling though, so thankfully relatively cheap to can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ahead of Iorfa, Flint or Lees. So we’re missing a squad filling crock and that’s the reason he’s not being backed. Right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
