BIG D Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 New claims over wiped laptop, Garry Monk and his agent as Middlesbrough 'investigate four transfers' Boro sent formal legal complaints to former boss Garry Monk and his agent based on concerns over transfer dealings, it has been reported. The Daily Mail says it has seen evidence that Boro claim proves Monk was not protecting the club's business interests - contrary to the terms of his contract. It's claimed Boro have reservations over fees and negotiations linked to several transfers - and that an internal inquiry was hindered due to Monk's club laptop being wiped before it was returned after his December 2017 sacking. The new details have emerged following Monk's departure from Birmingham. Blues chief executive Xuandong Ren went public over his concerns regarding Monk and James Featherstone's relationship last month. The pair strongly deny any wrongdoing. The Daily Mail reports: That Boro were unhappy to discover Featherstone had contacted Derby regarding a possible deal for Cyrus Christie within a day of Monk deciding he wanted the right-back. Boro believe they overpaid by around £500,000. The agent received £100,000 for representing the selling club How Boro claim a separate agent told them Featherstone had asked to be involved in the transfer of Ryan Shotton from Birmingham. Monk had insisted on Shotton in conversations with Boro's scouting team. Featherstone did not represent the defender During negotiations to sign Martin Braithwaite, Featherstone contacted Boro but was told his services weren't required Boro have concerns over the £2.5m fee paid to Oxford for Marvin Johnson And that Boro believe Monk may have known a deal to sign Ashley Fletcher from West Ham could have been struck for less than half the eventual £7m fee, based on his knowledge of negotiations between the Hammers and his former club Leeds. Boro would now argue they suffered a £3.5m loss on Fletcher and senior club officials have evidence that Monk contacted West Ham to inform them of Boro's interest in Fletcher, without the knowledge of the club. Boro were told by Leeds they had lined up a loan deal in January 2017, with an option to buy Fletcher at £3m. The Daily Mail claims Monk would not authorise the move and later signed Swansea's Mo Barrow, a Featherstone client. In addition, Fletcher's father claimed Featherstone approached him over the possibility of assisting in the deal. Boro claim they asked the agent not to contact the forward's dad again.

cowl Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Westwood's contracted though. We'd be stuck in the past if were pining for Lee Grant, or for Kirkland to come out of retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way some are happy to stick the boot into a bloke who was a very good player for us because 2 of the very worst managers we have ever had couldn't get on with him. He might be difficult to manage but good managers will do it (has as been proved here). Monk especially has a history of falling out with players, I bet Westwood is laughing his b0ll0cks off.

But they've played football and trained with the team for the last 12 months, Westwood has virtually been on holiday for 12 months and prior to that his form was falling.

Ante's Bubbly Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 In my opinion he should have been sacked and taken off the wage bill along with Forestieri. Managers get sacked for far less and have to depend on idiots like FF and Westwood. When clubs get around to sacking players like this and removing them from the wage bill, hopefully other clubs will think twice before offering them another easy pay-check.

Guest REDAs_biG_piECE Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Westwood is the best player currently under contract to SWFC The usual suspects as usual have provided zero primary evidence to corroborate the conspiracy theory that he is the devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
