Popular Post Bloxwich Owl Posted November 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2020 GARRY MONK STATEMENT STATEMENT RELEASED ON BEHALF OF GARRY MONK It is a huge disappointment to be leaving Sheffield Wednesday. It has always been a real honour and privilege to be manager of this historic club. I know from living and working in the city of Sheffield how loyal the fans are to the club and I feel the passion they show for their team to be successful. Arriving at the club last September, I gladly accepted the huge challenge, which was something I was determined to get my teeth into. Making our way to 3rd position in the league at the turn of the year was good progress. Unfortunately we were unable to maintain that form and produce the same consistency to gain the results we wanted. Amongst many other factors, strengthening my staff this summer enabled us to meet the target set for this stage of this season; being out of the minus points and beginning the next phase of climbing the league. It is a big disappointment to be unable to see the project through. Hard work has been at the core of our daily work and the standards of that work have definitely been demanded and raised since I first arrived at the club. I do believe there has been some foundations put in place that will enable the club to be successful in the future. I would like to thank everyone connected to the club; the chairman, staff, players and of course the fantastic fan base for their support and I give my very best wishes for the future. Finally, in what has been a difficult year within the communities and businesses of Sheffield with the COVID-19 pandemic, I hope you and your families continue to stay safe and healthy and that everyone can all return to some normality very soon. Best wishes, Garry Monk 92 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loppy Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I read this... "Amongst many other factors, strengthening my staff this summer enabled us to meet the target set for this stage of this season; being out of the minus points and beginning the next phase of climbing the league." As we're actually currently 6 points behind the target. We wouldn't have set ourselves an objective that relied on the deduction being reduced. But tbf, that is a classy statement. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Nice statement Garry, but the only reason we’re on >0 points now is because our penalty was halved. Not because of your wonderful management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassy knoll Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I personally wanted to give monk more time, thought he deserved that with what he had to put up with here. I hope he does a good job somewhere next and shuts a few moaners up on here that still bang on about the manager who wasted about £40m and put us in this position we are in. Nice statement from him 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Luongo's injury cost him his job unfortunately. Didnt have an answer for that till it was to late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcGibbo Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 It's a nice statement but we all know Garry Monk is an intelligent bloke. He's done some really good stuff for the club but seems to massively overthink everything. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post royalowlisback Posted November 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2020 Even his statement is boring and inaccurate. It's never his fault, like Shaggy. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrig Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 As pointed out, we've only achieved the target of being out of minus points thanks to the EFL giving us 6 back. Regardless of, 12 points from 11 games isn't good enough, extrapolate that over a season = 50 points, less 6 = relegation. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgyowl Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I still hate to see anyone loose there job, all the best to Gary and his staff for the future, I'm still perplexed why we let beattie go he's a cracking coach if anyone needed more time it was him. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
