Thats down to DC, not Monk Yet we wasted a million on two players we didn’t really need? We haven’t even recruited properly for the U23s 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he make a mess of something that was already a mess when he arrived? How can he improve it when he’s not had any money to spend? Or when we start the season on -12 and no one decent wanted to come? You say he signed these players which is factually correct. But the alternative was play the under 23’s because we hardly had any players. This mess isn’t monks doing. He’s not blameless but why can’t people see the problem is the man at the top. Its clear as day. You’re either not very clever or you’re thick. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an owner like ours, who has a mysterious 'transfer team' around him, a man who knows literally nothing about football, do you think Monk should have quit because he couldn't sign his own players, or wait to be booted and take the chairman's money on gardening leave?! The issue is the owner, Monk was terrible, a truly woeful manager, but these signings weren't his. It’s not mysterious at all, it’s been explained many many times And the signings were his, there’s a recruitment team in place that deals with Identifying signings upon the managers requests , Steve Bruce’s boys supported by the chairman and AP deals with agents All been explained time and time again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 What are people on saying Monk didn't sign these players? Unless you mean he didn't use his own money and his own pen for them to sign the contract? He came up with this absurd 352 during lockdown whilst he was sat twiddling his thumbs. The players can't and won't adhere to it. Now the squad has the worst attacking set up we've had for decades. Maybe in history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyblack Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Its uncanny how an owner can supposedly spend £350 mill on a championship club over a handful of seasons, yet end up with a squad that has got worse, had to sell the ground and be fighting relegation. Thats some skill that. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk - "Well there's a lad with his leg broken in two places who's not played since he broke it in February and who's got metal pins in it - I reckon he'll do" 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we recruited to play 3-5-2 leaving ourselves short in other areas, Pulis comes in changes up the formation instantly and players like Brown don't fit in and we don't have a experienced left back. Marriott and Flint out injured, Kachunga was just another body in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
