Gparrish Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Its an interesting article on The Athletic talking about Managerial burn out, contributions from Monk, Niall Quinn, Brian McDermott and Ricky Sbragia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 83owl Posted March 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2021 Monk was a terrible appointment who has dragged this club down. Thankfully since he left we have continued our previous upwards trajectory and have once again returned to being a well run stable and sustainable club. 3 1 1 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see how significant that is if we’re relegated by less than 6pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I always thought he took the job in desperation for whatever reason. Taking the job with no backroom staff of his own drew me to this conclusion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 What’s nice about this is we get to flip the argument around and say ‘you didn’t say that when we were 3rd’ This is just a manager protecting his reputation in the hope of his next job - nowt wrong with that 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just shifting the blame. He's hardly going to say "I had the team 3rd in the league but I was in charge while they poo'd the bed and eventually I got sacked after many months of incredibly disappointing results" 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningaround Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 excuses, his man management seemed abject and he dismantled a promising start. For me aside those 2 at the top, he is to blame for now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Does a manager ever accept any blame? When he took the job he repeatedly said he didn’t have time to get his ideas across in training, we eventually found ourselves in 3rd, then Monk said himself he finally had time to put his ideas across, and we suddenly slipped to 18th? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
