Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 A decent manager who worked under some very difficult conditions here. He'll probably do a decent job as long as he's given a stable context in which to operate. 9 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOFABI Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Late in his reign here was absolutely miserable, but he's a good appointment for a team at that level. Hope he does well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pete Zarhutt Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 He froze out Hutch (odd) & Westwood (possibly the right decicsion), but still got us to 5th in the league just before Xmas 2019....then the players didn't get paid, there was the Boxing Day disaster at Stoke and...........you know the rest. I don't think Monk was anywhere near as bad as he was made out to be. And I do wonder if DC brought him in with one eye on an upcoming points deduction, given he kept Birmingham up after they had 9 points takjen off. Pulis was not an upgrade & hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I do think if we'd stuck with Monk, we'd have stayed up. Fair play & good luck to him at The Abbey. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 It’s took a long time for him to get another job and it’s a major step down from previous roles. Wish him well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we got to as high as 3rd with him. I thought he was a poor manager for us personally, the freezing out of Hutchinson was scandalous in my opinion and Westwood was still far better than Dawson and Wildsmith at that time. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably do a decent job as long as he's given a stable context in which to operate. He destroyed the playing side of the club. Circumstances were difficult as the Chansiri rot had started to set in but he isolated our better players and took a sledgehammer to a squad that was capable, replacing them with poo (some of which we still have) that had to be re destroyed once we got to league one as they weren’t good enough. Up until Xisco he’s been the worst manager we have had since Eustace. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Did well up until Christmas. We then somehow lost to Stoke and everything went wrong for him. To be honest I think Chansiri fooked him over as he seems to do to most managers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
