Pulis came, took a look at what was happening, and did one. 11 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I would love to hear what people like Monk, Pulis and Moore really think of Chansiri and the way he runs the club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes wages but shouldn't have derailed the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Just wondered what Westwood was up to and seems he's recently signed a short term deal at Crewe. Shame how he left us, he was a top keeper and our best in a long time. Need someone of his ability long term as our keeper at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Think Monk is a decent manager despite what happened here, but I'm not a big fan of his style of play and the entertainment factor. Manages a bit like he played, good solid scrappy pro. He's probably more suited to lower league football, think he will keep them up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon Oxford will hammer them in the boat race. Always said he was a complete and utter cox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 If I remember correctly he didn't bring in any coaches which I thought was very strange. During the game he used to sit on his own with no one to bounce ideas off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimJunk Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 To be fair to Monk, we've hardly had a manager work out at this level, in 24 years. Carlos for 2 seasons, Laws and Gray because the bar was pretty low. After that I'm struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they do in one job, they've usually failed somewhere else, at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftpeg Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Good luck to him, wasnt a good fit for us, but then at the time I doubt ANYONE would have been a good fit for us. I wasnt sorry to see him gone, not in the slightest but unlike Jos, Pulis, Xisco and Cabbage head I dont think he could have done more than he did with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I don't understand why people make excuses for him. He was a ******** awful manager, a ******** awful appointment. He's done fizz all anywhere and comes across as a total ********. Doubtless he will crash and burn at Cambridge too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasthagotanycheese Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I thought that Monk was a truly awful manager for us, topped only by the clueless Xisco at the outset of this season, however what he said to the media on his appointment at Cambridge was very telling: "the thing I was really conscious about was trying to find an opportunity with a bit of stability in the ownership, that has a plan in their mind of where they want to go, but a realistic plan as well" SELL UP AND SOD OFF CHANSIRI. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think, at 39, he's just helping them out and who knows, having been out of the game for a while, the wage may come in handy too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowry Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 At fault for the biggest and most frustrating capitulation in memory. 4th after Boxing day losing to Stoke, finished that season 16th. Didn't have a clue, woeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
