Personally, I think Monk is a decent manager. I think he would’ve been a decent fit here 4.5 years ago. He did a good job at Brum in difficult circumstances. My thoughts on him coming to City now have cooled, but I still think he would’ve been good at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the Sheffield Wednesday fans who don't seem to like him much. Ask the Leeds, Boro & Brum directors, not of who'd saw fit to give him more than 15 months in charge....

Riaz Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Monk was just the fashionable name last time and hasn’t really done anything in the game, apart from turn Swansea into relegation candidates. Chris Hughton is the fashionable choice this time, although with a far better managerial record and success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts on him coming to City now have cooled, but I still think he would’ve been good at the time. Monk I'm unsure on. At Swansea he took after a very good first season, their style and results south markedly. In his first final third of a season, post Laudrup he reinvigorated them in the League with Laudrup's side and reasonably consistent in their style albeit with some tweaks no doubt. Middlesbrough, probably harshly sacked. Leeds he did a good job at but IMO, possibly should have seen it over the line into 6th? Still did a good job! Birmingham, he did well enough in the circs but his wage bill was not insubstantial. Would also suggest there was scope to play a bit more football at times to get the best out of Jota. Sheffield Wednesday. Bit of dejavu, financial chaos! Surged to third by the halfway point but a disastrous 2nd half of the season. First half had seen them nearly safe though but not exactly poorly resourced wage wise. I can't make my mind up on him, I do note that he's showing a bit more versatility tactically. 3-5-2 for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Well according to GMcG, Cook is the likely appointment. With the start of preseason only a week away, it’s reasonable to assume there will be an appointment some time this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s as far as it goes. Would love to be a fly on the wall around the Lansdowns and Mark Ashton now. wonder if they are split over this protracted boring head coach hunt. With pre season about to land on us got to be a decision this week. either way I have promised myself will not visit this forum again until press conference announced.

petehinton Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 seems to be the most obvious choice now.

bcfcnick Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I don't think anyone has been as strong in the betting as this so, for the first time, it might be a decent indicator of the outcome. I think Dean holden will be retained and that makes sense in terms of finances and giving Cook someone who knows the Club and players well. Wouldn't be bothered if Jamie McAllister left to focus on his restaurant and staff recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a shit position financially due to a crooked owner. Any money we should have paid wouldn't have gone to him but the administrators? Hardly a gesture of good faith is it.
