Gary Monk to Leeds

SSN reports Gary Monk to be Leeds manager.

Only 1 year deal so, cheaper when he sacks him after 6 months.

 

[Marshy]

Would be a decent appointment at a well run Championship Club, Leeds sadly are not, until they get rid of the idiot in charge it does not matter who they appoint.

 

[Daffy Duck]

As the saying goes, he must want his bumps felt.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Gary Monk strikes me as a very intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated, young, bright football manager.

What on earth could go wrong?

 

[Normal Rob]

It'll keep his profile high. If he makes a success of it, all the better, but if not, no-one will accuse him of doing a bad job due to 'impossible circumstances'.

This is off the back of both Darrell Clarke and Karl Robinson turning them down to manage better run teams a a lower level, this must have sent out a message to stay clear

 

[Iamapen15]

Desperate for a job is the only thing I can imagine.

Joke Club.

 

[BensGrandad]

Thats one more team out of the running for promotion

 

[Albumen]

He's better than Di Matteo imo.

He's better than Di Matteo imo.

Debatable as he managed to f..k up a good squad left by Rogers granted he sold some and had injuries but that happened with him in charge and responsible for team performances

Enormous and crucial difference between Monk, and those two - they were IN jobs when approached.

The Leeds job IS a big job, and you might get some points on your CV if things work out even reasonably well. If you're out of work, I'd say a risk worth taking.

If you are already in a secure job, and given that there was only a ONE year deal on offer at Leeds, you'd be a fool to take it. After the Leeds approach, Clarke signed a new FOUR year deal at Rovers the next day - so he at least did quite well out of it!

This, but he also doesn't strike me as an 'impact' manager, and it'll take time for him to relay his ideas and demands, so all the more bizarre.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

With their chairman and his history with sackings Monk will be lucky to still be in charge for the first game of the season.

A little bit harsh seeing as Laudrup ballsed them up for 2 years first

Staggering!

Sent from the boot of Lingard

He's better than Di Matteo imo.

Agree with that, and therefore pleased Villa have appointed him!

Has he been sacked yet?
