Garry Monk “there were a lot of things wrong at SWFC”

[@owlstalk]

 

 

“The only mistake I feel I’ve made in terms of the decision to take a job has been Sheffield Wednesday,” he said, “Because it’s the only one where I knew in my heart before I took it that there were a lot of things wrong there.

 

“I think the reason why I took it was because of all the bullshit that Dong (Xuandong Ren, the chief executive) had said at Birmingham about me, publicly. I thought, ‘I’ve got to get back in to prove that wrong’.”

So does that mean that Dong was right about him and his time at Hillsborough proves it?...I have no idea what was said about Monk btw

Yes Garry, you were one of those things.

Not sure but I thought the Birmingham chairman who slated him made a really weird choice when he decided to name his new baby after his favourite singer Bing Crosby

You could be excused for thinking so.

There are two things badly wrong at Hillsbro

Its an interesting article on The Athletic talking about Managerial burn out, contributions from Monk, Niall Quinn, Brian McDermott and Ricky Sbragia.

Dong....

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.

He really wasn't

3rd -> 18th in 3 months last year. Deduction carried over as a result. We’ll see how significant that is if we’re relegated by less than 6pts.

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.

Was he a little drummer boy?

[McRightSide]

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
