    Evans a failure? If he got the support that Monk got, you might have been surprised. Wonder how Monk would have worked out with the support & interference Evans had to put up with.

    Just occurred to me - there is a silver lining. My fave DM on our books is Diagouraga. Monk was going to get rid. He can't now!

    Thought you meant Strachan. No way is Evans coming back to the club whatever anyone thinks, good or bad.

    Haha. I can see how you thought that. No, I wouldn't want Strachan. Wouldn't say no to Evans, as I thought he was given a rough ride, but I agree, he prolly won't be back.

    Felt for a while that Monk might struggle with second season syndrome, so possibly good for us that he's cashing in while his stock is high. Like the players, he exceeded expectations. Previous posters are right, could have been a legend at Leeds, sh@t in the nest.

    I feel the same way about Wood, who I like and admire - I just don't expect him to have another season like that, and he will most likely slide back to mediocrity. If there's mad money available I'd take it, and wish him well elsewhere. It would buy back ER ffs!

    Sneaky liking for the Clotet idea.

    Whatever, MOT - we're still here!

    I think that list of candidates is a bit depressing.

    Only ones I'd take from that are Ranieri and Silva and both are just so unlikely.

    I believe Radz will be looking for someone more proven so I can't see Clotet being offered the position but if he was... Surely a chance for him to step out of Monks shadow?

    Said all along Monk made too many poor signings, our success last season was Wood and our defence. I also remember an article by one of the players, Bartley I think it was. The article came out shortly after our results started to get better after the poor start to the season. The player said Clotet noticed something on the pitch and made a small change that made a huge difference.

    No idea what that was but without that change and without Clotet how long would Monk have lasted.

    Edit** Found one reference http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37450604

    Could also explain the collapse, Pontus was dropped, Pontus had lots of yellows, his game style had to change slightly???
