I was delighted that ML was sacked, knowing that Garry Monk would give his all and ensure we stayed in the Premier League. We will never know if Laudrup would have kept us up or not and we'll all have our opinions on that subject along with whether GM should now be installed as manager.
One of the reasons that I was delighted that ML was sacked, was that come summer, if he had stayed and kept us up, we would have had months of speculation regarding his position, would he stay, would he go. He would have been completely 'hands off' positioning himself in his home in Majorca with little or no communication with HJ, as I believe it was last summer.
Therefore as a club I think we need to ensure that we take advantage of this ideal situation that we now find ourselves in. We know we are safe, we have over 3 months before next season starts.
If the board feel that GM isn't the right man for the job then I hope this is resolved as soon as possible. Personally I would give the job to Monks. He will give 100% and be at his desk all summer, like Martinez and Rodgers before him, meticulously planning for next season. We all know he knows the club inside out etc.
I do have my reservations, we could potentially need a complete rebuild of our back 4. Chico may well go, Ash may go looking for a last payday. Ben Davies may be sold if a bigger club come in for him. Rangel will still be there although I'd suggest he will become more of a squad player next season.
So there's a hell of a lot to consider. I appreciate the views that GM should not get the job, the only thing I'd add is that if we give the job to GM, he should have complete control over whom he brings in as his number 2. This idea of bringing in an experience head is fine but it should be GM's decision.
