    Morning all. Maybe the Kean link is Cellino's idea of planning ahead. He's so confident of signing Garry Monk he's got his replacement lined up already <ok>

    I think Mighty must have had inside info that Monk was coming and has took a vow of silence to honour our new arrival. <laugh>

    Monk a done deal. One year contract with option of a second. To be announced later today according to a sun reporter just now.

    Personally speaking, I am really happy with this appointment. I think it's a step up from previous Cellino appointments. Of course, as others have rightly said, it all depends now on what sort of quality we bring in to improve the squad. It also makes me wonder if there is someone new in the background giving a helping hand. (Hopefully some interesting times ahead for our beloved club.)

    Costa Blanca South, a small town called Los Montesinos 15 mins inland from Torrevieja which is 35 mins south of Alicante. Wanted somewhere still mainly Spanish to help the kids integrate into Spanish society.

    I've got a place not far from you near Guadamar, just need to be able to afford to retire.

    Monk was the best out of the realistic options IMO. My only worry is he was a one club man and that didnt work out too well for mcdermot. Also he is only 37, but managers do seem to be getting younger. Get him in now and get a pre season planned and target some players, we are already getting left behind. Lets hope for some monky magic <ok>

    Nice one, love Guadamar beach. Was there last week with the kids. Heard it gets mega busy in the summer when the Spanish take their hols though.

    Yeah it does near the main promenade of restaurants, but you can sometimes get parked near the municipal pool or the other end near the meridional hotel. Otherwise I head up to La Marina or Santa Pola.
