    As a Swans fan I was glad to see the back of him, totally out of his depth in the PL however far better suited to the Championship imo. Good luck to him and to Leeds for the coming season.

    well said swanseaandproud ... Monk took Swans to 8th in Prem, huge achievement ... as always happens, a bit of a bump in the road and chairman panicked ... I was amazed when Monk got sacked, but grateful now that he is at Leeds

    Here's something else ... I've heard that Cellino originally wanted Monk but there were stipulations that needed to be met and Cellino wavered ... in his usual "I'll show you" style Cellino flew off the handle and tried to find another Hockaday ... thankfully his "choices" lacked character and we have Monk

    Interesting that when he was asked about player selection and tactics Monk stated that it never came up for discussion when he signed ... it still seems too good to be true that Cellino has hired a strong manager, but it may be that he is starting to understand that he needs to step up and behave if he wants to get into the £170m league ... his appointment of Niccolo Barattieri as a director is another decent move, he was at Sunderland and is well connected in the business world, so let's see if he is a stabilising influence on Cellino

    I’m so impressed with Cellino’s knowledge - new Leeds United head coach Garry Monk
    please log in to view this image

    Garry Monk drinks in his new surroundings at Elland Road after being confirmed as Leeds Uniteds new head coach, replacing Steve Evans (Picture: Jack Varley).




    GARRY MONK refuses to be fazed by Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino’s penchant for dispensing with head coaches on a regular basis.

    The ex-Swansea City manager is the seventh full-time head coach at the club since Cellino took over in April 2014 having signed a rolling one-year deal.

    Monk, 37, back in management after being sacked by Swansea last December, says that he was impressed by Cellino’s depth of football knowledge during talks and has revealed he has been reassured that he will have the final say on first-team matters.

    Verdict on Garry Monk: What a coup for Leeds United, after what’s happened here

    ‘No place for a rookie’: What they said about new Leeds United boss Garry Monk

    I had other options but Leeds United was the job I’d been waiting for - Monk

    Watch Garry Monk’s first Leeds United press conference

    Monk, set to be joined by his former Swans assistant Pep Clolet – with a move likely to be finalised shortly – said: “At the end of the day, it is results that dictate any manager’s fate and any manager will tell you that.


    “Nothing else is really my focus. I am just so excited to be here.

    “I am very honoured to be the manager at Leeds United and I am looking forward to taking this club – and this team especially – forward.

    “It is a big challenge, but it is a really big attraction as well.

    “I have had other options and other people talk to me. But for whatever reasons, whether it was timing or it was not the right situation, I feel this is the right situation for me and this is what I have been waiting for. I am ready to go.

    Morning all. Next season our likely position in the league will come down to who Monk is able to bring in and whether or not Cook and co. have to move on to balance the books. We know we need a 20 goal a season striker. I also think we need a CB big enough and experienced enough to marshal the back 4.

    Any news on outgoings?

    Youre bladdering on about teams qualifying for the Europa league or trying to <laugh>. Your football knowledge is pub stuff and will remain so, over the hill cast offs like Morrison and the legend Harris in charge. Give us a break TC, or more importantly, give yourself one <doh><laugh>

    I am prepared to have a stab.
    We won't finish as high next season and monk won't be here by Christmas if Cellino is still in charge.
