Gary Monk to Swansea

Gary Monk has joined Swansea's coaching staff and is installed as favourite by the bookies to take over from Laudrup.

 

Hasn't he always been at Swansea? Kinda obvious Laudrup is on his way ouy. He hasn't looked interested for ages.

 

I thought he was already there as a player Fran? Didn't he sign with them from us?

 

Funny because my local bookies took a big bet just before christmas on Glen Hoddle to be the next Swansea manager which he thought was strange

 

Corrected it to be clearer. He has joined their coaching staff...as you say he was already there as a player.

 

I used to like you when you used "You'll never beat Kisnorbo".... Michael Brown?

 

It was voted for by the Leeds lot blame them haha will change again soon he retires at end of season

 

Laudrup sacked by Swansea. Crazy.

 

Not hugely surprising. Is Gary Monk the new manager?

 

Head coach. Alain Curtis his assistant.

 

Yep for the foreseeable future.

 

Ha! I was only joking.

 

Amazing that they would give a rookie a job when they are so close to relegation.

 

Fran is ITK

 

Considering the players they have, it's difficult to see how he could do any worse.

 

Europa seems to have this effect on teams with small squads, no matter the quality of the manager.

Their squad is just not that good. They're 12th at the moment, which is perhaps two places lower than what the fans could reasonably hope for all things considered. They play some nice stuff for a couple of seasons and that's all it takes for their expectations to become unrealistic and for the manager to take the blame for the inevitable disappointment that results from a lack of investment and quality players.

I expect to see them in the Championship within the next couple of years, pining for the Laudrup days.

 

That was a surprise...wasn't expecting Monk to be promoted so quickly.

 

"Whatever" .... Mrs Monk.
