Let's rate Monk then.

Saw this and thought, this is where we've been going wrong for a long time. So how do we rate our manager as of 03/11/16?

Marks out of 10, in no particular order, and feel free to add categories good or bad:

Capability
Shrewdness
Intelligence
Man-management
Diplomacy
Backbone
Media-savvy
Vision
Leeds loyalty
Ruthlessness

Go buck mad lads!

 

Too early. Might not like the results either! Will stick to blind hope for now.

 

Definitely a bit early, tougher games to come and 31 games to play, plus cup games.

We had similar thoughts on Evans, Redfearn, McD and Grayson, and we're still in championship.

I'll be realistic and wait to see what happens down track.......

 

I agree. Let's wait two seasons, by which time he'll have moved on, then we can rate him properly
Personally think he's done a fine job to date and his media interviews are all well worth a listen. Like that idea of no players wanted with big egos

 

capability 7
shrewdness 6
intelligence 7
man management 9
diplomacy 5
backbone 8
media savy 7
vision 7
leeds loyalty started at 6 but growing to 8 now
ruthlessness 10

 

Have you died??

 

read it now computer had a brain storm , now finished it

 

Don't know if Monk or is it his assistants doing the business, I know the players are

 

Good, was concerned

 

yes well thats what we want the players doing the business , im sure monk will be doing some of the training as he said he is working on improving their defending and tactics , but sometimes his substituting is questionable but i have got to say this is the best i have felt about leeds play and defence for a longtime , we really need to beat newcastle for teams to start taking notice especially with the liverpool game coming up soon

 

Think its a team effort Shaks, Monk, backroom team and players all seem to be singing from same team sheet

 

yes compared to last year , last year its like chalk and cheese cannot believe people wanted evans to stay on

 

Likely because Evans was near enough the best wed had in years and I dont think many of us believed his successor would be of the calibre of Monk

 

but i still stick by that if we had not won against blackburn i think monk would have been sacked it was that close

 

The late Wood equaliser against Fulham was a season defining moment in my opinion. Its been all good since

 

yes we won 2 games on the trot after that but then lost to forest and huddersfield so if we had lost to blackburn who was bottom monk would have walked but glad he did not now

 

Monk needs to be sacked and Evans brought back

I have to agree far too early to tell. I don't believe he is as great as some believe, he is work in progress and improving and as long as he continues to improve I'm happy. Got off to a bad start, said the wrong things, looked nervous in interviews but has come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of months.

Man Management, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, Leeds Loyalty, we have no idea on that one

Same here, I think it is a combination of everything, we have all the right ingredients at the moment

Because how many people was Evans allowed to bring in? How many players and what backing was Monk given? You can only coach what you have to work with, Monk has a far better selection of players than Evans was permitted

 

What a turn around though. Monk was one game away from the sack(apparently) still don't rate Grimes, but that's really the only negative I can find.

 

IMO I think its partly the Jansson factor, his enthusiasm and sheer determination on the pitch, seems to have rubbed off on the supporters and team mates..
