    Our greatest manager ever was undoubtedly the Great Dane.

    I dont think anyone had any issues with ML first season. There were plenty of issues surrounding his second season. If yiu compare Monk and ML over his first season then id say ML, last seasobs ML though and id pick monks.
    But Dragon, just because there are those who will disagree with you, no need to be arrogant and belittling. It doesn't suit you.

    "But Dragon, just because there are those who will disagree with you, no need to be arrogant and belittling"

    Oh come on. Speaking the truth (not opinion - the truth) isn't arrogance. The question was Monk or Laudrup wasn't it? Not this season or that season and not with provisos. I answered the poster with reasoned argument as to why it must be Laudrup, at least at the moment, whilst acknowledging that Monk may prove to be better in time.

    I didn't say that those who chose Monk were "knuckledragging morons". I stated that I believe there are some "knuckledragging morons" who are airbrushing Laudrup out of our history by pretending his achievements never happened. I actually think I'm being kind and stand by that description. Anyone who tries to deny factual, unequivocal history is a knuckledragging moron, surely? It's like saying that there isn't a moon or a sun, or white clouds. As Lib rightly points out I didn't name anyone and I didn't insult anyone directly and I didn't even say they were posters here.

    But isn't is a shame you're not so quick to criticise those who openly call specific posters "wally", "plonker" or "prick". Usually, nothing is done until your PM'd and then we're accused of "crying to the mods".

    You wanted this thread to stay up despite my reservations, presumably in the interests of debate - so let's debate and cut out the stupid warnings because of your sensitivities about tone rather than content that breaches the rules.

    Your arrogance is astounding. Cut out the unnecessary insults.

    <laugh> What insults and to whom, exactly?

    I actually find the mods' hypocrisy and double standards 'astounding'. Pointless bleating about it. You leave posts up containing vile name calling that flagrantly breach the rules but you throw out warnings when nobody has been insulted. Got to laugh really.

    Now back on track - Monk or Laudrup? No provisos.

    Monk Vs Laudrup Season1 = Laudrup Season1

    Monk Vs Laudrup Season2 = Monk the Rookie

    Laudrup = Cup win, Europe and 9th in the Prem.
    Monk = Nothing yet.

    At least this one is factually correct whichever side of the debate you're on.

    The only fact that matters though is that Monk is here, right now and Laudrup is not.

    Laudrup was a great player but Martinez, Sousa and Rodgers were all better managers and Monk has made a decent start.
