Leeds fans got to be hurting with that, imagine Clement decided to drive off into the moonlight after this season.

Has to be a Prem team surely and I wouldn't bet against it being Southampton.


Imagine ??

It's a distinct possibility if he gets fooked around on the transfer/playing budget front !

Can't remember people thinking he would only last a month, i think most thought that was more his level while he was learning his craft, if anything lasting just a short time was probably more a reference to the way the owner hired and fired than Monks ability, and thats speaking as somebody who thought he should never have ever been anywhere near the Swans job.


Not true last August many experts on here were saying he wouldn't see September.

Monk won 48% of his league games in charge of Leeds - 22 of 46 played - the fifth-highest percentage in the club's history.

Aye, but last August this place was full of people saying how crap he was and he'd be out of a job within the month.

Well i will bow down to your superior knowledge/stalking of the forum in that case, it's my recollection that Garry had ability it was more that he was trading at a level beyond him, starting at lower level was therefore more suited to his strengths, the Leeds job with that owner was actually a win win for him, though one game from the sack was unlucky not to get them in the play=offs .

I'll be pretty annoyed if he gets a Prem job and turns out to be a good manager after butchering our playing style

I seem to remember his Mrs taking a picture of the TV & posting it on twitter when we were bottom of the league harping on about how they would swap places with us

His appointment was the start of downfall imo

Quite likely he has. Shame he cut his teeth here and left under a bit of a cloud. Would have been great for him to have gone somewhere else, learn his trade then come back a hero at some point in the future. Can't blame the guy for taking a PL job though!

I agree, good luck to him. Will be a bit peeved if he gets Watford or Palace playing Swanselona football though

Had a look at the leeds forum, interesting how a few were not that convinced by him and a theme was how when he got into a rut he didn't know how to get htem out again, echos of his time here.

Fans seem a bit split TBH . I guess they are still hurting after missing out on what looked a decent chance of a play=off place.

IMO Monk has jumped while he has built up the credibility , a slow start next season and a hangover from this and he'd be looking over his shoulder, best option was a move while still hot with a big increase in pay no doubt.
Be interesting to hear what Garry has to say .

He's been tapped up by Watford or Palarse. His missus can go to all the fancy shops now and be a proper 'Real Housewife'- he ruined our style, alienated every clique and would have seen us relegated if they hadn't sacked him. He was good for us as a skipper and I'll always be greatful for his goal saving block in the playoff final but for bringing Beattie here and his other 'appointments' I'm glad we got rid. We are back on track with an experienced coach and proper staff. Move on, nothing to see here.

The thing I like about the English language is that if he'd stayed, the thread title could have been Monk resigns.

His CV will look half decent to be fair to him.I think it could land him a good job at Yeovil or Morecambe maybe.

Unfortunately for him when youre playing you only get judged on by being a footballer and notjing much more but when you become manager you're judged on what type of man you are.

Interesting development. He's had a good season there even though they have missed out on the play offs. Personally I can't see him going to Watford as I suspect they will go with another European coach, I think Southampton would be aiming for a higher profile manager if they have a change, Palace could be an option as are any three of the relegated teams. Sunderland are a big outfit, Boro and Hull are smaller but the 3 have parachute payments and what should be the foundations of a decent Championship team.

Interesting times.
