Simple question, who would you bring in then and how would they do a better job than Monk? |  |

Marcelo Bielsa or Paul Clement,
Both these men have incredible experience at the very top level all over Europe playing a similar style of football to ourselves. They would come with incredible contacts and would be able to attract players to our club. |  |

Either of those, Uwe Rossler...
what I would do is open it up and see who applies. If Monk's the man he'll succeed in an open recruitment process. |  |

Bielsa for me ,please no mention of him going to Marseilles,brilliant coach/Manager and a knowledge of the game far beyond anybody at our club.You don't survive as Manager of Argentina and Chile and not know your way around the football world.Would be his own man. |  | | |

And would these two guys come to swansea? And all this talk of contacts is nonsense as far as I'm concerned, look at tony pulis I doubt many players outside of this country have ever heard of him. | |

It shouldn't be a yes or no question about Monk. It should be who is the best man for the job. Sadly people seem to be turning it into a referendum on Monk, which is unfair to all sides. |  |

Yeah I'm leaning that way as well. It's simple, we want to get as good a coach/manager as possible. If anyone thinks Monk is a better coach/manager than Bielsa then you should see someone urgently about that. There would be a risk that he may not fit but that's nowhere near the risk we're taking by employing Monk. | |

Exactly this, should have advertised to see what choices we would get, i think the board were afraid of who would come forward knowing they had already had Monk as their choice | | | |

You're missing the point once again. As far as monk is concerned im sitting on the fence. The main thrust of the thread isn't about who people want as manager, but could they do a better job than monk and more importantly would they come to swansea in the first place. | |

We'll never know if they'd come to Swansea until we ask them.
We haven't asked them. |  |

I would have thought we offer as big a pull as Marseille who currently sit 6th in the French League. | |

Based on that premis, anyone in the world is open to come to Swansea, when you pay the going rate you get the person you want. Putting a Monk in charge is akin to putting the helpful lady in your local post office in charge of a bank. She knows about stamps, tax discs and how it all works, but hasn't got a clue how to manage and talk through that process with people who have years of experience at that level.
Monk is already looking flakey and the pressure at the moment is off. What will he do when it really starts to hurt come November next season ? | |

Maybe the job will get advertised just to appoint Monk is crazy.
Just waiting for the announcement now Monk with Oleary & Trundle as support staff.
We are a Premier League club and jobs for the boys is wrong. |  |

Lol. If money is the driving force behind these two gentlemen, then one thing is for sure, they certainly won't end up at Swansea. | |

Exactly, if they advertised it they would not be able to justify giving it to Monk, hence they're doing it through the back door. Wrong in every way | |

Is that a done deal? He'd come to us over them, premier league over L1, and we'd compete financially due to tax. But who are we kidding, it's Monk's | |

We know nothing for certain. However to argue that we should appoint Monk because we don't know we could appoint anyone else is stupid on so many levels.
Of course we could attract someone else. We're a midtable outfit that has springboard two young managers to the Top 5. We'll never be as attractive again as we are right now. | |

There's interviews and putting out feelers. I'd be surprised if the latter hasn't happened in some form. | |

The feeling since he was first given the role is that it was his to lose. I'd be surprised if anyone else has even been seriously discussed, let alone approached, no matter how informally. | |

Agree with the former to a point, and maybe it should been done as an appointment to the end of the season rather than forseeable future. Has the club been hoisted by its own petard? It's an interesting theory. | |

At our level you would never need to advertise a job surely? |  | | |
