Just watched Stevens interview. Honestly unless we spend a huge amount and get a prem manager in, I think we have made a mistake. What a nice, honest and truthful bloke.
Wasn't his biggest fan initially, but he won me over. Wish him well and hope he doesn't come back and bite us!

Evans interview on ssn was interesting saying he delivered everything he was asked to do. Let's hope Cellino sticks to his promise that we will have a team that can challenge for promotion this year. Some how I can't seeing him sticking to it.

Garry Monk? Not my 1st choice would rather have someone with championship experience than a manager from the top flight with a 32% win rate.

01 Jun 2016 19:14:04
it's actually 35.8% including his last 11 games which saw only 1 win from them, and not bad compared to other Leeds managers.

goo.gl/RFLcwL

only the Don over 50% with O'Leary at almost 50.

All in the same saucepan eh Mick.

01 Jun 2016 16:44:01
WHAT MM? NO F$%&ing CHIPS?

01 Jun 2016 17:22:18
I've just looked at the pile of Alphabetti Spaghetti with random letters everywhere and it looks like one of oneleeds posts - no offence.

That's funny MM
Poor Oneleeds, but he is one of us.

01 Jun 2016 18:49:32
Probably the same method that MC uses to choose the next manager/ coach. See which name he can make first then that's his guy.

01 Jun 2016 18:52:23
Mick, when oneleeds reads that post he'll make you eat your words.
Oops! Too late! 😁.

I am only joking and you're right 'We're all Leeds aren't we? '

Funny mm.

If it is to be the Monk man then I would say the following, would be interesting to hear what everyone else thinks.

first question - Is monk better than all the others MC has hired, i. e. do we feel more positive about him than when we hired the others?

Plus points - knowledge of higher football leagues in UK, should be able to handle "stars", modern methods in terms of training/ tactics, should have PL connections, seems bright type, media seem to like him.

minus points - limited management exp, poor win rate, not managed in championship, Swans got better when he left.

I will support any Leeds manager when they first come in, MC could hire worst if you look at names that have been in frame but also could have done better, so I am sort of half n half on this.

Either way he will need good funds to get team anywhere near top 6.

Step up to me
Best we had for a while. Since wilko potentially
Young. Prem experience.

01 Jun 2016 11:43:27
Have to agree and lots on here wanted a manager with premiership experience and his win rate is not bad considering it was with Swansea in the premier league.

01 Jun 2016 12:48:09
I would be happy with Monk. Not managed in the Championship but has played in it and therefore understands the rigours. Win rate not brilliant but his games were in the PL. Young manager who is known to work 24/ 7 and had Swansea playing a good brand of football (however not necessarily winning) . Mixing with PL managers gives him valuable contacts to sign/ loan players. Could be seen as a gamblers appointment but a calculated one and a step up from those he has previously persued.

Not sure. He took a team of players he was familiar with and made them successful in a club that was stable with infrastructure in place. When he had to move that team on and regenerate it he was not so successful. I am not sure how much support he will get from MC and he needs to develop from scratch with no real scouting structure or experienced staff in the picture and no plan evident for next week never mind next season. Can he bring anyone with him to support him in moving forward? I think it is a gamble for him but I hope he can do it! I do think that he's a better bet than some names I have seen banded about.
