Garry Monk has been appointed Swansea City manager on a permanent basis.

Monk took over under the title of head coach from Michael Laudrup who was sacked in February.

The 35-year-old, who has guided the club to Premier League safety with two games to spare, has been given a three-year contract and will be assisted by current coach Josep Clotet.

Can't see Swansea doing so well next season.

Because having 'strong values' is what keeps clubs in the Premier League, Huw.

Hmm with Swansea it's what got them there.

 

Have to agree. The thing they've been best at is keeping a strong thread through each change of manager. Good luck to them if they trust Monk and he understands their philosophy IMO.

They need to keep Bony W. Hope he does well tbh, seems like he isn't a total bellend and I quite like Swansea.

 

A Disco endorsement if ever I read one. :lol:

Think it had more to do with the fact that Rodgers is a superb manager.

 

Monk seems like a smart guy and may understand the club, but he's not exactly wowed in his short time in charge. Still, I suppose he deserves a full summer to get his ducks in a row.

Listening to that guy at 47mins is the nearest that I've ever heard to how I hear myself when I talk about Pardew, at all.

 

Late to the party but me too. He's absolutely spot on is Nathan.

Watching some footy documentary. Fuck me football was so much more enjoyable a decade/fifteen years ago. Man. Fuck. I hate modern football.

 

I feel privileged to support football in an age where the quality is insanely good, and it's so accessible, but part of me really wishes I supported it 'back in the day'.

Depends though, you can cherry pick brilliant games from most seasons. 11/12 was excellent throughout, I thought but this season, last season and a few seasons in the early '00s were crap as well. There's always a team to watch, or a class match going on.

There used to be "characters" in football.  Hardly any of them knocking about these days.  Look at the England squad in the mid-90s versus now.

 

Suppose it's an effect of players being set for life by the time they're 20, with a load of minders looking after their affairs - it turns them into absolute bores.

I think this season has been one of the best in ages, from a neutral point of view. The title race has been particularly exciting cos, until Palace, I've genuinely been unsure as to which way it was gonna go. It's a pity that one of the artificial clubs has perpetuated the idea that the title still needs buying, but then I thoroughly enjoyed Liverpool bottling it.

England were a better team - or at least a better team to watch - in the '90s as well. Andy Cole couldn't even get in the squad ffs. :lol: Absolutely ridiculous when you think about it.
