Yorkie Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'm hesitant to comment on whether or not clubs like Swansea should be sacking their manager - after having suffered two and a half years of being told, by everyone, how lucky we were to have a manager who made me hate football. But from a very distant viewpoint, binning Monk at this point would seem slightly premature; they're going through a bad spell for sure, but I thought they were all building together?

Ryan Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It just seems at Swansea it has gotten to the point of no return for Monk; the players don't look like they're playing for him, rumours about rifts nearly every other day and their confidence looks like it is at rock bottom. The only way out of it is by bringing a new manager in to freshen things up. I think the same about Mourinho at Chelsea though. I think if they get knocked out the CL tomorrow, Abramovich will sack him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Did OK until first international break, then Lost - Watford (A) 0-1 Drew - Everton (H) 0-0, lucky to not lose Lost - Hull (A) Cup 0-1 Lost - Southampton (A) 1-3 Drew - Spurs (H) 2-2 Lost - Stoke (H) 0-1 Won - Villa (A) 2-1 Lost - Arsenal (H) 0-3 Lost - Norwich (A) 0-1 Drew - Bournemouth (H) 2-2 Lost - Liverpool (A) 0-1 Lost - Leicester (H) 0-3 The games have been getting worse to watch as well, with hardly any shots on goal (from us). We are now a week or two from slipping into a relegation spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 As a club who are likely to attempt a progressive appointment, who would you like to see replace him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsted Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I love seeing sensible fans from other teams on here, I really do. Struggling to worry about anyone else right now though. We're right in the shit, and fluking one ain't changing that. Aargh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Does Monk have any say in transfers? Seem to be pretty light on strikers with just Gomis and that Portuguese? kid. You would have thought selling Bony meant bringing in two decent quality strikers not two average ones and Ayew on a free. Remember Laudrup complaining about not enough signings in his second year, bit harsh if he isnt given the tools in the first place. Not that i think he should be sacked now either way mind.

But from a very distant viewpoint, binning Monk at this point would seem slightly premature; they're going through a bad spell for sure, but I thought they were all building together? This. Fans of other teams and pundits who only know about the SKY 6. Usually like to bleat on about how wrong it is to sack the manager, they should stick with him etc. I always thought Monk was a fairly strange appointment and possibly a risky one. They haven't progressed under him and now they appear to be going backwards. Did OK until first international break, then Lost - Watford (A) 0-1 Drew - Everton (H) 0-0, lucky to not lose Lost - Hull (A) Cup 0-1 Lost - Southampton (A) 1-3 Drew - Spurs (H) 2-2 Lost - Stoke (H) 0-1 Won - Villa (A) 2-1 Lost - Arsenal (H) 0-3 Lost - Norwich (A) 0-1 Drew - Bournemouth (H) 2-2 Lost - Liverpool (A) 0-1 Lost - Leicester (H) 0-3 The games have been getting worse to watch as well, with hardly any shots on goal (from us). We are now a week or two from slipping into a relegation spot. That is worrying. I think I'd be wanting our manager gone with form like that. 6 points from a possible 33, plus a cup loss to a lower league team?! That is form. I'm not even sure Pardew went on a run quite that bad? He'd just have his insane 5-6 wins in a row. Coupled with 5-6 losses in a row. But to be that bad for 12 games, is a massive worry. It's not like they've had a really horrible set of fixtures, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like thats the issue, Gomis complete loss of form/confidence and no one to replace it. No team can go 11 games without a striker scoring. Give him a decent option upfront & im sure they'd kick on again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if he has control and chose that situation its not working well for him mind but i said at the start of the season it was a daft decision to rely on Gomis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
