Guest Cannabis Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 #SignGarryMonk is doing the rounds on Twitter as the Leeds United fans show their support but whispers coming out of the club is that he's set to be axed. Leeds spent most of the season in the play-offs before falling at the final hurdle but Monk's work so far has been received with tremendous praise. Do you think it would be wrong for Cellino to part ways with the Englishman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversgirl Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Terrible decision if they do let him go. They have bottled it this season but he has turned the club around and something for the fans to be proud of at long last. They won't get anyone much better in my opinion...

Harry Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Keep him and they'll be up this time next year imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 30, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted April 30, 2017 Can see it coming and it would be absolutely typical of Leeds nowadays. Although the way they've ended this season is very disappointing, he's gotten them so much further than anyone has in years. It would be brainless from an outsider looking in to get rid.

Inverted Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Would be even more moronic than Derby kicking out Clement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig on the Wing Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Insanity that this is even being murmured. Monk has taken them the closest they've been to success in a decade - why rock the boat after tailing off for a few games? Although, it's Cellino, who is genuinely apeshit. He'll be sacked next week.

Danny Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 They'd be mad to not keep him on but it was a one year contract, no ones getting "axed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Bloody hell, they need to keep him, he's the best they'll get by a mile and has made good progress in one year. They'll build on it over the summer and finish higher next season. Get the feeling he'll be on a hiding to nothing next season though, as soon as they hit a bad spell he'll be gone.

Administrator Stan Posted May 1, 2017 Administrator Share Posted May 1, 2017 Nothing surprises me with Cellino any more. Ruthless owner expecting instant success but not realizing that Monk is actually doing quite well and taken Leeds as high as as they have been in the last few years. Quite clearly the foundations are there for Leeds to go further. If he axed Monk, he's just setting the club further back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 When does Cellino's ban run out? Can he even make the decision yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 If Gary Monk is not offered a new contract I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a job in The Premiership after the next managerial merry go round. His stock has risen to the level where it should be given where he took Swansea in his one full season and that they were not in the relegation places when he was sacked.

Fairy In Boots Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I had an argument with a mate in which I argued he'd done a better job than Rafa this year. Since then they've been shite and the wheels have fallen off, I can only apologise Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storts Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I said to my Leeds mate last week that I bet he's sacked. No surprise that this may be on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Almost definitely not, and it's not a case of him calling time. He only has a contract to the end of the season and he's spoken out about how much their is to fix behind the scenes at Hull City. I imagine he'll go if we stay up or drop, West Ham have been rumoured but I think he'd have more attractive suitors on the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 7, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 7, 2017 He should be whether they stay up or not but I don't know as much about what the problems are behind the scenes to know whether that affects it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's the best man for the job, even if they go down. The result yesterday against Sunderland was a poor one but he's done a great job really, that's a squad who just sneaked up through the play-offs and has had very limited investment. They aren't down yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machado Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 If they stay up by some miracle, I don't see why not. I don't think that going to the Championship is what he's looking for at this stage of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yeah, he can do better. His remarks since being manager seem to suggest there's more to fix than the manager, which doesn't fill me with confidence that he'd stay, even if he's right. If there were a change in ownership then who knows. To be honest nobody is going to begrudge him leaving, he's done well and played good football, we're the ones who gave him a 6 month contract.

Honey Honey Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 If he wants to stay in England he will stay at Hull. There isn't going to be opening for him any time soon elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted May 7, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 7, 2017 4 minutes ago, Cannabis said: Do you not think he will be taken on? 60/40 in favour of yes. I think yesterday was a strong statement in favour of him getting the job after some recent "hmm actually..." vibes, but I still get the feeling there's a bit of a Di Matteo / Chelsea thing about it where ultimately, it's not what the owners really want yet what's happening on the pitch is backing them into doing it. As daft as it sounds as well he might not want it. Very different to being a number two. It might not be for him in the long-run. But I'd like to see him get it. I totally see the arguments about us looking elsewhere but I think he's earned a chance. I don't think a lot of people appreciate how good our form is under him. Since he's got the job only Spurs have better league form than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takyon Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I believe he has a clause in his contract that will trigger a one year extension if we stay up. But barring a miracle that won't happen. He said when he joined the club that he's always wanted to manage in the Premier League, he took English lessons long before working in the country in anticipation of it, and I just don't see him sticking around for the Championship. I wouldn't begrudge him either, he proven his quality and has done a fantastic job, we really should have been dead and buried long before now. I could see him at Southampton. Rumour has it that Puel has lost the dressing room and there's been talk of him getting the sack. I think Marco would do well there. If Leicester decide not to keep Shakespeare on I could see him there as well, he's excellent at bringing the best out of players who have something to prove (although I guess Mahrez, Vardy et al. have answered their critics a bit since Ranieri was dismissed). I just hope he doesn't go to West Ham, they don't deserve him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Beneathus Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hope they stay up and that he stays, he's a breath of fresh air for Hull and to an extent the league, much prefer him to the usual cycle of absolute fucking charlatans that somehow get job after job despite being fucking useless.
