would have him at charlton any day, young coach and will go far in football i think.19
-
Managerial rate of turnover too high under RD so there is no way he would want to make a habit of getting the tin tack

He has never managed an English club so he qualifies for the Charlton job25

It always amazes me that the football management profession (and I use the term advisedly) is that rarity where being sacked as a football club manager (incompetent/misconduct) does not have a great detriment to almost immediately getting another job as a football club manager!
Monk has just been sacked for failing - we must have him!!1 -
"Not a decision we took lightly" said the Swansea chairman.
Can anyone come up with a phrase that is more glib than that, and gets trotted out every time a manager gets sacked?0 -
No better than what we've got. ;-)3

I. Winder if Karel will jump ship?0

Maybe Swansea are getting into the habit of religiously changing managers every few months. I just pray they don't make the same mistakes as we do - out of the frying pan and into the friar, and it's nip and Tuck every time like Russ Abbot's madhouse.
It's enough to make me get my coat.2 -
I think he did well until recently considering the squad he had at his disposal - particularly coming in with no experience.bobmunro said:

he's a bit of a Chris Powell in that he seems to be a good man manager but maybe a bit tactically weak. I'm sure he's learned a fair bit going up against the prem opposition in both player quality and manager nous.
Sometimes changing job is what you need to refresh. Us plebs tend to do it of our own volition whereas football managers tend to have the decision made for them.
I'd definitely give him a go. Sort of bloke (demands respect) who'd probably be able to sort out the likes of Watt as he'd bring an air of authority given his playing and managing past.3 - Sponsored links:

While RD and KM are there, it's a complete waste of time expecting a British manager. Nobody would be stupid enough to work fore them, end of.1

Says he doesn't want the job.

To be fair to Garry Monk though, he's brought in excellent players, got them to their highest ever finish in his first full season of management, kept the wage bill down, kept the club in the black - spending £35m but receving £36m in transfer fees - and continued a club-wide philosophy on possession-based attractive football. That's a great CV for a manager who has barely been working for two years. Swansea are actually only 8 points worse off than they were this time last season, but the difference is Swansea have got themselves into this position by refusing to replace Wilfried Bony, which is utterly insane.bobmunro said:

Gomis is a slightly washed up striker who is aged beyond his years and is a serviceable back up for a team trying to crack the top ten but he's not good enough as a team's main striker and he's proven that by not scoring since August. Eder is a total clown and shows what happens when you try to replace a £28m striker (bought for £12m) with a £5m one. Ayew was a great (free) signing but he's not a number 9 and Swansea have suffered for it. I actually don't know what Monk's involvement is with selecting players to be signed but he's made the most out of players like Ki, Jonjo, Cork and Fabianski(!) They had the opportunity this summer to bolster their thin squad, replace their best player in some format and kick on, but instead Monk was left to rely on Sigurdsson providing assists and Ayew scoring every week and when their form has faltered the pressure and lack of depth has told. I think Monk is an excellent manager and he's been the victim of timidness on the part of the Swansea management more than anything else.
The only thing about all this chat is I don't think there's any way he'd drop down to Charlton, regardless of whether or not our clowns running this show would show interest in him. We'd be looking a hell of a lot better if we got him though. I might even be happy13 -

Plenty of posts before have been very clear that the manager needs to have proven Championship experience.-7 -
