Carl Sagan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The trap is to think the change will absolve the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAT Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 This one could start a chain reaction. Because up to now I think a few managers are on the knife's edge but their owners haven't got rid because there's no-one decent out there! Now with Monk in between jobs I can't imagine he'll get chance to fill in a UB40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyahoo100 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Garry Monk has proved nothing as a manager. Just picked up where Laudrup left off and system was already in place for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And didn't Laudrup just pick up where Brendan Rogers left off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyahoo100 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Exactly Laudrup picked up from Rodgers, and Rodgers from Martinez. Swans weren't quite fighting relegation when Laudrup left but they were in a slump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then surely he improved on what the other 3 managers you name, had some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyahoo100 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Nah not an improvement. Laudrup won a cup, Rodgers established them in PL and Martinez laid the foundations. Monk did quite well but it was all laid out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Didn't Swansea's dip in the PL come because they were smashing Valencia 4-0 in Europe. Like all teams without hugely deep expensive squads, the Europa makes things hard. Have a look at how many PL matches Liverpool have won after playing in Europe. It's shocking. Swansea won the league cup and played excellent football under Laudrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people took an instant disliking to Monk and maybe let that cloud their judgement in what he actually achieved at Swansea (their highest ever finish). A lot of 'good managers'have taken over good teams and made them worse so automatic improvement is not a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
