I was wondering what had happened to this chancer as he hadn't been managing or on sky for a while. Came across an article where it said he was delivering coaching courses. This quote was attributed to him. The words you F***ing what? spring to mind.
"My spells at Leeds, Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Wednesday all turned out to be fire-fighting jobs, where I had about a five-week window to improve results before pressure came to bear from fans and the board." Monk said on a coaching course at Queen's University, via
YorkshireLive.
"All those clubs had fallen from grace but their supporters, and chairmen, still had a high level of expectations when it came to performances.
"I basically had to put in a system of play that suited the squad of players I had at those clubs in an attempt to get us out of trouble. That is the reality of managing at a club where you know you've both a limited budget and time to get things right.”
Monk managed Sheffield Wednesday between 2019 and 2020
