If it is to be the Monk man then I would say the following, would be interesting to hear what everyone else thinks.

first question - Is monk better than all the others MC has hired, i. e. do we feel more positive about him than when we hired the others?

Plus points - knowledge of higher football leagues in UK, should be able to handle "stars", modern methods in terms of training/ tactics, should have PL connections, seems bright type, media seem to like him.

minus points - limited management exp, poor win rate, not managed in championship, Swans got better when he left.

I will support any Leeds manager when they first come in, MC could hire worst if you look at names that have been in frame but also could have done better, so I am sort of half n half on this.

Either way he will need good funds to get team anywhere near top 6.

Have to agree and lots on here wanted a manager with premiership experience and his win rate is not bad considering it was with Swansea in the premier league.

I would be happy with Monk. Not managed in the Championship but has played in it and therefore understands the rigours. Win rate not brilliant but his games were in the PL. Young manager who is known to work 24/ 7 and had Swansea playing a good brand of football (however not necessarily winning) . Mixing with PL managers gives him valuable contacts to sign/ loan players. Could be seen as a gamblers appointment but a calculated one and a step up from those he has previously persued.

Not sure. He took a team of players he was familiar with and made them successful in a club that was stable with infrastructure in place. When he had to move that team on and regenerate it he was not so successful. I am not sure how much support he will get from MC and he needs to develop from scratch with no real scouting structure or experienced staff in the picture and no plan evident for next week never mind next season. Can he bring anyone with him to support him in moving forward? I think it is a gamble for him but I hope he can do it! I do think that he's a better bet than some names I have seen banded about.
