Da tipper jeg det er en "dårlig" signering. Tror ikke vi kommer verken topp 6 eller topp 10 denne sesongen, og sjansene er svært store for at Monk ikke er manager når vi kommer til mai neste år.

Nei det må du ikke si for da er du negativ. Men du kan heller ikke si at det var dårlig signering etter at han er sparket for da er du etterpåklok.  ;D

Leeds UTD have sacked Garry Monk after less than a week in the job. The former Swansea man becomes the 7th manager in 2 years to receive his marching orders from owner Massimo Cellino.

Disappointing

Leeds Manager Garry Monk“It’s bitterly disappointing,” Monk told Soccer on Sunday. “I met Mr Cellino in his office last week to sign the contract. As soon as I put the pen down he told me that I was suspended without pay pending an investigation of my performance. I’d only been in the job 8 or 9 seconds. Two of his goons marched me out of Elland Road like a criminal, and threw me into a puddle. Totally unnecessary.”

“It was downhill from there,” added Monk. “Mr Cellino set a target of 9 points for June. I explained that the season doesn’t start until August, but he said he wanted results — not excuses. Then he called me a Zenzero Puttana, which I think is Italian for Ginger Whore.”

Backwards

Leeds owner CellinoCellino insists that he made the right call.

“The Zenzero Puttana’s ideas had gone stale,” the Italian told Soccer on Sunday. “Matches or no matches, the results just weren’t there. Also, I consulted my gypsy and she told me that Monk was Ted Bundy in a former life. Bundy killed 30 women. Shame on Monk, the serial-killing little Zenzero Puttana. Leeds UTD will not tolerate violence against women.”

“At this time, I’d like to announce that I appointed Paul Ince as manager of Leeds UTD an hour ago,” added Cellino. “I’d also like to announce that I terminated the contract of Paul Ince forty minutes ago. Leeds UTD would like to thank Paul for all of his hard work and commitment, and wish him well in his future career.”

Brown

Phil BrownPhil Brown confirms that he has been approached about the vacant position.

“Mr Cellino asked if I’d mind being pre-sacked, without even taking charge,” the Southend manager told Soccer on Sunday. “I said not at all. Being pre-sacked by a club of Leeds UTD’s stature is a dream come true.”
Denne var helt genial, så håper alle får lest den!

Ung coach ofte bra for  Leeds

Gary Monk er 37 år og i begynnelsen av sin trenerkarriere.

Unge managere som har hatt suksess i Leeds (alder ved overtakelse i parentes):

Don Revie (34) Suksess
David O'Learey (40) Suksess
Simon Grayson (39) Suksess
Jimmy  Armfield (38) Suksess

Andre (ikke helt unge) med mye/noe suksess:

Howard Wilkinson (44)
George Graham (52)

Clarke og Eddie Gray må anses som fiaskoer selv om de var unge (ca 34) da de ble manager. Brian Clough (39) også.  Alle andre (dusinvis) har vært en slags fiasko og av "eldre" årgang da de overtok Leeds.

Konklusjon: yngre managere gir størst  sjans for suksess.

Cellino ønsket å ansette en ung coach denne gang. Tilfeldig??

er du journalist?
Dette minner meg om agurknyheter i juli....koke suppe på forskjellige spikre... Etter min mening er det trenerens faglige nivå som teller kombinert med hans psykologiske egenskaper. Tilslutt kommer spillernes kvalitet, hjelper ikke med ung fremadstormende trener hvis det er rask og middelmådigheter som gjør feil i kamp etter kamp ;)
Den som har fått mest ut av middelmådig rask er soleklart George Graham. Herregud, hadde det ikke vært for ham hadde vi rykket ned i mai 1997. Både Wilko og O`Leary handlet massivt. Stakkars Grayson fikk ikke kjøpe noe som helst....

Legg merke til at Monk er ung , spilte forsvar og er nå Leeds' coach

3 av de 4 nevnte unge sukessrike var også forvarspillere i sin tid:

David O'Learey (40) Suksess
Simon Grayson (39) Suksess
Jimmy  Armfield (38) Suksess

Ung coach og tidligere forvarsspiller bør derfor passe meget bra!

Er det riktig å si at Jimmy Armfield var en suksess? Rett nok tok han oss til finalen i Paris, men han arvet da også stallen til Revies "super Leeds", hvor de fleste alders og erfaringsmessig burde være på høydepunktet i karrieren.

Jeg er enig i at den ligger i grenseland og at finalen 1975 veier en del. Ellers ble det vel en 5. plass som beste plassering. Kalte det likevel "suksess" pga E-cup finalen. Super-Leeds var på vei ned i den perioden (1975-78).
Han arvet også en vanskelig periode etter Clough og stjerner sluttet. Ser man på Leeds-tiden etter 1978 så var hans tid en ok periode.

Leeds manager Garry Monk: if you worry about the sack you’ll never take any job
The new manager at Elland Road is unconcerned by the short self-life of his predecessors under the owner, Massimo Cellino

Not long ago Garry Monk was being touted as a possible England manager. It is strange how much can change in a year, a peripatetic period for Monk bookended by Swansea City’s highest league finish and his appointment as the seventh head coach of Leeds United since the spring of 2014.

Swansea City and Leeds form a curious juxtaposition. One has gone from obscurity and the brink of financial ruin to Premier League stability as the other has taken a darker path. Yet Monk, who played an integral role in Swansea’s ascent as a player before being sacked as the club’s manager last season after 11 matches, saw an opportunity at Elland Road where others viewed only trouble.

When the call came from Massimo Cellino, the Leeds owner, Monk had been five months out of work, analysing and refining his approach to management, visiting Sevilla and their former coach Unai Emery, while also meeting other sporting figures to share expertise. There was a desire to learn from his time at Swansea, to understand how and why things went wrong and to reinforce what went well.

In the meantime Leeds toiled in the Championship under Steve Evans, the fifth appointment of Cellino’s controversial reign since April 2014. Evans was called upon by the Italian in October and lasted in the job until the end of the season, remarkably becoming Cellino’s longest-serving manager in England, so Monk’s decision to take on a role that some in the lower leagues deemed unsuitable came as quite a surprise.

“I don’t focus on any of that,” says Monk of the limited shelf-life of recent Leeds managers. “I can honestly tell you that I don’t worry about that. If you worry about all of that, you’ll never take a job anywhere and I want to be challenged. It’s one of the biggest clubs in the country.

“Whichever situation you find yourself in, a manager will always be defined by his results. That’s the only time an owner will ever want to get involved, when the results aren’t right. That’s the same at every single club in every league across the world. I’m not thinking: ‘What would happen if I left the club and wasn’t told this or that?’ Who cares about that?”

For a club where rancour and regret have lived symbiotically in modern times, last season at Leeds hit new antagonistic lows. Some supporters’ enmity at Cellino’s running of the club resulted in dramatic protests: mock funerals were held before games and a series of images were beamed on to a stand at Elland Road calling on Cellino to sell the club.

The summer hiatus, like that of 2015, has cooled the controversy. All appears calm as Monk, who signed a one-year contract in June, oversees his first training session at Leeds’s ground and, while the sale of the young midfielder Lewis Cook to Bournemouth has caused some consternation among fans, the new head coach has called for a united front and increased togetherness before next Sunday’s opening league fixture at Queens Park Rangers.

“I remember coming here as a player and there was a siege mentality. I was on the pitch and it was incredible,” says Monk of playing against Leeds in League One when they were deducted 15 points in the 2007-08 season. “That’s the mentality we need to get, that same attitude of everyone in it together, the fans, the players, the staff, everyone at the club. It’s us against everyone else and we have to give our young squad the best opportunity to perform. The best way to do that is for everyone to be together.

“Whatever the opinions are, they haven’t got us anywhere in recent history. What do we do? Keep doing the same or try and change it. It isn’t just the fans. It’s everyone. It’s the staff, players, everyone’s mentality has to change. If we can pull together, no matter who makes a mistake or who doesn’t, that will give us the best chance as a club.

“I’d heard all the stories [about Cellino] like everyone else. But as soon as I’d met him and had discussions with him I was very impressed. The way he spoke, the ideas he has, the direct questions that I asked him and the answers that he gave, he was excellent. Speaking to him, he’s a very passionate man. One thing that can’t be denied is how passionate he is about this club.

“Every single owner, at every single club, they all want to know everything. They all want to be involved, they all want to have an understanding of what’s going on at their club. They have every right to know what’s going on from the bottom to the top. That’s football nowadays.

“It was nice to sit down and speak with someone who understands football. He’s been a chairman and owner for over 30 years so he knows a lot about football. He understood how I worked. It just felt right.”

That said, dealing with Cellino may be slightly different from handling Huw Jenkins, the Swansea chairman. Court cases, a Football League ban, a “pie-tax” ticket scandal; these are a selection of the issues that have followed the former Cagliari owner in West Yorkshire.

There have been signings as well as sales this summer. The highly rated Kemar Roofe has joined from Oxford United while Monk has turned to Swansea for other loan additions including the midfielder Matt Grimes and defender Kyle Bartley.

At 37 Monk is still in the fledgling stages of his managerial career but his thirst for knowledge and improvement is clear. At Leeds the allure of a famous history is never far from sight – notable recently when Johnny Giles attended a pre-season training session in Ireland – but Monk is keen to harness the club’s ambition rather than be burdened by it. “It was probably more difficult to manage at Swansea than it is being here,” he says. “I have a refined way of working in terms of what I do and I’m able to do it with a blank canvas.

“It’s a young and hungry group of players with huge potential and we are trying to build a culture within the club. I think the players see that and it’s important that the fans see that as well, then you can start to create something. That’s the only way you can get out of these leagues and get success, promotions. I felt that as a player and have seen that as a manager.”

Have his difficult experiences at Swansea helped? “Coming in here, I already feel a better manager,” Monk says. “But we all know that as a manager none of that will matter unless we get the results that are needed. We’re under no illusions. The challenge here is massive. But we’re going to do everything we can to try and get promoted.

“I’m not a manager that wants to go from club to club taking the easy route. I want to pick a big challenge in my career and this is one of them. It was an easy decision because of the challenge that it is.”

Garry Monk har imponert meg denne sommeren.

1) Han har en ro og en oversikt som er imponerende i intervjusammenheng. Han har tydelige og raske svar på alt han er utfordret på.
* Spillerkjøp og forhandlinger tar vi internt.
* På spørsmål om enkeltspillere som Vieira og Hernandez sier han klart i fra at det er en squadgame og at alle har en rolle å fylle.
* Samtidig uttaler han seg smart i forhold til Taylor og forventer lojalitet og profesjonalitet.

2) Om samarbeidet med Cellino er han ydmyk og samtidig åpen. Han er ikke noen som sleiker sjefen oppetter ryggen.

3) Han har troen på seg selv, trenerteamet og spillerne. Alltid er svaret: "Just like we have planned for!"

4) Han har en strukturert og en tydelig plan på hvordan han bygger laget, lagdel for lagdel.
* Han viser at ett mål pr kamp ikke er godt nok: Handler Antonsson og Roofe. Vil ha mer kreativitet og handler Sacko og Hernandez.
* Han er ikke redd for å vente på å få inn kvalitet, og grepene han gjør på transfermarkedet får tillit og penger av Cellino.
* Om han ikke ønsker spilleren, eller at det er et vågestykke så trekker han seg: Eklund med flere.
* Monk får faktisk inn kvalitet.

5) Hans taktiske disposisjoner var bra i Swansea. Og vi kunne allerede se resultatene av dette mot Atalanta, der hele spillergruppen deltok i en plan og var veldig bevisste sine roller!

Det blir spennende å følge Monk og laget gjennom denne sesongen!!!  :)

Jeg er meget enig her. Monk kan ikke sammenliknes med alle merkelige uttalelser som kom fra Evans!! Viktig å ha en coach som opptrer profft i media, i tillegg til faglig tyngde selvsagt. Han er Leeds' ansikt utad. Veldig glad for at Leeds byttet coach i  sommer!! Noen mener Cellino var en dust som gav Evans  sparken.

Synes vi bør ta med  Clotet også , som utfyller Monk.

Men hittil er ikke èn offisiell kamp spilt. Det er de kampene han vil bli vurdert etter...

Her sier han strengt tatt det samme som alle andre har sagt - i starten...

3) Han har troen på seg selv, trenerteamet og spillerne. Alltid er svaret: "Just like we have planned for!"
Denne fikk en komikkens skjær over seg når han sa dette mht pre season-planleggingen som han uttalte seg så erfaren om. Han har èn pre season som manager...

Det kan i alle fall virke sånn. Så får vi se om det funker i praksis.

Offensivt ser det bra ut (på papiret). Fortsatt trenger vi noe bak. Mht Eklund, der var det vel agenten som uttalte at han ikke var interessert i Championship-fotball, ikke at Leeds trekte seg...


5) Hans taktiske disposisjoner var bra i Swansea. Og vi kunne allerede se resultatene av dette mot Atalanta, der hele spillergruppen deltok i en plan og var veldig bevisste sine roller!

Tja. Har mye av samme godfølelsen for Monk som jeg hadde for Brian McDermott i hans første Pre-season. Det gikk ikke så bra, men hvem kunne egentlig gjort det bedre med geniene fra GHF i ryggen, og en ustabil Cellino seilende inn. Forutsetningene er garantert mye bedre nå, selv med Cellinos svakheter og begrensninger. Liker Monk som type og han fremstår som klok, ydmyk, reflektert i media. Min største skepsis til Monk er fotballfilosofien hans, slik jeg har forstått den så langt. Er redd det kan bli for mye possession og for lite "end product". På den annen side virker det som han har hentet spillere som kan mestre en mer ballbesittende type fotball. Teamet rundt Monk virker også solid.

Gleder meg til sesongstart kjenner jeg!  :)

Leeds United: We’re ready for toughest Championship campaign – Monk
PHIL HAY 11:00 Thursday 04 August 2016 3


Garry Monk.

Garry Monk had the very rare distinction of playing in all of England’s top four divisions. He has spoken in the past about the education he gained from life as a lower-league footballer – of sleeping in his car and grabbing a quick sandwich in between training sessions. Swansea City was nothing like that or not in his latter years with the club and Monk’s approach to management there, his microscopic attention to detail, had no relation to football as he first knew it. One thing remained the same, though: his commitment to the idea that players should buy into the game before buying into the money it earned them.
The Championship falls some way below the extreme wealth of the Premier League, the only division Monk has managed in, but England’s second tier has never been richer or more willing to spend what it can. Derby County raised eyebrows last summer by splashing £6million on Bradley Johnson. In the space of a few days last month, Newcastle United burned almost four times as much on Matt Ritchie and Dwight Gayle. Financially the Championship grows more dramatic, more explosive and more desperate by the year.

Monk, as a coach, is new to the league but his track record as a player, including three years in the Championship with Swansea, meant the task of managing Leeds United did not feel like a leap in the dark. “Things change in football but they don’t change that much,” Monk said. “I haven’t managed in the Championship before but I’ve played in it many, many times and I’ve got experience of every league here. “I know British football and I know what to expect. I know the attitude and the application you need. “It’s a tough league, there’s no doubting that, but nothing in it is going to shock me or the players. We’ve analysed the other clubs and we’ve looked at everything. “We’ll be smart and we’ll be well prepared for what we have to do against different teams. But I’d agree that the Championship is on a different level this season.”
Monk could see himself as one of the reasons why: a former Premier League boss who came down a division in search of his next job. Newcastle retained Rafael Benitez and Aston Villa appointed Roberto Di Matteo. A former title winner in Nigel Pearson is back in the field at Derby. The Championship has as many ex-Champions League winners among its managerial fraternity as England’s top flight. “In terms of coaching, it’s great to be in amongst that,” Monk said.

At the start of pre-season, Monk’s assistant, Pep Clotet, predicted that the 2016-17 campaign would be “one of the most difficult Championship seasons ever”. Monk agreed but sounded pleased about it. “Pep’s right,” he said. “It’s going to be the most competitive we’ve seen. There’s obviously a lot of power behind the three teams who’ve come down and every year I genuinely think there are 12 or 13 clubs who have a chance – clubs who can genuinely compete for three places to get promoted. “We might be talking about even more this time. “That’s the reality of the Championship – all that competition in it and only three places to get promoted. It’s the hardest league in the world to get a promotion from, that’s how I’d describe it, and you’ve got some really high-calibre managers in it this season. That’s a good thing. “It means the league’s on a different level again.
I spent the last few years competing against top managers (at Swansea) and I’d much rather have that challenge. It’s good for you.” Leeds set out this season at lengthy odds of 12/1 to win promotion, a lack of favouritism which might suit Monk as he tries to bed-in at Elland Road in a way which few of his predecessors have.

Steve Evans, who Monk replaced in June, is the longest-serving first-team boss under owner Massimo Cellino with 38 games on his record. As a club, Leeds have eaten through managers at a problematic rate either side of Simon Grayson’s creditable reign. Monk, nonetheless, survived for almost 80 games in a cut-throat Premier League, making a go of a challenging first job in management at Swansea. There were peaks and troughs before a run of one win from 11 games convinced Swansea to sack him last December. “My time at Swansea – I see as 70 games which were fantastic and a 10-game period which found the negatives for me,” Monk said. “I learned lessons from that but I tried to move on very quickly and focus on the next thing ahead of me. “You’ve got to look back on it to some extent but I didn’t want to dwell on it. I always look ahead and I trust what I have to offer.” Leeds, as they did with Uwe Rosler a year ago, put faith in Monk by allowing him to put together a sizeable backroom team, with Clotet as his assistant, James Beattie as first-team coach and Darryl Flahavan as goalkeeping coach.

Monk lost Lewis Cook in a £10m sale to Bournemouth early in pre-season, depriving him of a player who he had specifically talked out of England Under-19 duty in the interests of completing a full pre-season with United, but his squad is markedly different from that left behind by Evans in May. “I’m very happy with the players and the way they’ve been improving,” Monk said. “But I won’t make any predictions because you can never predict anything in this league. You can never say ‘we’ll be this or that this season’ because the league isn’t a formality and it isn’t predictable. “Outsiders can get themselves up there. It’s happened before and it happens because they’ve got a plan, they’ve got players, they’ve got the right attitude and they trust what they’re doing.

“Over the years, many teams who have been fancied haven’t delivered. This season probably won’t be any different, no matter what people think. “Where we’re concerned, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I don’t see this as a short-term thing and words are very easy when it comes to talking about promotion. “But I want the work I do to be good enough to achieve that. “It goes without saying. And I want that to happen as soon as possible.”

TRE REGLER DU MÅ FØLGE UNDER MONK:

Garry Monk was appointed as the Leeds United head coach in the summer.

Leeds United head coach Garry Monk has revealed to The Times the three rules he has explained to his players.

Monk was appointed as the Leeds head coach in the summer following the departure of Steve Evans.

The former Swansea City boss is regarded by many as one of the best young managers in England.

The 37-year-old former central defender is expected by the Leeds fans to make the team competitive enough to challenge for the Championship play-offs this season.

Monk has revealed the three rules he has set his Leeds players that they need to follow thoroughly.


“There are only three rules that I follow, that I’ve explained to the players here and that I hold them to,” Monk told The Times.

“The first is don’t be late for anything; there’s no excuse to be late for anything, even if just out on the pitch or to report for a pre-training session in the gym.

“The second is that you have to give 100 per cent, you’re a professional footballer, there’s no excuse, that’s your job, whether you are in or out of the squad, down, had a bad evening with the missus, it’s your job to give everything you have every single day.

“My last rule is ‘don’t be a . . .’ You can’t really print the word but in more polite terms it’s ‘be a good person’.”




Leeds will kick off their 2016-17 Championship campaign with an away game against Queens Park Rangers.

The Whites will head into the match against QPR at Loftus Road in London with confidence.

The West Yorkshire outfit may not end up all three points from the encounter, but they should be able to earn a draw.

Monk is aiming to build a side to challenge for promotion at Leeds

BRADLEY ORMESHER/THE TIMES
Garry Monk smiled in admiration as he discussed the depth of passion stirred by Leeds United. “We’re taking 3,000 to Loftus Road on Sunday and could probably fill the [18,000-capacity] stadium ourselves,’’ the head coach of the Sky Bet Championship club says. “We had 3,000 fans at every single pre-season game in Ireland — and loads just trying to get into training.”

Monk is aiming to build a side to challenge for promotion at LeedsBRADLEY ORMESHER/THE TIMES


Garry Monk smiled in admiration as he discussed the depth of passion stirred by Leeds United. “We’re taking 3,000 to Loftus Road on Sunday and could probably fill the [18,000-capacity] stadium ourselves,’’ the head coach of the Sky Bet Championship club says. “We had 3,000 fans at every single pre-season game in Ireland — and loads just trying to get into training.”
A special guest at their camp in Dublin was Johnny Giles, a robust, living link with Leeds’s famous past. “I always knew it was a big club,” Monk continues. “My dad’s generation [in the Seventies] were all Leeds fans. It’s the history of the club, going back to those days when they were champions and that generated a whole generation of supporters not just in Leeds, not just countrywide but world-wide.
This place will test me for sure. It’s probably the toughest challenge I’m going to face
“It’s lessened a bit as they’ve declined in recent years but people identify with Leeds as they do with other big clubs. The day I signed, I could straightaway sense even more the size of the club. It’s mammoth. Now being inside it, I realise that if we do get it back to the Premier League, and that’s the ambition, you’ve got your hands on something very special here.
“I love the pressure. The challenge is to take what is already a massive club and put it back on the stage where you’ll feel that support even more. The key is to use the size as a motivation, not a fear.”
Scarcely a month into the role, and following six months out after his sacking by Swansea City, Monk has realised that Leeds’s young squad need reassuring. “Whether in the past the young players have feared that support, especially at Elland Road, which is not an easy place to play. We’re trying to educate players to use it as a motivation, and put that message to the fans as well.”

That desperation to return to the leading league must not spill over into impatience that inhibits some real prospects. Ronaldo Vieira, the 18-year-old midfielder, whose brother Romario plays for Tadcaster Albion, could definitely make a name for himself.
“With those young players we need to support them. They have so much huge potential,” adds Monk, who has just lost one of the academy gems in Lewis Cook to Bournemouth. “The problem for every club outside the Premier League is they’re always going to face those battles, especially with young talented players. You’re always at risk of people coming down and trying to poach your players.”

Yet he emphasises that the owner, Massimo Cellino, is backing him in the transfer market, bringing in the likes of Kemar Roofe and Pablo Hernandez. “We need to strengthen, for sure, and defensively in terms of numbers — but I’m very happy with what I’ve done recruitment-wise,” Monk, 37, says.
He was well aware of Cellino’s reputation for hiring and firing coaches. “I don’t really judge anyone until I meet them,” he says. “I asked him all the questions you would ask and everything he answered I was very happy with. He talked really well. He’s been very supportive. His knowledge was incredible. His knowledge enhanced my liking for the job. I really have enjoyed working with him so far.’’
Yet protests against the deeply unpopular owner rumble on, creating a tense backdrop for the team. “I’m aware of it but it’s not my focus,” Monk admits. “We need to focus on being together. Everyone. It’s the only way. What’s gone on in the past — any divides, any opinions — has not helped anyone. We have to be unified otherwise we won’t get there. At Swansea, we came through three promotions because we were unified — fans, club and players. Any squabbles along the away, we didn’t focus on.
You’re always at risk of people coming down and trying to poach your players
“It’s been great here: the group are very much together. Everyone sits round the same table, not back to back, not small groups. Everyone’s communicating. But this place will test me for sure. It’s probably the toughest challenge I’m going to face. That’s what I want. I don’t want to be that manager who goes around the lower league clubs. I’m here to prove a point.”
A much-loved leader of the team, Monk initially impressed as Swansea manager when appointed in 2014, but a poor run last season led to his dismissal last December. “Taking the Swansea job, the two years, everything was so quick; my twins were born, my first manager’s job, a player one day, then a manager in the highest league and in at the deep end — all those things are a lot for a young manager to take on. Over 95 per cent I did really well. I believe in my own ability. I know what I can do. I’m happy with my managerial career,” he says.

Cellino, the Leeds owner, has been “very supportive”, according to MonkDANIEL HAMBURY/EMPICS SPORT/PA

“I never wanted it [the dismissal] to happen but I used the time well. It’s good to spend time with my family, and I also went skiing — a few bumps — and then reflected properly on management. It was great. I went to Sevilla and spoke to Unai [Emery, now at Paris Saint-Germain]. I highly respect him as a manager. I looked at the preparations he did for games, the physical drills.
“I spoke to Ryan Jones [the Wales rugby international]. I had a contact with Ospreys over the years being at Swansea, and spoke to them in depth. I spoke to a tennis coach I knew. It was more physical things, drills for training. I feel a better manager now then I ever was at Swansea. I’m a hard worker, demanding, but I’m more relaxed now.
“I value honesty and hard work but then there’s the other side of me, the intellectual side, studying the game, all those marginal gains.”
He introduced “hotel pods” at Swansea so players could rest between training sessions. “You have to be that modern manager, but I also have old-school values to impart to young players who are in a different society to what I grew up in.
I wouldn’t say I’m strict, I’d say I’m fair. I was a little terror but my parents were always fair with me
“There are only three rules that I follow, that I’ve explained to the players here and that I hold them to. The first is don’t be late for anything; there’s no excuse to be late for anything, even if just out on the pitch or to report for a pre-training session in the gym.
“The second is that you have to give 100 per cent, you’re a professional footballer, there’s no excuse, that’s your job, whether you are in or out of the squad, down, had a bad evening with the missus, it’s your job to give everything you have every single day.
“My last rule is ‘don’t be a . . .’ You can’t really print the word but in more polite terms it’s ‘be a good person’.
“I wouldn’t say I’m strict, I’d say I’m fair. I was a little terror but my parents were always fair with me. I’ve got three little terrors now — I’m being paid back. I knew when I was in the wrong. I took that into football.” His education was assisted by players he encountered in his formative years. At Torquay I had good old school pros [like Chris Waddle].
“Coming to Southampton, I had old school pros: Franny Benali, Jason Dodd, Ken Monkou, Claus Lundekvam, Carlton Palmer, David Hirst and Mark Hughes at the end of his career. I had Andrei Kanchelskis and Dan Petrescu, who’d seen everything and put those old values into us as young kids. All the things we talk about that are wrong with the academy [system now] we had the proper side of it. I know some of it would now be classed as bullying but it made us men.

“The players here are all taking on new ideas. I want them to be adaptable. A team who can play counterattack, play front-foot football, be aggressive, can press high, can press medium, and all know what they are doing, that’s the hardest team to prepare against. If we change after 20 minutes, at half-time, everyone knows their roles. At Swansea I felt we didn’t have a Plan B. I made us more adaptable.”
It is easy to forget that Monk is so young he was still playing less than two years ago. He is from that generation of players stepping into management who are financially secure. “I’d be the same person whether I was financially OK or not,” he says. “I’m driven.” It was only a year ago he was being talked of as a future England manager.
“What is good with the media is you want to see British managers. It is for us as British managers to make the right steps, the right improvements and to show everyone what we’re capable of,” he says. “Foreign coaches and foreign investment are of massive importance to the product the Premier League is: the most entertaining league in the world. So let’s not blame foreigners [for restricting opportunities for home-grown coaches].
“Let’s take it on ourselves. If we’re good enough we will get the opportunities. Eddie [Howe] is doing very well, Sam [Allardyce] as well. Darrell Clarke at Bristol Rovers had a great year. Gary Rowett at Birmingham had a good year. We are all fighting to get to the promised land of the Premier League. Sean Dyche has gone back up there. We have to prove ourselves

Tydeligvis en bedre snakker enn preperatør, Monken. Talk is cheap!

Very horrible start! Wtf har man brukt Pre-sesong til????? QPR var minst en divisjon bedre enn oss.
Taktisk blundert med startellever og formasjon. Possession my ass...På tvers og bakover skal ikke et fotballag bygges. Verste start siden 81 og det sier ganske mye.

* fortsatt sjokkert og forbannet ver den førsteomgangen *

Lenge igjen til man kan felle noen dom over Gary Monk.

Et førsteinntrykk kan man dog bare gi en gang.

Her er  mitt:

1. Forundret over hva pre-season er brukt til. Er vi for tunge? Eller har vi ikke fått riktig matching? Vi var ikke klare for championship søndag kl 1300.

2. Bom på laguttak.

3. Har du gjort riktige grep på transfermarkedet? Kan bli en forstyrrende faktor å hente inn en Green som vel omtrent er på nivå med Silvestri. Burde hentet inn en klar førstekeeper om han skulle forsterke der. Kan bli usikkerhet på keeperplass. Som flere før han har han ikke klart å kanalisere og løse midtstopperplass. Vi så IKKE bedre organisert ut enn tidligere. Som jeg har gjentatt til det kjedsommelige, vi mangler midtstoppersjefen som gjerne er kaptein.

Men det er early days.

Kan jo svare på punkt #1 Kato.
Monk har vel sagt at peaken kommer etter et par runder. Tipper beina er litt tunge ennå.
Så er spm om dette er lurt i forhold til Cellino. Time will show.

Håper og tror at vi knuser Fleetwood imorgon.

Starten er viktig. Det er så mye tyngre når vi begynner nede å nervene kommer. Så håper vi tar en 89/90, der vi startet med 2-5 mot Newcastle. Fleetwood i morgen ble plutselig litt viktigere med tanke på selvtillit.
