Will Monk be any good at Boro ?

[life on mars]

But what sort of job did he do for the Jacks and Leeds ? Is that as good as he can get ?

In his first role and game he beat the might Cardiff 3–0
Finished second in their Europa League Group behind Valencia.
Survived relegation.
Took Jacks to 8th in Premiership with a record points tally
Turned ordinary Leeds side into a competitive one.
Resigned with pride
Now Boro
England beckons
Still only 38 ?

With this one you should be saying who he finished ahead rather than 2nd best to. Cardiff City could finish second to Real Madrid but if the other teams in the qualification group are Canton under 12's and Thurrock FC then finishing second to Real Madrid doesn't mean much.

Monk had a little bit of a personal meltdown when it got tough at Swansea but leaving Leeds with reputation in tack (and enhanced) from his next job shows some character. He is not a bad manager, if a gobby, little sh!t of one.

Yep.

It's a case of if they have patience with him.

I seem to remember, that early in last season, IF, we would have beaten them at home, it was rumoured, that he would be "sacked in the morning"

I dislike the smug faced tw^t, but you got to admit, he did well last season.

Lets hope, he starts off, like he did last season and Boro fans get on his case.

Allegedly there were backroom issues at Swansea involving a player , a wife and a director , and it split the club badly .

IMHO that was more due to OGS than Monk
