Garry Monk

[Blobbers]

Just been appointed new manager of Birmingham.
Will he do well?

[CroydonCaptainJack]

He's got his work cut out

[qpr]

Would of been very good for us

[acricketer]

Him and Chris Colman will be battling in league 1 next season.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

He's a neither here nor there manager for me.

Just ticks along. Nothing special. New manager boost should help them stay up though.

[topperharley]

Rode the Brendan Rodgers/Laudrup wave at Swansea, inherited a good side playing good football and gradually regressed them.

Typical 'he's a prem manager' reputation.

He's not necessarily crap, but has proved nothing.

[West Acton]

Fair play to him for taking job with big risk of them dropping as many would have avoided so does show he’s willing to put his name on the line in an effort to keep learning his trade. Surely he will have break clause in event they drop or perhaps he just does want to learn

Fourth club in two years I think so going get reputation for always being on the move

[WeAreQPR12]

Personally think he's showing himself to be a tad naive. You never join a club that's been managed by redknapp. Can't see him turning it around.

[dave58]

tough job to get them out of the mire probably going down and looking to next season

[bakes8]

If they survive he will get money in the summer to build a side I guess. They're rolling in it.

Massive job to keep them up though. Well done Harry.

[Shepherds Mush]

Just an egotistical pr*ck who should have stayed at Leeds and actually prove he is a decent manager.

They're going down and so is his reputation.

The question, would you have Mccarthy has been asked, so how about Monk?

Has he just not found a club that suits him?... Ive always said it about our squad that imho we have the talent to be top end of this league. Just need to be managed properly (formation/players in right positions/use of subs etc). Do reckon Monk couldve been that manager?

He's got his work cut out

Was about to say the same mate. Poisoned chalice that job. Rowett was doing a half decent job with a very limited group of players, the 3 managers since have been pretty dreadful. I think they've really got a squad of misfits, a legacy of too many managerial changes in a short period of time. Would be a very impressive feat if Monk was able to get them playing and keep them up.

That said, those sides at the bottom are picking up so few points that 2 wins on the bounce would make things look totally different. So you never know, far stranger things have happened!

[davieqpr]

Talks a good game but wherever he goes he leaves under a cloud. His reputation is bigger than what is warranted. He will land up blaming everyone else if it goes wrong so has nothing to lose. Popular with the fans but then they did hail Redknapp as the next Messiah.

[corbray]

i think monk is getting a lot of stick for no reason. personally i've always viewed him as a good up and coming manager, he did a decent job at swansea up until his sacking at at middlesbrough he was sacked because gibson thought that brough's players were more suited to defensive type football rather than the attacking style that monk likes to play.

he hasn't really had a proper chance to spend time at a club to really show what he can do but his results and league finishes have always been pretty consistent
