Monk >>
Понеделник Октомври 25 - 17:29 A shell-shocked Monk appeared before reporters after fans had jeered his Melchester team at half time and most had left before the final whistle in a 0-4 defeat to arch rivals Seaburn.
"It's my darkest hour" confessed Monk, "I won't give up though as there's too much still to do. I don't consider myself too old for the job. I started in management aged 45 in season 6, so that makes me what, 101? I only feel half that age though. The way I see it we have three problems, we aren't scoring enough,we concede too many and get too many injuries. Once that is sort we'll be back where we belong, in third place."
Asked about Monk's future, Roy Race was quite forthright. "The way I see it," said Roy, "there are good managers and bad managers. Good managers make good decisions and bad managers make bad decisions. Occasionally good managers make bad decisions admittedly, and even bad managers make some good ones, as even a broken click is right twice a day. As owner, I need to be a good decision maker. Good owners don't sack good managers. So Monk's job is safe. Unless of course he fails to qualify for Europe at the end off the season. With that squad that would make him a bad manager and he'd have to go."
No pressure then.
