I agree, the recruitment process does, from the outside, look poor.
Your second point is mute though, plenty of examples of long term managers keeping a squad fresh. | |

My tuppence worth.
Garry clearly has potential. He has overseen some cracking performances, most notably popping Benitez's Napoli over 2 legs which we would have won if we'd taken our chances. He's also had some lows with "tactical" naivety.
Is the Premier League the place to do an accelerated apprenticeship? Probably not but let's remember that Garry hasn't recruited any players yet.
Let's wait until July/August when the recruitment and backroom staff are finalised before we start to make any judgement on him. | |

Emnes has been reasonably decent to be fair, don't think there will be many moaning if he signs as a squad player, he probably won't put much strain on the funds either.
I know what you mean though.  | |

Innit strengthening the Central midfield area seems to have been ignored, Canas has never been the answer for me. [ducks for cover] | |

Sure we have put in some good performances like Napoli, but on reflection many of those came early on in Monk's tenure.
As I see it one of the disturbing things is that the level of performance has been deteriorating especially in recent games even thought the requisite points have come in. For example although I missed Villa I thought we were really poor against Newcastle and very lucky indeed to steal the points, and yesterday was just dire. And before all that there was WBA, Palace, Hull. . .
You want to chuck out the basic tenets of decision making and wait for the end of preseason to make an objective assessment of Monk's prospects be my guest, but by then you are fully committed; not very clever is it? | |

I believe it to be the case for many. By no means all or even a majority, but a far larger minority than you'd like to believe, in my ever so humble opinion. | |

Exactly we are playing with the big boys now. Agents will throw names at us daily, it's finding the right ones for the right team/squad balance | | | |

I should clarify that we, as outsiders with little knowledge cannot really judge, sorry Shaky I should have made that more clear 
It would be interesting to see what criterion have been used to make the decision and what the strategy in the short, medium and long term are. I think that perhaps we should cut the board some slack as they have undoubtedly been a unanimous success, and I'd also like to think that should anything untoward be going on that our trust (as a major shareholder) would certainly have major input to prevent any meglomainaism (is that a word ?
) which would damage the growth and development of the club over the next 5 years. | |

don't know how much the opinions expressed on here represent the opinions of the whole fan base, is it proportional?
I would really like to know why the board think that garrys the boy for the job. It might be that he has some big plans for the club which would settle our nerves but the manner in which the appointment has been granted is not at all professional much like the sacking of Michael L.
I watched Sean Dyce Burnleys manager talk about things like this, he said that he told the board to come out and speak to the fans and tell them they were skint and as a result had to make certain decisions as a result the fans knew where they were.
Maybe the board need to speak to the fans we don't want a situation like in Cardif or Newcastle with fans displaying flags, that really don't help the moral of the players on the field.
I thought the trust had a proportional opinion into choosing players/managers etc. | | | |

i realise that
but does it represent a proportional view of the whole fan base | | | |

Well like everyone says I will support Garry but all I can think right now is I really hope he proves me wrong. | | | |

Undoubtedly not a machine, but equally the term man is certainly overstating the case. | |

Huw Jenkins and the board have seen enough from Monk since February in terms of his management ability and potential, to be able to offer him a contract for two years.With the right support behind him, I am confident, having seen our team perform since February, that he will make a success of it. How we measure success though is open to debate. What are his expectations and targets for next season? To finish 17th or above? Will that satisfy fans and the board? It should but the bar was raised last season by Michael Laudrup, who appeared from the outside to lose some motivation this season, strangely.
In football, the appointment of a manager will always be a gamble. Monk has 10 years at this club and knows it inside out. The chairman knows he is committed and can rally the troops and create the right atmosphere. Garry will need a good team around him as that can make a manager. If he can get that right we will be fine but we do need to make a lot of changes both on and off the pitch in readiness for next season. | |
