I honestly think he'd be far better off at a less high profile club. Learn his trade properly and go from there. Good luck to him though. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Taking the club to an 8th place finish and doing the double over a lot of the bigger teams in the league certainly put him on the map. | ![](/images/avatars/18474.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Monk inherited a rather nice talented cache of 'family-silver' i.e. playing squad courtesy of previous mangers! He then went about his work to systematically destroy (albeit not overnight) a fantastic playing style/system in the process. How the f#ck could that guy and his back-room team-of-managerial-impostors ever possibly rebuild a team to go upwards? Give him two years at LUFC and they'll end up with in an even worse state than the one he initially started his job with. | ![](/images/avatars/10633.gif) |

Both occasions count. The 8th place finish show's he has the potential to be a good manager. This season showed he still has a lot to learn. Jose Mourinho would struggle at Leeds. | ![](/images/avatars/18474.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That's a weird one. He pretty much is Michael Laudrup in the way he enhanced his reputation with us in the first season and then trashed it straight after, Laudrup was linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid after his first season, Monk with West Ham and England. Now Laudrup manages in the desert and Monk would be lucky to get any managerial job in the Championship. Don't take reasonable criticism of Monk as Laudrup fandom, you couldn't be further from the truth. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Michael Laudrup a.ongside Toshack the most successful manager we have ever had, and for silverware and Europe he ranks the best for me. | ![](/images/avatars/19328.gif) |

Yes, if you look at it from afar. When you look at it properly, as any Swans fan should be able to, and you would expect anyone (even from Leeds) appointing a manager to do - it's fairly apparent that when he carried on playing the way we had for the best part of a decade with players that were already in place, he was very successful. When he brought his own players in and got them playing the way he wanted, he failed. As far as I'm aware, Leeds don't have the kind of foundation for him to go in and keep doing what already works. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Failed? Initial success, followed by failure, surely? Just like the vast majority of other managers who do well initially till it goes wrong and they get sacked. Mourinho, for example. You can't just dismiss the initial success on the basis of what happened later, which rightly got him the sack. | ![](/images/avatars/8641.gif) |
