Firstly, well done on staying up - top effort!
Looks like Garry Monk is heading to Boro ... so how do you rate him from his time in charge of The Swans?
He will be given time and money by our Chairman Steve Gibson so will have every chance of being a success ... if he's good enough.

Monk did a fantastic job here. Especially considering his lack of experience. Steadied the ship that was sinking and then in his only full season here got us up to an 8th place finish, our highest yet in the Premier League and quite incredible when you look at the opposition.
Has done a great job at Leeds who have had their best season for 15 years. Undoubtedly one of the brightest young managers in the game. |

Worse football ( so called ) I have ever seen the Swans play under Monk, never had I been so bored watching the Swans in my lifetime. It was so bad that against Spurs I nearly walked home at half time but the wife talked me into staying. Wish I hadn't |  |

Are you Foooking serious???
I get sick and tired of reading/hearing sh!t like this.
Another on here posted "he's a legend".... Sorry not in my eyes he ain't.
But lets give credit where it's due, he was a tidy league one player, coped to some degree in the championship, but was totally out of his depth in the Premier League.
Of course he will always be remembered for THE BLOCK that helped us out of a hole at Wembley, but to call the guy a legend, give me a break..... I recall watching him away at Southampton, thinking wtf is he doing out there... Then there was the night at B'ham in the cup, where I and all around me were saying if we never saw him in a Swans shirt again, it would be too soon!!!
Now let's not even get started on his managerial time here. All anyone needs to know is, he single handedly destroyed our way of playing. As someone correctly pointed out if things worked it was I and if it went wrong it was we or us or even them.
He may well develope into a top manager but I certainly wouldn't ever want him back here.....
Honestly, it's disrespectful to the real modern day legends of this club, Guys like Robbie (RIP), Curt's and of course, the legend in waiting that is Leon.
No Garry did a job, played his part in getting us back to the top flight. But legend.....
Not a chance. |  | | |

Trust me mate, you can do much, much better than him.
From what I've read on your forums, lots of you were bored with Karanka's tactics.
Well I reckon you'll all be wishing for his return soon enough if Monk arrives ....
Good luck next season either way.... 👠| | | |

Some are being nice because of what he did as a player.
If he was here solely as a manager, there wouldn't be many saying nice things. |  | | |

As a player he was a club legend. His toe got us to the premier league and for that he will always be remembered.
Sh*t went way south in that second season though. Our passing style dried up, we recruited poorly and he obviously lost the dressing room. In the end, the only mistake was not sacking him sooner.
Swans fans only deal in absolutes pal. Try coming on here after we lose a game. It's hell. |  | | |

Our "attacking" record last season included some interesting stats.
Lowest scorers of the 92 League clubs.
Lowest shots on target of the 92 League clubs.
Failed to score in 18 out of 38 League games.
Only scored 3 or more goals in a game once all season (ironically at home to The Swans)
Won 1 of our last 20 games (and that a scrappy 1-0 home win against Sun***land).
Scored 3 goals in the last 10 games under Karanka. | | | |

If you want goals buddy, I hear the American legend Bob Bradley is still available
You'll score every game
...granted you'll also guarantee conceding 3 every game, especially to the lowest scoring team out of the 92 clubs ;) but he could talk himself out of the paper bag and will bring some arrogant, deluded yank soccer fans to your club
In all seriousness though, I used to love Monk, and as much as people slate him on here, the majority were calling him a manager in the making during his playing days. Those same people are the saying the same about Rangel now. It's just a shame he completely changed our identity, and ever since we've been struggling to stay in the league.
All I'll say is... you can do better, but the heart wants what the heart wants [Post edited 28 May 2017 8:47]

Admittedly, hardly saw any of his Leeds games this season, but was clueless when his plan a failed whilst he was here.
Other point i wanted to make is why the hell walesonline decides to post a story or 2 about him daily? Really annoys me because he's not welsh and he's not associated to the club anymore, who from its readership really gives a toss? | | | |

When Boro beat Swansea 3-0 at The Riverside the vast majority of Boro fans (and probably The Swans fans) left the stadium thinking that we were sure to finish above you at the end of the season.
We were 5 points ahead with a better goal difference, had just convincingly beaten one of our fellow relegation contenders and had fairly recently drawn away to Arsenal, Man City and Leicester (we conceded a penalty with the last kick of the match) ... and you had the deluded Bob Bradley as Manager!
However we put the car radio on travelling home and in his post match interview Karanka said it was Boro's worst performance of the season! It went downhill from that moment on. The match was played on 17th December and we subsequently "amassed" 10 points out of the remaining 63 until the end of the season. Swansea finished 13 points above Boro with a better goal difference.
Ask any Boro fan about this season and that Swansea home win is nearly always quoted as the oasis in a desert of mediocrity and it deteriorated from thereon in. | | | |

You'd probably be better off asking Leeds fans mate to be honest.
When he came in here, the squad was talented enough but on its arse after the Laudrup era ended sourly. Garry was exactly the right man at the right time. The squad was talented enough, but needed a bit of inspiration. He wasn't good enough for PL football, but had been a great captain for us up until that point and had the players behind him. What we then saw was an elongated version of the Tim Sherwood effect. Some great results through motivation, hard work and having a good set of players to pick from, which gradually deteriorated into ego, followed by abandoning our football philosophy, getting worked out and being so tactically inflexible that everyone knew how we were going to set out, we even knew how they would successfully counter our tactics, but we just went ahead and did it anyway. Eventually, his position became untenable.
In fairness, he lasted the best part of 2 seasons. In his only whole season, our football became much more pragmatic, we had individual entertainers and goal scorers, rather than the passing style that had got us where we are, but we still finished 8th and scored some great goals.
He undoubtedly made some huge mistakes here, but he was thrust from being a squad player winding down his career to a PL manager job. I thought he would fall flat on his face at Leeds, but he looks to have done very well. Hopefully, he has learned from his time here and will do well in the future. I'd be gutted if he came back though. | | | |

OP here. Thanks for all the feedback.
Monk is going to be announced as our next Manager at 4.00 p.m. today.
Hardly a vote of confidence on this forum from the comments but time will tell either way of course how it pans out at Boro.
Anyway enjoy the Summer and best of luck for 2017/18. | | | |
