Jenkins must be kicking himself right now on 12:52 - Feb 12 by thereisnospoon | these stats are so skewed and nitpicked to make Laudrup look bad. you might as well just do some bs like "games won under Laudrup where we won despite scoring no goals: 0" what a load of rubbish |
eh? They show that Laudrup was brilliant until the cup win and pretty much garbage afterwards (yes, yes I know, insert reason, excuse, reason). Surely we all know this don't we? Disclaimer: I'm not pro or anti Laudrup or pro or anti Monk. No fanboys or detractors of either can change the results though. | ![](/images/avatars/9539.gif) |

Jenkins must be kicking himself right now on 13:09 - Feb 12 with 3302 views | SkipTheJack | Who knows how Koeman would have done here? He would have faced the same problems of dressing room cliques, trouble-makers and disinterested, sulky star players that Monk has handled very well. Make no mistake, without careful management we could easily have gone down last season and could easily be bottom of the table this year. People choose to compare our current position with that of Southampton, but may be better off looking at what happened to Cardiff after they sacked Mackay. They were 1 point above relegation back then, compared to our 2 points above relegation when we appointed Monk, and they are now anxiously looking at the relegation spots to League One! | ![](/images/avatars/8734.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Can't put all the blame on Laudrup. The players knew that we save in the league and already qualified for Europe so where was the incentive to go that extra yard? Managers get crap all the time, he is one person there are 17 other players in a match day squad that should share that responsibility sometimes. | ![](/images/avatars/8769.gif) |

Jenkins must be kicking himself right now on 12:55 - Feb 12 by thereisnospoon | and plus you didn't even do your math right. right now for the 14/15 season Monk's got 34 points from 25 games. that's 1.36 points/game (34/25), not 1.43 |
those were posted before the end of the match last night. Anyhow, Monmouth called it right as usual. Nothing wrong with those stats; they just prove that in terms of results ML lost the plot. Shame and I didn't enjoy it, but true. For me, that half season and cup win will always be remembered. We may never beat that again. The home West Brom match was possibly as good a performance I've ever seen and Laudrup should be remembered for that, not the way it ended.

Blimey, you must remember?. Or is this jus a case of having the hump at what someone has posted? In a nutshell, it was like now, without having the S'ton performance grit, but had gone on for twice as long. We really don't need to go over the end of ML's time anymore. It was painful, it was lackadaisical, his time had come. Way *may* be going in the same way, but there are signs the team are more united/organised/focussed. Maybe I'm completely wrong and we're doomed, but that's the way I see it. | ![](/images/avatars/9866.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I can't wait until we have a Laudrup performance for once.. we've been lacking that Michu or JDG magic or that Pablo brilliance.. we've been missing our marauding Ben Davies at full back.. I would've loved to have seen this team on song. Fabianski Rangel..Fernandez..Williams..Davies Ki..JDG Pablo..Gylfi..Montero Michu.

Jenkins must be kicking himself right now on 11:36 - Feb 12 by jruss1 | Most people dismissed Koeman as an option because he’s the big name ex player that had caused us problems before (Not just Laudrup but Sousa as well). Huw was absolutely right not to employ for this reason alone, and 90% of this board agreed with it at the time. |
Yup, that's how I remember it. At the time most seemed reluctant to have another ex star player managing us. Hindsight is great but... | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Can't remember many fans playing down the prospect. Jenkins obviously didn't want another big name in the managers chair to deal with. That's why we ended up with Monk. Question is are we always going to be running from big reputations from here on in? | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

In hindsight you can see why, he probably realised that Koeman would want to spend £76m, that alone would have given HJ a heart attack. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Why would Koeman want to spend £76m? He had a lot of key players to replace at Southampton. He wouldn't have here. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

Jenkins must be kicking himself right now on 17:28 - Feb 12 with 2078 views | giantstoneater | The big challenge for Monk and the Board was to keep hold of Wilf, Gomis was brought in because they expected Wilf to go pre-season he didn't so that left Le Sulk with a big sad on. HJ and the Boards big mistake was that they failed to assess what an unreliable unloyal and money driven man that is Gomis they have compounded that by not signing another striker and also another wide man with all our wide men failing to deliver at present. Are the squad up for the rest of the season or are they going to make the same mistakes as they did under Laudrup. | ![](/images/avatars/9531.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'm not sure that we'll see Leon much again. Monk has said twice now that he is fit and fine but not even on the bench ahead of Fulton. I'm surprised there hasn't been more anguished gnashing of teeth to be honest. | ![](/images/avatars/9539.gif) |
