Zatman Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 3 minutes ago, Keyblade said: What did he do? Quote Garry Monk says he is considering legal action over allegations made against him and his agent by former clubs Birmingham, Leeds and Middlesbrough. It is claimed that, while manager of the three Championship clubs, Monk wanted agent James Featherstone to be involved in their transfer deals. Monk, 40, has now issued a statement via the League Managers' Association. "My lawyers are currently reviewing false and unsubstantiated accusations across all statements," he said. Following Monk's sacking by Blues on 18 June, City chief executive Xuandong Ren claimed there had been a dispute relating to the use of Monk's agent in "all" of their transfer deals. Monk said then that he would not reply to "certain disappointing comments" from the club. But there have since been similar allegations made by Middlesbrough and Leeds owner Massimo Cellino, who said he banned Featherstone from his club. Monk, who started his managerial career with Swansea City in February 2014, now says he feels "strongly compelled" to have issued his statement. He insisted that neither he nor Featherstone are guilty of any wrongdoing. "It is disappointing enough that private, confidential and legally privileged correspondence between Middlesbrough and my lawyers has been passed to a number of publications," he said. "It is no coincidence that the leaking of this correspondence follows the recent termination of my employment with Birmingham. "And comments made by that club which appear to have triggered Middlesbrough's attempts to revive their unmeritorious allegations against me by way of media conjecture and speculation. "The latest individual to add to the media circus is Massimo Cellino. "I can confirm that his comments have no basis in truth whatsoever." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48914375 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Surprised Dan Cowley has taken the Huddersfield job. Done amazing things at Lincoln last few years and they've started the league one season very well. Huddersfield have won about two games in a year. I get the bigger potential stuff but tell that to Nathan Jones who left a fantastic Luton set up to go to Stoke team who couldn't win and he's going to be sacked in next few weeks. Hope Cowley dosen't go same way as he seems a likeable guy from the interviews I've seen of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 When your stock is high you have to take the chance, even if the club is a shambles. Your a bad few months from being a bright young coach to being on the scrapheap in this country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones doesn't take that chance at the time it might not come around again. If he stayed at Luton his head might not of been in it and subsequently they might not of went up. Glad Cowley has got this gig. Him and his brother have an unbelievable work ethic from what ive read. He'll need it when he gets to work with Elphick Edited September 9, 2019 by Johnnyp Mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought at any point we'd go down given we still had Kodjia and Adomah in good form at the time but it was certainly a struggle down here first season.

VillaChris Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Aren't Derby being investigated for selling their stadium to their owner? That's the sort of thing we can get away with in the premier league bubble but would imagine would be serverly looked at back in the championship.
