Bit of a myth this one for me. Yes the first season MC brought in a lot of
players from Italy (not necessarily Italian) but since then - not single
Italian that I recallLast close season - with Rosler- we bought 3 'proven'
Champ players in Wood, Dallas and Adeyemi (all good on paper / in theory) since
then he added Bridcutt and Diagouara - again proven Champ players
Italian wise we only had 3 last season - Silvestri, Bellusci and Antenucci .
Now all have their detractors but equally all have shown, on occasion that they
are good at this level.
As for forcing players - the opposite was true with regards Antenucci who was
basically 'banned' from playing at the end of last season (2 seasons ago)
It could be argued that Bellusci has been forced on managers but, to me ,
mainly by the fact that Bamba and Cooper have so often let us down and needed
dropping (Bellusci has come in and done the same to be fair)
Just seen the presser with Monk - same as McD, Rosler, Evans et al, he talks a
good game - 'great club, great fans, great history etc etc, honour to be here,
bring back glory, give us something to be excited by ..........I have heard it
so often I could have said it all myself
Seems to be a one year rolling contract so that seems decent from both sides
point of view - lets just hope he does well enough to keep that contract
rolling and rolling.
We claim to have sold 13k season tickets, will Monks signature encourage others
to join them only time will tell

I don't think it really matters who is in charge. He'll have dodgy Italian
players forced on him and will almost certainly be out before Christmas.
