Terry Henry.

I feel there is a lot of posts on this thread that are not really necessary

[eamonn]

Fitting given the thread title is of a makey-uppey character.

When he got the Monaco job, I heard a French journalist on the radio saying he'd be surprised if Henry became a success as a manager as he cut quite a cold and isolated figure as a player, wasn't really a people person, which seems to be half the battle as a modern day manager.

The richest irony being it was a perfectly reasonable and constructive comment by Aftab to commend an apology, to reinforce the positive.

Likewise Clampy’s comment a wondrous parallel to office round robin emails that complain about people hitting reply all...by hitting reply all.

Anyway I still trust Dean. Tel H might need to drop a bit lower now to earn his stripes...

Pity TH is on his way out of Monaco.  I had an excellent letter to him drafted complaining about the dearth of decent chip shops in Monte Carlo.  I was REALLY looking forward on our rebirth to travelling with our fans and singing "Monte Carlo, what a shit hole".

I have to say, if I were a Monaco fan, I would be asking what the point of hiring Henry was to be honest. Not really necessary IMO.

From the Guardian reports of Monaco matches,this does seem to be his problem.

Apologies.

Well done Villa75 for apologising on your part....

Not sure what the point of that post is to be honest. Not really necessary.

I get that Brian. A couple of years ago whilst sitting in Cafe de Paris making my everso "reasonable priced" ice cream last about an hour I couldn't help but think what this square needs is a Wetherspoons and Poundstretcher to make is complete.

Monaco is a right shithole if you ask me.  Looks like the roughest bit of Salford with all the high rises, except in Monaco they go for about £10m each.

Thank you Martin.  I was being ironic.  My tribe and I (we were camping in the hinterland) were once ordered by the Gendarmerie Monegasque not to look over the wall at the Casino.

I wasn't, it's horrible. That coastline is lovely, but spoilt by Monaco and all its concrete monstrosities.  Most of the people there are twats as well.  Not the Monégasques, who I'm sure are mostly great, but the ex-pats, who mostly aren't.

A European football journalist the other day summed up his time at Monaco and why he didn't succeed.

1. During the warm ups instead of watching and advising he played like he was still actually playing, taking the piss with his tricks etc.
2. Against PSG, apparently he was laughing and joking with MBappe and others instead of concentrating on his own team's warm up giving the impression he didn't care.
3. Regular petulant touchline reactions to players cocking up or officials or just generally.

Everything we suspected would happen.  A bullet dodged.
