It’s not Monty but this from Scott Burns is a lot of pish

“He inherited a squad that was bottom of the table, was bloated and a wage budget that had been well blown.

'Monty' had to slash the wage bill…”

Monty got Marcondes and Maolida in the January and lost no one of note
Yeah, nothing against Monty as I think he’s probably a really decent guy but I’m not sure that article is really reflective of his time here.

I may be wrong and the article could be right but I don’t think we were bottom of the league when he joined? I thought we were about 8th or 9th and we finished 8th?

You also can’t on one hand talk about the club being skint and having no money and then in the same breath talk about the signings of Marcondes and Maolida.

The final thing that got me was saying not making the top 6 was the final straw, it wasn’t, he got a vote of confidence from the board after that. The final straw was the team totally downing tools after that, compare to the team if this season who fought and scrapped to ensure the manager kept his job.

Good luck to Monty, I hope he gets another job soon and does well, he wasn’t a good fit for us or Scottish football though. I suspect the fact he’s doing this interview and the other Spurs coach leaving to join West Brom means Postecoglu will be on his way soon.
