He has no previous experience of managing, no contacts and best of all, can't spell his first name!
This is a real risk by the board and is likely to divide the fans and dressing room as soon as the going gets tough, which it will!
Only months ago. He was involved with a training ground spat featuring the pantomime villain Chico Flores.
And he was photographed with Huey Jenkov in a red top. Apparently, it is lucky. Lololol

It was Neil Taylor not Ben Davies.
Also, the reports I've read such as http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27333349 quote him as saying he'll sit down with Monk, no mention of the chairman.
But there's no reason why he wouldn't sit down with the chairman following that meeting if he decided his future lay elsewhere as that is what players would normally do.
As for Jenkins refusing to sanction players, that is absolutely his right as he (and the board) will have the final say on whether to release club funds to purchase a player, which is as it should be.

I feel sorry for Taylor. Other than baines and shaw there are few better left backs in premier league than Ben Davies. If taylorvwas at 16 other teams he'd have played 35 games this season.
Hope for his sake that he gets more games next season. I'd suspect that Swansea would cash in on Davies and keep him.
