Slim pickings, but Monk probably best shout. Relieved it's not Pearson. Reaction from Leeds fans making me feel better about it #Boro #UTB

Why are #lufc fans even calling Monk a snake? They only offered him a poxy 1 year deal and it ended. Great move for us #boro

Probably the best man available. A young, English and hardworking manager. Look forward to seeing what he can do. #Boro #UTB https://t.co/l1j1PYZGSr

Cautiously optimistic about Garry Monk. Happy for brutal football to get us back up. Good to be back to appointing young English talent too. https://t.co/d1VrV8jj8N

Garry Monk's latest move makes much more sense than last one. Boro's a big club, plenty of resources + good squad which will suit his style.
