It surprises me to be even contemplated, as it would mean (a) the Swansea hierarchy effectively having to admit they got it wrong by sacking him in the first place and (b) Monk going from 'Championship Chump' to the Premier League (for a few months at least!) in a few surreal days!

Did we not do the same with Slade regarding taking a manager from a lower division. At least Monk does have some experience in the Premier.

I agree (on the experience bit) but the way Monk left was not the most positive, so I'm thinking why would they want to choose him again? I (sort of) understand Monk wanting to go back and show them what they missed but equally I don't think he is the answer. In fact, I think only Tony Pulis would have a genuine chance of the lot mentioned, so maybe (form a Cardiff perspective) Monk is the answer! LOL

Must admit it does not seem a good bet for the Jacks to take him back.
Perhaps their board is thinking of the time when they were in a similar situation and that was when we were involved in it. It was Monks debut games I think against us and they thrashed us 3-0. We never recovered from that.
