The Swansea City captain was referring to claims by the Nottingham Forest manager who has often complained about how little money he has to spend.<\/p>\n
Yet Forest have 5 players in their ranks that cost £1m or more and Robert Earnshaw – as pointed out by the Western Mail – cost more (£3m) than the entire squad that Rodgers will field in today's crunch game.<\/p>\n
Monk told the Western Mail “He is one of those managers who bemoans not having any money, but he’s probably got six of the best forwards in the league <\/p>\n
“He spent millions on just his full-backs and plenty of money throughout the rest of the team.<\/p>\n
“So I don’t quite know what he is moaning about, maybe he should come here and try it.<\/p>\n
“They are a good, talented squad and with the fans they’ve got they will always be up there challenging.<\/p>\n
“If they don’t make it or challenge every season it’s probably seen as a failure.<\/p>\n
“I would love to have those sorts of resources, but we haven’t had it for a long time and we just get on with it,” added Monk.<\/p>\n
“If we get where we want to be we can have all those things for generations to come.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
