But look what Garry has achieved since he took charge. <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He has proved it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all about ability, attitude and work ethic and Mark has those skills as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mark didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really have a playing career so even though he is young, he has already gained management experience. That was why he was given the England job. <\/p>\n<p> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Even at a young age, Mark was a good fit at Swansea. We had the same philosophy and wanted the game played in the style, influenced by Spain, that was brought in by Roberto. <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I feel proud that I gave him that chance and pushed him but the credit goes to Mark. He had that desire to improve and educate himself. <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I could see his potential I thought he would go on to do well, perhaps as an academy manager. But I never thought he would reach these levels.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<h2>Social Media<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"swansnews\">Tweet<\/a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Related Articles<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fansnetwork.co.uk\/football\/swanseacity\/news\/39067\/englands-success-has-a-swansea-stamp\" target=\"_blank\">England&#8217;s Success Has A Swansea Stamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h1>Planet Swans, Supporting the Swans, All Day, Every Day<\/h1>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p><#Lionesses><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow @swansnews It may have been seen to be a massive gamble by Huw Jenkins to appoint Monk when he made him manager following the sacking of Michael Laudrup in February last year but the statistics speak for themselves and yet again it is proving to be an inspired appointment by someone who has a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":453,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/453"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19911\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
