Monk not making friends at Boro'
Following Wednesday's friendly at Mansfield, reporting restrictions were placed on The Gazette.
Our journalist Dominic Shaw was informed by Middlesbrough Football Clubhe was not welcome to interview manager Garry Monk.
Another Gazette reporter was permitted to speak to Monk, but we decided not to publish that interview.
As an independent publisher, we simply cannot allow any organisation to apply restrictions on our journalism by dictating which of our staff they are happy to field questions from.

Seems like, when reading the article, that the club banned the reporter before Monk had even signed for them.

Re: Monk not making friends at Boro'
It's between Middlesbrough and the Gazette where there is a disagreement, rather than specifically a problem between employees of the Gazette and Monk from what I have read.

Re: Monk not making friends at Boro'
I never liked the way Monk talked at interviews. It was like a broken record
Just repetition all the time... same old catchphrases. I think he only ever did
one good interview when he lost it with a reporter asking hard questions.
It may have been something to do with not stepping on MC's toes cos it seemed
that during the MC era all of the managers (sorry head coaches) had to be so
politically correct and I well remember the rollicking Steve Evans got when he stepped
out of line.
