Monarch Airlines have pulled EMA as a base for next summer. In answer to some questions about their schedule:

From MON website-

"Through a review of its network strategy, the Airline is focussing on offering customers greater flight frequency and more sociable departure times to short-haul European destinations from its main UK bases. These changes are already reflected in Monarch’s summer 2015 schedule, much of which is already on sale. The Airline expects to add more flights to its programme for next summer in the coming months."

It seems that the schedule released is not the full schedule for next summer. With the EMA base closure, that does leave 2 aircraft free which may transfer to BHX/LGW/LTN. I have a feeling LBA may follow with that base closure rumoured so MAN may see them 2 aircraft based at LBA currently for next summer? All speculation of course. They also have 2 new A321 for next summer and the 3 757's leaving at the end of this summer.
