Mickey Mellon on Flitcroft’s departure and Caretake appointment

By Yorkshire Post reporter Nick Westby

Mickey Mellon tonight gave his thoughts on the dramatic events that have unfolded tonight at Oakwell.

“I am a little mixed up about the situation to be honest” said Mellon. “I am crushed for Flicker, but the caretake job has got my juices flowing. David was probably a little punch drunk by the end, but it’s my job to get the core of the team right, and get some fizz back in our play. There’s no sour grapes from Flicker, he knows you get squashed in this game by poor results. He’ll have some time out and be enjoying his turkey and cranberry at Christmas when we’re all working! This club was the apple of his eye, and he’ll part on good terms, and I’m sure there will be no pithy comments from him."
"I have the green light to bring in an assistant to help me, and I am talking to ex Leeds and England player Trevor Cherry about that. We’ll be looking at loan targets for January, but don’t expect players of the calibre of Aaron Lemon coming here. I am not listening to speculation on who the permanent manager will be, but I have some empathy with Michael Appleton.

 

well done!

 

Mellon's comments have left a sour taste in my mouth....

 

Mine too

 

It took me until the fourth line before I realised it was pith take.., well done

 

Rumbled

 

not bad, a little crabby in places, but turned out Peach in the end.

 

Berry good. Sweet in fact.

 

It was **** anyway, you can have it.

 

Personally I think melon must be bananas if he thinks he can do a job with our currant squad as there are too many bad apples. I think he would need to start looking at getting a decent pear of central midfielders for starters and maybe a decent striker who is currantly in the limelight and could end up being a star at oakwell.

 

Huge lol!

 

I must be worryingly slow, but I got nearly to the end before I realised! Aaron Lemon indeed!
