The folly of keeping mellon

Is now becoming all too obvious

Will the board/owner/lottery winner's decision to keep him for so long send us down or has Danny got enough time to turn it around now the bad apple has gone?

 

Noted, and appreciated :smile:

 

That is such a cheap post.

I know nothing about what Mellon's influence upon tactics, selection etc. were.

But unless he was secretly tying the players bootlaces together, i do know that to suggest that success in football comes so swiftly and simply (and constantly?) after the departure of one man who is not the manager or Lionel Messi, is pure tosh.

 

Agreed threadstopper.

 

That should be "the arrival of Lionel Messi"

Double up. Can we makes 1-4 by any chance?

 

Me too. Mellon's dismissal would only cause such a dramatic upturn in fortunes if he'd been deliberately sand bagging us and I think we can all agree that wasn't the case.

We've won a couple of games for a variety of reasons: a bit of luck that injuries dictated some selections, a couple of players playing so bad in previous matches that it forced Wilson's hand in to making changes, the return to full fitness of Liam Lawrence (plus Noble-Lazarus and Pedersen), players getting used to what the manager expects of them and the manager learning the abilities of the squad. In the last two games all that clicked. I believe the sacking of Mellon and the introduction of a different assistant manager was incidental. That will only have an effect long term.

 

Soooo many posters on here claimed that Mellon was the influence on Flicker keeping us up last season.

S'pose it's Hutching's influence now...

FFS.
