why does mellon deserve his chance..

he was part of flickers team wasnt he?? im lost.

 

We are probably paying that much out to sacked managers there's fook all left to get who they want so mellon is the only current viable option, just a guess like

 

We have all the managers on 1 year contracts so in the big scheme of things not a lot. In any business you take your time making key appointments don't you?

 

of course you would take your time. i just dont know why mellon deserves his chance! he may come good but i would like to know why he got kep on and the rest didnt. cheap option comes to mind dont it.

 

As a manager, he has a win average of over 50%. If he was still managing Fleetwood now (with that record) and we were looking to recruit from the lower leagues and continue with our recruitment policy of trying to find gems from the lower leagues, he would be fairly high up the list.

 

Fair play he wouldn't be my first choice but like most businesses you can't leave a total vacuum you need someone to pick the team and keep things ticking over while you go through the recruitment process and if your temporary manager does well of course you would consider him for the full time role.

 

Someone has to manage the club until an appointment is made and the board have decided it should be him, end of

 

Because he can decide the team for a start.

 

Flicker was part of Keith Hill's team, was he the wrong appointment?

I can't see the harm it giving Mellon a chance, he's got a proven track record afterall, albeit at a lower level, but then again, he's more qualified for the job than Flicker was.

 

As caretaker, the club just suggested that he's a position to stake his claim. I think more emphasis has been put on that by the fans as that is the only scrap of news released, because for unlike last year, we are doing things the right way.

 

all want to know is why he deserves his chance and not 1 person has gave me a good enough reason. i dont think anyone knows. your all giving me reasons but are they the correct reasons for being able to manage a CHAMPIONSHIP club? im just baffled by it all

 

Who would you have put in caretaker charge? Bearing in mind that the caretaker manager basically is in a position where the job is his to lose?

 

I answered earlier, but you ignored it. He was very successful at Fleetwood, and with a record like he had he would be someone that we were looking at if we wanted to recruit from the lower leagues. We will not be able to poach a manager from a rival club in the Championship for financial reasons (and who would jump into a worse position mid-season), and all the managers that are out of work have failed somewhere previously (otherwise they would still be in work) and experienced managers at this level are probably out of our price range.

I can't think of any others that are out of work at the moment (Wilson is the possible exception) that were sacked with the club doing well - although you could argue that both Mellon and Wilson had only made the play-off places at the time of dismissal.

 

No it does not Archey.
Caretaker means he runs things until the club appoint another manager.
Morgan was put in Caretaker manager position at Sheffield United, he was never getting the job.

 

That doesn't make him a bad manager. His record as a manager in his own right means he deserves consideration, in my opinion.

 

Erm, Yes he was . We are just 12 months down the line and in the same shitty situation.!

I think hat he did after taking over was fantastic, but this season he has proved it was a fluke.

 

Can't agree Mark, at the time, Flicker had done a decent job as caretaker and kept us in the division whether it was a fluke or not. Right appointment for me in the end. I wanted Butcher at the time and yet I think he wouldn't have kept us up.

My opinion like

 

But that's Sheffield United. Mellon has been given the job to lose, so did Flicker, so did Davey, so did Ritchie, so did Hodges, dont exactly remember the circumstances but I think Danny Wilson was the same?

 

Flitcroft was never given the job to lose. He got it because others turned us down. Butcher and SO'D would have got the job before him.

 

How can he have been the right appointment if we are in the same situation 12 months down the line?

I think he did a great job keeping us up, but he was not the right man for the full time job.

Your opinion is just as valid as anyone elses mate.


Even if it is wrong
