Oh, I didn't realise you were meaning the interview. Sorry Dave, I took the quotes from the Oldham Times article..I should have said. See how easy it is to get mixed messages.

Yes, someone has already made that observation and he didn't actually say "at the other end of the table". What exactly was the "Other end" when he took over? If he had said the wrong end of the table, then fair enough. It's all down to the interpretation of words.

Says to me that there is a schism in the squad and some would have rather gone home whilst some may have preferred to stay. Even in my job, some people are divisive knobheads, I guess it must be commonplace.

So, just the one actual striker, then.

Ackey had a senior moment.

It seems the layers are slowly being stripped away. I can totally believe this is something that actually happened. The fuckwits.

Good point, he probably is and may have to be again, if his doom-laden interview is anything to go off.

Watch him go and score the goal which keeps them in League One. Unbelievable that he could be on more at a NL club than he would be in League One. Only goes to highlight one of the areas were our club has gone wrong.

Makes a nonsense then of why Mellon is indicating the budget has already been met on the current batch of players still in contract. Which one is it? I hope you're right, btw.

Mellon's comments. "The way it is now, everybody that's here has got another year's contract so it's difficult because everything's pretty much tied up, everything's already been spent on the group that's here and the frustrating part is the group needs a lot of help and we won't have the ability to do anything about that, even with the outgoings" I take it he means the contracted players who remain and there is no budget left, even if he gets rid of some? "It wasn't a team that was flying at the top of the league, the manager unfortunately lost his job because the team wasn't performing for him, and it's all still here." Players deliberately not performing for Unsworth and now doing the same for Mellon, so just not performing regardless? "But I said weeks ago this needs major surgery and I said on game two when we played Fylde at Fylde, I said to people 'I think we're in trouble. I think I've taken over something here that could be in trouble, and I mean at the other end'." The other end of what? Does he mean the Board? "The owners of this football club and Darren Royle are absolutely fantastic, unbelievable people. People that I couldn't speak highly enough of. Absolutely terrific people. But this, what's been put together at the minute, isn't matching up to what needs to be done in order to win games of football at this level." I'm sure he's having a go at the Board here. He baffles me.

I get the analogy. I'm more annoyed with Hudson telling a fan to "Shut the fuck up", the arrogant twat. I understand the frustration but Mellon should know better.

Yes, I think you have the right to fight your corner but not with verbal abuse. The customer is king, we pay for the privilege [if that's what you call it] of watching the product served up by the manager and his team. It's shit, we can complain, they can answer but keep it civil and clean. It's subjective. We're going to have to agree to disagree.

Good job the person responsible is not the president of the United States!

Somebody with a sense of humour at the club? I think it was a mistake.

Stopped playing how they could on purpose or stopped by inept management tactical choices?
