A refreshing idea BP but there’s a world of difference between coaching young kids and seasoned pro’s! -

He demonstrates that on the field too…he’s looked pissed off with a fair few of them today! -
MATCH: Wealdstone (H) 20/04/24
oafc1955 replied to Bender's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
We’ve had him here 7 months now and he is over 30 games in. You would expect to see what a Mellon team might look like by now….if it’s this then fuck me!!! He keeps saying he knows what a good player looks like yet his signings have been truly horrendous…. Conlon is totally disinterested, Sachdev doesn’t know if he’s on his arse or his elbow, Hammond looks like he’s never played football before, Dallas couldn’t trap a bag of cement and Walker…well what about Walker? He knew what he was inheriting here and took the job on knowing that….I cannot think of a single positive he has brought to the table! Have you seen anything…and I mean anything at all, to suggest Mellon is the man to take us forward? -
MATCH: Wealdstone (H) 20/04/24
oafc1955 replied to Bender's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Shit happens but for whatever reason 1 win in 14 is unacceptable. I don’t think any manager in any league would survive with a record like that! If the majority of this squad are here next season and under this manager then it’s obvious to me we’ll be fighting a relegation battle! I’ve heard a lot of things today from pretty reliable sources which indicates there are serious problems in and around the dressing room. There has to be some truth in it because that was just shit again. IMO there were only 3 players giving their all today, Sutton, Gardner & Fondop. It’s happening far too often, something is definitely not right!! -
Let the inquest begin.

The Rothwell’s are here for the long haul, I’m sure of that, but there will now be a realisation of the size of the job they’ve took on. The close season should be interesting to say the least. There are no guarantees with Mellon and if we set off poorly next season it would be a massive decision to keep him on under what will no doubt be fierce criticism and huge pressure from the terraces. -

It’s possible but If you look at the fixtures , Boreham Wood play Ebbsfleet so Wealdstone are probably safe. There would have to be a freak set of results. Having said that they’ll probably beat us anyway! -
Micky Mellon's Retained and Released List
oafc1955 replied to LaticMark's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
So it would be better and possibly cheaper to draw a line under it and just pay them off surely. Are we talking about one player here or all the players he’s discarded? If they’re not training and sat on their arse at home they’re not going to be easy to shift are they? -

I bloody hope so…I couldn’t handle playing second fiddle to Rochdale! -

Looks like the Sale of Rochdale to the Ogden family is set to be completed. From the media……. Amongst their other plans they are to establish "a new sports facility", to be used by the first team and academy, while they also pledged to mount a first-team budget befitting a promotion challenge for next season. *********************************** This season would have been a perfect opportunity for us to go up. The prospect of Southend and now Rochdale being in the mix makes it so much harder next season. I fear we could be down here for a while! -

He had the same form when he was sacked from his last two jobs by Dundee and in his 2nd spell by Tranmere. He’s had a few promotions but he’s also had a few sackings. There are no guarantees and all I’m saying is I’m not overly confident. -
Where will we finish this season?
oafc1955 replied to oafcmetty's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
2 places higher and a few points better off is progress I suppose but really disappointing and nowhere near the expectation! The problem is if we set off slowly again next season the supporters will be on the case straight away. Unfortunately, Mellon won’t get any grace period next time and will have to produce from the off….that’s just the way it, that’s football! Do I think he’s the right manager? I really hope so, his CV and past achievements say that he is, but from what I’ve seen so far I’m really not convinced. -

He ripped them apart in his last after match interview! Do you think that maybe it’s because of a realisation that he’ll have to work with the majority of this lot next season? The fact that he hasn’t managed to get a tune out of the vast majority of them over 30+ games and 7 months in the job suggests he’s going to struggle. It’s extremely worrying in my opinion! -

Well it’ll be a massive decision to give him the budget based on his performance this season. I wouldn’t like to be making it! -

Mellon’s been dealt a bad hand, no doubt about it, but based on the job he’s done over 30 odd games would you put him in charge of the budget next season if it was your money he was spending…I’m really no sure I would! -
