AFC Fylde have apparently increased the interest in Reid.

 

Conlon is going to take over the captaincy.

 

We are looking at the Fleetwood winger who was on loan at Rochdale.

Conlon he'd better be a million times better than last season then!

I’d be very happy with Cian Hayes if true

There'll be quite a few surprises before the start of the season. The whole spine of the team needs solidifying and I`ll be very surprised (and bemused) if Conlon gets the captaincy, as someone has intimated on here. Norwood won't be in the plans for next season. Midfield needs a complete overhaul and defence coming under scrutiny too. Enjoy the summer everyone, I`m dipping out now and just going to observe how it all pans out.

You’re going to have to put some meat on those bones after that comment!!

"Dire" maybe a tad harsh, but I'll be glad not to see him go down injured for the billionth time again. Usually when we're chasing the game.....

 

Or trying to Referee the game and then getting booked...

Oh hello. . 

 

Heard quite a few Tranmere fans rave about him and being a big reason behind Mellons success. 

[nzlatic]

See, we didn’t need a self-flagellating statement from the club to cheers us up, just some good old fashioned positive transfer rumours!

[Lukers1]

Yep, if I’ve been told right Mickey has had  an absolute rage on everything top to bottom of the club.

 

I can confirm that the behaviour of squad and management team at the hotel when they beat Barnet left him him furious.

Indeed. And been doing a good job with Burnley u23s I hear. 

If he wants to bring MMs lad with him I wouldn't say no.!

On the subject of Conlon, Vale fans always rated him as a good club man as well as player and he did especially well in a midfield 3 alongside Worrall, who has also been linked with us.

He has it all to prove but, with a good pre-season behind him and better players alongside, I am hopeful that Conlon can step up.

As is recovery from serious injury! Hope you and the Vale fans are right though because at his best he sounds just what we need both as a player and captain.

Which sounds a bit strange as we stuffed the play-offs favourites home and away.

Whatever they did before a 4-1 away win should be encouraged not criticised

I’m hearing he’s trying to stamp a bit more professionalism on the squad. He’s obviously not fully fit but he’s made his own fitness structure and is only taking a couple of weeks off. Pre season don’t be surprised if you see him at the gym and in and around the club.

It was more the fact that he asked for a two night stay at the luxury hotel and had the use of the gym and pool, spa for team bonding . The captain complained that they didnt want to spend the second night and kicked up a fuss. The extent was that the hotel made them packed lunches for the  way home and the captain said this was crap food and the squad would eat shit at the service station: Mickey apparently exploded as they also had Thursday off and realised he was looking after a bunch of kids.

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

Doesn’t surprise me - but on the other hand isn’t there an element of nobhead behaviour in every squad at every club. 
 

Mellon should absolutely drive team ethic and professionalism, but he also needs to pick his battles for the greater good. 
 

When you stack up all the stories this season it’s clear there’s a culture and mindset problem, I just hope he doesn’t alienate the players while trying to maintain standards. He needs them on side.

So you mean they were going to stay over on the Wednesday night but went home after the game instead?

Could be a symptom of the Unsworth period?
