Mellon gone and Hughes incoming

[ARAbCHNID]

Boat saying Hughes. I'd take him if he brings his Highlands form & not his Fife form. He's been speaking a bit funny tho since he started wearing specks, a wee bit more demented than ever All prospective incumbents will be itk though & the TA issue will need fixed. But how? TA & son next to leave?

Wouldna be surprised if Mellon return to Tranmere us announced soon.

I think parting of ways was welcome by both parties. Mellon wanted to go back down south and a potential opportunity to go back to Tranmere has come up.
I think United, although happy staying up, we’re not too happy with performances and wanted a change.
I also feel that there didn’t seem to be the support for Mellon from m the players,
All in all probably best solution for all

[Monifieth Arab]

Not an inspiring list!! I would definitely take Robinson or Badger, Petrie has Courts have both done well in their current positions but both would be massive risks, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we got McInnes but any of the rest no thanks.

I have to confess until yesterday i had NEVER heard of Tam Courts but he is 1/2 ON with Sky Bet to be our new head coach.Something i did post a month ago was IF Micky cannie work under Tony then its unlikely others like McInnes would be able to either and we might end up with people in the dugout who are completely under the control of our Sporting Director.

Its the best solution for all if we appoint a manager who will have us playing a more attractive winning style of football.Its an unmitigated disaster if big Tony has hounded out Micky just so he can control everything on and off the field.

I'm sorry but its looking more like my second option rather than my first.Whatever happens any new manager or head coach will have to agree to terms that were totally unacceptable to Micky Mellon and i'm sure that any poster with even half a brain can see that.

So, I doubt the extensions to Pawlett and Clark's contracts were down to Micky.

It looks like Ashgar is the man making all the decisions.

To be honest, we probably need to look for someone who is comfortable working with a Sporting Director, that is the way Ogren wants it and its a system that is used in American sports (and football all across the world).

Like I said in a different thread, this isn't something that Scottish football will open up its arms to easily. So it might be the case that we are looking to the continent and trying to bring in a coach who is happy to say "go find me a winger, I'll be on the training pitch with the rest of the players"

So as we appear to have not learned from mistakes of previous owners, going on to apparently create some new ones, i really fear for our future and feel we will end up back to when Houston departed. Whats next? Selling all the silver again that someone else created for someones personal profit, only quicker?

[BackRowArab]

What if Mellon wanted to leave, should we have held him hostage?

I doubt he wanted to go. He emphasised very recently how settled he was moving up here. I suspect it is more of a case he felt he had to go due to things going on behind the scenes that we are only speculating about just now.
