Mellon gone and Hughes incoming

[tHeArAb]

I still refuse to believe he is a serious contender. But the rumours are there and wont go away.

Yup. This is giving me the f*cking fear the more I think about it. I've watched a few of his interviews in his time at Utd and I cannot see this guy commanding any kind of respect from a dressing room full of seasoned, professional footballers.

A person at that meeting who hated ST with a passion has said and i quote,"I would rather have ST back with some of the things i'm hearing at this meeting."

FACT.

Couldna have been many at that meeting...

Haven't got a clue how many were there mate but what i have posted is true.

Worst thing about Mellon going is we are now going to have the whole Malky Mckay thing all over again. Some folk just won't let go.

I wish we appointed him rather than Micky M

I’m still positive that the original MM was about to be appointed last year OA until as you say the ‘backlash’ occurred. As OK as Mellon did for us I’m still convinced that MacKay would have been a better appointment. But we didn’t find out then and we sure as hell ain’t going to find out now.

And another thing - why now? What has changed in 12 months? There was none of this young, untried, up and coming, promotor of youth candidate back then.Instead it was all tried and trusted candidates like the twa MMs, Tommy Wright, Schteve McLaren etc etc. What has changed in that short time that makes us think we should suddenly turn 180° and go in a completely different direction? Certainly not on the park - it’s a largely unchanged squad, with the same challenges going in to a difficult league. Why did we need experience in the dugout then but not now? I could definitely get it if Courts had say been assistant to Mellon for example three years or so and then took the reins when Micky maybe then moved on but the background to this particular set of events seems radio rental..............

Agree wholeheartedly mate

I wouldn't have been against his appointment at the time but what exactly do you think he would have done with the same squad that Mellon inherited?

Has Malky been up for any of the numerous jobs across the country this season? Genuine Q as I've never seen his name mentioned since last summer.

We really don't need to go down that road mate because i'm certain he will not even be on the shortlist.

At least we have dodged one bullet and Malky is off to Dingwall.
