Mellon gone and Hughes incoming

Also to add, there is no 'outstanding' candidate, its quite open at the moment. Wouldn't surprise me if there is a surprise appointment (I don't mean inexperienced like Courts, I mean a guy that hasn't been talked about much, or at all)

interesting - i had heard similar last week. consdiering all options but with courts either assistant or jt?

Courts might not be officially on the coaching team, but would be learning from the manager behind the scenes. That is what was happening with Mellon

I wasn't given specific names, just that nobody had been ruled out and there were people interested who hadn't been mentioned.

So really it looks like mellon was offski anyway this was clearly arranged and may well have been accepted by Tony. He wasnt happy but he did a job and wish him well would be good for him to meet our supporters one day.

The hope had been to have courts in a few years time but given the nature Tony leaks possibility to test water. Stormy water turns into expanding ideas. All the outrage turns to euphoria - if Tony manages that youve got to take your hat off to him.

Not sure it was leaked by Tony, but enough people knew the long term plan at the club that it was going to get out when Mellon left.

From what I heard, United not being happy with Mellon (well the performances on the pitch, the results they were very satisfied with) and him being unsettled and wanting to leave were two independent things, but United were very happy when Micky came to them asking about going back to Tranmere, as I think the pay off for sacking him was £80-100k
