When Mellon came in, Courts was always the long term plan as the replacement manager (hence all the rumours since MM left), but was never the plan for it to be this early. Will be another manager in and when/if that manager leaves in 2-3 years then Courts will take over.

Yip, I might have been speaking to someone over the weekend wink wink
See if someone like Nielson/Mellon had come out and said at some point through their time here, "you know what fans, we have this guy going through his managerial apprenticeship just now, and he is something special!", then i dont think there would be as much negativity as we are seeing just now. Add in a message from Tony last week to say, "we have this lad Courts, hes good, but no quite ready", then we might even have seen a "Give the boy a chance from the fans".

But there has been nothing but rumours, and ive heard all the same things again that GB was telling us about last week, and adding more meat to the rumours about who is making the signings.
