Bottom line is, no one really knows anything. Very easy to put 2 & 2 together and say Mellon was always off to Tranmere now that it's happened, however the stories of the board being unhappy with him have been around for months. Hearsay again, but what I was told is that certain members of the board weren't happy with the way he was reneging against the development strategy and wanting to do things his way. This eventually cost him his job. The writing had been on the wall for a while and it was a matter of getting the season finished and he was gone. He clearly wasn't happy towards the end of the season, his body language said as much, so its suited all parties in the end.
