Mickey Mellon

Can you tell me the qualifications Ashgar has for choosing players at a professional football club.

In fact, can you give me any reason why he should be running the show at our club other than he talks a good game.

What qualifications do you think he needs?

A track record of unearthing promising players would be a good start.

something tells me this isnt just rumours, how real and how far dunno but we will see anyway. Mellon doing a decent job with results overall. Some real bad moments and some strange signings (are they his?). Most of all some sh!te football. Id rather have some massive fvcker up front to punt the ball up to but in all seriousness cant see anyone not putting it out anyway. So realistically with the players aye he has pass marks. entertainment - nil.

Would hope its not true but if its a mutual thing then we need to go for proven which is why McInnes or Robinson would be best if it does happen

However all this stuff is distracting, only matters if we are no longer in the cup come Sunday evening

The problem is if Mellon an experienced manager cannot work with Big Tony then NO other manager of his ilk will want to either and we will end up with an untested manager,youth coaches out of their depth in the first team dugout and the inevitable relegation to follow(Bookmark).

If what i have heard is true i would much rather Tony and his son were packing their bags than Micky.Unfortunately for me and the future of the club that will not happen.

I don't see where the love for McIness comes from.

His budget whilst at Aberdeen was substantial and he got them to where they should be given the size of the club. Only won one cup though. So he's competent, but no more than that.

He wouldn't get anywhere near the budget he had up there if he was our manager.

I think he's dour. And, apart from a couple of decent early years during his tenure, his teams played dour football. Just ask the sheep.

We don't know what a Mellon team looks like, because he's not had the budget or time to build it yet. But I reckon he's the man for us.

He needs backed financially though.

Also, if Micky feels that he needs TA to back off a bit, then that is exactly what should happen.

We need a happy manager that knows the club will back him in every way possible to get a good team on the park.

All this background noise and speculation is not good news for anyone who want United to get back to being a steady top six side reaching/winning cup finals in 'good years but not dropping below 6th in the league in a 'bad' year.

Good post. I'd take MM over DM any day of the week.

There is no love, just an obvious good choice who would get us back to regular top 4-6 finishes, which is what we want, so would be a good choice for a few seasons

I agree he is overrated as had a huge budget at Aberdeen and his pick of players but he still rebuilt many times and got consistency, he managed to do a good job with St Johnstone on a wee budget and theyve never looked back ever since his time in charge

However all speculation with regards rumours etc

Still hoping it is exaggeration and rumours. Obviously don't know the strength of your source, and don't mean any offence. It is not the first time though that TA has ended up in the firing line with suspicions.

Don't get me wrong, if it is true then only one (maybe two) should be leaving and it is not MM. I am however willing to give the benefit of the doubt until there is clarity.

Whatever way it plays out, would rather something interesting were to happen....and that is not DM!
