Mellon gone and Hughes incoming

[stokearab]

There is a lot of people on here who act like TA has touched them in a very special place

An unpleasant thought if ever there was one!
Surely you're thinking of Celtic FC lol

Unfortunately a section of United fans that are pretty vocal on Twitter etc took an immediate dislike to the guy from the start and it's carried on in the background despite our decent if workmanlike season.

The poor level of communication from the club to the fans hasn't helped that. Sean Dillons fawning embarrassing interview with him on Club TV didn't change it.

Now with this news and the vacuum of fact around it, leaves many fans (possibly correctly) putting 2 plus 2 and making TA the villain of the piece.

Strong rumours now about Tam Courts and the BBC website article seems to be indicating he is being considered.

Personally I find it hard to believe there is not a better candidate out there. Seems an enormous gamble and I am gutted that Mellon has gone

I don't have any contacts in the club, so I haven't had anyone tell me stories. But a lot of people on here are hearing stuff from the club, but they won't back it up with what the actual stories are, just that they "hear things". I don't expect them to name who their contacts are, but if you are being told things, then share, don't be cryptic.

Will there not be a conflict of interest with tam and young asghar at the helm? Can TA sack his young and his mate if we’re not performing and bottom by say Christmas?

Or is the club full of nepotism now?

Jim McLean was chairman when Tommy was the manager

[offshore_arab83]

True. But wee Jim took nae sh1t from anyone, we dunno if TA is cut from the same cloth in that respect, plus wee Tommy was a well established manager, he hadn’t just appeared from Kelty f ucking Hearts

Also I'm sure Ogren would make the decision for him anyway.

I'm not saying I've got contacts at the club.
It's difficult. The club aren't going to issue a statement saying (for example) Tony and Mickey haven't seen eye to eye for a long time now, there was a massive bust up and Mickey says he can't work with Tony any more. Or......Mickey didn't agree with some of the stuff that was going on, his wife was homesick, he's got an open offer from Tranmere and decided to go back south.

In the absence of truth, which we're never going to get in full, fans will fill the void and often exaggerate the "I heard xyz" because a lot of fans want other fans to think they've got contacts. People guess then say "Rumour is that..." It's completely sh1t.

Even managers who didn't sign confidentiality agreements will rarely slag a club off because they know their potential employers will take note.

But the sooner we find out who next manager is the sooner we can move on to moaning about that!

Surely not on here with all these fine gentlemen!

Would he? I don’t think MO has as much to do with the daily running of the club as some think, TA runs the show for him
