League Two Bradford v Rovers

[Keith Hill (Bolton)]

Moving on from the rather obvious anti Palios agenda…. Afaik, Mellon’s contract has never been disclosed so where does the assumption that he’s out of contract in the summer come from?

he told me!

 

[O4anotherplayoff]

The irony is Dundee united currently sit bottom of the SPL and may well go down. Maybe they should have kept Micky!

To be fair the bloke who succeeded him took them into Europe. But, after he left, they appointed Jack Ross..

I am not sure there is any anti-Palios agenda on this site, just a realism regarding the club's financial position at the moment. I certainly defend the owners on a regular basis.

You could have Pep as manager, the players still wouldnt be able to score goals, they aren't good enough. I think I've pretty much written the season off as it's the same every week now. What we need for stability is to keep Micky in charge but we need players that can stick the ball in the net. We might be looking at some luck for this to happen as we currently do not have the finances to cherry pick them. It will be the same next season too if no investment is found, whilst the likes of Wrexham will be flying past us!

Absolute rubbish - it’s Mellons crap tactics and most likely inept coaching that is to blame !

Out of interest, why do you have Micky Mellon as your favourite manager on your avatar ?

your only input on this site is to either attack micky or defend merrie like hes some kind of midfield messiah. not sure whether you're trolling or being serious?

some just like to moan no matter what we all know MM loves the club and I bet he is as frustrated and pissed off like most of us are at times but you feel like at times he is hitting a brick wall with some fans

I do wish you could hear him in a conversation with his staff!
That is why MM and Jacko complimented each other!

2 year contract, it was disclosed in an interview on radio Merseyside when he rejoined.

There no anti Palios agenda just people rightly concerned that despite taking over the club virtually debt free they are having to cover wages and losses themselves despite their aim over the budget and being a self sustainable club.
The projects they have tried the concerts, China, riverhill etc have made losses.

 

[O4anotherplayoff]

The anti Palios agenda is apparent in most of Keef‘s posts. He seems to have a personal issue with MP. It gets in the way and becomes tiresome after a while.

Covering a short term loss rather than cashing in some or all of £500k of assets now, when they (1) can help us achieve our on pitch aims this season and (2) may well have appreciated in value (and almost certainly won’t have lost value) a few months down the line, makes sense, and certainly isn’t something to hit the panic button over.

EDIT - I’d be far more worried if the club had felt it had to cash in in January. The development model will never work if we have to offload at the first opportunity when pursuing a longer term strategy.

I suspect there was some local politics in Play as MM was promoting a very pragmatic style of football aimed at keeping DU in the SPL. His replacement came from a team then in the fourth tier which is based about 40m south of Dundee.

Mellon’s successor, Tam Courts, stepped up from Dundee United’s youth set up. His time with Kelty was a few years earlier.

The club got a lot of flak off the fans when they appointed Courts but the appointment paid off.

Maybe working with MM helped? He was subsequently replaced and left to manage in Hungary. However, and sadly, he was sacked in Oct 22 and is currently unemployed.

Yes, I was sure that was announced at the time.

I don't know enough about Dundee United to say if Courts built on the foundations Micky had built or significantly changed things, but he took them into Europe and the departure was his own choice. Unsure what went wrong in Hungary.

I think his performance in terms of points was actually very similar to Mellon's, such is the strangeness of the SPL with the mid-season split and the gulf between the Old Firm and the rest.

There’s certainly no messiah’s in this squad but all I’m saying is that on an individual level they are mostly a good bunch of players who don’t appear to be getting the right guidance on what to do on the pitch. I am not a troll, I admit I often lay into Mellon because IMO he just hadn’t got what it takes and his style of football and tactics are frankly quite useless and not good to watch !. Your opinion is different to mine which is ok as we are all entitled to our own views - mine is Mellon is rubbish and needs to go !
