You suggested that the available 'mediocre' candidates would be incapable of doing the necessary job, which is untrue.

No I didn’t.

My point - again - is that we’ll probably have far greater chance of getting the right man once the new owners are at least in a position to give him their blessing, even if the takeover itself isn’t officially completed by then. I don’t think that’s particularly contentious, be it for either a stopgap or permanent appointment.

But, to be clear, “far greater chance” does NOT suggest the chances otherwise are zero.

Mellon not getting along with the Oldham fans.
Would there be too many obstacles for Micky lll?

I think the Mellon of five years ago would’ve been almost a perfect fit for what we need right now. For me, though, the jury’s still out on whether he’s still up to it.

He’s obviously not available as a stopgap right now and, for a number of reasons, I think we’ll look elsewhere for a permanent, regardless of whether that’s now or in the summer.
 
FFS.
The cheapest option is already in the house.
That is Palios track record.

Discussing anyone else is literally futile.
 
I can assure you that MM, is going nowhere.
And MM would not come back, too many reasons.

The same old tripe about “the cheap option” has been peddled about this club for donkeys years, but rarely stands up to any scrutiny. It’s just a lazy cliche.

Thrifty and cheapskate are two very different things.

I can't believe you came out with that BS.
Even before covid, the owners wanted everyone else to pay for everything!
If you lived around here, you would know that.
 
The first statement means you don't have a clue.
The second is, another spin from you. I did not say that, I said if you were from around here.
Learn from other posters about how cheap the owners are. And how badly they treat our supporters.
So much disrespect from the people who pays their wages.
And while I'm at it. The owners salary is counted in the employees list in the annual accounts.
There is no way they would put it doses remuneration.
That's all folks!

I know the incessant bleating over the years about “cheap options” is mostly nonsense. You just don’t understand the difference between thrift and cheapskate. Then again, it’s not your money is it.

So much flouncing. And “the fans” are financing the payroll now are they? :rolleyes:

The owners have said they haven’t taken a wage in the time they’ve been here, and the independently audited accounts back that up. So where did you get that story from?

I doubt that. :lol: :laugh:

You asked me to learn from the likes of you. I’m all ears. Particularly to learn about how badly you’ve been treated by Palios, and how ‘the fans’ have been “disrespected”, and for your allegations about dishonest disclosures re the directors wages.

So far, you’re all rhetoric and personal abuse, but no substance.

Oh I don’t know, a couple of very interesting allegations there but yes, I’m sure he won’t feel it’s worth the aggro to explain or back them up.

Meanwhile poor Charlie Daniels still doesn’t get a look in! :sneaky:
 
Wonder if old boy Gary Taylor-Fletcher might apply. This was on his LinkedIn page today:

Looking at my time in management I know when I do finally get someone who recognises my quality and skills, that I will be successful.

When applying for football manager roles higher up in the football ladder, I have always been overlooked due to the level I was currently working at.

When player/manager at Bangor City, I had interviews at league 1 and League 2 clubs but feedback was always about not managing in England or the Welsh league isn’t at the same level.

To take over a team and have European management experience, was something special and gave me a hunger to lead.

Winning 6/7 of my games in charge as interim and qualifying for the Europa League stood me in good stead and then to finish 2nd behind a strong fulltime TNS the following season was again testament to how I set the team up and ran the club as manager.

Covid hit and job interviews slowed down but now being successful again at AFC Crewe helping a community board build a new club up through the leagues is enjoyable and challenging.

Why I know I can work higher up is due to the fact I have had to run everything to do with the 1st team in all my roles.

Recruitment, training, player analysis, travel organisation, budgeting, scouting, tactical planning and opposition reports all with minimal or no team behind me.

Something which has given me a platform to excel and adapt.

Walking up on a Saturday morning, having 2/3 players drop out some weeks and having to re organise plans.
Makes me a stronger manager to deal with the unexpected.

Why I know my steps through management will give me what I need in the future whenever I get a chance or helping AFC Crewe through the leagues.
