It might have been the 100th thing shouted at him.

 

I'd last about 2 minutes before telling someone to fuck off if they were shouting at me

I’d struggle too, but he’s got to remember those fans have been sat there enduring that crap a lot longer than he has, and they’re paying for the privilege 

[oafcmb]

Only 65 votes. Look at the comments on Facebook and Twitter. its mostly negative about the manager and of course the players.

It's a simplistic view that our supposedly qualified recruitment department adopted earlier this season.

 

As many strikers as possible = more goals. 

 

Exactly why oh why oh do we employ people when we've got ready made tactical wizards sat in the stands who could tell us all we need to know

My interpretation is that I wanted the manager to confirm what my assumptions have been on why we struggle to perform consistently. I thought MM did that to an extent and his message, to the board was that colossal damage has already been done in recruitment, before he ever got there.

I would hope the message to the board will have been delivered months ago. If he’s waited until Saturday to tell them I don’t think he’ll be here too much longer!

We all know the score regarding the inadequacies of this bloated squad, we didn’t need him to spell it out in quite so much detail.

I just don’t think he should have been quite so damning and overly negative towards his task going forward.

The club are trying to sell season tickets and this will definitely have a detrimental effect on sales……do you not agree?

What could he have said under the circumstances? DU got rinsed, and rightly so, for rolling his turd in glitter by patronising and gaslighting supporters in his pressers.

 

MM inherited a massively imbalanced squad, much worse than he understood when he took on the roll. It needs a lot of work doing to it. He’s going to have to be cute in the market and wheel and deal to get a team that resembles one that fans want to see.

 

There isn’t no middle ground here. The positivity I see is that it will get better, once people accept the situation for what it is. 

Along with the fact that contractually we have only 1 more season with most of those shitbag players. So there's 10-11 players that will be leaving this post season. Maybe make room in the budget to release another 4 or 5 and I think that would be a good start to the rebuild.

[Lukers1]

We can’t afford the 500,000 to pay the players off but probably afford to pay off Mellon if required.

 

Is there a management team available who can get a tune out of this squad with a couple of additions.

 

I was very much Mellon in but that interview yesterday was horrible. Reeling off the quality teams we’ve played in 10 games.

 

Has he forgotten about Kidderminster which was a massive game for the club, AFC Fylde, Woking, Wealdstone…..

That's the problem if Mellon goes, who would want the job, knowing that they have the same shitbag players to work with. Also is there a manager out there who can get a tune out of the current shower of shit? That the club has a budget for. 

That at the most 4 previous managers failed to do.

Dear me Mellon is actually delusional if he thinks the season hasn't dropped away since Eastleigh, we were top of the form table prior but have since gone on an eleven game winless run which is up there amongst the worst in out history, it's not lazy journalism it's fucking facts, add to that team selections been a fucking raffle and he's employed tactics straight off Clayton playing fields, what's lazy is his inability to set a team up and keep sending them out to do the same mind numbing thing game after game. It's not difficult to see why he cant motivate given the way he's behaving lately, I'd probably down tools as well if I had to listen to that tripe day in day out.

 

Harps on about his impossible job but then crawls up everyone's arse, if you're gonna bleat like a bairn then at least tell us what your trying to say because it looks to me like he wants to blame every fucker but himself, he's almost making his position untenable with the stance he's taken the last couple of weeks and there has been absolutely nothing to be gained from the way he's going on if he's not looking to move on, all he's doing is making an impossible job even more difficult.

 

Of course there's shit going on but I have less faith than ever that he's the man to sort it out, for a start whose gonna play for him after the shit he's talked and I'm not spending a fucking penny whilst Captain fucking doom is in town.

Yes. As I said, confusing

 

Blames everybody and nobody at the same time.

It's almost as if he is demanding the club should listen to him as they did with Unsworth and spend money they don't have, if what he says is true and that's your group for next year then shut the fuck up and stop slating them publicly and crack on in making them better at their jobs which is ultimately what a manager is paid to do, get on the training pitch and earn your fucking money because lets get this right he's the best paid 'manager' in the division, (hard to believe I know). What's undeniable is this team can get results as they proved if you take away the book ends of the season, yes they threw some shockers in but that's NL for you.

 

I'm of the opinion now that it would be cheaper to move the manager on now, interview for the role and pick the best candidate based on interview, show them the squad they will have to work with and that would give someone a clean slate after what's gone on. Mellon has 18 players next season but only wants about 3 of them and that's an impossible task.

 

My final point on the matter is this, I didn't attend yesterday and don't sit in the main stand but have a friend who had a spat with Mellon, quite a mild mannered guy and basically all he's said is 'Micky stick Garner on and have a go at winning it', to which Mellon replied 'why don't you just fuck off' now I'm sorry but of this man is so up on discipline why does he think it's acceptable to behave in such a manner, it's little wonder we have disharmony in the dressing room because people are treated differently and a manager who can't control his emotions, we are not talking about giving a bit back here we are talking about a man whose chose to behave like that in front of women and children who should know better, he's gone down in my estimations after yesterday and really someone should be addressing his behaviour because it's bordering on unhinged.

 

Barking at fans doesn't end well generally and it's his job to quell that not fan the flames, he has an arrogance about him that doesn't serve him well and it's little wonder the players he 'trusts' have similar mannerisms.

 

Sorry but that's not what I want to see out of our manager, I don't care if your Pep Guardiola you shouldn't go around running your mouth off because you're having a bad day at the office and he's probably bringing the club into disrepute by doing so.

 

It appears he resents fans opinions and digs in even further.

He thinks fans know nothing yet many know exactly what the problems are. 

I don't like his repeated failure selections, square pegs or the style of non football his team dish out and not giving talented youth a chance.

Part time Wealdstone out played and outrun us yesterday and the passing and passion was a joy to watch.

Their young manager was also vibrant and encouraging his team, totally opposite from ours who forever has his hands in his pockets.

If you are reading this Mr Mellon you are well paid to produce a successful and entertaining football team while we fans pay good money for you to do it.

Bear that in mind please.

These players can’t be as bad as he makes out, can they? 
 

Surely we are just 4/5 players away from a decent side at this level? 
 

We are clearly lacking in some areas, but we have decent enough players to be competitive in this league. 
 

Something bigger is going on and I think bigger players such as Norwood and Conlon have had their heads turned and Mellon is giving up.

Indeed, there's no way Barnet/Bromley have more quality overall.

 

Cue the "They've had their manager for longer" disciples.

I don’t think many teams have better quality than us, but they do have a better team. 
 

We have no balance and no playing style. We just lump it.

Of course they’re not- they’re just not playing for him, and he won’t accept it, so is blaming everything else.
 

The interview is complete and utter disgrace, and had sack me written all over it. 
 

- He paints a picture of utter doom and gloom while the club are trying to shift season tickets. That alone is a pisstake, you can honest but inspiring. Instead of selectively honest and bitching. 
 

- Claims after the Flyde game he thought we might go down. Fuck. Off. Over two spells this season covering 22 games we’ve won 2 in 22. . and finished 10th. Stop talking complete shite. 
 

- repeatedly says he’s not above criticism, then gets very defensive and blames everyone else. 
 

- Says it’s been the impossible Job at times, then says to Alan it’s lazy journalism to say the season has fallen apart because we played a lot of ‘top sides’ and not been beaten. Also completely omits that it wasn’t impossible 8 weeks ago when we sat 5th- despite woeful home form. 
 

- Has the audacity to say we might be over budget, like it’s a surprise. He fucking knew what had been spent when he took the Job because he said numerous times, we have to respect what the family have spent. Was then given 6 signings, and none have improved us. 
 

I could go on and on. 
 

He is the leader and is coming like a spoilt arrogant child. I would be livid if I was on the board.

I do like Mellon, but it’s hard to disagree. 
 

Just the fact he’s pretty much said next season will be the same.. 

 

Don’t really know what to say or think at this point. I think something bigger is going on and he’s just wanting to be sacked.

Spot on 

He needs to ask himself if he's up for the task or not.

It's been a real eye opener to see him easily being out thought by opposition manager's who have far less at their disposal, yet seem to be able to cut their cloth and find a way.

Hard work helps ofcourse 

[stargazer]

The recent games against teams at the top , attempted perception that draws were a positive as they could not beat us either ......They did not have to , as they had won games in March and were in a position were a draw was a satisfactory result .....we weren't ......get shut, don't care what past glories exist , irrelevant to what is happening here . He is not the solution.
