He struggles managing a National League team with a budget multiple times bigger than the majority of clubs in the division.

 

He'd have no chance even in League 2   

 

He clearly has no chance in a league that he's won promotion from twice before with separate clubs.

I like Mellon but wouldn’t be bothered to see him go. I thought Pete Wild would be favourite for Blackpool got 12/1. Someone has said he wants 12 months off though

There's a crazy rumour going around on X from fairly reliable people (Barry Owen - whether you like him or not, he still somehow has fingers in a lot of pies around football, and @Fervid) that Mellon may be bound for Blackpool...

I'll stick £50 to Dr Kershaw if Mellon is Blackpool's next manager

Not sure he's reached a level in his career where he can choose to take a year out

He's a choice for an ambitious club at National League level, that may even stretch to League Two as well.  But he's not a manager that I'd be happy with if I was a fan of a League One club looking to push towards the Championship.

Micky knows what good looks like...

Well that's what he's doing, he's a regular at home games and appears happy and content during his break, his lad presented the MOM award to Monthe at the last home game and from what I've heard unless something turns up that is too good to turn down he's happy just sitting it out for now, fair play to him for that he seems like a man who likes to stick to his principles and you can't fault him for that.

From what we've seen so far whilst he's been here, I think it's a valid opinion.

Good luck to him, just seems like a bold call

Maybe it's due to his wife having another child recently

Fair enough. Not many are in a position to take a year out but good luck to him if he is

Plus he’s probably been paid off his last year of his contract at Barrow

I think he had recently signed a 5 year deal at Barrow so will have had a very decent pay off!

Didn't he walk?

I think it was mutual but I’m sure it would have involved a sizeable settlement.

[Lukers1]

Sorry to pour water on the MM out brigade, he’s not going anywhere.

 

Big job on for sure, it will be interesting to see the reaction or “bounce back ability” tomorrow.

 

 

[JoeP]

2 years of compo for a manager that few of us are entirely convinced about?  We ain't that lucky.

 

Mellon's going nowhere.

I really like him, but I can't for the life of me imagine what Blackpool in L1 have seen recently to make him on their wishlist. Has to be nonsense...

 

That's a 2+2=43 rumour surely. MM isn't going to be on many L1 or L2 teams' radar unless he achieves success with us.

[adamoafc]

He’s now into 7/1 in the Blackpool manager odds for what it’s worth. 

[Lee Sinnott]

I've done some digging into this with some people who should have a bit of an insight into what's happening. They claim its nonsense...

You'd be absolutely horrified at the prospect as a Blackpool fan, that alone should put them off...

Your dislike for the man is almost as weird as you. So bizzare.

No dislike brother, I don't know the man.

Sunday lunch with someone with good knowledge. Rumours have been doing the rounds and growing in intensity re Blackpool but thinks it's a non-starter and mainly down to social media nonsense. Everyone fully focussed on getting Latics up this season; promotion is absolutely required this season and no excuses will be accepted.

Mellon hasn't done enough here to warrant any attention from anybody and who's to say somebody wouldn't do better if he did happen to leave?
