I preferred it when you watched a match and gave your opinion, which I respected, all of a sudden you're Mel's P.A. and Nixon's ITK buddy, snap out of it kidda, it's embarrassing!

Alph Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Doesn't matter if Mel is unhappy. It's not his place. You employ a coaching team you 100% trust. You leave them to it. You don't undermine them. For those saying "he has every right to..." Different story when it's Cellino or Fawaz. If Nixon is lying then I'm sure he'll be in the ****. There's a chain of command for a reason. Start skipping the chain and it will break. We heard all about Clement's ability. Let him show it. Don't tread on his toes. If he can't do what you want. Sack him. Obviously not the man you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 There has to be something in what Nixon is saying this time. He wouldn't dare make this up unless he wants a one way ticket to a court case. Of course he was wrong with the transfers but this is a whole new kettle of fish because this essentially slander.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that if any accusations are thrown about regarding Mel being unhappy, it will probably be something along the lines of the above. It's such an easy write-up for somebody who wants to create a bit of mischief and sell a fake story. Glad you got in quick - I was just going to post this....

We don't know exactly what he said or if he raised his voice. Blackman and Camara are new and Ince's recent form has been better. But Weimann, Martin, Russell, Hendrick and Johnson have not been good enough. Too may players have not been good enough for a while. That needs to change now. Because our recent form is starting to reflect those poor performances. We got away with it before. But not now. Strangely enough, only a complete idiot would go barging in and scream at players, blaming them for not being good enough. That's not how things work.

CornwallRam Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If we were 15th and in need of points to be certain of safety, I still doubt that Mel would throw his weight around in the dressing room. It simply isn't his role. He might call Clement into his office for a serious chat, he might even sack Clement, but Mel is canny enough to know that undermining the manager/head coach is not the way to go. As we're 3rd and doing pretty well overall, I suspect that Mel is being very supportive of Paul Clement right about now. I'm calling BS on the Nixon story.

Not worth bothering about, he thinks he's relevant, he likes the attention, he's so obviously a wanna be footballer without ever making the grade, ignore this pr1ck, he craves attention, I bet his wife has left him and he's a lonely soul, the kinda kid we all bullied at school!

What has he said that is slander? Paul Clement said that he had words in the dressing room, no problem with that. He then writes that the owner was not happy. I would guess that the owner was not happy, I was not happy, nobody I know was happy. Mel would not be doing cartwheels and cracking open the champagne after that performance. If you asked Mel if he was happy with that performance he would probably say something along of the lines of " no of course not and you are an idiot for asking that question". It is a nothing comment that has been misread by the gullible. No offence meant of course. :-) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night we played badly and got a point, despite being outplayed for most of the match. Just have to disagree then. Yes the result was better. The performance wasn't though.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I got the impression that Clement had been positive with the players by and large all the way through which is why he was so mad with them? I don't know much but it would seem this is the next big learning curve for Clement in management. So far he's done well, but did have good cards to play. Now he's got to manage the squad / team and get it sorted. As for speculation about Mel's happy or not disposition.....i'd assume it's related to that performance only.

Van der MoodHoover Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Could be unhappy about a number of things. Recent performance (s), other results going against us, PCs apparent in-game inflexibility. But shouldn't Mel be making any displeasure known through Sam? I don't pretend to know exactly how derby have things set up but normally in a business the CEO is there to do the will of the Board who are appointed by the owners/shareholders. I've worked in financial services businesses where owners sidestepped the chain of command and regulatory authorities don't like it. Mind you, football regulators are somewhat different beasts. ..

Alan Ramage 4 EVA Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have heard from a very good source that Jake Buxton was looking after Mels dog at Moor Farm ,and he took it for a really really long walk . When Mel got back and tried to take his dog for a walk it was TOO tired and that is what got his dander up .So he went in the dressing room and threw a coffee cup at Jake.
