YouRams Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Fair play to Mel, came under heavy criticism last season, seems to have taken a back seat and listened to what the fans want. Very sensible getting a manager in, and one with something about him. Us fans need to be patient and not expect to walk the league, some very good teams with good managers in the championship next season, going to be an exciting one COYR!

DRBee Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 2 hours ago, Half fan said: Although I do not know what Mel said secondly, I stll rate this a disturbing reply. Successful people often reply to a difficult question with a quip like Mel's, as a cover up to avoid telling the truth or an outright lie. A more reassuring answer would have been that he and Sam have consciously decided to offer Nigel the post of Manager and not Head Coach as his two predecessors were, and have given him the scope and key to the dressing room door which the role of Manager warrants. Worse still, the fact that Mel refers to Schteve and PC as Managers when they weren't, suggests that he fails to see the difference between Manager and Coach. I hope Nigel pursues this issue in private with Mel and Sam this afternoon. If Nigel left tonight, leaving Mel on the floor, I wouldn't be surprised. What is the evidence exactly showing that he interfered? Whatever , the important thing is that Mel has changed tack and realised an experienced manager is right for us at this point and for that he deserves a lot of credit. He calls it part of the 'evolution' of the club which is a tactful way of describing learning from mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the nail on the head there, patience will be key. Unfortunately some of the experts on here will only give him 6 games before they start spouting their tripe.

They need to ask themselves do we want to be that team like the gumps and Leeds having more managers than wins in a season or do we want stability hopefully leading to the premier league. He's the man to take us up but it could take more than one season as it did with Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy innit? Mel could say "sorry I'm late, I went to the shop" What does he mean? Does he mean "Sorry! (that I'm here) I'm late (a statement on its own) I went to the shop. What shop? A metaphorical shop? Did he mean we're getting a new striker? Or does he mean he put himself in the shop window and he's selling us to a Greek criminal. It's difficult to break down and get what he really means. I've watched it over and over again and when he said shop he had a glint in his eye. I think he might be trying to bring Yaya Toure in. Or does "I've been to the shop" still mean "I've had a gangbang with the players wives and Colin Gibson while Gordon Guthrie sponged down Shackell. Tom Ince was invited but refused." Always more to these interviews than meets the eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half fan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Have now had time to watch the whole recording. The important conclusion is that when when Mel and NP go head to head as they will at some point, they will both respect the conclusion of their conversation and move on - and the players will know that the resulting decisions are club decisions and not personal ones about which some other executive might have reservations. A bit like having two parents who sing from the same hymn sheet - no chink for unruly kids to exploit or moan about. And the selection of Chris Powell glues this cornerstone in place simply because of the historical bond Chris has with Nigel and their mutual respect as football people. This augurs well for the focus and consistency clearly needed to gain promotion. Mel, NIgel and Chris- what a trio of guys! (I suppose some might say, what a threesome.)

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just watched it. All you need to do is look at the ties. The boss and three weak yes men. Only kidding, the all spoke well, very strong united front placed, with the odd moment of warmth from Powell. He fielded the Leicester question very well. Mel's comment about interfering, meh, they were hoping he'd bite after the dressing room thing. Perhaps not scathing wit, but no story there either. I suspect under Pearson's exterior he's a bit of a nutter who might say something daft under stress about ornithology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roosram Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 What a difference between this time last year and today. Last year we had an understandably nervous, unsure PC being led through his press conference, hand being held by Mel and Sam. This time we had the assured and measured responses of a manager in total control. NP emits confidence. I was excited by PC's appointment last year and hoped he would grow into the job, which to be fair he was doing. But, even though NP wouldn't have been my choice as manager, that interview has given me confidence Mel has got this one right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
