Most people got what they wanted in Mellon going. This is the possible outcome. Tough. Tough on all of us i'm afraid whether you wanted Mellon gone or not. Bentley is lucky Morecombe still want him looking at their lack of doing anything except struggle to stay up, never mind the ridiculous idea of him coming to us . You do realise that he has one of the smallest budgets in league 2, but yet manages to keep them in the league don't you. Some clubs have realistic ambitions. Unlike ours it appears. Anyway, if he does come how about giving him a chance. |

Yeah, if we are going for someone who keeps low budget teams in Division 2 then Accrington's Coleman has a better track record, only to fail when he extended himself and went to Rochdale. Still is another example. Great with Dagenham and Redbridge but failed with Luton. Both managers are now back with their original Clubs. Good point that about John Coleman. I associate him so much with Accrington that I've forgotten that he went to Rochdale at one point. |

In the Star this afternoon, Brian Caldwell is now stating that the club have now received over 100 applicants. He says that all of these deserve their cv to be looked at. The process of compiling a short list for interviews will then begin. Primary School teachers always welcome letter writing practice for their pupils! |

Look back at an earlier post of mine on this thread and that explains my stance on this. |

I'd welcome him, purely on the basis of winding up Telford fans who love the bloke. Childish I know but little things like that get me through the day

If over 100 have applied and he's not one of them then why consider him? Surely there are better candiadates in those 100 than him? Unless Radcliffe & Simpson have sent in multiple applications?

Is this a Liam Boyce scenario ie where a suggestion of interest becomes close to undoubted fact because it has been repeated so much?
Just think of the complaints from the masses if we have to pay compensation for a lower league manager.

Jesus why are people getting so worried about this?!
There's nothing to show he's been talked to or even contemplating an offer.
Betting odds? So what, they won't have much idea of what's going on! Cottrell was their favourite and he wasn't interested. Look how wrong the bookies were on the last election and brexit. Shrewsbury manager market will have few bets attached and I imagine one small rumour or bet will see odds slashed. And between the 5 pages on here and the 3 on Morecambe's page no wonder his odds are low!

How many Shrewsbury fans have been clamouring for Mellons head for doing exactly that? |

Someone rumoured it, then both Shrewsbury and Morecambe's fan are repeating it using each others talk as evidence it's happening! Obviously this won't be happening when a possible manager doesn't have a club! Do we seriously think we'll pay compensation for a new manager when there's alternative's available without this?! |

The process of compiling a short list for interviews will then begin. This will surely take a few days and I would imagine that leading contenders may well be invited to a second interview. This seems to me, to be a sensible and logical approach. If, and it's a big I if, the club approach Morecambe tomorrow, all the above would appear to be fiction. That being so, I don't see BC hanging around long if he is branded as untruthful. So they haven't bothered approaching Clubs in an attempt to speak to such person as a sought after lower league candidate successful Manager. Or the type of managers who's reputation doesn't require him to apply but gets approached. They're only taking interest from applicants mainly the unemployed. |

Can't see what the problem is, Bentley has done a good job at Morecombe and on a shoestring budget. I can see him coming here with Drummond as his assistant. I would like to see a bigger name come and my first choice would be Holloway, as he has a decent record in the lower leagues turning clubs around, and tries to play attractive football. At the end of the day we all want to see effort and be entertained and with Holloway you will get that.kenny Jackett may be a good manager, but can he work with a smaller budget. Whoever we end up with, we need to back them and the team as the mess left by Mellon will not be cleaned up overnight.

He has done an amazing job at Morecambe and deserves an opportunity higher up. Look at Lee Johnson at Bristol City, Nathan Jones at Luton and the flukeyest of them all in Karl Robinson at MK Dons? Do you really think that the fans of these clubs were bowled over by these appointments? Course they weren't, but JB is more qualified than any of them and could prove better than any of them!! Will never know unless he gets a shot. If he stays at Morecambe I expect them to plummet down the table soon as they have the smallest and cheapest squad in the division and would be in the bottom quarter of budgets in the Conference as well. If Wycherley appoints him he will have had backing from at least 5 other managers that's a guarantee! Every single one of the applicants will have failed at another at some point................. and if JBis the chosen one.... it would be an uninspiring yet safe choice.

Makes more sense than going from club to club getting knockback after knockback irritating other clubs and unsettling their managers. Doesn't stop managers currently in jobs applying. |

Interview took place over the weekend. Job has been offered. Could be confirmed, if JB accepts, over the next couple days. I suggest you lot start to give him your full backing if you intend to stay in League One!

Makes more sense than going from club to club getting knockback after knockback irritating other clubs and unsettling their managers. Doesn't stop managers currently in jobs applying. Managers in form and demand will not need to apply, they get asked to come and join via their board/chairman, then can ask for a bigger wage as it's the Club wanting him. A manager applying is seeking the Club a bit like Big business head hunting. |

We need to give whoever turns up a fair go chaps. Bentley or whoever. As mentioned above from one or two others, success can be measured in varying ways.

Tough on all of us i'm afraid whether you wanted Mellon gone or not. Bentley is lucky Morecombe still want him looking at their lack of doing anything except struggle to stay up, never mind the ridiculous idea of him coming to us . Interesting timing. The last 2 weeks Jim has been strongly linked to 2 jobs , Tranmere and Shrewsbury. Morecambe FC has just been bought out by a Brazilian (based in Qatar) Diego Lemos and a Qatar businessman who's name escapes me but he was at the game on Saturday! They have been brought in to take the club to at least one higher level and they hope the Championship like Burton who we were bigger than a few years back. initially they are going to build the 4th stand as well as other ground development and also build a hotel on the land at the front of the Globe. They are also looking at ways to improve our fanbase. With the transfer window now closed it is anticipated that in January there will be some serious team strengthening for a push. One just wonders if Jim has got wind that they may want someone else spending the money. The chap who mentioned the 0-3 result on Saturday ought to also notice other results Jim has achieved including 2-0 v Portsmouth and 3-2 at Accrington after being 2-0 down. We have won 3 matches from losing positions so far which shows fight. Interesting times ! |

As much as I don't like it the deal seems probably to have been done and he will be leaving you lot this week. |

You do realise that he has one of the smallest budgets in league 2, but yet manages to keep them in the league don't you. Some clubs have realistic ambitions. Unlike ours it appears. Anyway, if he does come how about giving him a chance. He's managing the Club and has them around the level they should be. How many Shrewsbury fans have been clamouring for Mellons head for doing exactly that? Some of us have a more realistic view of where the Club are and where we should be, others don't and that's fine. If Mellon had kept us up then job done as far as I'm concerned. But you're right the next manager will probably be aiming to do exactly the same. And so on in with current set-up. |

Top half of Div 1 is probably our rightful place but why not want more or at least try. But I have seen the town in the old Div 2/Championship and Crewe In the Championship, Both did well for a few years so I don't see it as just a pipe dream. It as to be our goal or why bother?

I'll never believe that any club has a "rightful place." A lot of clubs below us would argue their "rightful place" is higher. They'd be wrong. |

I do. Telford United have found theirs. Scrambling about in the lower reaches of The Tinpot League, (North), they can't even afford a coach. (That's Juan with four wheels).
Perhaps Telford taxpayers will bail them out again.
