Micky Mellon on his way!

Micky Mellon on his way!

IAN Holloway has urged Preston to look at Micky Mellon in the search for their new manager.


North End are without a manager after Phil Brown left by mutual consent earlier in the week.

And Blackpool manager Holloway, who is a close friend of Mellon, has backed his Fleetwood Town counterpart for the Deepdale hotseat.

Holloway said: “If I was Preston and I was looking for a new manager, I’d look no further than Micky Mellon.

“He’s going to be a top manager one day, if he isn’t already.”

“We’ve bounced a few ideas off each other over the last couple of years. He came to see me a few times and I’ve never met anyone as enthusiastic about football.

“He was maybe even more enthusiastic than me. I couldn’t shut him up and he couldn’t shut me up.

“We became friends throughout that first season I was here.

“We might have fallen out a little bit last season, but when I needed some support the other week he was there for me.

“Until I came here I always just saw him as a Bristol City man and I was Rovers, so we never really spoke.

“But I’m glad we do now – he’s a top man

Left by mutual consent? does that mean both parties accepted his resignation or that both parties accepted that his contract was terminated by the employer?
 
We need an owner like their's, he treats that club just like a big boy's toy. He knows what to do to get promoted and he's doing exactly that. Good Luck to them. Plus some of their fans dislike Blackpool as much as us 🙂!

What`s a posh boy like you doing following 'football' ? I thought rugger or jolly hockey sticks would be more your cup of tea, old bean. I guess mixing with those roughians in Preston must give you a taste of the real World after Rossall and Wrea Green...although you won`t see much football in Preston.
As for Fleetwood hating Blackpool as much as PNE...get real! Half their gate is made up of `Pool fans when BFC aren`t playing.

Or could it be that 2000 of your gate is because Fleetwood are away?🙂
