Tranmere defender Ritchie Sutton is relishing the new brand of football Micky Mellon has brought to Prenton Park and believes it has added another dimension to his game.
The manager spoke about how the fans have recognised the style of football he has brought to the club after the side’s 1-0 win over York City in the National League.
Sutton is now a regular fixture alongside Steve McNulty in the heart of defence and is an integral part of the new passing style which has seen so much league success in the last two months.
“I’ve played in more direct sides rather than playing out from the back, so I’ve picked it up pretty well and the manager seems to be happy with me. |  | | |

He’s only three years older than Potter
He has 5 promotions on his CV, albeit at a lower level.
Knowledge of the lower leagues where we can pick up some gems
His teams play decent football
He’s had experience working with youngsters
Since when as a club were we only interested in “names”? |
....Laudrup didn’t do too badly! |  |

No he didn’t.
Neither did Potter, Rodgers and Martinez.
I guess though you’ve only been watching us for a couple of years | | | |

....yes, only a few years give or take 45 years since age of 5 in Enclosure.
If you think Micky Mellons track record (below) is worthy of being a Swansea manager then you obviously know jack all about football:

I’m not sure what you expect tbh mate.
We are either going to go for someone with success in a lower league, whether that’s here or abroad (I.e Potter/Mellon)
Or we are going to go for someone who has a mixed record at this level, here or abroad (Sousa/Rodgers/Poyet)
Or we are going to go for a bit of a rookie either with experience of the club (Martinez/Monk/Toshack/Tate) or someone with no experience at the club but a bit of a name (Batistuta)
All are going to come with their upside and all are going to come with downsides
I don’t know what about Mellon’s successful career to date makes him unworthy of managing the Swans (i.e a cash strapped mid table Championship side) | | | |

No one can know for sure if he is: 'worthy of being a Swansea manager'.
Martinez managerial record before us was zero, Mellon could be great for us, or he could be no good. |  |

I don’t know a great deal about Mellon, but when you just look at his tats in terms of promotions play offs etc it looks decent, however there needs to be context around that. If he’s gone to clubs who’ve been the big spenders in their Division splashing the cash on players etc it puts a different spin on things.
Personally, I would discount the no experience of managing but knows the club option, I would also discount the experienced high profile pro who’s never managed before, which leaves lower league option or the mixed record option. If it were me, I would be looking outside the U.K. at options with proven track records in Spain, Germany or the Netherlands including reserve team managers who’ve shown they can cut it. As things stand, I think Norwich would be a club to emulate. | | | |
