Micky Mellon has today been sacked as Tranmere Rovers manager following a prolonged poor run of results.
After narrowly missing out on a play-off place last season, there were hopes the Whites would again be challenging at the top end of the League Two table and vying for promotion. That has not transpired, with the club currently sat 14th in the league and 11 points adrift of the top seven.
Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat by Newport County proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Mellon, who appeared increasingly dejected when delivering post-match press conferences in recent weeks.
