wiggles Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 What do people make of 'Millys' input? How much credit does he deserve for the great times under Johnson, and therefore how much responsibility should he take for the failure of Tinnion, particularly bearing in mind that Tins was player/manager for a season, and Millen had extra input?

bh_red Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Key Member of the Coach Squad and part of the reason of why we are here now. it's worth noting that if your mentioning that he was part of the "Tinnion setup" that the season when Tinnion was player manager, we did arguebly better than when Tinnion was just a Manager........so you could almost say that we were better when Millen had a "extra input" no suprise that Millen was kept on after Tinnion left. also interesting that Millen was made a scapegoat for part of Tinnion's failure......by Tinnion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Gary would never have kept him on if he didn't rate him. Keith is highly qualified and apparently much respected in the game. Anyway he's the only one who can switch the ProZone computer on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 and he seems to be the coach whilst GJ is teh manager, I wouldnt be suprised if KM took the training sessions just like he is in charge of pre match preperations. KM seems very vocal on the bench too, so it seems he is very important to the club as part of the management team was a brilliant player too!!

bringbacktherobin Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Future manager??? I think he could do the job when Sir Gary calls it a day.. Or maybe he is just a number two? Some people are born to lead and manage, others are born just to take the role behind the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Lad Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Or maybe he is just a number two? Some people are born to lead and manage, others are born just to take the role behind the manager. Fair point, but I reacon from his point of view he's learning. He learnt from Tinnion, and now from Johnson. I reacon he wants to be manager one day, but at the moment just wants to learn so when his time comes he is as good as he can be.

Dolman_Dave Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 There was a strong rumour going around that Steve Thompson, GJs number two at Yeovil, would join us in the same capacity. But by the time he decided to stand down at Yeovil it appeared that GJ was impressed enough with the number two he had inherited i.e. Millen to not bother. There's a Watford connection there too so they would have known each other before they worked here. Millen seems to be the more level headed one. Have a look at the bench reaction to Noble's goal at Palace and you will see what I mean. Millen allows himself a split second of pure celebration and then is barking out orders at the team again and telling everyone to calm down, while GJ is still bouncing around the touchline. Priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Future manager??? I think he could do the job when Sir Gary calls it a day.. oh no... don't go there. the footballing world is littered with vast numbers of assistants taking over and failing abjectly.. the two most recent.. McClaren and Sammy Lee.. ....the list is mind bogglingly endless.. he may be a gaffer one day and he may do that at city but not until he has managed elsewhere first and had his ups as well as downs.
