You must be minted or stupid, or both. get real mate, football in the championship is an expensive business, The way i see it is if we dont get rid of millen we will 100% go down either this or next season and lose 3m, he just spent another fortune in wages and signings so cant see why 1m on a proven manager is such a problem. Millen out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if he would but i would love to see him here, City will be a big job, we have a minted owner who backs his managers, a new ground on the hoizon, Million pound training faclities, academys etc, we have a lot going for us and to somebody like O'Driscoll we could represent a real challenge.

Rob k Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Have you seen where Donny are at the moment? Yep, but also potentially mid table with possibly one of the lowest budgets in the division. I dont see him having Money to chuck at the likes of Caulker, Rose, Stead, Keogh, Woolford etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristolRed11 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I was thinking more Chris Coleman,,but seen him alot on sky lately...maybe meaning he may want to do that more instead of management.

BCAGFC Maybe he would i dont know, what have sheff utd got going for them though? Trigger happy chairman with no funds to spend at the moment, when will SOD think ive now taken Donnie as far as i can and needs a totally new challenge with a bit of cash to spend? Maybe im just hoping as i want Millen out so bad as under him were going one way only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 So you reckon Keith Millen is on 1m a year? Probably not a 1M a year in wages but a compensation package would be hefty 2 to 3m surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Doncaster have lost 6 of their last 7 games, by the way, plus O'Driscoll turned down Sheff U recently, a bigger club than us and a job for which he wouldn't even have needed to move house. He wouldn't come here, so it's academic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcherryberry Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Managers like players all get stale at some point and i think SOD is at that stage with Doncaster. Like S.bcity said O'driscoll hasnt got the budget at Donny like he would have here for his current team to progress. Maybe he thought the job at Sheff Utd was too big? plus being rivals and struggling for cash he prob thought he was on a hiding to nothing. I personally thought we should of got him or tried too once coppell walked, not appoint a rookie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I do think that SOD has hit the wall at Donny as GJ did here. SOD has never had loads of cash to spend and probably prefers to work within a budget, GJ was the same, as soon as he started spending big cash on better players.....that is where the problems started IMO.

havanatopia Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 And it is exactly why shrinking violets do not have a good record of success at any club that starts to recruit players on big wages and big egos. I doubt you can put GJ into that category but he lost it for other reasons well documented or rumoured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 quick question, Where does this money come from? Our chairman who's already funding a 12 million loss as well as providing funds for Woolford and Keogh?

Fiale Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Who knows if he would but i would love to see him here, City will be a big job, we have a minted owner who backs his managers, a new ground on the hoizon, Million pound training faclities, academys etc, we have a lot going for us and to somebody like O'Driscoll we could represent a real challenge. Bold for emphasis - Millen is going nowhere, he will get the summer to ship of deadwood and bring in one or two players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 We will go Down then, if millen is in charge I will lump on us being relegated, at least it will soothe the pain a little! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 You do know that O'Driscoll won just 1 of his first 15 games in charge of Bournemouth and relegated them in his second season, right? If he'd been City manager we'd have booted him out long before he was able to build the kind of teams he's become known for. The know-it-alls on here would have declared him useless and insisted we got an experienced manager in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
