I won't believe any of those sort of rumours until they happen, don't want to call you a lier but track record of people in the know isn't that great around here, anyway losing I can take not competeing I can not which is why theres been a angry reaction this time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ive heard on good grounds that if he doesnt win 3 out of 5- Hes History Channel. With a replacement already lined up but is in contract at another club.. (may not be for long hey) So this replacement will cost how much?.. will want how much in terms of available funds to bring in players that the current manager already knows he requires but aint allowed to get? Will inherit a load of surplus to requirement players who wont just walk away & noone else wants. Could be a bargain if he has a magic wand -if not how are things gonna improve?.... & who says given the funds that Millen couldnt pull a rabbit out of the hat too? Cost or replacing Millen and paying off his contract , recruiting a replacement (with I presume compo payments to current club) & providing transfer market funds would add up to quite a lot of dosh.... if its available for that -why isnt it available to buy us what we really need right now SOME GOOD PLAYERS IN OUR DEFENCE?? Whoevers in charge the millstone round our neck of unwanted players & wage bills will remain anyway til next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, you probably know best.. ..not knocking you mate, its the club that needs sorting out, if their plans are as described then money cant be the issue is all I'm saying, & it'll cost more to implement than giving the current manager the funds he needs to sort this mess out... Next year, when the rubbish has been swept away things might look a darn sight better, just cant see any new broom being able to do much right now unless cash is available for new players - & thats something the present management could with, then we can progress.

Guest punnett Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It's not the fact that we have lost the first 2 games that is the problem but the manner in which we have lost them, woeful at the back still, we are in exactly the same position as we were 12 months ago but luckily the excellent Caulker came on board and carried the rest of the defence single handedly and i put all the credit down to him for even keeping us in the division last year, amazingly we have been stuck with the same paceless left-back for 4 yrs with still no sign of a replacement, one of the worst right-backs i can ever remember in NH, a Centre Half in DS who would struggle in the 4th division, the other defenders seem to be either to inconsistent or injury prone (i excuse the promising Wilson from any criticism) all of this while Millen has been either the manager or defensive coach, i thought appointing him was a poor decision and nothing i have seen in his year in charge has changed my opinion, the decent games at AG last season were far outweighed by the poor ones, with the embarrassing and pathetic displays against Watford, Sheff Weds and Swansea springing to mind. He should be sacked today and bring someone in who can rejuvinate the team and fans alike and so end the doom and gloom we are already in at such an early part of the season.

Guest Black Rat Lover_89 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think everyone needs to calm down its only two games in!! i think after 7/8 games if we are still pretty much bottom then KM needs the boot but not after 2 games, also after 7/8 games theres still time for the new gaffer to turn it round. As for his transfer activity i think he has been pretty decent bringing in pitman/stead/caulker last season and even spence is decent, cant say the same for woolford though as i think hes pants! i must say though i cant understand why he hasent bought more bodies into defence its clear we are failng in that area or maybe James cant organise them very well which is why i personaly think we should give Deano a run in the team to see how he does. anyone who went to the cardiff game will tell that 1st half we were a disaster but 2nd half we passed it better didnt panic as much and eventually scored, if we play like that againest Svens men in the week for 90 mins im sure we can grab 3 points!

Guest sumcharred Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Millen has to go, should have gone when GJ left, too long he has been a part of the problem (defensive coach ffs) not part of the solution. And never mind only 2 games into this season, he had almost all last season and the close season, only to see us under performing in pre-season against lower league times and arriving unprepared for the real thing - just like under copout. Too many bizarre team selection errors, like not starting Kilkenny, sticking Pitman left wing, prefering the ineffective Skuse to the reliable Cisse & even the continued cold shoulder of Hunt (who was one solid performer in pre-season by all accounts). Enough is enough, let's do a Norwich act decisively like they did after a cr@p start two seasons ago, dismiss Millen and start moving forward again!

Ron Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Millen is taking a lot of stick, but i feel the players have to take more responsibility. If they are not tracking back and/or making individual errors, that is the players fault not the managers. I agree with you, and it was much the same with the last minute issue in 2009/10, but the longer it goes on without being addressed (cause and effect) the more Millen becomes culpable.

WellRedPhil Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 One of the issues is of course the lack of outstanding candidates unless we spend, which of course seems unlikely. Whilst this is by no means the best reason for keeping the current manager it is something to keep in mind and Millen should have at least a bit of time to repair the situatuion. We had one win in ten last year remember. It is of course hugely disturbing and the lack of fight showed yesterday was simply not acceptable. I'm only 19 but have never felt so disillusioned with the Club in the whole time I have followed City. From top to bottom there seems to be a sense of despair and as a bunch of players I certainly seem more disconnected from them than any other group in my lifetime. We're of course still just two games into the season and shouldn't get carried away but obviously if the losses continue we will have to do something. Although with no money to spend even if we did bring someone in they may struggle to get much out of our squad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not enough of a named manager for much of the city faithful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellRedPhil Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Shaun O'Driscoll's achievements have been exaggerated a lot, Tisdale is a top shout though. Exaggerated? I disagree. If you look at what he's done there, the squad he's built considering the money he's spent, all whilst playing a great passing game, he has to be applauded. Sure they were near the bottom last year and it's going to be tough but they cannot spend huge amounts so buy wisely. Acquire good lower league talent and players other clubs have wasted in wrong positions. He's done an exemplary job in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I am not even sure if he is looking to get back into football with his academy setup, but if Millen is to be replaced (and I hope he isn't) then hoddle could be a good appointment, no money to pay out, a pretty good record at club management, not bad as England manager and he may be able to attract players. Depends if he is forgiven for his opinions. Good record? Remind me of his acheivememts as a manager. Seem enough with England to know he is also clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Good record? Remind me of his acheivememts as a manager. Seem enough with England to know he is also clueless he was a good manager but has been out of management far to long now to even get a look in, I don't like him as a person for what he said about the disabled but then again people have said worst in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
