Guest Tony Montana Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 We need some motivation! And this guy will have the players terrified of him and get them playing. Shame the board may not like him but who cares !
Keith_Lemon Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I'd rather stick with KM then Billy 'Whining unless I have money to spend on average players' Davies.
A Horse With No Name Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 We need some motivation! And this guy will have the players terrified of him and get them playing. Shame the board may not like him but who cares ! Oh good God no. The last thing we need is a whinging, bullying Scotsman at the Gate. My choice would be Dave Jones.
beaverface Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 We need some motivation! And this guy will have the players terrified of him and get them playing. Shame the board may not like him but who cares ! NO!
Donald Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Oh god no!!!! never in a million years would I want that idiot at City
Guest Tony Montana Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 No? Ok lets stick with nice guy Millen...............................
chinapig Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 We need some motivation! And this guy will have the players terrified of him and get them playing. Shame the board may not like him but who cares ! He, nor any manager like him, would take the job unless given money. Keith has, and will keep, the job precisely because he is a rookie, will do what he is told and act as a human shield for Colin and Steve. The likes of Davies would not be prepared to be the fall guy for the managed decline we are going through. Get used to Keith's exciting brand of football for a long time to come.
Red Robin Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Some of our fans really make me wince,Aston gate is all to cushy. We need someone to rock it,get the passion,belief,and football back up to standard.
Northern Cider Ed Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I dont understand why some people wouldnt want a pretty successful manager even if he is a bit of a knob. Billy Davies would sort out this shambles. Weve currently got the nice guy manager and look where thats got us.
E.J.Thribb Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Some of our fans really make me wince,Aston gate is all to cushy. We need someone to rock it,get the passion,belief,and football back up to standard. Time for the East End to be given back fully to us. Today they made some good noise, even after the Brighton Fairies scored-imagine what 6,000 City fans could do with the acoustics. As for Billy boy, no no no no.......
Guest yate super reds Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 i would rather have johan neeskens
Turbored Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Time for the East End to be given back fully to us. Today they made some good noise, even after the Brighton Fairies scored-imagine what 6,000 City fans could do with the acoustics. . Not really sure where we could stick the away fans but i do agree we have lost the home advantage by letting the visitors fill the EE. And yes i agree the EE made a good noise today just like old times.
Riaz Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Billy Davies would at least be able to keep us up. Yes please
Webzcas Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Even Bill Oddie would be preferable to KM.
reddoc Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I'd happily take Davies or Jones . No doubt both would do a better job. If we were looking to do things on the cheap , what happened to Robins after Barnsley crapped on him? Thought he did fantastically up there with no money at all available to him.
fka dagest Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Some of our fans really make me wince,Aston gate is all to cushy. We need someone to rock it,get the passion,belief,and football back up to standard. You're right. The current set up stinks of an old boys club. Millen is a mate to Sexstone etc. The place really needs a shake up. Too many have been down there for too long in their little comfort zones. A new man should be appointed with full control over new playing staff etc,
Greedo Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 No, never. I'd rather have Louis Walsh as manager!
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 It needs a manager with vision and with a reputation for playing exciting Football to bring the crowds and enthusiasm back. I give you a name guaranteed to split opinion... Glenn Hoddle
Phileas Fogg Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 It needs a manager with vision and with a reputation for playing exciting Football to bring the crowds and enthusiasm back. I give you a name guaranteed to split opinion... Glenn Hoddle Yes please. Him or Davis would do a good job IMO.

beaverface Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 It needs a manager with vision and with a reputation for playing exciting Football to bring the crowds and enthusiasm back. I give you a name guaranteed to split opinion... Glenn Hoddle I'd agree with that, he know what it takes to get out this division playing proper possession football. Unfortunately, too many people will judge him on his beliefs.
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Glenn Hoddle would be a genius appointment, but i doubt it would happen. why not. He went to Wolves when they were in the Championship and sorted the Club out top to bottom
bcfcnick Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Hoddle would be good. He should have kept quiet but he was just expressing, admittedly crassly and insensitively, a belief in karma along similar lines to the beliefs of millions of Buddhists. He's obviously learned since then. If not Hoddle then worth looking at Paul Tisdale but definitely not Billy Davies or Dave Jones - like Coppell both would get disenchanted with a lack of transfer funds and use it as an excuse. They have both had big budgets and haven't set the league alight with cash so they are going to transform a club with zero cash to spend. The likes of Hoddle (or Tisdale) might be bold enough to start playing youngsters like Reid to give a spark of enthusiasm to the team.

I'd reserve judgement on Tisdale, let's see how he copes with Exeter being the wrong end of the table.
Guest Tony Montana Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Hoddle??? Please nooooooo Oh Dear
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 why not. He went to Wolves when they were in the Championship and sorted the Club out top to bottom Are you sure?? Maybe there's something behind the scenes I'm not aware of but his record for them is nothing to write home about.
Roadrunner Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 If not Billy Davies a Billy Davies type manager, who could shake things up and bang heads together . From the board, coaches, players and fans. I have enough of talkers i want DO'ERS.
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Are you sure?? Maybe there's something behind the scenes I'm not aware of but his record for them is nothing to write home about. No his immediate record was a lot of draws, but structurally the Club altered a good deal. The new structure enabled the Club to be promoted
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Hoddle??? Please nooooooo I guess you have your reasons?
Pezo Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Please not Billy Davies - Dave Jones, defiantly maybe - Glenn Hoddle, yes - Anyone mentions Gary Neville and I swear im going to lose faith in humanity.
City fan 1982 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 billy davies , or dave jones anyone but clueless keef
glynriley Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Please not Billy Davies - Dave Jones, defiantly maybe - Glenn Hoddle, yes - Anyone mentions Gary Neville and I swear im going to lose faith in humanity. How about Gary Neville...................'s former team mate Roy Keane. Would certainly shake the dressing room up.
City fan 1982 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 advertise the job and see who applies ?? thinking out of the box anyone other than jones or davis available or a boss in a job who might be interested ?
Pezo Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 How about Gary Neville...................'s former team mate Roy Keane. Would certainly shake the dressing room up. You tipped me onto the edge there! The guy has certainly made his mistakes - has he learnt from them and has he finished making silly ones? I don't think I would like Bristol City to be the next Roy Keane experiment.
Riaz Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I guess you have your reasons? He's clueless. And what has he achieved since getting Swindon promoted?
BCFC Jordan Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Absolutely ridiculous thread. Billy Davies is a horrible man and will simply complain about the lack of funds if he joined us. Even if he did join and created a side capable of promotion, we'd still just bottle it every year and the same goes for Dave Jones.
Slave to the rhythm Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 He, nor any manager like him, would take the job unless given money. Keith has, and will keep, the job precisely because he is a rookie, will do what he is told and act as a human shield for Colin and Steve. The likes of Davies would not be prepared to be the fall guy for the managed decline we are going through. Get used to Keith's exciting brand of football for a long time to come. I agree with you, sadly. Millen's not going anywhere yet. What I don't really understand is why the club's aim now seems to be to decline? What's the point of turning up at all if the club has a desire, and a plan, to fail?
Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Lee Clark from Huddersfield for me. Only lost 36 of over 150 games, won about 75, that ain't a bad record, young ambitious, passionate and played at the highest level.
Keith_Lemon Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Lee Clark from Huddersfield for me. Only lost 36 of over 150 games, won about 75, that ain't a bad record, young ambitious, passionate and played at the highest level. Hasnt Clark spent alot of money trying to get Huddersfield out of that league? Would be a no for me personally.
Redcliffe 78 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Lee Clark from Huddersfield for me. Only lost 36 of over 150 games, won about 75, that ain't a bad record, young ambitious, passionate and played at the highest level. Good shout, but he has said previously he wants to see the job through at Huddersfield. I can see him being a top manager one day not with us though i see him as the next Newcastle manager.
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 He's clueless. And what has he achieved since getting Swindon promoted? He managed Wolves, Chelsea, Saints, Tottenham and England.... all of whom look healthier than us at the mo. Swindon fans (and the couple of staff I know) thought he was a God. Hoddle clueless? Hey we'll never make drinking buddies
Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Hasnt Clark spent alot of money trying to get Huddersfield out of that league? Would be a no for me personally. Not that I can see, probably not as much as Forrest Millen.
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Patently Paul Scholes also thinks Hoddle is clueless. http://www.people.co.uk/sport/football/news/2011/07/10/scholes-hails-hoddle-as-best-england-manager-102039-23260287/
chinapig Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I agree with you, sadly. Millen's not going anywhere yet. What I don't really understand is why the club's aim now seems to be to decline? What's the point of turning up at all if the club has a desire, and a plan, to fail? Just my interpretation of course. Settle for survival (the too good to go down mindset seems to apply) amidst falling gates and dreadful entertainment. Wait for contracts to expire. Hope the team magically improves because players who aren't playing leave (can't follow the logic of out of favour players being blamed for the inadequacy of the in favour ones myself). Hope stadium goes ahead and generates extra revenue to fund an improvement and reverse the decline. Give Keith the job as an experienced manager might not do as he was told and be prepared to take the flak. Not an approach without logic, (though pretending we are really looking for promotion just makes fans more cynical), but very risky, being based on the assumption that Keith is up to all this with precious little evidence that he is. If we are in relegation danger come March I would expect a U-turn, with the purse strings loosened again, though whether Keith would be around to benefit is a moot point.
Riaz Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Patently Paul Scholes also thinks Hoddle is clueless. http://www.people.co...02039-23260287/ I cant ask scholes, but I'll ask you.... what has he acheived in his managerial career?
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I cant ask scholes, but I'll ask you.... what has he acheived in his managerial career? already answered you - a couple of points above my link to Scholes. Who would you (realistically) wish for anyway?
Riaz Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 already answered you - a couple of points above my link to Scholes. Who would you (realistically) wish for anyway? No you listed who he has managed - not acheivements. I'd be happy with Billy Davies or David Jones.... But not a manager who is living off his playing career or because he was lucky enough to get the england job
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 He managed Wolves, Chelsea, Saints, Tottenham and England.... all of whom look healthier than us at the mo. Swindon fans (and the couple of staff I know) thought he was a God. Hoddle clueless? Hey we'll never make drinking buddies His career is a mixed bag tbh... Swindon- success and no mistake. Chelsea- Hard to say, seems to get credit for his work there but his win ratio is 1/3. England- Mixed record- we were unlucky in WC but struggling to qualify from a not especially hard group when he got the boot. Southampton- Undoubtedly did a good job. Tottenham- Reign a while ago, hard to put their current success down to him. He got sacked with them in the drop zone and generally was ok but not fantastic there. Wolves- You said earlier in the thread that their current position was partially down to the way he changed the club. Well I can't really comment as I don't know enough about that.His win ratio was nothing brilliant though.
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 OK another link to Hoddle's managerial record. http://www.talkfootball.co.uk/guides/football_legends_glenn_hoddle.html I did say earlier that his name would split opinion. I personally think he'd revamp this Club out of all recognition, and though he probably wouldn't be around for long, would make us a far better outfit (as a whole) than we are at the moment. Whatever your feelings, I cant see the board being bold enough to appoint Hoddle - even if he was interested.
reddoc Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Wasn't he player/manager at Swindon which probably explains their success. Not sure about manager but if he was a little younger think he'd solve our midfield problems.

Not sure about manager but if he was a little younger think he'd solve our midfield problems. He was... and played just in front of the Back 4. He staggered some of the others when he asked how they wanted the ball played to them. Uh? Well I can put it over the top, but spinning back to you, put it to your feet, put it past you but slowing down after it hits the deck fa la la... what do you want?. He taught a lot of people an awful lot. He was also a big believer in Arsene Wengers methods (having played under him at Monaco_

Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I'm sure he's a good coach - but there isnt much to suggest he's a good manager. you pays yer money you takes yer choice. Of the original Billy Davis/Dave Jones argument I'd pick Dave Jones every time.
reddoc Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I'm sure he's a good coach - but there isnt much to suggest he's a good manager. Not sure on that one. Most of the managerial greats have periods they'd prefer to forget, even Cloughie had Leeds. I still thinks Hoddles England of 98 were the the England team that had a genuine chance to win a major comp and you have to remember Campbell won the Argentina game for us with the golden goal .Or not. From there who knows.
Forza Revolution Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Interesting to see who would apply. Dave Jones current favourite
Brissie Red Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I know it's a name most will be unfamiliar with, but it has to be Ange Postecogolou from the Brisbane Roar. In his first full season took us from 2nd bottom to champions only losing 1 game all season. Gets his team to play the same way as Arsenal and Barcelona. He'll instil his football philosophy throughout the club, all teams will play 4-3-3 from the youth through to the seniors, he'll give the kids a chance if they're good enough and you get to watch attractive, fast paced football.
myol'man Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 If not Billy Davies a Billy Davies type manager, who could shake things up and bang heads together . From the board, coaches, players and fans. I have enough of talkers i want DO'ERS. A Billy Davies type manager like Gary Johnson maybe? More likely outcome will be (Tinnion), sorry Carey, appointed as caretaker, wins 3 games, then gets job full time, all ends in tears as another City legend gets hounded out.
JudgeRed Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Football League Managers looking for work Mark Hughes for me.from this choice.
Pewsham Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 The current favourite to get the bullet in the Championship is simon Grayson. Keef is at 8/1
Guest MC Risk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Some of our fans really make me wince,Aston gate is all to cushy. We need someone to rock it,get the passion,belief,and football back up to standard. Pretty sure johnson did that for 2 seasons in the championship.....my god thinking back they were good days!!! anyone, rememer the wolves game i think first season back in championship. absolute driving rain and horrific wind, match was on tv but we had a near full house.....2-0 down just after half time, then maynard and adebola got us level......place was rocking and we had chances to win, i have no belief now that when our backs are against the wall millen can rouse us to come back like that Good times, and didnt care less about getting soaked on the walk back to hen and chicken
glynriley Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 The current favourite to get the bullet in the Championship is simon Grayson. Keef is at 8/1 That will change after they give us a dicking next week !!
steviestevieneville Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 why does everyone want that vile little **** Davies. Him and Jones want millions to spend and we haven't got it so no point getting either of those two. I'd rather we had Warnock or Holloway in charge than horrible sweaty sock and i hate both of them as well!
Andy Horsman Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Sadly in football, when you aren't a 'sexy' club, your failed manager is more often than not either going to be replaced by a novice or another failed manager!! I can honestly say that I haven't got a clue who I would want to take over from Millen. Hoddle is a complete ****, his weird beliefs and outrageous comments have made him virtually unemployable. As the father of 2 severely disabled kids I would love to punch him in his smug godbothering face. Great player though!! Jones is patently a nearly man who always comes accross as too laid back, passive and a bit 'downbeat' like his fellow scouser Coppell (and we wouldn't want to go THERE again...). Davies would complain about having insufficient funds if he was managing at Man City. No way would he come to City with NO money to spend. Curbishley, is like the new Keegan, an allegedly legendary 'top' manager who has done well at one club only, many moons ago and is linked with various jobs but has been out of the loop too long in my humble opinion. O'Driscoll and Tisdale, the 'youngish' propsects who have long been championed on here are facing struggles worse than Millen's at present, so the jury has to be out there. Robins? Maybe but again he hasn't exactly set the football world on fire. Wigley, NO!!! Disaster at Southampton. Jamo? No, player-managers are more often very unsuccessful and we need an experienced manager to get the best out of this squad, which isn't all that bad. So I'm a pain in the arse really. Not happy with Millen, but absolutely clueless about a suitable replacement. Don't suppose Moyes is feeling homesick for BS3??!!! :innocent06:
kiwicolin Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 we care. we don't want him here. he is a nasty bloke and will ruin our club
CiderHider Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 wtf Pikey Davies? No thanks. We have Millen.
Guest BristolCityFC1 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 All of YOUs who would prefer to keep that donkey we call Millen rather than get a decent manager with fire and passion i.e. Billy Davies - you need your heads examined! after yesterdays performance and all the other crap seen this season, i feel like not bothering as well
