AND DO YOU THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME THE BOARD PUT THE CLUB UP FOR SALE AS WELL AND DO WE THINK ANY ONE WOULD BUY THE CLUB.
screech Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Curbishley still believes he's a Premier League manager, he's only been linked here by supporters who tell a few porkies now and again. Great appointment but It's not remotely true about him being linked.
Guest CIDERARMY1986 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 if not curbishley who would come to the club as we are now
BCFC Jordan Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Tisdale/ Mark Robins/ Sean O'Driscoll.
Superjack Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Go to the LMA website and click on 'Available Managers'. You will be presented with a list of candidates, at least 80% of which would do a better job than Millen.
ChubStixx Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Yep, Curbishley will be announced as manager wednesday morning. He's bought a house in Clifton and relocated his family to the area. And yeah, lets sell the club for no particular reason.

Guest Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Dave Jones for me ta if he would come that is, might see it as a step down though
Guest Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Or peter reid who must now be living in the south and is a passionate kick arse manager

Talk Of The Town Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 but he has 5 houses in clifton, Also Dave Jones and Billy Davies seem to live in costa coffee in portishead Dont forget about his pad in failand and the Appartment on Portishead Marina next to Johny Depp
RedZepperin Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Sean O'Driscoll to be appointed soon. Keith to stay on as his assistant. Steve Wigley's role to fizzle out. In my little head anyway.
Guest Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Thought Keano was manager of Finland or Iceland now?
Guest GGBluebird Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Lots of talk over here that Dave Jones is being lined up for you, all still only rumours at the moment tho
BristolNorthEndRed Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Lots of talk over here that Dave Jones is being lined up for you, all still only rumours at the moment tho Don't know your thoughts about Dave Jones, but I'd like to see him here as manager.

Robbored Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Paul Tisdale. Yep, doing a great job at Exeter............
Robbored Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Don't know your thoughts about Dave Jones, but I'd like to see him here as manager. Failed at Cardiff with the strongest squad they've had in years. Apparently he did nothing about the drinking culture within the club and that took its toll in the end.
Riaz Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Yep, doing a great job at Exeter............ your so short-sighted. Why do you never seem to give credit to managers who get promotions?? He's took them from the conference, to league one and have them punching above their weight - and he's done that with little resources The fact he kept them up last season was another good acheivement. Oh but lets just concentrate on this season... you never look at the bigger picture.

He's done a great job down there , but maybe he has gone as far as he can with one club and now needs to move on to get the juices flowing again.
Robbored Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Billy Davies falls out with boards for a pastime. He's never got enough money to spend despite spending millions at Derby and Forest. Always someones else's fault, never down to him. We've been there before.......

Not saying he is the answer - but would be interesting to see how he handles a bigger job with some resources.

Apparently he did nothing about the drinking culture within the club and that took its toll in the end. Got them to the playoff final 2 years running, the rest is down to the players but he hardly spent any money and most of his players were Premier League loanee's. Good loans as well, not kids.

Good loans as well, not kids. Oh, right. Its not the managers fault when the team fails then. As for PL loans. That's not a policy that I'm a fan off. Getting promotion or to the play-offs when not using your own players is wrong imo.
Riaz Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Oh, right. Its not the managers fault when the team fails then. I'd rather fail and be a play off loser - than fail and get relegation
cityboy Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Oh, right. Its not the managers fault when the team fails then. Not if your name is Keith it would seem.

The drinking culture; to be honest I couldn't care less if they get p1ssed out of their faces, as long as they do the business on the pitch. Didn't seem to do Stan Bowles any harm.

You obviously don't realise just how damaging alcohol is to professional athlete's. The list of the harm it does is almost endless. In Stan Bowles day, most of the players drank in the same way. Ignorance was bliss back then. Nowadays its a big no no. Why do suppose that Andy Carroll got so much stick after he'd been seen out several times drinking? Similar outcry when the England rugby boys had a night out on the lash.

havanatopia Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 All of this I know and understand. I said I don't care. I tend to agree. everyone needs to let their hair down once in a while just so long as they don't.. make a fool of themselves, get into trouble or come in for training still hung over. Do it on the pitch and as long as they abide by a few rules as above then fine in my view.

Oh but lets just concentrate on this season... you never look at the bigger picture. Spot on. Plus he is forced to sell his best players each season. This time it was their top scorer and obviously Ryan Harley. Yes Tisdale has turned down big big jobs in the past (Southampton beng one of them) but he said hismelf the time wasnt right. Still needed to learn his trade then but i think now he will be thinking it's time for a change. Loved his time when on loan here so who knows. IMO he's perfect for us.

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 If they could do a better job then they would be employed by someone else by now. BCAGFC Perhaps one of them should have been employed by us by now? Let's face it, if KM lost his job next week he'd be struggling to get any sort of managerial position for a very long time. If the name Keith Millen featured on an the LMA list he'd be amongst the last to get an interview. At the risk of repeating myself ad infinitum City had "dozens of quality applications" last time the job was advertised. Our Chairman chose to offer the management of a Championship club to "rookie" Keith Millen - God only knows why, no other club would have, that's for sure. A truly baffling decision which has haunted this club ever since.

Oh but lets just concentrate on this season... you never look at the bigger picture. Agree with the above. I'm still in the KM camp for a little longer and if we did get rid, who knows how anyone else would do with this squad. A lot of a managerial appointment is luck, timing and personalities gelling. BUT, the idea that Paul Tisdale is doing a bad job because Exeter are in the relegation zone at the moment is so maddeningly ignorant that I wonder if it hasn't been said as a joke or with tongue in cheek. Ive said it before on a different thread but his managerial record thus far across two different teams is incredible - each time with almost no money and each season losing his best players. Where would Jose Mourinho or Alex Ferguson have that side and with that budget? Surely Exeter's natural position in that league is 24th, so currently he is overperforming and a couple of wins and everything looks really different. Of course Exeter are going to fight relegation in that league every year. Same as Doncaster in our league. And if SoD and PT can keep their respective teams in their current leagues, it just shows what talented managers they are. Like I say, Im not Millen out currently and really hope he turns it round, but if we are looking for a new manager in the next few months, it depresses me the idea that we will dismiss obvious talent because they happen to have over-performed in previous seasons and so their teams are now batting above their average. Would it be ok to appoint Tisdale next season if his team is streaking away at the top of league 2 rather than desperately trying to stay in league 1?

Nigel Adkins was S****horpe's physio Teflon deserved a chance he did well in the caretaker roll previous I was all for him having a chance until he got the job full time and I witnessed the kind of football so posters called "entertaining", He has had his chance and I can't wait for him to go I was supporting city before him and will be supporting long after him I just don't like the direction we have gone under his leadership it seems to me he is gutless

Wish it would have been us that had offered him it..... my point still stands tho' graham, Millen deserved a chance at the top job he's had it and failed to imporve us he has taken us backwards which is why I and so many others want him gone, It was a gamble taken by the board and in hindsight it was a poor one but all we had to go on like the board at the time was his sucsessful spell as caretaker, if he could of recreated that then we'd be happy but what he's done is to create an ultra defensive team that can't defend wasted money on 8 signings that can't make the first team and blame everyone from the fans to the tea lady for us being in the postion we are in, He id deserve the chance,

A truly baffling decision which has haunted this club ever since. SL employed KM because he saw what he did when he was in caretaker charge of the team after GJ left, the performances against Newcastle & WBA were 2 of the best we have seen in years, plus the away wins at SW & PU. Since being appointed full time & the few hammerings we got at the start of last season, KM has changed his style of play, in fact he is repeating what GJ did in his last 2 seasons with us, which was some of the worst football we have seen in years & which will eventually cost him his job. KM needs to have some balls and go back to the system & philosophy we played in that caretaker days, it might not work but at least he would have tried to entertain us unlike GJ in his last 2.5 seasons.

BCAGFC Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 And this level.... For around 1.25 to 1.5 seasons, after that the slide started. GJ did very well to sort the club out, get us promoted & the 1st season back up , after that he lost the plot for various reasons. BCAGFC
InCider Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Yep, doing a great job at Exeter............ This has to be head and shoulders above any other post for the 'Annual OTIB Hypocritical Reply of Year Award'. Well done Robbored in advance for adding to your previous titles.
Chivs Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Failed at Cardiff with the strongest squad they've had in years. Apparently he did nothing about the drinking culture within the club and that took its toll in the end. Failed in the sense that he got them to the FA Cup final and a playoff final and a playoff place. Looking at Millen, that's my kind of failure! You, it seems, wants a different kind of failure with Millen.
Guest Syco Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Threads like this are disrespectful to our current manager. If we win our next two home games he will be the best thing since sliced bread.
cityboy Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Threads like this are disrespectful to our current manager. Performance's like we've seen at AG this season are disrespectful to our fans.
Guest Syco Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Performance's like we've seen at AG this season are disrespectful to our fans. That post should be aimed at the players rather than Keith.
Nogbad the Bad Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 That post should be aimed at the players rather than Keith. So the manager who picks the team, formations, tactics and substitutions should bear no responsibility for performances and results?
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 There was a player- Ian Rush I think who went over to Italy back in the day and asked where the players bar was at the ground. Guess where it was? It didn't exist- I honestly can't see how a profesisonal sports player can play at their peak if they're drinking too much.

BCAGFC Well final season I'll grant you but 10th in the Championship, after surprise factor amongst other things had worn off could hardly have been classed as a failure. If there was one problem it was all the late goals otherwise we would have surely been in contention for the playoffs once more.

Quite right and even if we weren't, who on earth classes a 10th place finish in The Championship for a club of our size as failure? GJ's time with us had run its' course by the end, but those posters who want to re-write one of the most successful City eras of the last 30 years (scrub that, actually the most successful) baffle me.

I think it was Rush who also said, about hisn time in Italy, that it was like playing in a foreign country.
