SC_Red Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I admit I'm also disappointed he didnt resign after giving a dignified speech. but I guess he needs the money and cant be sure where or if he'll get another job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 In fairness to KM, if he is going then he has a family to support and mortagge to pay and I suspect the chances of another job in the near future are looking slim right now, so h would understandably be concerned about his finances. In such circumstances, would any of us resign and walk away from a substantial financial pay off? I can't believe that SL and the board are prepared to let things go on as they are, so I hope that they will be in discussions with Millen with a view to his leaving being announced "by mutual consent". He retains some personal dignity by not being sacked, but we save some money by agreeing a reduced pay off.] If this is the case, then it won't be announced 5 minutes after the final whistle.

Alex#40 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Was disgusted with that interview and a total lack of any admission that he is, at least, part of the problem. Lost a lot of respect for Keith after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm just surprised anyone actually believed this pathetic excuse of a manager would do the right thing. He will bleed us of every last penny he can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I admit I'm also disappointed he didnt resign after giving a dignified speech. but I guess he needs the money and cant be sure where or if he'll get another job I can't see him ever getting a manager's job like our's again. For that reason alone I don't think he'll walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFChris Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 The thing is, if he was going either by walking or being sacked, would he have been allowed to do the interview. He will still be in charge of our club against Posh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucksred Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 We gotta be in a worse position than we were this time last season. no more excuses Millen, just bloody walk you unprincipled mercenary, you are wrecking Bristol City FC, shameful performance AGAIN.

cityfan Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 You cannot blame him as an employee for not walking. Most of you are on the moral high ground. You wouldn't walk either. However, 5-0 is just too much for the board to ignore and he will be sacked orleave by mutual consent this week. It's a given. Players still have to take some blame thought and Skuse and Elliott in midfield with Kilkenny is not the answer to a future promotion. I think their time will be up here soon as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Anyone who thinks Millen would resign 30mins after the game live on the radio, is clearly stupid Yes, he's going to go, and I believe this was his last game and he KNEW that but there is a time and a place for it his resignation.

Not that there is any bias on the BBC. I'm going to listen back when it's online later. Kachina is a compulsive liar and has been caught with his pants down many times on here. I wonder what his real job is, or if he's even old enough to work. If it was said I'll hold my hands up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potbelly Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 if he loves the club like he says he does he would walk. simple as. In his position i would walk, because i love the club. if i was manager of Coventry etc, i would stay for the money. Big difference, he either loves the club and is a man of honour or he isn`t.

Guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 All the people who want Millen removed will get their way. NOT because they wield any influence or have any power. The simple fact is that this business above all others is based on results, and Keith has not been able to field a team that has produced enough positive results. It's sad to see but that is a fact.

Tenyards Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 The oddest bit of the interview wasn't anything to do with resignation. It was the fact that he thought we "competed" and that "it looked vvery even". Clearly he must have a faulty copy of that football software he seems to spend so much time studying instead of opening his eyes and seeing what is happening on the pitch.

If he really was a decent bloke and all the things that the millen supporters say he is, he would have walked. no doubt he should walk, but your reasoning is that of a total donut. so a really good bloke would leave a well-paid job and go on the dole yeah. no, a really stupid bloke would do that. there really are some thick supporters out there....
