GrahamC Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Good luck to him, but that’s a tough gig. Struggling, geographically isolated & seem to burn through managers. He’s been out of the English game for a while, so will need to get up to speed quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 His former teammate David Holdsworth is DoF there and doesn't seem to be too popular with their fans, which has inevitably led to Millen's appointment being seen by some of them as jobs for the boys. Good luck to him, a top bloke and it was evident from his OSIB appearance that he still has a lot of affection for City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Well well underrated by the City fan base. He gave off the vibe of being one of us and he did alright with the players he had at the time. 10th and 15th not bad at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhhshauntaylor Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 A huge part of our relatively recent success. handed a poisoned chalice of James, Hunt, Stewart to bed into the team. People quick to forget Millen brought in Rose, Caulker, Stead, Pitman, Bolasie. Good luck Keef, top man. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a difference semantically between “Bristol City legend” and “legend of a bloke”, the latter relates more to him as an individual which is I think what Pete meant. I don’t think anyone is saying that he’s a Bristol City legend but he was universally liked and probably underrated by a lot on here for what he achieved. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the 5th in 3 years. Curle (who was there for 4 years prior to that), then Sheridan, Pressley & Beech, none of whom managed a year. In contrast LJ got 4, Holden (a terrible appointment) was the only one of ours not to get at least a year.

I agree, I meant legend as in great company/a real laugh… But also argue a 12 year run at one club is more than decent service!

I also liked that he knew that he needed to go completely outside the club for his assistant. Not saying he was ever going to be the long term answer but also think unlike McInnes & LJ, he was sacked as soon as he had his first bad run of results. Got a lot of time for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just how I remember it and whilst I wouldn't use the term 'legend' for him as a City player, I recall Millen being one of the best central defenders to ever pull on the shirt in my time watching City and I recall fondly his time playing for us. Always had a lot of respect for him and will always wish him well. Not sure if others recall similar or whether my memories going....

Kid in the Riot Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Wouldn't have been disappointed at all to have him back as a coach here tbh. Maybe one day. I believe he has hinted that he'd be more than happy to return later in his career. Still has a good relationship with the Lansdowns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last game in charge - a 5-0 loss at Blackpool - was one of only two Bristol City games I've ever watched that I was absolutely convinced the players threw the towel in collectively. They 100% sacked it in. The last 20 minutes of that game was an absolute disgrace and the players made sure the manager was sacked there and then. Winds me up to think about it now even, because Keith's a genuinely good man and didn't deserve that.
