Some personal thought's which,forgive me,I wanted to state publicly.. * I have supported them man and boy. * I think Ashton Gate is a great old stadium and I love the place. * That ol' time City spirit that only we City people understand. * The history good and bad. * I love most City fans,our culture and our ways(humour). * Our team,all of the players,past and present. * Our ex-chairman,Steve Lansdown is the owner,a fan and one of us. * The way we are developing into part of our local community. * A worrying but ultimately a bright future. * My granfer,mum and dad,wife,my children(2)and my 4 grandsons are all fans. I feel better for writing my thoughts,yours would be welcome,WUM's will appear but who cares.. Up the CITY.. Right let's get the cliches out of the way.... * The chickens are coming home to roost. * The **** is hitting the fan. * Pressing the panic button. * Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. * Bad workmen always blame their tools. * Drowning men clutch at straws. Now it's all been said ,Millen's performance,decisions,tactics,explanations and results for any normal human being would,already have resulted in dismissal. He has without doubt with his nice guy image and servile approach survived by circumstances during the last 12 months,you know them all.Coppout,lack of pre-season planning,previous managers signings,virusies,injuries,funding,bigger clubs more attractive for players,to big a squad,re-organisation of staff. So well have we been fooled we even had nice names for him,Milly,Keef,Keefer and Teflon. A new season and we are getting a repeat of both performance and activity on and off the field,the latest is loaning players or failure to get them out of the club. Name and shame the players that won't cooperate people are shouting," The club and I are trying to get them a chance to play football but some won't go" says Millen plus all of the other excuses that are being repeated again from last year. It's all one big con,a diversion to blame everybody else and give the impression that all the failures are beyond his control and circumstances and outside influences dictate his actions. He has a large, quality squad he can't coach or direct,his man management and leadership is dire beyond imagination,his nous of the game,tactics,structure,substitutions have completely failed. According to him it's never his fault and he constantly blames all other factors to avoid responsibility. He is dragging this club,it's reputation and it's followers down to levels we have not suffered for years. Get him out before the rot really sets in..
i love Bristol city because we ARE the best team in Bristol and the south west, Marvin Elliott plays for them , there is potential and ambition for this club to get and survive in the premier league, i love that feeling on match day, where no matter how bad things are it all goes when your watching the players in red on the pitch, i love singing in the wedlock with the east end boys, also i love listening to "mini managers" at half time and what they think the team should be and how we play BUT.......All is not love and happiness with killer Keef at the helm, his dark and gloomy ways are killing our great club, excuses and excuses of why we are not playing well and not scoring, Colin Sextone is not the man to take this club forward, i don't like this "community" approach we have towards our club now, makes us feel like a small team desperate to get family's in to boost our attendance, i dont like how wee have a squad to big and worst of all I JUST DON'T LIKE MILLEN !

Absolutely spot on Wiz - A big con,diversion that the fools who run the club can't see. What is puppet Sextone waiting for ? Till we hit bottom ? Because, no doubt Sextone will sack Millen - just not soon enough. ps. Millen's slating players for not leaving the club. Start the ball rolling Keef - RESIGN - show leadership for once in your life.
You can judge how bad things are for you when the WUMS dry up. When you've got some spark and a bit of success then the sniping reigns. But when things are really bad opposing fans realize what it's like for you and even (sometimes ) ease off. It's no fun 'kicking' someone when they're down, unless it's those who have shown arrogance in their times of success. I'm not saying I hope you turn the corner and pull away from relegation, but somehow there's no need for others to compound your 'pain'.
P49 - Thanks. Really does say something, something not 1 board member would understand, that Millen is soooooo useless other fans almost feel sorry for us. What a bloody state we're in.
Yea that goes for me 49'nr,it makes me so annoyed when other people, from outside the club get it and all as we do is continue making the same idiotic mistakes and thank Millen for doing it..
We've been there with Trollope. Nice bloke and all that but not a motivator of men and not respected enough from the players.
Millen won't resign. Sexy can't fire him without SL's input. Milly & Sexy make good bed fellows - cut from the same "nice guy" cloth. Need a mover and a shaker at the helm - someone who doesn't want to have happy chats with the players after they have failed us. Someone who will tell a player (not ask) that a loan is in the best interests of all concerned as you are no longer required to be in our squad. Basically give us a ruthless bastard who will put the fear of god into the players but who will earn their respect by making them better players and in turn our club more competitive. The question is, who is "that man"?? We know who it isn't................
