Originally posted by briandavis A sincere thank you to Keith for his service to the Club. I thought he presented himself and talked well and honestly and, of course, took control several times when thrown in the deep end at short notice. The very best for the future. I echo these sentiments.

The Dolphin 10 Jan 17 7.41am
It was always going to happen wasn't it. Sam has done his homework and used them to help him but now he wants his people around him. It will actually be good for the players as well in the long run. Shame though for Keith - a nice man who did wahtever was asked of him. Football is harsh though sometimes.

Football is a simple game played by simple people but overcomplicated by coaches with their folders and iPads. Never a big fan of Millen - not sure what he did when Pulis had Kemp with him - and certainly looked out of his depth as caretaker manager when he set us out to get goalless draws against poor teams like QPR and Villa playing Bolasie as a striker. A new coach will freshen things up. Perhaps Speroni could be given the goalkeeping coach job?

Originally posted by Palace in the Blood This could be a great mistake Millen seemed to have a good relationship with the players.

And when they're drawing closer to the drop zone and relegation looks more likely, how's the 'the dressing room' then? Actually calling it a dressing room rather than a changing room is quite apt looking at the defending at places like Swansea and Hull. Pansies. COYP

Pardew said they were 'the happiest group he'd ever worked with.'

I don't like BFS, but this is not time to be sentimental about 'nice guys' such as Millen. We've been s*** for ages and need to upgrade our backroom staff. As far as I know BFS is quite forward thinking in his use of technology and sports science to help his methods and he needs a team that fits this style.

Originally posted by DalacetiliPie Great shame re KM - very loyal, quiet-voiced man who seemed to have the ear and hearts of the players, who's endured a succession of managers with aplomb and steadied the ship in between. This is a poor reward - even if it goes with the parish (scuse the pun). I really hoped they'd retain him in some capacity for some continuity and established understanding of all the players histories and potentials..... I hope he's been amply rewarded. Hear, Hear, but sadly change was needed and to be fair to Sam he has had to do what he believes is necessary for the future wellbeing of the club and that after all is what should all have expected him to do as things have not been working out recently big time. Those who think Sam may lose the dressing room because of the changes made are deluded as Sam is a proven people Manager and he will always have the respect of the players irrespective of what changes he makes.

Ever been at work when a manager everyone 'loves' leaves and the rumours fly around about the new replacement? no -one knows whats going on until they get there and start. Clinton is Clinton. I have known him for a long time, I know his mother... Simon Jordan
