Keith Millen

Just heard the news that Keith Millen has left Bristol City after twelve years service to the club in various roles.

On a personal level it is a real shame that it didn't work out for him at Ashton Gate as he is a decent guy and was always a pleasure to talk to.

Unfortunately though, the football industry is a cut-throat one and results based and they just weren't going for the Robins.

Chairman Colin Sexstone recognised Millen's work for the club and said:  "I'd like to place on record my thanks to Keith for his 12 years of service at the club. He is an outstanding coach and we wish him all the very best for the future."

Going by the calls to 606 on Saturday evening, former Cardiff boss Dave Jones and Peter Reid who recently vacated the Plymouth 'nightmare' are both leading contenders as far as the fans are concerned.

I suspect that despite the recent run of bad form, most City fans will give Keith a warm welcome when he returns with another club or merely as a spectator. I do hope so.
