Just heard on the radio he has had enough already...

If we're not doing well there's always schadenfreude.

Are they in the Bundesliga now?

Sky are confirming this, and Millen, who was caretaker after Johnson left last season, has been made manager already.

On the Mirror site too. Love this bit:

If it's schadenfreude you're after, this is pure gold.

Bless them.

Coco James for manager :)

Coppell to Villa?!

:)

Complete suprise this. tehehe. At least City won't try and nick Wilson

Poyet for Bristol City !

Keith Millen has got the job on a 3yr deal...bit risky for them. Think David James will be handed the number 2 role now.

Now that would be funny.  Looks as if Bristol are appointing Keith Millen (Assistant Manager), however.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

One of the posters on OTIB says he feels sorry for anybody who put money on City to go up... as if Coppell leaving is the reason they won't do it. Deluded inbreds.

I did think Coppell was a good fit for Reading Bristol when they appointed him.  He has already taken one club up to the Premiership on similar resources.  A lot of BC's fans seem genuinely stunned by this.

Edited.  I'm a muppet.

Not suprised. How would we feel if Wilson said "nah, can't be arsed with this" after 2 games!

The last time they made an internal appointment Tinnion for Wilson, he signed a couple of our players....Hoofwood and Grunt Sniff.

Hopefully Millen wont look to do something similar...

Funny. When I read that forum I like to amuse myself by reading it (in my head) in a prarhpurh brestarrghl arrhksunt.

This has cheered me up seeing i work with a few of the Brisssle supporters ,did he not leave Man city just after they played us a few years ago  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

It'd be ace....weeks of speculation, before disappointingly Sheena Easton doesn't get the job.

Does Coppell's record at Bristol (P2 W0 D0 L2) set a new record?

Coppell has said that he is quitting management.

Yeah read that after posting.

Shitty are holding a press conference at 2pm.

but said, "I still feel I have a contribution to make to the game sometime in the future."

(He'll take a slightly less ambitious job in 6 months)

Biggest bottling manager ever?

Wouldn't you after managing Brizzle though - he must be deeply depressed

My source, who I don't actually know and who isn't a City fan, heared that Coppell didn't make the James signing, their chairman did.

Fact or unsubstatiated internet rumour?

Landsdown made the initial contact to see if he was interested then said to Coppell if you want him ring him.

I'm just listening to the PC, and Coppell spoke to the Chairman yesterday morning and resigned then. Board then decided that they had the perfect man in Millen to take over. If he was perfect, why wasn't he appointed after Johnson left in the first place?

Not much of a surprise TBH been a lot of discontent in the dressing room apparently, James threatened to walk out too.

He's only just got there! After Sol at Notts County, must be something about ex-Pompey players and flouncing out

For once I am actually looking forward to watching Points West tonight.

OTIB forum gone into total meltdown....sweet!

I can only imagine how gutted OTIB are, especially with the no thrills replacement.

Coppell must have had some sort of walk-out clause because no way should a chairman accept such a decision as amicably as that.

3 year deal for Millen too. Brave or stupid.

Haha was chuckling when I heard this news at lunchtime. I remember their fans being totally full of it when Coppell took over....shame eh?

Certainly is. OTIB goes into overdrive when a player sneezes, it must be havoc on there!

 :girlgiggle:

Mwwahhhhh...!!!!!!!!!!!
 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Homer's left Side Show Bob..!

Good, now hopefully James will follow.

The Sun are saying that the Chairman bought James in, whilst Coppell wanted the money spent elsewhere.
