It's Miller Time

[MFKS]

Gonna call a spade a spade and say I am not ****ing impressed one little bit.

FFA launch a world wide search and come up with a rank outsider who no **** has ever heard of and who's resume is quite frankly weak as piss




The blokes coaching experience is what??

A season coaching a Yoof team in England.

The rest of the time his experience is related to Fitness Coaching.


Hey I expect us to be fit under him. Tactics and the rest of the shit may be a bit iffy.

One hell of a ****ing gamble this



**** ME DEAD:bs:

[Pico]

When exactly did the FFA say they were launching a world wide search.

The only time they have given any indication about the coach was a key line from DDB regarding the limited opportunities in Australia for young Australian coaches, which was a large neon flashing light that they were again going to give an opportunity to a young aussie coach, ala Popovic.

Lets not forget the bloke started out as a fitness coach, but was a player previously so hes not just some generic fitness dude and he has a UEFA A license, so its not like he's just scraped through on the AFC c license to meet the minimum requirements to land a gig in the HAL.

Geez at least give the bloke a chance!

In finally agreed with you last night on a post but back to disagreeing.

You haven't heard his name before... so what?

I reckon if there was a former socceroo who had his exact resume and experience everyone would be losing their shit saying we have just signed the next big thing.

Besides, aren't you one of the Papas fan boys? How does his resume stack up?
because to me he is
a rank outsider who no **** has ever heard of and who's resume is quite frankly weak as piss

[WolfMan]

As long as it isn't Miller Lite or Miller Chill, I'm down. Those other 2 are rubbish

[ToddG NBUnited]

Hopefully some of the players can get in his ear and tell him to **** pascoe off and then we can really start fresh. I'm looking forward to the season and giving him a chance.

Sign Griff
Beat gypos in all 3 games
Treat FFA Cup properly

thats worthy of the keys to the city

I'm sure I heard he was one of Ange's assistants in the national setup and that Ange was head of a selection committee that selected him.
He is only interim at this stage also so don't drop your bottom lip yet.

All hail reggie

[boz-monaut]

I reckon this is going to go well

but as others have said - sign Griff and a few other players and then I'll be pleased

**** ME DEAD:bs:

While your concerns are understandable, on paper he is certainly a better appointment than our previous coach. Nobody had heard of Josep Gombau but nobody had heard of Franz Straka either.

He's come from a professional league and a big London club. He's had experience under some very experienced managers.

I'm more confident in this appointment than I would have been with Rudan or Mori.

I hope we can all get behind the new team and give them a chance.

Hopefully we can all get behind him, the

Bit of background on him:

[BodyNovo]

membah hes got a UEFA license, i don't think his tactics will be a problem.

if anything its going to be like stubbins and that its his man management that will be tested, but having PDM back in the fold will help that just like mark jones did for the back end of the season.

[hawk]

Reserves judgement until i see results. However he does seem one of the better candidates and the assistant doesnt seem bad either.....yet.

Now the most important thing, Sign the best players and sneak them all under the salary cap.

are you just getting in an early comment to say "I told you so" when he leaves (whatever way and whenever)?

[Jetmaster]

Isnt that what the players call his missus?

[JetRift]

He has 10 years of Experience working in England under some very successful managers (not you Hodgson), a UEFA A license, several degrees in sport science and is young and enthusiastic. That's me sold. Don't think Rudan, Mori or Paul "the savior" Okon can relate to any of those things...

[MFKS]

I wasn't fussed with Stubbins appointment either.

Didn't really express it enough then. Not making the same mistake this time.

Millers resume is actually piss weak.


Playing career of nothing of note. He has allegedly played professionally in Australia but no **** has ever heard of him as a player.

Sure he might have some nice certificates but reality his certificates mean absolutely **** ALL in the grand scheme of things.

Ability to do it is another thing as there are thousands of coaches out there with certificates who can not actually do it. Hello Muppet

His actual coaching career is a non event even though he has some experiences being involved at an EPL side he still does have minimal involvement actually coaching teams.



No issue giving a first time coach a go.

I would though expect someone who has an extensive career in football with a bit more practical experience in the coaching department though. When you have a close look at his roles at Fulham sure they will help him in the role here but reality is they are not that impressive.

Blokes like Mori have nearly 10 years coaching the SA NPL and a 15 year playing career and Rudan has 3 years in the NSWNPL and a 15 year career playing.

He compares with a couple of certificates 1 year of coaching some time on the periphery of a club and no playing career of note.

Yep


The logic of a supposedly so called professional administration in the FFA to give us this bloke at such a critical junction for the club smacks of nothing more than a gamble.

Hell time will be the judge though.

It could be the most inspired idea of all time. It could also be a cluster**** of epic proportions with the alarm bells clearly ringing the bloke is lacking in ACTUAL experience.

[Jetmaster]

This has Ange all over it.

As Ange was considered "a crap coach" at Roar.
He was criticised for replacing name players Moore, Miller and Tiatto with no names Henrique, Paartalu and Berisha.
18 months ago everyone was calling for his head as the Socceroos looked like staying out of the top 100 for some time.

Now he is dripping with silverware....I'm prepared to have faith in his choice here. JPD provides the local knowledge and A-League experience.

So by having a long playing career and then coaching in local league for a couple of seasons this gives you more experience than assisting at premier league/championship level as well as assisting our national team?

You really are a nut! Have you heard of a bloke named Jose Mourinho, he does ok apparently.
He must not have been told that you had to be a professional player to be a good manager.

By your theory we may as well give the job to Bridges. Had a long playing career (longer than most wanted) and has been assistant or striker coach (whatever the hell he was) for half a season.

I reckon he goes alright.

Give me someone with a UEFA A licence and years at an English club that's been around for 136 years over someone who's done reasonably well at State League level... (Mori can barely even claim to have done reasonably well) Stubbins had a better track record than Rudan and Mori before he arrived.

The Muppet has better man management than Miller. And Discipline. We are screwed...

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

It seems as though they have gone through a pretty rigorous process to choose the next coach of the Jets. I think from the options we had Miller seems to be a good choice. Any of the candidates would seem to provide a better option than recycling old A League coaches (which was really our only other option) and as the powers that be were actually involved in interviewing the candidates (unlike any of us) we have to trust they have made an informed decision (unlike us).
It probably wouldn't hurt for fans to try and be a bit positive as well, since the FFA have taken over they have tried to engage the community, sacked the muppet and actively sought a better ownership model. I'm not going to complain about any of that.

This was my biggest concern all along. I think Hawk is on a similar thinking too.

The way to alleviate this is to get some contracts onto one of the 3 marquee positions. None of the players listed would fit the criteria of a marquee. There is an opportunity to recruit.

Yeah OK. I accept that point. Maybe he would. He'd be the only one. I think he's past it but it would take a big chunk because didn't someone on here suggest he was on over $200K? I've heard that number thrown around.

It would be a waste of the spot though.

If we can't get an aussie marquee, Carney would suit. Would give us another 250k to play with (I saw that number bandied around in media reports during the "unpleasantness")

Watched the clips posted in the thread and a few things stood out from the way he presents.

He is highly ambitious and driven

He is also highly intelligent human being

He also talks at a lightening fast speed. So many times he is almost talking at a speed that is much faster than people normally listen at.
It is almost like he says 3 things in the same time everyone else on the planet have done the first two and are thinking about the next thing.

Not certain but he may well have some type of ADHD like condition. He is a bundle of intense energy and appears to be ready to burst

This isn't a rumor, Along with BK and Mullen there goes over 1 million of the cap, leaving a little less than 1.5 million to sign 11? players.

Recall seeing Gardiner from The Herald put up on twitter that Carney, BK, Boogaard, Lee Ki-Je and and Mullen all took up approx. $1million of the cap.
What is the Cap these days, is it still $3.5 million?
Say the other 8 players are on an average of $100k (Kanta and Alivodic probably over $150k while Rad and Barresi probably $60k for eg), that leaves another $1.7 million for the 10 or so spots left to fill.
That leaves plenty of space left in the cap to get some real quality.

What is the Cap these days, is it still $3.5 million?
Say the other 8 players are on an average of $100k (Kanta and Alivodic probably over $150k while Rad and Barresi probably $60k for eg), that leaves another $1.7 million for the 10 or so spots left to fill.
That leaves plenty of space left in the cap to get some real quality.

Can't believe some of the crap that gets posted sometimes.

Was referring to videos and interviews recorded a while ago in his Fulham days.

Nervous as in anxious is not what is going on.

Spoke well, didn't provide lofty and unrealistic aims at such an early stage without first assessing our position.
Having a seasoned pro in his corner and the prospect of having MJ in the fold will go a long way to creating a formidable coaching staff. The right tune is ringing down from the top of the pyramid, mixed with improved off-field structure and professionalism, should facilitate a good environment for the firsts team.

Some player signings over the next week will put the icing on the cake.

[plague]

heard one interview where he crapped on about "being a winner" and that he "doesn't lose" blah blah blah.
Good to see someone still subscribing to the Anthony Robbins school of awesomeness cassette collection.

unless setting out the cones and keeping the pencils sharp was a contest at Fulham then i dunno what exactly he's "won".

just get to work pal.

wait wait wait.
I'm sorry.
i was wrong.
seems he won a 'Ryan Reynolds lookalike contest' once.

Seems the bloke IS a winner.

He seems to have been in all the places he said he was, it's just that the level of responsibility being claimed is a little inflated. For example, he joined the Socceroos for a few weeks as a fitness coach and he's being painted as an assistant coach. He was a coach for the Fulham U21 team and it's being reported that he was the U21 manager. His Linkedin profile seems to have deleted and his Twitter locked down, so I wonder if there's something afoot.


If he was at Gippsland, their last year in NSL was 2000/01 and they certainly werent professional.

Can't see any evidence he played first team for Gippsland.


Yeah, I haven't gone through every game but spread across a few and found nothing.

This is the week the PFA pulled the senior team on strike and the youth team played:

Personally I would have preferred someone akin to Mirion Bleiberg - who has a lot of experience with both the Roar and GC in building clubs from scratch. We're basically starting from scratch at the moment with half a squad and (at the time of appointment) no real backroom staff.

My point is that there is inexperienced and then there are people who have no real experience.

I'm happy to give Miller the benefit of the doubt and see how he goes in the first season, but I just think that there has been very little dialogue about his appointment other than "in Ange we trust" and "wow Fulham - he must have good contacts".

I think too the tide is turning against the old newy way of tearing things down before they get a chance to get started.


Miron would screw this upend probably wouldn't be keen on a contract not guaranteed if the club is sold. Miller at least can be assured by the FFA that he'll still have work with the socceroos should any new owner want a clean out.

One of the good signs under Miller is that after a short time in change it appears he has already settled on a back four.....Hoffman, Mullen, Boogaard and Lee Ki-Je. Under GVE and Stubbins we became accustomed to constant experimentation with the back four and there was never any real constant Centre Back pairing either. Anyone who has played the game knows (apart from those 2 previous clowns) that you get your defence settled first and build from there, at the very least you make it hard for the opposition to score against you first and foremost.

http://www.theherald.com.au/story/3396755/miller-stakes-out-phoenix/


ROOKIE Jets coach Scott Miller has done his homework to avoid being blindsided when Newcastle tackle Wellington in their A-League season-opener on Sunday week.

Miller, who spent nine seasons with Fulham before being appointed by the Jets in June, has twice attended pre-season matches involving the Phoenix to put his round-one opposition under the microscope.

"I travelled down to Melbourne for the FFA Cup game, where Melbourne City beat them, and two weeks ago they played Western Sydney Wanderers in Sydney, and I travelled down to watch that as well," Miller said. "Along with scouts going to watch games and myself going to watch, we've got a lot of information."

Miller said he was also well aware of Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick's preferred modus operandi, having played under him as a junior in Melbourne.

"Ernie's a shrewd manager and a very good manager. I know him first hand, and he'll be tactically very aware of us as well, so it's going to be a very competitive game . . . his system is very attacking.

"So I think if we can break them down in the transition, with a key pass forward, and breaking lines early, we should pose some forward threat."

The Jets have a horrendous record at Westpac Stadium, where they have lost nine times in 12 visits and won only twice.

But with a new coaching staff and an influx of new players, Miller said Newcastle would cross the Tasman with a fresh attitude.

"You've got a number of players who have had experience over there and success as well, the players we've recruited," he said.

"I haven't been there before . . . but I've got no fear of playing in Wellington at all, and I think the squad has the same frame of mind as well."

Miller said the Jets could not afford to let the traditionally inhospitable Wellington weather affect their mindset.

"If you prepare right and prepare tactically, the conditions shouldn't affect you," he said. "It's more about the mentality. You can only play the fixture, not the weather."

Although eager to make a positive first impression, Miller was hopeful Newcastle's first-up showing would be considered in context.

"If we're to perform well over there, it would stand us in good stead," he said. "People are already talking externally about how we've put the squad together and the competitive intensity we work on.

"Ultimately a win's going to boost everyone's mindset, a strong performance.

"I'd like a clean sheet and I'm really driving that mentality all season.

"It's 27 games and we can't be measured on one. But I'll be putting a lot of pressure on the team to perform."

Jets officials are still racing to obtain a visa for Serbian striker Milos Trifunovic to make the trip.

"With him arriving here so late, he might not be able to enter New Zealand," Miller said. "So that's the challenge we've got and I've got to be patient with that one."

Miller said his squad to play Wellington would be chosen next week on the strength of their pre-season efforts and there "might be a few dark horses travelling as well".

Isn't it lucky for Scott he's 98 days into the job, from the date of announcement.

I remember that he went back to the UK for ~10 days to pack up.

So he needs to be sacked within the next 3-4 days - right when we play Wellington. Yeah shit hot timing.

The only other logical reason is his contract commenced July 1st. That would give more time.

[WolfMan]

Why wouldn't the owners let him have a shot first before screwing him over.

Poor bastard hasn't had a chance to do anything yet

[plague]

Isn't it lucky for Scott he's 98 days into the job,

No wins* in those 98 days either.
Miller OUT.

Time to start the Miller Out thread I think.:lulzturtle::rof:

Get more momentum with the rumour if the Herald are reporting directly from conjecture on the foz


99 days and no wins.

Even Muppet had a better strike rate FFS :rof:

[Jetmaster]

Remember Rudes wouldn't accept the position as he could not be guaranteed tenure once the new owners came in.

I'm sure Miller is also aware of the same risk.

It was 228 days between when Stubbins was appointed and he got his first competitive win (comparing apples with apples). So there is still time.

Yeah but Muppet has 3 wins to his name at HAL level.

Millertime is on zero still and the clock is ticking.


At this point in time Muppet is well in front :rof:

Totally agree. The guy just oozes confidence, knows what he wants, and doesn't talk shit. I love the straight face when he said he couldn't repeat what he said to the players at half time but that his fist was a bit sore.

[Couscous]

I want to have Scott Millers baby.

Given the size of his jaw, I hope for your sake you have a caesarean.

I stand by what I said.

[halo se7en]

I'm sure we'll have moments this season where we question what Miller is doing, or don't agree with something, but he hasn't put a foot wrong since he arrived in Newcastle. His intentions for what he wanted were laid out early on, and he's stuck by it. The guy doesn't talk BS and it's such a breath of fresh air. The players have clearly bought into his methods and for the most part are executing them near-perfectly on game day.

We haven't fluked these wins - we've ridden our luck at times but that's football. We've won games because we've stuck to our strategy. We beat the Phoenix away - and then held out for 17(?) minutes with 10 men. Enough said. We lined up against Sydney, grand finalists, without our captain and CB, without leaky, Carney out of position, and then lost Haliti early and Birraz late on. We had a fair goal ruled out and it still took them 88 minutes to score and only just beat us. Our attacking play, especially against both Mexicans was very purposeful and dangerous - only Trifunovic was misfiring last week which meant the game was closer than it should have been. We then start slow last night and both Miller and the players show the tactical nous and mental fortitude to not lay down and concede defeat, to not only draw but have the audacity to actually win the game.

As I said, none of this is a fluke. It seems to be going very much to plan, and I genuinely have not been this impressed with a Jets coach in our short history, nor have I been this impressed with how quickly our culture & mentality has improved. It's a nice time to be a Jets fan.

[plague]

By the way has anyone gone back through to point out the Rudan fan boiz to see if they are now dapping this dude up?

[Retro Jet]

Nothing would please me more tomorrow than to see the PoxSports cameras spotting
Mr Miller & JP in the stands of Where's Wally Wankerer's World, plotting the next victims downfall.

That and a few draws too :tongue:

We've finally started playing like we know what the four pillars of successful football are.

Concentration,
Understanding of the game,
Nous and
Tenacity.

which club will now want Miller. lets start with City. We havent any cred in retaining a decent player

[the blue manc]

had a chat to scott miller at the junction today. what a top bloke, very approachable, he was still filthy about the loss on saturday arvo.

Can you pass this on for me next time.

"Dont ever fk up like that again or you'll be eating shit like that other **** stubbins."

It is not a normal game, you had an extra player and the team were not interested enough in attack or defence. aim up or go back to dick eating

[MFKS]

I have some plastic is it to early to start making banners yet??

That was the most insipid display I have seen from us since the lifeless flogging at home V Roar last year that started the shit with Muppet.

All second half I just wanted to ****ing die watching the ineptness from us continue without any sign of change from our coach.

Never too early and also direct it to FFA bcause we not the WSW and they won't inject the $$$$$ required

[Mark325]

Miller said on the post-show on fox sports that that wasn't up to par and that they will have to get together on Monday and figure some shit out cause that wasn't to our full potential. Happy too see that he isn't brushing that off as unlucky and is aware that overall, against a team who has one of the worst looking teams in the comp and was a man down, and who are our rivals that didn't cut it. Was weird considering we praised him for being a coach with a plan b after the City game, but this game he needs to be questioned for not pushing the team at all, not changing formations, not moving players around and capitalising on the potential we had to easily take this game

[Thomas477]

What ****ed us over, aside from Leo being hacked down, was no backup #10. Our game seems so centred around that position that without a functional 10, we have nothing. Carney was trying, but he is not a 10. What happened to Coops?

Carney was trying??

What you mean???

Many times he wouldn't pass the ball or tried to much and then refused to chase after the ball.

Not my idea of trying when a bloke refuses to chase back particularly when he has ****ed up and chooses to have a primadonna moment

[Bremsstrahlung]

Nothing worse than a block who doesn't chase back or get themself into a position to affect play (positively) after losing the ball.

Just overnight. Sterling loses ball. Tracks back for a bit, then let's his man roam and bam, goal. 1-0 down.

[hawk]

If we havent the brains to take out their best man then we got what we deserved.

Miller should have come up with a game plan that at least hampered their best 2 players or he isnt the man for us. leaning close to muppet2

Look at the Bench we had, what changes would you have made to fix the midfield mess we had?

Until we get some players back from injuries, there is no-one who will come in and make a difference, certainly not on the bench we had last night.

[halo se7en]

I never thought we'd miss Kantarovski so much.

[stopper2]

I never thought we'd miss Kantarovski so much.

Yes, Kanta and Mateo seem to work well in the centre together, much better combination as Kanta has become a player this season with a bit of a presence about him when defending and now in attack has become a bit more direct and positive. Certainly if he is fit, he must start before Watson.

[belchardo]

can't believe nobody is talking about the waistcoat he was wearing last night.

[ForeverRed]

Why didn't he leave carney out wide and play two up front after the red, out coached last night

[hawk]

The bloke had plenty of options. The players at his disposal are just light on experience at HAL

He could have put Carney to 10 as he did and replaced Leo with Lundy which would have made more sense to play a kid in his correct position rather than the abominal idea of playing Pavicevic out of position

He could have left Carney out on the right and thrown Pawiak or Cowburn into CM.
Yes both of them play that position naturally.

He had 4 options to pick and chose to play someone out of position in a bizarre tactical **** up.

Lets not even get into formation changes and what could have been done whether that be 2 up front 3 at the back etc

He had options and done NOTHING

[Wilso8948]

Let's all just take a step back and realise this team is still punching above it's weight. Depth was always going to be a big issue with our off season and limited recruitment time. I still give miller credit for slapping together a semi decent competitive side within only a few months. Yes I question some decisions made yesty but other positive performances still outweigh the negatives. We have jumped out of the box but let's just hope we are still up punching come the business end of the season. I'm just glad that we aren't getting our asses handed to us each and every week. The fact that I actually cared we lost yesty shows me personally the club is headed in the right direction. And I'm normally one of the negative ones.

[plague]

and i'm normally one of the negative ones.

Of late I've been a bit confused with some things you've been saying old mate but you are right on the money this time.

One thing is for sure, Cowburn has given Miller hopefully something to think about, provided some real spark and was real positive in his play when he came on. Hope we see much more of him in coming games.

100% agree. With the squad we have if we are scrapping for 6 spot at the end of the season we will be doing well. Overall the signs are very encouraging but by rights we should finish in the bottom 3 with Perth and the Gypos.We are still showing progress on last season, but lets try and be a little bit realistic and balanced (obviously I dont expect that to occur on here)
