piffer Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 McCulloch was pushing for it to be a club appointment at the AGM. Said it was too easy for managers to just appoint their mates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Two promising talents have left the club recently - Scott McLean and Lewis Morrison. They may go on to have good careers elsewhere but, as far as Killie are concerned, they are a loss. We don't know why they were released but there has been talk in Morrison's case at least of an attitude problem. If that is the type of thing that Millen can eliminate and we don't lose promising talents in the future, he will have been a success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Can only assume paul mcdonald had a hand in this as he and millen were team mates at accies. Edited May 22, 2017 by red_dug Big thumbs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a long time ago and my memory of events is a bit hazy but he wasn't the first player to want to leave to go to a bigger club and he won't be the last. He was a very good professional and would be a good role model for young players. If he is also a decent coach then why wouldn't we offer him a position? Got to agree excellent footballer was different class for us and he helped us get to the premier league and stay there just the kind of footballing brain we need great assett for the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigie11 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 His footballing talent was unquestionable,absolutely superb for us that 1st season back in the premier & has gone on it would appear to have a very successful career coaching young players. He's still a wank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie1984 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Couldn't care less about his past. Sounds like he could be a very good youth coach 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme S Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hopefully he will use his own experiences (good and bad) to good effect when coaching and advising the kids. He probably saw his potential move to Celtic as an opportunity to make himself some serious cash as well as playing for a fantastic manager in Tommy Burns. Where did make a mistake was to speak on TV on the morning of a game v Celtic. Interestingly in the modern game(due to the influence of agents) he would probably have got his move to Celtic and wouldn't have been allowed to speak out the way he did. Welcome back Andy.Start off winning the fans over by saying the biggest mistake you made in your career was leaving Killie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrogate Peter Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 As for Millen's playing days I see he was in Monty's top Kilmarnock team in the tribute book and I agree the point about him keeping himself fit for a long time is a positive. What really matters is his ability as a Development Coach and his record looks good so far. This is a crucial area for clubs like ours and we need to keep bringing on young players so I wish him all the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayslap KIllie Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Some folk on here need to get over it. I was mad at the time as well but if he's an excellent appointment I'm not going to hold it against him.

Bbk Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Welcome back Andy although unlike some killie fans posting you are in the minority of being the only person to have made a bad decision previously in your life! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killieboy64 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Well, thankfully my exclusive panned out as it seemed to turn into quite a hot topic. I could have looked a bit foolish. Mortons youth team is pretty good by all accounts so let's hope he continues where he left off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I posed a question, What's your thoughts on Andy Millen, to the Morton fans on another forum, only had this response so far ...... "He was seemingly well-liked by the players and the club didn't want to lose him, but he'd only been with us for two years so it's hard to say how much players breaking through has to do with him. Since he arrived the only youngster who's established themselves is Quitongo, who we picked up after he was released by Aberdeen at 16 rather than coming through our youth system all the way, although there are a few others on the fringes who look promising" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoydsFace Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Too young to remember the fall out when he left but welcome back and hope he does well. Also just to say CB your catalogue of video clips are fantastic, spend many an hour on YouTube on your channel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
