Let's just hope that the new manager can fix the damage!

At least Gary can have his Champagne earlier than expected :)

Looks it Duffy. So they must have seen the the scenario panning out weeks or months ago.

On another ;ine. Gary thank you ever, ever so much for taking the club into the Football League last season. It is such a pity that the players you kept so much faith in.............let you down.

I am a little upset to hear the news after you gave the club the very best month of May last year,

God luck fella.

Looks like someone is already lined up !! Although unless the players get their fingers out it will not make one iota of difference. You may as well appoint Victoria Beckham to the position....the season will still pan out the same way as under Gary Mills. Who will sack the board if this fails ?

Are they both available?

Both would seem reasonable...

Terrible decision - should have held their nerve and gone for continuity - smells of panic. Who the hell will we get ? Very unlucky today - lost to 2 individual errors - not down to manager. Remember that great display last Tuesday @ Rotherham ?!

The question the board should have asked themselves before firing Mills is this: If we could bring in Alex Ferguson, could he keep us up with these same players. If the answer is no, you don't fire the manager you've got. In other words, as I've said before, it's got very little to do with the manager and everything to do with the players.

I've got a life thank you. It's a busy life that includes supporting my beloved York City. I have the respect of my peers for usually predicting the outcome of City matches and it's thanks to cretins like you who've defended a manager who clearly has no idea of league football that greatly de-values this forum. May I suggest that you take your like minded cronies with you to follow Gary in the next part of his management journey - posters like; tugjob, yorkcityluke, neutral observer2, tomwillo, sixtyfourfive, YO1 etc.. should happily follow you, clapping and singing all the way.

I say well done Jason Mcgill, for being a chairman with a backbone who has led from the front, he has had to make a very difficult choice, it must not of been easy one, we are 4 points off the drop, and dropping like a stone, with no sign that mills could have turned it round, he had to act now to give the new man a chance. So again well done to him and the board for acting before it was to late.

Sad day and an end to a short era of great passing football and fabulous memories under GM. Not looking forward to the long ball football that every other team in this division plays.

Results speak for themselves and the board have decided to gamble. There are no guarantees but these are desperate times and it's a brave decision.

Most of the players are out of contract in the summer and will probably now expect to be released. Are they going to be thinking about York City's future or their own? Don't expect anyone to shed blood in the next 10 games when they know they won't be here next season.

You're a gutless malcontent who deserves no respect from anyone. I hope you lose your job so we can all shamelessly gloat over it. Mills has done more for this club than a moaner like you could ever dream of. Every level headed fan regrets that he had to leave.

BIG thanks to Gary but bad luck has to come to an end and goal chances have to be taken.
Everson scored for Gateshead today and young Platt set up 2 goals for Harrogate and young Reece Kelly played well against Maske should of had a hat trick in first 10 minutes.

Surely they will want to show their skills to potential employers rather than go through the motions and end up on the dole!

Great memories - apart from the obvious the first half away at Kettering last year was as good a display of football as I can remember from a York team. No evidence from Oxford last week or midweek at Rotherham that he had "lost the dressing room" but...we don't score goals and therefore the best you can hope for is a draw, and Gary didn't seem to have the answer. So, on reflection and with great sadness a brave decision by the board. Let's hope we stay up, roll the dice again in the Summer and consolidate next season.

Sad that a manager has to be sacked after past good works but something has gone wrong this season and as you pick the team you end up carrying the can when it does. For those of us with long memories let's just hope this doesn't lead to another Wilf Mcguiness type appointment. Good on paper c**p in reality.

You really are a very sad man. I actually think it was inevitable that the board would have to act. The results have been terrible and our position is clear to see.

Where I differ from you is that I have continued to support the team as that is the only positive contribution I can offer as a supporter.

You have continued to portray yourself as a figure of fun who actually revels in the attention you get on this forum. You must be a very lonely man. Enjoy your glass of champagne tonight.

I have been visiting Bootham Crescent since 1944 and have never been as shocked as I am now on hearing what the McGills have done. Gary Mills one of the best handful of Managers we have had in my long experience should not have been shown the door with only 10 games remaining. Who do you blame for the missed chances the Manager or the players! Were the McGills thinking of this after the gritty performances away to Oxford and Rotherham. Would this have happened if Rotherham hadn't scored in the dying seconds on Tuesday night. Of course not. But Rankine missed his man and the cross came in!
I would like to place on record my heartfelt appreciation of what Gary Mills did for York City last season. A great guy. An honest one. He was within inches of being made a Freeman of York for those Wembley trips and the match away at Mansfield.A truckload of wonderful memories. I fear the worst now. The guts has been ripped out of the team and loads of supporters with this decision
10 games for whoever comes. God this is too stupid for words

Cheap option ! Get Reed back from Cambridge if we can, were he,s wasted as a winger, put him alongside Rankine, and watch us climb the table, they always played well together before walker came along, 9 in 12 starts last season, and 4 in 5 this one, he could still finish our top scorer.

Let me get this right, hours after the 2nd win at wembley you wanted our manager sacked?

We meant to bow to your superior knowledge of football because "You have the respect of your peers for usually predicting the outcome of City matches" try a bookies Dum Dum you'll get more than respect.

This season not being good but with attitudes like yours there never going to be an encouraging environment at home games whoever the manager.

Obviously players whose skills were superior to Conference competitors were going to come up against more challenging players in the league, week in week out. But it's like they just don't believe in themselves any more. Is this because they assumed they'd be as good this season, they never know what the team's going to be and can't therefore predict teammates' moves or positions; they're being playing out of position, or having to stick to tactics that just aren't effective; or because something's gone wrong with the managerial dynamics? Blanchett and Henderson were implying on Twitter that Mills' approach had upset some players. I certainly found it unbelievable that he kept sticking with Smith after some dreadful games, when TY was fit and paired well with Kerr. Kerr himself seems to have lost all his passing skills and is a shadow of his former self. And today Rankine should have been on half an hour earlier to give him time to make a difference.

I so wanted the cherry on the icing on the cake after last season, with Millsy learning as he took us onwards and upwards. That now will never be, with him anyhow. Such an achievement last season, and such a debt of gratitude we owe him for it. But whoever thinks the Board should have waited for relegation before sacking him is just plain stupid. They did the only thing left open to him. I suspect they have someone waiting in the wings, the rumours are that it is Graham Westley, and that he was ready on Wednesday. If this is true, then the Board held off and still gave GM a chance to redeem himself today. Maybe it was his comments to Barry on the radio afterwards, that suggested that he had no intention of changing anything to halt the demise, that made them act. Let's make no mistake, they loved Gary, they would not have wanted to do this and it will have really upset them. But what choice did they have, really.

Thanks for the good times Gary. Onwards and upwards. CTID.

I've got a life thank you. It's a busy life that includes supporting my beloved York City. I have the respect of my peers for usually predicting the outcome of City matches and it's thanks to cretins like you who've defended a manager who clearly has no idea of league football that greatly de-values this forum. May I suggest that you take your like minded cronies with you to follow Gary in the next part of his management journey - posters like; tugjob, yorkcityluke, neutral observer2, tomwillo, sixtyfourfive, YO1 etc.. should happily follow you, clapping and singing all the way.

You really are a very sad man. I actually think it was inevitable that the board would have to act. The results have been terrible and our position is clear to see.

Where I differ from you is that I have continued to support the team as that is the only positive contribution I can offer as a supporter.

You have continued to portray yourself as a figure of fun who actually revels in the attention you get on this forum. You must be a very lonely man. Enjoy your glass of champagne tonight.

You are an absolute joke of andividual who clearly can't admit that their belief system is clearly well behind that of a normal adult.

I'm right and you're wrong - grow up and get over it.

Sad day and an end to a short era of great passing football and fabulous memories under GM. Not looking forward to the long ball football that every other team in this division plays.

Results speak for themselves and the board have decided to gamble. There are no guarantees but these are desperate times and it's a brave decision.

Most of the players are out of contract in the summer and will probably now expect to be released. Are they going to be thinking about York City's future or their own? Don't expect anyone to shed blood in the next 10 games when they know they won't be here next season.

I think you'll find most City supporters are feeling pretty worried right now and couldn't care less about your opinion.

And I can't believe the poster who says the decision to sack Mills was 'cowardly'. I respect those who thing it was right or wrong, only time will tell. But 'cowardly'? Never - it was a brave decision and IMHO a very sad but necessary one. Nothing was changing, every game was the same script virtually; we play some attractive football but fail to win due to defensive mistakes and not hitting the back of the net. Even Gary himself admitted he was at a loss over what to do next. Does any supporter who has been regularly these last few weeks feel that a hat load of wins were just round the corner? I don't. No team is *that* unlucky - Rotherham okay, last minute equaliser, but 1-0 is never enough, to see matches out, you've got to continue to press when in front. Barnet was the same but with different timings; 1-0 if front and then we were appalling. We'd forgotten how to win and nothing - not formations, tactics or playing individuals out of position, was changing.

Over summer we made only one successful signing - Coulson. Some other signings have been laughable - Fusbal players and retirees in particular. Players brought in and immediately loaned out or never seen again. All smacks of a manager out of his depth at this level.

I loved the football in the Conference under Mills, he seems a genuine guy too. But at League two level, the buck stops with him and the mistakes are there to be seen. Am sorry, but that is the reality - and I'm as sad as anyone over what has happened.

I would like to place on record my heartfelt appreciation of what Gary Mills did for York City last season. A great guy. An honest one. He was within inches of being made a Freeman of York for those Wembley trips and the match away at Mansfield.A truckload of wonderful memories. I fear the worst now. The guts has been ripped out of the team and loads of supporters with this decision
10 games for whoever comes. God this is too stupid for words

So that would make you in your 80s then and people in their eighties use words like truckload and have alzheimers! I appreciate what Mills has done but last time we went out we really should have changed now -if not before.

Despite the cynical and disparaging remarks to my original posts by one or two individuals the enormity of the decision made by the McGills will be sinking in this Sunday morning at Bootham Crescent. They will be asking themselves who can come in with only 10 games to play and somehow guarantee survival in the FL. Is there someone out there with the credentials to turn things around who can lift the spirits of the players, gain their immediate confidence and indeed the supporters in such a short space of time. What kind of contract do we offer this individual and indeed what will be the scenario if all goes belly up!
This is a huge huge gamble by the owners of BC who thanks to their generosity have kept the football club going financially through the darkest days. But have they thought this through to only a successful outcome.Whoever is appointed, next week at Wimbledon assumes an importance now greater than any of last seasons triumphs at Wembley.
I just hope that the McGills have thought this through to a final outcome

Nasty spiteful and innumerate little response, circuitous route dorset. My mother uses terms like truckload and shedload on occasions and she's 85. Why should you assume someone in their 80s would not? They've both been in regular use since the early 1970's, when people now in their 80s were in their 40s. But in any event there's no indication that lifelong is in his 80s. The maths says that if lifelong was four in 1944 he'd be 73 now.

Y not some of these young managers have got to start somewhere and if he came with 2 or 3 of the united squad it be well worth it , solksjaer was young and won league title in norway ist season and if it was to be a young manager y not one who has been taught by the greatest of all time

Very tough decision that the Bard had to make. I'm sure they waited as long as they could and would have wanted to keep him if they could have justified it. But he dug his own grave and burnt his bridges, his statement that the Board would have to appoint another manager if they wanted a different formation forcing the change. A good Conference manager but clearly out of his depth in L2. Stubbornness and a host of poor signings adding to the list of negatives. Just hope that Gee, Lyttle and Jason Walker can be got shot of asap. Walker - the epitome of Gary's failings.

Move on its done decision made agree or disagree at your leisure, something had to change in a team that can neither score freely or keep clean sheets. Like most of you I we did Wembley twice playoffs etc witnessed some lovely football at times but we were fortunate to get up as overall we were probably the third or fourth best conference side. During that season I cast an envious eye on players like Matt Andre Gray & in particular a few of the centrebacks. We apparently blew the budget to accomplish the great double & now its left us with either a squad who were shown too much loyalty by Gary or one he could not afford to strengthen take your choice of truth. The new manager will have to take a long hard look at what is available to him & we will be there supporting as its the club the crack & the football we go for not Gary. The board have done what they feel is in the best interest of the club its now down to the players to do what they are paid to do & certain amongst them will have to admit that they are accountable for the loss of our best manager for years, too stubborn perhaps & certainly has his undroppable favourites I just hope that the new manager sees the truth in the team with a fresh pair of eyes & makes the best of things, some good players in our squad just need making best use of. Glad I clapped the team off & will certainly be behind them for the remainder of this season.Cmon City!!!

We will NOT go down-home games v Rochdale, Plymouth and Accrington will see us stay in this league. Other away points will be a bonus.The club is bigger than the manager and players. Relegation certainly would be a disaster but we are not there yet.Still 4 points above the zone. KEEP THE FAITH!

The McGills will have been saddened to make this call BUT they have been strong and hopefully the decision will be justified. All managers are future ex-managers and Mills had a deam season last time round but this season has been found out. His tactical nous is poor, flexibilty is lacking and he has almost dared the board to sack him in recent weeks ! The only area he has grown in is his own 'self-belief' Some of his ongonig team selections and substitutions have been odd to say the least and result have suffered accordingly. Some of those slagging off the and have clearly not been to many games this season or have been in a coma since Webley.

NO,but those that know me,know the passion i have for the game that has spaned over 70yrs,including playing it at the highest level in the 50s ,i am well awhere of preasure the board and the manager have been under the last weeks,i admire the McGill family for the money ,time,and loyalty,they have given to the club,i also understand the supporters that want to put their two penny worth into the debate,they pay their hard earned money at the turnstiles,one point i would like to make ,had it been me on the board Mr Mills would have been gone after the Wycombe match,but alas we dont have the power of hindsight, unless you might ,if you have can you tell me what will win the Grand National.

One has to be so sorry for Gary, who has put his soul into our club, has got us 2 wins at Wembley and a return to the League, only to be sacked after a poor, yet unlucky run. If half the draws had been wins, we'd be challenging for promotion.
Yet, he did seem stubborn (although it was him running the team and not the handful of desperate knockers on this site) and the persistence with wasting JW up front as lone striker seemed to be ebbing away the strenghth of a talented yet lightweight squad.
What we don't know is how the relationship between the Manager, Club and Players had been developing over the weeks. I very much hope that we get a statement from all concerned, so that the air can be cleared and we can move on.
One correspondent , here, suggests tht York has obviously got the replacement lined up. I certainly hope so, because if this sacking proves to have been a knee-jerk reaction, in panic, it will have been the most stupid move this club can have made for a long time. We were far from doomed, as many have been pointing out, but Im not sure now and for the first time since this crisis started to unfold I'm worried. I'll be at AFCW next week, when a lot of questions could be answered. We need a huge turn out of away fans to show the players that we still have confidence in them.
Whatever might have been hapening and is now going to happen, " Good luck Gary. A lot of people are going to miss you and are going to be looking out for you, whatever might have been going on under the surface. I hope you get massive success in the future and will still feel a pang of pride for what you have achieved here and an ongoing interest in us.
