York City appoint Nigel Worthington as manager
8:00am Monday 4th March 2013 in Sport
Nigel Worthington
UPDATED: NIGEL WORTHINGTON has today been appointed as the new manager of York City.
The Minstermen board moved for Worthington after the dismissal of Gary Mills in the wake of Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat by Bradford City.
Former Leeds United full-back Worthington takes over with City in 18th place in the npower League Two table, four points above the drop zone.
The first game in charge for Worthington, who was Northern Ireland boss from 2007 to 2011, will be Saturday’s trip to basement side AFC Wimbledon.
A statement from the City board said: “The decision to appoint Nigel was based on his solid Football League experience, his strong coaching ability and his extensive knowledge of players throughout the leagues.
“The York City board of directors welcomes Nigel Worthington to the club and looks forward to working with him.”
Worthington, who had a spell at Leicester City as caretaker manager in 2007, was in charge of Norwich City from 2000 to 2006, guiding the club into the Premier League in the 2003/4 season.
Following the departure of Mills, the club confirmed the exit of coaches Des Lyttle and Paul Musselwhite, while assistant manager Darron Gee has now also left.

After all the flack the directors have taken over the past few months (and before....), here and and elsewhere this shows the amount of commitment the directors have for the club. The quality of appointment show an imagination and ambition far exceeding that anyone on here has previously acknowledged, and must have taken a lot of of putting together. Welcome NIgel, congratulations Jason, lets move forward. COYR.

Still a bit saddened by the loss of Gary Mills, but it probably had to happen. The key was the replacement, and this fast turnaround to bring in someone of Worthington's class could be massive for us.
Got to say I'm very impressed by the McGills. Nice people, but clearly "ruthless" business people too. That's actually a perfect combination when times are tough.
I'm hugely excited about how this should turn us around and the sort of players he will be able to attract (even on loan, before someone says we can't go on a spending spree).
Come on City!!

Agree with the above posts if anybody doubted the commitment of the Mcgill family to this Club they can think again. It must have been a heartbreaking decision and an unenviable task for Jason Mcgill to remove Gary Mills from his post as manager-I myself was saddened by the decision I thought GM would be with us for a long time but I can see where the Board were coming from memories of 2004 were looming large when we couldn't buy a win and were dropping like a stone into Non League oblivion and for it to happen again could prove to be the demise of the Club-I think Nigel Worthington will be a very popular appointment welcomed by the fans and I wish him all the best.

He hasn't managed a league club in 7 years and he hasn't been a manager since 2011. Don't mean to dampen things but is this really the sort of manager we want to come in and make an IMMEDIATE impact. It will take him some time to get back into the swing of things again...
a) a recently-sacked failure with a previous good record (eg Westley)
b) someone who'd recently let his club down by walking out on it (eg the loose cannon Di Canio) or
c) someone who'd been out of the game for a while.
On balance, I'm glad the board has gone for option c, but only time will tell.

A few Norwich fans I know have said they can't speak highly enough of him as he really puts all his efforts into the job and they played some superb football in their promotion season to the PL (granted he had Dean Ashton upfront!).
I did hear that Worthington was lined up and ready to take the job after the trip to Rotherham, but our performance was encouraging enough for them to give Mills another game.

You stupid York fans ought to take a serious reality check. You've been out of the Football League for a long time and it shows. Clubs like Fleetwood have a far bigger playing budget than York. Gary Mills had done a great job so far. Producing a very competitive team which tries to play football. Only very foolish people underestimate a draw at Oxford and a draw at Rotherham. On Saturday York lost two goals to individual efforts which no manager can control. So far York have had a good season after promotion. It's a shame your dizzy directors (the McGills) and some of your feckless fans don't realise that.

On another note, I am still staggered about some of the abuse handed out to Mills on here by a minority of 'fans'.
Yes, he made mistakes this season and yes, he signed some poor players in the summer. BUT he worked wonders with last years conference squad in comparison to what some clubs like Fleetwood, Wrexham, Luton spent.
If anything, he put too much faith in the players from last season. What have Kerr, Smith, Blair, Walker, Paddy done this season to justify their renewed contracts as football league players?
Yes Gary could be stubborn but this also worked in our favour last season when he managed to take us where many managers have failed.
He should leave our great club with fond memories and our gratitude rather than riducule. He left the club in a much, much better place than where he found it so he will always been seen as success.
All the best GM and welcome to Nigel!

Anyway in response to your comment, it would be far more stupid for us to sit back and gladly accept your team to relegation whilst the manager refused in public to change his ways. If you have ever supported a team relegated from the football league you will know what i mean by this. Not only would it been years in the conference again (probably the hardest league to gain promotion from) but also risked the clubs very existence. Probably no new ground, no McGills, no future, no club. So the board had no choice but to act.
Nobody is doubting what Mills has done for the club, but his shear stubbiness in the end cost him is job. We will always be grateful for his achievements and eight great days in May. Time to move on now and welcome a new manager with new ideas and without tinted glasses.
So please can you now go and play in the road.

What Nigel needs to do is tweak the system, we all can see that and bring Reedy back from the Abbey. I do hope out this appointment works out ( mcguiness springs to mind ). It's another big gamble by the board and I suspect the mcGills dont have the resources to do what they did last season if we were to go down to get us back up, so this is probably the cheaper option. I would like to know what his contract is but well done to all concerned to make this happen and the future has become brighter. Looking forward to The Wombles now. Keep the faith

No other team in L2 has won fewer games than City, our home form has been abysmal and we are just 4 points off the bottom teams who have a game in hand. The change had to be made for the future of the Club. And Mills' arrogance and stubbornness made the fans turn against him. All the best to Nigel Worthington and time for the players to roll their sleeves up and shed some blood, sweat and tears over the last 10 games.

Welcome to the club Nigel. I'm sure he will turn us around and get 3 wins against the teams around us with the players we've already got at the club. It annoys me all the posters on this sight having a go at Jason Walker and believing we need a new striker at the club before the end of the season. At times this season GM should have dropped JW but he has played as well as he could have done, but without any support up front I find it difficult to see what more he could do. He certainly isnt a bad striker. On Saturday it was typical of his season, one difficult opportunity( he had to dig the ball out from under his feet) for all the game because he had absolutely no service in the final third. In other matches hes been taking set pieces as hes the only one that has been able to put in a quality ball.

Who honestly believed that millsy would be sacked less than a year after that glorious 8 days, but in the end Millsy had to go and this shows how far the club has come to attract somebody of Nigel's stature.

I bet you'd have loved York to have been relegated under Gary Mills because to you, its more important to be able to say "I told you so" than survival... At least that's the impression I've got of you from your gloating...

However, I think the appointment of Nigel Worthington is to say the least , quite a coup. Yes he hasnt mananged at club level for a while, but his pedigree is not to be questioned, and he is proven at league level, and indeed premiership.
This for me shows a statement of intent from the board, about taking us forward.
So can I ask, that the negativity stops, the support begins....... big time , and we cheer the team to Div 2 survival, and push on for season 2013 / 2014.
All the best Gary ............. and thanks for the memories.

I think it's a great appointment and I wish him and the team lots of success, but I'm trying to see it from Worthington's point of view. What's his motivation? A way back into football? Does he see it as a demotion? Will he want to manage in non-league if the worse happens? Will he jump to a Championship team if a better offer comes along? Will the players feel they are certain to be replaced in time? Will that affect them in the last 10 games? Just wondering. It seems slightly too good to be true - assuming managers actually do make a big difference (which I don't think they do).
Fred Barber has joined from Bury today so there's some current league experience to fill that gap people were complaining about.
I think all the players (besides maybe Ingham) will have huge respect for a manager that has played and managed at the highest level. To use win rate averages is a joke! Premiership/Champion

My only "dark" thought is that NW will pull us clear this season, get us off to a good start next season, then (on the back of all the good stuff he's done before) disappear off to a Championship side around November / December when the first round of sackings commence, in the hope that he'll be able to perform another "Norwich"
That said, welcome and the best of luck Nigel

we must get behind the team and lets hope he has a plan B when clearly Garys plan A was not working.
this is progress from the directors in difficult times. well done the McGills.
I have been supporting YCFC for 40 years and have seen both the good and the bad.
I get the shakes when the name Brass is mentioned.

You stupid York fans ought to take a serious reality check. You've been out of the Football League for a long time and it shows. Clubs like Fleetwood have a far bigger playing budget than York. Gary Mills had done a great job so far. Producing a very competitive team which tries to play football. Only very foolish people underestimate a draw at Oxford and a draw at Rotherham. On Saturday York lost two goals to individual efforts which no manager can control. So far York have had a good season after promotion. It's a shame your dizzy directors (the McGills) and some of your feckless fans don't realise that.

Of course, it is sad to see Gary Mills leave. he always seemed a nice kind of guy, who cared about his team. You may argue his tactics this season havn't been the best but last season, they gained us promotion. Something we had been fighting for, and for what seemed unlikely to happen until Mills came in.
