York City manager sets 50-point target for League Two survival (From York Press)

is that it? where's the rest, dave? that is not really a 'press conference' is it?

I read that as I am here for ten games, if we stay up maybe he will consider more!

Welcome Nigel. Sure you will show us your class and sort out what is currently a bit of a mess. C'mon City.

Well youve got a 4 point head start and playing bottom of the league with a team with a decent away record.
Anything but a win really is a failure.
Having a chat with McGill could mean a whole multitude of things. He told us we were staying at BC once over.

Mr flett, a little media lesson for you!

That's how professional people work with a bit of forethought and research.

are we to assume that fred barber will also be gk coach now that mussy has left? could barber be the back-up keeper at 49 years old? we like 'em old

York Press, lazy journalism as ever. Welcome to the club Nigel 3 points sat

Come back to Norwich,Delia has an IRISH STEW cooking,,,"Lets be having you"

Welcome Nigel, we have a good squad of players and I hope that your league experience will get the best out of them for the task ahead.

I see caretaker coach here for 10 games and if he does not succeed he will pull his own pin.

lets succeed and well done the Board

That's probably about it. It's putting him back in the shop window for a Championship club if he does well.

Absolutely correct bartsimmo

I'd have him til end of season then reinstate Mills. Still think it's crazy he's gone. And yes i know we should be looking forward now but i'd sooner have Mills than anyone else. My opinion.

York City News ‏@YorkCityNews

Nigel Worthington recalls all players out on loan - back to York City for now

Interesting that he mentioned "slow steady progress"for the club or words to that effect. Given City's finances our progress in 4 years is remarkable. Welcome Nigel and all the best.

My opinion too. This could now go either way. NW is a top manager and we've pulled of a coup to land him and I wish him great success at York. But he can only work with the player's he's got. A 'big' name is no guarantee of success. It's not even a guarantee that we can beat Wimbledon. My gut feeling all along is that we will not go down. I still think we won't. GM would have kept us up. So NW has to do more than that. He has to have us knocking on the door of the Championship. But will he stay long enough? I hope so.

If we get relegated, then Nigel will leave and perhaps we can get Mills back? He was good in the conference.

Dare I say though that as a coach he will be far better on a technical level than Mills was. With what we have that could be enough to see us safe. I still think Mills could have done slightly better than he did with what we have. Too much chopping and changing for me at times.

Next ten games are all cup finals. I'm sure he knows what he has taken on and is fully prepped. Maybe we will see a team list and tactics that make some sense Good luck to Nigel and the team. They have all got something to prove, so lets see it on Saturday and finally give Wimbeldon the skinning they deserve.

Good uplifting appointment, already sweeping the changes.. all loan players called back to city..be intresting to see if any york have loaned are sent back to make room for worthingtons recruits.

Michael Gash back at York

This guy is here short term until the end of the season,with a view to extend if we stay up.hes a league manager he dosn't
want to commit to york until we are safe thats what he's saying..how hard is that for you lot to understand,so if he manages to keep us in the league at the end of the season he will think again.and if nothing better comes along he will consider the job..thats called being honest i respect the man for that.

Good appointment. Now its up to the players to prove themselves to Nig. David Healy as player-coach are you serious, if thats true that will be another coup and he knows where the back of the net is.

York's new manager Nigel Worthington believes assistants Fred Barber and Steve Torpey have plenty to offer the League Two club.

Worthington, 51, was confirmed on Monday as successor to Gary Mills, who was sacked after Saturday's home defeat to Bradford, and has appointed former Bury goalkeeper coach Barber and York's youth-team boss Torpey to work alongside him.

"Fred has been with me since Blackpool," said Worthington. "When he was at Bolton he used to come in for a couple of afternoons a week and take the keepers.

"Then I had Fred with me for four and a half years at Northern Ireland. He brings fantastic knowledge and experience to that position and is somebody that works the keepers extremely hard, which I like.

"If you look at (Jussi) Jaaskelainen, ex-Bolton now at West Ham, Fred had a huge part to play in the achievements he's made, so there's a lot of quality there and a lot of football experience, which is good to have alongside you.

"And Steve has been at the club for a number of years.

"He's got local knowledge and knows the players inside out and it was right that we moved him up alongside us.

"It's good experience for him as well and gives him the opportunity of seeing what it's like at the top end. He's a good lad, I've been very impressed with what I've seen so far."

Barber has taken up his new role with Worthington after leaving the Shakers, who he joined at the start of this season.

Short term? I dont think so

Nothing wrong with that Duffy from his point of view, also if he's successful we're successful, think outside the box

Ah I had forgotten about that Gateshead game.

I often wonder if York City fans posting here really know anything at all about football! After years of failure -punctuated by actually getting back in the league - City now have a manager with the required experience to take the club further. Anyone who thinks Mills should have continued probably shouldn't make any comments. Really!

i cannot believe anyone would seriously think even if N,W only stayed till the end of the season that Gary Mills would entertain coming back to the club that just sacked him.As much as most of us thought highly of G.M it was his arrogance that was possibly his biggest failing,even if it was the right move more the club he would never do it.On another subject of course we have to be looking for three points at the earliest possible opportunity(sat) but i dont think anyone needs to be saying we must start with a win in a new managers tenure,does that mean it,s time to start booing if the new man dosnt have things right by saturday?.Dont get me wrong the Wimbledon game is huge with then being one of the teams below us but their form isnt that bad and it,s going to be really tough at their place.

I think everybody is going over the top about the Wimbledon game, remember it is 10 games not one. Rome was not built in a day. CTID

It's not only about survival, assuming we stay up, an equally big task is to build a team for next season. Most are out of contract and some are coming to the end of their careers and/or no longer up to league 2 standard. It is understandable if such a manager as NW would leave if we go down, but I would hope there is a commitment to stay if we survive and therefore has a objective to rebuild the team for the future otherwise come close season any new manager will be left with an awful situation to inherit. If he does stay I am sure he will have the contacts, if not the cash, to bring in some good players, even if they may all be Irish.
It has been reported that he is on a rolling contract, so on the face of it he has the option to leave even if we are still in league 2.

GOALKEEPER will be coming up the A1 very soon,like thursday.?your new man means business, what we hear down here he hit the ground running on Sunday,good luck you city fans,

I hope david healy doesn't come to york, he's 33 now and only averaged 1 in 4 throughout his career and hasn't been prolific since Leeds. He's also only managed 8 appearance for bury this season.

Every confidence that Nigel will steer us to safety and in doing so, make use of the current loan market. Quickly turning our home form around is key to this - three wins and two draws from the five fixtures and we will be safe and the City fans will have a big part to play in it!! A nice little run of home form starting next Tuesday night will do it and then, whatever we can pick-up away would be a bonus! COYR.

I can't see why Wimbledon are being picked on here. Their supporters have been through even more traumas than we have. I really hope they manage to stay up but in Saturday's shoot-out it has to be City for the three points I'm afraid.
Incidentally, a great piece of photography - getting the manager to stand in front of some red seats holding a red scarf.

I would think Its only because they are the next team we play and nothing personal at all.

Here, here, couldn't agree more, the Gary clappers just can't move on! Onwards and upwards, COYR.

There really is no sentiment in football. Mills did good last season, failed this season. If York had been second in the league this season with 10 games to go and a Championship Club had come in for him, do you really think Gary would have thought to himself, hang on, went to Wembley twice with York, I'd better stay for the fans...no chance, he'd have gone and I wouldn't have blamed him. It's all about the next level, we now have a Boss at the helm who has the credentials to pull this off and the right contacts to pull in some half decent players. Gary Clappers, get over yourselves or go follow him.

spot on.

Mills brought the goods times we had long waited for, However he was also dragging us down with his one formation.
The formation itself isnt a problem but it is when the players he stood by were unable to use it too effect time and time again .Instead of changing the formation to suit the players capabilites ,admitting he was wrong and backing down off his high horse he just kept rolling the dice with his team selections and played players out of position and out of their comfort zone.
He got away with it last season where mistakes were not punished however this season mistakes lead to goals in our net.
So mills will go down as the man who guided us to promotion back into the football league but its clear he simply could not take us any further and was simply out of his depth.
Nobody more than me would have loved Gary to have taken us further and at least be competitive in the top 10 places.But no man is bigger than our club and it was time to hand over the reins.
Thanks for the good times while they lasted , But like many of Gary's signings its time for you to move on this time.

What is a 'Gary Clapper'? Where did that even come from? Surely we're all extremely grateful for what Mills did for our club - surely we're all sad that he had to leave? I personally think that he had to leave when he did, but I don't take any pleasure in it, and I don't think people who disagree should be mocked with some juvenile label.

You're a Gary Clapper and I coined the phrase just for you. Where as most 'normal' fans could see we were badly struggling, you and a handful of others would direct insults and venom (very brave of you all) to other posters who didn't agree with your point of view.

Anyway, lets all move on and get behind the new manager.

Didn't answer my question. And I wasn't asking you. Once again, you're trying to make it 'all about you', when really it's got nothing to do with you and your loud mouth. Go bleat and mewl somewhere else.

This already sounds very promising from NW. A full recall of all players out on loan, a back-up keeper to keep MI on his toes, and a determination to keep playing proper football but "in the right areas." Quite a telling remark that. I for one am excited about the last ten games now. I have been to all home matches bar one, and since New Year have walked down to BC with trepidation and hope running as fast downhill as the team's slide down L2. In my many debates with fellow supporters (post-match crying into beer), I have consistently said that GM had to go, and should have gone sooner. It was obvious that he had run out of ideas and was stubborn enough to think that he could turn things around... that would have been disastrous to the club, the fans and the board. The FL is an unforgiving place, we know this from experience. So, like others who have posted already, well done to the McGills for moving swiftly in the end to try and rescue our season with a PROVEN manager. Also, I think the McGills are to be congratulated on giving GM every chance to redeem himself (results at Oxford and Rotherham just eluding him), but for me the writing was on the wall long before those two games. GM will have time to reflect on where he went wrong with York, and I'm sure he will bounce back wiser elsewhere and I for one wish him all the luck in the world, because I will never forget my two trips to Wembley and the euphoria of promotion back to the FL.

A good piece, History is just that,cant live in the past, York City has a lot of history,but that wont win you matches.
you are now down to a 10 match season,forget where you are in the league,this is a new shortened season.if anyone can win you matches your new man can,the players have got to give 110% sweat blood ,and all pull togeather,thats what they should have done before but what i have heard there was dressing but ups,that GM couldnt get to grips with,

'Mad for Minstermen' you are absolutely spot on with that. Absolutely no way would Gary have turned down a better offer it had come along, and we wouldn't have expected him to. He did what was required of him, and we all thank him for that.
Nigel is the man for us now though. I was thinking twice about the game against Rochdale next week due to finishing work late, but I will most certainly be there to cheer on our (hopefully!) revitalised troops.

We all have our opinion of what GM did for the club and most people manage to express it in an intelligent and reasoned way. However, there are a couple of posters on here who continually bate others and so prevent an interesting discussion developing. In future let's keep the posts respectful, anyone who doesn't should be igored.

openallhours..STFU you muppet..even i don't go on like you.Mr Mills has gone and i thank him for getting us back in league but its time to move on and back the team now,im sure mr worthington is going to sort us out,just be happy now.stop this happy clapper crap now. makes you sound about my boot size..grow up you idiot.

OAH is currently banned from what im lead to believe.
That will either be from abusing players or a court.
Ive yet to decide who to believe.

Making the right noises & wants to get a look at all players contracted to the club & no doubt a clean sheet for all.
I am not expecting a miracle but I am expecting him to see straight through some of our players who must be very astute at training ground politics, no names as for me the season starts again.
Looking at the basics attendances a helpful board we should make a comfortably mid table city & if Nigel keeps us in the league fantastic, stays on & does any better with a bit of a cup run etc for instance next season that will be me happy. Our players will hopefully put their shoulders in be professional & do what they are paid to do if not I can see quite a cull coming. Come on City!!!

First mistake - bringing back Reed - he should be in Conference North with Colwyn Bay - not good enough for City

How can it be a mistake reviewing the cubs assets already paid for he should be astute enough to work out those who have little to contribute your opinion I am sure he can make his own mind up or are you waiting in the wings with an unhelpful told you so quip.
Time to rally round & show why we as supporters deserve to watch league football i feel.

I am also enthused to return to the Crescent, home v Port Vale, hopefully by then we will be well onto the road to recovery and would accept a 3-3 draw for my trouble!!!

I see York have signed Fred Barber as assistant manager. He was the best goalkeeping coach Bolton ever had, say my Bolton mate?
Great signing in his opinion!

Great start all players back work them hard see what attitude they have and what their physical and tactical ability is

Full week to make selections with Steve Torpey giving his opinion on the players

Awww bless I'm nearly reduced to tears, get over it mate, yes mills did a good job getting us back to the league but his attitude and arrogance shown this year was terrible, a little different if we were lingering mid table but we are now sweating on our league status and most probably our future, it's one hell of a coup attracting somebody with the calibre of Nigel worthington so instead of writing complete and utter dribble try getting behind the new manager and the lads who will hopefully get us out if this mess that mills has created by using the complete wrong tactics, players in wrong positions and who are blatantly out of their depth playing league football

couldn't of put that better myself

I think it's definitely the end of an era. Very sad to see Garry go but I do feel it was the right time. The man will go down in history and I know he was very upset after his sacking. As said above he loved the city he loved the club and he gave everything he had to give the city a league club once more. That said, I find it hard to believe that any City fan wouldn't be excited about having a man of Worthingtons calibre here. It's exciting. Hopefully it's long term and I hope he embraces the club and the fans like GM did. I think it's crucial now we get BC rocking and give the players and the staff all the support we can

Yep, didn't know whether to get the old violin out!! Onwards and upwards, no need to dwell on the past, look to the future.

At this point in time true fans will show the class to give thanks for the achievements of one of our managerial legends. The applause at the end of Saturday's game was perhaps longer than merited but shows that the majority have a true spirit.

Others will show the mean spirited graceless ignorance that they wrongly think gains respect.

They do not represent the majority who are not embarassed to give thanks for what Gary Mills achieved and recognise his commitment to the town and club.

True, the latter period was not what anyone was hoping to see.
This year has not been an enjoyable experience but the self centred posting under multiple names do not detract from the heartfelt sympathy and gratitude felt by most.

All Gary clappers grab your wembley souvenir photo books a box of Kleenex and once you have got certain admirations out of your system and are ready to be positive in all respects towards the team you claim to love and support then wash your hands and start typing again!!!! Mills is history and a very big part of our history but that is where he will stay so stop your bitterness and decide if you love York or mills and get off your high horses before tesco put them in your burgers!!!!

as an ex season ticket holder and life long fan who still goes to games when i can ,will the so called FANS explain to me why we can play away with unbelivable support that is always behind the team and cheering them on .as soon as we play at home the idiots are out calling and slagging off players and management.
i for one can,t stand home games because it,s full of idiots who don,t understand football and it,s about a season not one game they won,t go to away games .yes we will lose some games but players are affectected by continual comments from supportsers as shown in our form away, against our home games.
ty to any one that has tried to help our club and all the best to nw
come on city

Tool

If Nigel Worthington is as good as his hair products, I`ll be a happy man ! City Till I Die !

Comment after comment about class. Look at my username

This was one of Worthington's midfield when in charge of Norwich. Not only was it a midfield of his, it was a midfield he purchased with the millions Norwich gave him to spend. Jason Jarrett? Carl Robinson? In a career of about 10 clubs, nobody paid a transfer fee for Carl Robinson. Guess who did?

Andy Hughes? 600k for a headless chicken who fights to win the ball back only to hoof it back to the opposition? Classy

Simon Charlton? A decent full back playing midfield, badly. Not only that, look up on google where Worthington compared him to Claude Makelele

This classy football. What Norwich games have you people seen, what Northern Ireland games have you been watching. It's all long ball football

In 2005 Worthington let Marc Edworthy (a fine full back) go to Derby, and bought 2 right backs for Norwich. Matthieu Louis Jean who hadn't played for 2 years at Forest. How on earth he passed the medical, because he didn't play for Norwich. Juergen Colin for 250k, who was rubbish, last seen making one appearance for Sporting Gijon against Real Madrid, losing 7-1, and never playing for them again

Andy Hughes ended up playing right back until one was bought. Actually one wasn't, because there was no money left after Worthington's lavish spending, and loan players played right back (Ryan Bertrand, you've probably seen him for Chelsea)

This is what York have got, not great experience, not class, not passing football.

Forget his masterstroke of signing Huckerby and Crouch on loan, because 5-6 other good players were funded that season. The players promoted Norwich

Remember the facts. This is not a good appointment

The only good thing about it, is he gets an instant reaction, and that's what York need. Anything after that, is very worrying

I've followed York because I like it, I'm not one of those angry idiots in the Longhurst who shout at Kerr to shoot even though he's never scored in 75 appearances. I've never watched the formations or been critical of anyone

That York team came up because of a lucky offside goal in a cup final.

To sack Mills, was one of the biggest mistakes ever.

I can't go and watch Worthington, it's become a personal thing now. He's not a nice man

Lastly, when Norwich beat Manchester United 2-0, in the press conference before the game, he said that certain players who hadn't played much recently, would be getting a go, and when they do, they can't complain that they didn't get a chance. Those players were Safri and Helveg. He brought them into the team. He put Helveg at right back for only the 3rd time that season. When he had played previously, he was put in midfield. Helveg had spent the last 10 years at AC and Inter Milan, but Worthington knew better to either drop him, or play him out of position?

Anyway, his pot shot at those 2 players backfired, Norwich beat Manchester Utd, and went on a 6-7 run which nearly saw them survive a premiership season they didn't deserve to.

So why didn't Worthington implement what happened in those 7 games, into the other 31?

This is what you've appointed.

Don't take my words for it, look up everything I've said

Jog on.

"But that didn't stop Shiels, a former development officer for the Northern Ireland association, launching a stinging attack on Worthington or his bosses whom he claims have overseen football in his country regressing by a decade in the four years since he quit his post."

Kenny Shiels

Good luck York. I really don't want any relegation, but you'll just have to witness it. Maybe he'll be nothing like before.

Maybe..... he won't

wow Jarret youve put alot of work in finding reasons to hate our new manager before hes even got a foot in the door,its heartwarming to know weve got diehard fans like you to cheer the team on come what may.You say youre not one of those idiots in the Longhurst stand(that,ll be the ones that generate what noise comes out of Bootham cresesnt) i assume your one of the constantly moaning old minnies in the main stand then.why are you banging on about all the things Worthington has apparantley done wrong elsewhere like playing players out of position yet saying we only got up thanks to a wrongly awarded goal and mourning the passing of the games biggest advocate of playing people out of position(though i know i may be struck down with a bolt of lightning for mentioning that of our newly ex manager)

Hi YoRkle59

I used the word "follow" carefully. I don't say anything about anyone at games. I just go because it's brilliant to have league football back here

I go in the Longhurst. I hear the abuse random players get, even if they're playing well. It's disgusting. I don't mind, because I only follow them. I support another team (with the insight above, I'll leave you to guess who it is)

I didn't mention the offside goal in the play offs to be disparaging. I said it for perspective. Sacking a manager who's 2 results above the danger zone (which is actually 3 because those clubs have to catch you up), isn't very wise at all

It's a sideways step at best, it actually implies that a hasty decision will be made again in the future

Why not have just waited till the end of the season, and amicably parted. Why now? Why not do it when York are actually in trouble?

As for Worthington, He put Blackpool into trouble in his first job, after initial success he put Norwich on the path way to league one, and in taking over Northern Ireland, he put a team on a roll under Sanchez back to what they were used to, losing. Shiels knows better than me to comment about Northern Ireland

I just stuck to the facts of not what I 'apparently' know. Look up what I've stated. It's all there, plus, I commented on it because I put up with 6 years of it

Yes, it IS brilliant to have League football here again (that's why we want to hang on to it... duh)?
And... if you don't think City are in trouble now, when do you think we might be? Wait to the end of the season? REALLY. Have you not read the vast majority of posts on here. Were you really in the Longhurst witnessing the defeats against Morecambe, Barnet, Bradford et al. I find that hard to believe. Oh, hang on, you support another team of course. I very much doubt that you came even close to feeling as gutted as I did at losing to said teams. Whatever your thoughts on NW you are obviously entitled to your opinions. However, your comments are not going to stop me from getting behind York City FC as a TRUE supporter and giving the man a chance!

What is the use of this video you can't here the conversation for another voices on it.

I don't want you stop getting behind the team, far from that

I'm just saying it's very concerning that this man is here

I'm talking longer term as well. Look at his career and where teams end up after him

You can treat what I've said, or the quote above from Shiels as some kind of attempt at online trolling. I'm just saying this isn't a man of great experience as is perceived

If I wasn't out of the country, I would have been at all the games you listed. As it happens, I was just at the Morecambe and Bradford game

Just following a team, allows me to see things clearer, which is why I go. I wasn't seething at Morecambe, if I was, I was just annoyed with Ingham picking arguments with opposition strikers, the away fans in the second half, his centre backs (which seems to be a common occurance), and then that appaulling gaff which put York from being well in the game, to well out of it. (I hope that satisfy's your question that I was there, or that I go)

It happened though. Barnet was frustrating. But York are actually picking up points. To lose to a team that's just been to a major cup final and had a great season, isn't grounds to sack a manager who went into that game unbeaten in the last 2

Sack someone when they've completely failed, not when the team is picking up points

Should have proof read, I missed the Bradford game. I was at the Barnet and Morecambe game

Ok, so you don't think we are in trouble ? Think back just a few weeks to when we were 10 points above the drop zone and people were saying we will be ok mid table. Now,we are 4 points above relegation and 5 of the 6 teams below us have a game in hand and some of those 6 teams have developed a worrying habit of winning games lately. We obviously differ in our views but that is what I call being in TROUBLE.

I deem trouble, to be making hasty decisions when in the last 3 games, York have picked up points

If it was a run of 6 games in a row lost, fine, but a loss after being unbeaten 2 games before, away from home too?

Sorry, that's not trouble

Simply drawing 2 and then losing the next game is not a good trend. We are in trouble. We are not winning enough games, if a team wins 1 in 3 its a better points haul than us scraping draws. Not winning in 11 games says it all. With this sort of form would you have left things as they were until we sat at the bottom of the table?

i don,y think he,s got an overall point or any kind of point quite frankley i think he,s talking nonesense
