pheasant plucker Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Johnny will be one of a very small band of managers who has shown the commitment, over that length of time, to one club and also brought significant success. He will definitely be remembered as Beith’s most successful ever manager.He will no doubt have his own reasons for standing down and that should be respected. Thinking about it personally it must be really hard to maintain enthusiasm and commitment over that time to what is a second job and also dictate time to your family.It is also worth remembering that he was a top player so he has given much to the game over his career. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boswelldriver Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I'm really saddened to see him go. His teams always gave Talbot a decent fight. It was one of those fixtures I looked forward to so I hope the new manager can bring the same standard if not better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classof2010 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Undoubtedly did a good job. Serious question; was he getting jip off the fans?The fans were always behind him ,yeah some questioned some decisions but that happens at all clubs, in his 2 spells he has a win percentage of 60% not many managers have that type of percentage at one junior club.2 league titles 1 Scottish cup2 west of Scotland cups1 ayrshire cup1 evening times cup Plus a couple of final defeats Very hard act to follow good luck sir Johnny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash city rocker Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Said on Saturday night Miller would be considering his position. For a guy that has won Scottish , league titles and numerous cups losing to Rossvale would be difficult to take. There's a bit of work to be done for Beith to get back to where they were and don't believe Miller had the desire at his age to rebuild. If he can't maintain his success think he would rather go. Be surprised if Miller manages again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not like he lost to a team at the bottom of the 2nd division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your respect their pal.... see you in the league games Nothing but respect for Rossvale they have done superb , Gormley could well be manager of the season. Miller has just seen his team lose to a club on a fraction of Beith wage bill , Beith are building new dressing rooms , funding floodlights perhaps Miller didn't see himself being there long term and short term would require a quick rebuild for Beith to continue being successful. If you are a Scottish winning manager , league winning manager last thing you want is your legacy tarnished. No disrespect whatsoever to Rossvale but if Miller feels he can't inspire his players to beat a promoted relatively new low funded club like Rossvale then...yes I believe losing to Rossvale was difficult to take for Miller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Rossvale beaten nobody this season I would agree, but given that they have gone to Glenafton, Hurlford, Benburb & Clydebank and won away, and beaten Meadow, Ladeside, Troon, Largs & Glencairn at home this season, it can't be that much of a shock that would be a "final straw" after such an illustrious career that Johnny obviously had. Paying bigger wages, doesn't guarantee better players...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying bigger wages, doesn't guarantee better players...... I have seen Beith a few times this year, the way they play and was at a few Rossvale games at the start of the season and would say Beith would beat Rossvale but going to watch the game on Saturday, I believed Rossvale would win as they have changed and style of play has changed and Beith haven't changed that much since the start of the season. there was a bit in the first half and near the end of the second half where Beith were a threat but it was an overall deserved victory for Rossvale. I cant comment on Johnny Millar leaving and reasons of and definitely do not think it was the fault of losing to Rossvale but I'm not involved in Beith workings and what's going on behinds the scenes but I know its a close nit community and the youth football is coming closer to the juniors so that will be a brilliant help. I'm sure Beith will flourish, have bad seasons and brilliant seasons as well as Ok season, just the nature of the beast. I wish John and Beith all the very best in their futures Edited January 21, 2020 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheasant plucker Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Wages definitely don’t guarantee success and I don’t think the Beith wage bill will be in the top half of premiership clubs. I heard they lost out to Longworth in close season as he was offered significantly more at the Vale 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye paying better wages doesn't always guarantee better players but. Saltcoats are not doing as well as Rossvale. Will never know with Miller but as soon as a heard the score a predicted Miller would resign. Don't think he would have left at the moment had it been Pollok or Talbot but that's just an opinion. He's a proud man Miller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longworth was never going to sign for Beith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaffaJoons Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I don't envy the next man who comes in. Actually struggling to think who that could be. Could Beith go for a cheap option and maybe offer it someone like John Sheridan? No idea if he would want it right enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
