Manager Miller Gone in Sioux City
Tuesday, December 12th, 2028
The fans in Sioux City have gotten their way -- today the Knights parted company with manager Barry Miller.
He had been living on borrowed time after a poll of local sports fans found that he was losing popularity quickly. Fans had been increasingly more vocal about their displeasure with how Miller was running the club on and off the field.
They had even created a "Fire Miller Zone" in the right field bleachers, where fans would post signs and dress in t-shirts supporting his exodus as manager.
Asked if fan pressure had any effect on the termination, a Knights official, spoke off the record and said, "Yes, it had a bearing. We are always concerned about our fan base, but this was not the primary reason for the dismissal. In the last few months, things have gone downhill and we just had to do something about it. We decided to get new leadership in the clubhouse."
