    Rowett to Birmingham is bad news for the rest of the strugglers.

    You'll probably end up with 3 or 4 this season. Still time...

    Can't see us getting rid of Cleverley. He's only interim and his only task is to make sure we don't get brought into a relgation battle.

    Sounds like we are after Maloney at Wigan for the Summer though.

    I reckon had we lost on Saturday they might have looked for a more experienced manager .

    With Leeds , Southampton, Ipswich and WBA to come not sure it would be fair to judge Cleverley tbh .

    And hopefully we will be safe before you visit.

    Seen a few rumours regarding next season and none seem very inspiring tbh .

    Only managers who play possession football (Parker and as Mr Sheen says Maloney) which our fans would hate!

    Should have happened before the international break but better late than never. The situation was completely untenable after today.

    Warnock makes most sense, he’s been at a lot of our home games this season but any sort of experienced ‘firefighter’ will be an immediate upgrade on Foster.

    He can go back to working for the FA as an England youth coach where there was some success .

    I guess whatever he did with them hasn’t worked at Plymouth.

    Leicester away next which is a kind of a bye because we won't be expecting anything but it gives him another week to look at the players at his disposal, and when I say disposal, that's what should be happening to a lot of them come the end of the season.

    hope plymouth come straight back down, most deluded fans going. Its amazing how theyve pretty much doubled their attendance since they went up and when they go down theyll be back to normal averaging 7k at home.

    The club has sacked Liam Richardson and his coach this morning.

    I don't know what to think about this, he hasn't improved us in fact we have got worse but he has had to cope with some poor players, loads of injuries and some players who seemingly have said they wont play for him.

    Will it be a return for Steve Evans or is Warne getting sacked when Derby get their promotion confirmed?

    Sacking a manager after a few months, then bringing back someone managing in League One because he did well for you in the past. What a shambles...

    I can't imagine the Chairman is happy having to pay off Richardson and his staff plus Stevenage to release Evans and Rainer.
    But If you can see it's not working behind the scenes you have to change it I suppose.

    I would have given Richardson the chance to build a new team for next season but it would have been more in hope than expectation, in all fairness he hasn't produced any sign of improvement.

    Well we've been hearing about several players who have been making themselves unavailable for selection meaning we have been having 5 or 6 subs in the bench and one of those is a youth team player.

    Rumours abound that this is because of grievances with the old manager. if they are suddenly available on Saturday it'll prove it. Maybe the Chairman has had to step in so that we can prepare better for next season.

    If these players suddenly become fit to play I just hope we clear them out at the end of the season.
    Because unless there are very good reasons behind it they have been cheating the fans as well as the old manager.

    Sorry mate, this joke completely backfired as you only did what we did in February. Good luck for next season.

    Hadn't put two and two together ...... sorry, its battle fatigue it's been a long hard season in general (only 4 wins) watching a team that has shown literally none of the things we value in a Millers team.
    No grit, no determination, no pace and very little nous.

    I can pretty much guarantee that will change under Steve Evans next season and even if we're not ultimately successful in getting back up, I am at least looking forward to it.
    I know he's not a lot of people's cup of tea but he is definitely our type of manager.

    Don't get me wrong, I would have still renewed my season ticket but watching Leam Richardon's type of football wouldn't have been much fun unless he had a big change of style.

    I forgot Richardson existed before you appointed him. Too many managers getting sacked I am losing track :laugh:
