If we miraculously stay up CAM I think we can expect a much of a muchness.
Let’s hope we don’t 😂

I agree that hindsight showed that the appointment of Taylor was a mistake. I think it's impossible to say whether the LR decision was right or wrong at this time (I appreciate that others will disagree, which is fair enough).
The thing about appointing people into any role is that that is it isn't a precise science. You can look at a person's record, take in references and see how they perform in interview, but it's impossible to know whether they will succeed when in role.
The financial means of Rotherham United are what they are. It must be frustrating and tiring to run or manage the club when living and working with that and the unrealistic expectations of supporters.
It's already ruined for supporters who think he should have 'speculated to accumulate', which is a phrase that's popular with people who focus only on the 'accumulate' bit.
The bloke undoubtedly has faults - his PR is truly terrible (a bit of media training might help - but probably not very much), but I refuse to see putting financial stability front and centre as one of them.
I'm old enough to remember a family called the Purshouses running the club. Lauded as a progressive set up with money in the bank, they were held up as an example of how to run a club.
Some fans got sick of steady 3rd tier football with the occasional dip into league 4. They were hounded out and sold to an exciting entrepreneur from down South.
He gave us 2 and a half seasons of brilliant excitement, winning matches and a title with arguably the best team since the mid-60s. Sadly the team was funded with the money left by the previous owners. He was even generously paying Derby County's bills as well.
The money ran out, so did the chairman, leaving 15 years of turbulence and unpaid bills and administrations. It was great while it lasted, but we are very fortunate we don't have an F C Rotherham United in the County senior league.
(Cliché alert). Be careful what you wish for.
Look, it's been a bad season, on and off the pitch. It's a bl**dy game, not life and death. Nobody is forced to go. Find another hobby for next year, maybe self-financing?
I get a lot of the latest posts have become wind ups to coincide with new member(s) to this board, but abusing each other, managers, players, staff and the owner on here won't make the team win anymore matches then usual.
I shall continue to go even if we dropped through the leagues. I went with my Dad, brother and friends, my late wife and kids. Now I go with my grandson. It's what my family do.
