    And we were in no position to take the risks that they did. Secretive Russian owner throwing money at it (against the rules) - I would have been very uneasy with that because lots of clubs have tried similar and failed. They could have easily not got promoted to the Premier, then been stuck with penalties in the Championship and who knows where from then? We must be happy that we don’t haw to fear for the survival of the club for the forseeable future and we have had lots of success too. I’m delighted to be a Rotherham United fan.

    Spot on Harpo. That, together with the fact that they have an excellent manager who knows the club inside out. It's the perfect fit. Sound familiar? I believe that if Paul Warne continues as he is doing and stays with the Millers we will be in for some great times. Premiership? Probably not, but hey its be done before with Blackpool so lets keep dreaming. The fact is that we are a Championship club with young exciting players and are financially sound.

    Agree, and don't forget, when Bournemouth get relegated (as they undoubtedly will) they aill be under transfer embargo for two years i think, a rapid drop through the leagues is quite likely...
