A new day dawns, the sun still shines, the birds still sing (at least in Harrogate) and all's well with the world (well, we can skip that one!). The dust is starting to settle on the most bizarre appointment in the history of the Millers as supporters come to terms with yesterday's events. Warne's accession to the throne on a one year contract provides yet more evidence of the paucity of resources, a fact denied by a Chairman who continues to identify a sizeable, albeit still mythological, budget. Time will tell if it exists and if our newly installed software can help invest it wisely, an aim that has eluded us throughout the TS tenure. NYS excluded.

Hopefully the coaches will be arriving shortly to transport the ne'er-do-wells, the sick, lame and lazy, the aged and the infirm, across the Pennines to their final resting place, to those bastions of a byegone footballing age - Bury, Rochdale, Accrington... Then the new signings will start arriving, filling us with ephemeral hopes and expectations, dashed when we realise they're but replicas of the ones recently departed.

The Board will continue its deliberations, trying desperately to decipher the FA Handbook on Rules and Regulations, to comprehend the meaning and usage of a Business Plan, to come to terms with contemporary transfer budgets and starting salaries. Alas, all to little avail.

The Chairman will outline plans for completing the NYS development, for a new training complex, for new medical equipment... for a new approach, for implementing lessons learned. Supporters will smile benignly and search the skies for another Pukka Pie.

A new day dawns - but is there a new era in sight or will everything remain the same?
