Realistic alternatives to Taylor

[the_idiotb_stardson]

Given our perilous position and horrendous injury situation, I am certain no established manager would join RUFC at the moment.

Warnock will not take the job in my opinion. It is too far to travel and I think, even he would not fancy his chances of keeping us up.

So who does that leave? Someone whose career is in decline and needs to repair his reputation with a salvage job? Gary Rowett perhaps?


Or a novice who fancies a crack at management ? Lee Peltier maybe?

Any other sensible suggestions?

There isn’t anyone imo who’s willing to come in on the wages we’ll be asking

If we're asking them to pay wages to come, we'll never get anyone.

Oh I don’t know there must be someone willing

You haven’t got a clue have you, there are plenty of managers who would love to opportunity of managing Rotherham, just because we’ve got a clueless donkey managing us at the moment does not mean Rotherham are destined to be relegated. Matt Taylor is a terrible and inexperienced manager at this level and must be sacked.

Neil Warnock, will work anywhere he gets a job, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield, Cardiff, QPR, maybe Rotherham next… and personally i would love Gary Rowett and definitely not Lee Peltier.

One of the reasons I'm not calling for him to go is because there is no obvious better alternative, so give him chance to turn it around. We were 8th in the Championship just over a year ago and the best manager we could attract was Matt Taylor. Why would we attract better managers now?

Warnock wouldn't come in my opinion, and he looks like going to QPR anyway. Plus that would just mean we had to start from scratch again in the summer when he retires for the 10th time. Going back is often not a good idea anyway, if we going to look at the past we may as well just get Ronnie back!

Rowett I imagine would probably think he can do better if he waits a bit.

Wilder? Again, would probably think he can do better but an ex player who lives local. He's been linked with a surprise return to Bramall lane however.

Nathan Jones possibly? but I don't think those who weren't a fan of Paul Warne and his emotions would be fans of Jones. He did well at Luton but looked on the verge of a breakdown at Stoke and Southampton.

I hate to say Ainsworth but I reckon that's the calibre we'd be looking at, and I'm not sure many of us want that.

I think Rotherham have generally done well with a 'character' in charge, Ronnie, Evans, Warnock, Warne, all very different characters but not your normal cliche spouting managers, and Evans aside all had a previous connection with the club. It was easier to get behind them. The more dour serious managers, Scott, Redfearn, Stubbs etc all failed. Robins was the only one in that mould to really do well but he also had a connection to the club as a player.

A very good post. Personally,MT is a good,honest,hardworking bloke.I honestly believe had injuries been kinder to us,we would be doing OK.We can complain about the gambles on Morrison,Hall and Peltier but ironically,Peltier has been one of the best players over the last 2 games but the injuries to Humphreys and Blacket are killing us,and no one can blame MT for that.
