Known Brecks over 53 years and like you say, an excellent ambassador for the club, town and Hospice but, you?re forgetting he too left our club when he went with Mark Robins to Barnsley cos the pay was better.

Nobody on here knows what's going on here proved that the last transfer window. It's guesswork looking forward. SE needs to have strong finish to the season to be certain of still being the manager here at the end of it. TS he's a business man anything other then he won't to lose most of the season ticket holders he's got.
But nether returned with anything to do with the running of the football side of the club. He was Robins assistant here so he didn't know who'd be the next manager at Roth U whoever it was to be might have wanted to bring his own men in so he went where there was a job for him at Barnsley.
Was the best thing to happen to the Millers since Ronnie coming back,raised the profile of the club and the town without being a d*ckhead.
I thought the timing of his departure was bit odd(Best start to a Championship season for decades),and unlike some on here I don`t actually "Know" the reason why,but my guess would as simply as a great opportunity to manage a bigger club with better prospects and bigger wages,maybe he thought it might not come along again,as I suspect he doesn`t think he`s the best manager in the country.
Obviously his record in the Champ is poor,but then again not many have owt with us at that level,and he did have 3 promotions and a cup win,which is some record by any standard.
It would be worth him coming back just to see Gru & Grist spontaneously combust.
