    Accounts are due out soon that should cover last Summer and may explain the 5M repayable-on-demand loan to ASD.

    ASD [ Tony Stewart ] takes the 5m out of the money given to championship clubs, with the Millers getting relegated
    TS made sure he gets his money, in case the club were to be stuck in league one this season, on a lower EFL
    payment system.

    I could have given them some questions to ask, that's if he had dared to ask them.

    I?ve known Paul more than 35 years, he?s a top guy but think about the last ban the Tizer got for probing too deep?.. Paul has to take home a weekly wage do he won?t push his luck.

    Give me the interview Ive nowt to lose.

    Let me know your questions and I?ll gladly ask for an interview so we can as they say, clear the air.

    Clear the air?
    The air is thick with intrigue.
    Lack of true dialogue, all we are fed is the highest budget nonsense. If that is really true, they should man up and prove it. Then we could say with conviction that yet more money has been overspent on a poor squad, too old, misfitted, mismanaged, and of course a load of money at the same time as a squad without enough players.

    We are debating over a pathetic statement, we have heard all before. That was not an interview is was an old tired soundbite.
    About as old and tired as the management.

    Still, when another supporter has clocked up another 1000 games non stop, we will see someone trot out and present another grateful trophy.

    Bottom line for me is that seemingly we are all supposed to be grateful, turn up, not ask questions as to how we have had one of the most turgid, poor footballing seasons, badly coached, managed, yet another avoidable injury plagued season, where we are all bored stiff watching it.
    And the last notion here is that TS gambled on a quick return to championship! Really? With a squad not fit for purpose that wouldn?t get 20 points if it returned!
    Meaning it would be needing even more money, he doesn?t have or won?t spend.

    Pretty good management from the top to the bottom. Not.
    The board got lucky with Warne, and since then all the frailties have been since exposed. I would not trust them to organise a jumble sale.

    However, it would have awfully expensive bunting to look at.

    Is there a financial black hole at the club?
    Just got a feeling that this might be the next excuse trotted out.

    Oh come on Brin, if a journalist is afraid to ask searching, relevant questions he ought to be doing a different job!
    Whereas Paul Davis is a Rotherham fan the majority of his articles are "fluffy" pieces almost as though he was writing promotional stuff for the club.
    Supporters will always want to know what's happening at the club, what the plans are, what are they doing to attract the next generation of supporters, what lessons have been learned from previous failures etc, etc? Why on earth should a journalist be afraid to ask things like that?
    By the way, the reason the Advertiser got banned last time was not because Paul Davis was "probing too deep" it was because someone wrote an article about a parent who was disappointed that her 6 year old, who had been a mascot, didn't get what they had been promised as part of the package.
    The paper was subsequently re-instated when they pointed out how petty the club had been.
