Paul Douglas will have grown with the job over the years - rule changers and transfers will all be second nature to him now - anyway - there is a team of folk dealing with the transfers / business side of football......

You paint a picture like Douglas is sat in an old dusty office with tikka-tape machine and an old black phone...

Wer'e a club that has been overtaken by the stupid costs of the championship.

That's why plan 'A' - Stubbs with a budget should have been maintained and supported to the end of the season because we were never going to get into debt chasing rainbows.

Stubbs was successful - bearing in mind the restraints put on him - he bought budgets players and loans to manipulate into playing as underdogs in a big league.

I don't care what folk say he made progress game after game - considering his two captains were long term injuries as well.

Warney is saying his team gave everything "physically"...... We'll that's not the point.

We need to play like Hull did v Liverpool - that is playing "clever" - with intelligence not run our blood to water....

"The Rotherham Way"....

It takes time to get that shape and team discipline - and Izzy was a key man for us - an "outball" for our defence and with his ability to hold / carry the ball and feed Wardy - but Stubbs gone - Izzy gone !

Ward scoring 1 / 2 under Stubbs

Ward scoring 1 / 6 without Stubbs

But many got their wish and Stubbs was hounded out......when he was our best chance this year..

Be careful what you wish for !

Now look what you've got !
