What sane manager would take the RUFC job?

Well all know you're fishing and don't for one second think you actually believe what you're typing but go on then, I'll engage for a bit of fun.

If there was a male coach out there who's only managerial experience was less than a fortnight in preseason in caretaker charge of Forest Green, would you be suggesting we sack Matt Taylor and employ him?

No.

But this could be a revolutionary moment, in the history of this club.

We have a toxic, negative, soulless atmosphere at the club. We have had a succession of managers who have bought into the myth that there is a RUFC identity- absolute poppycock by the way- and the club from top to bottom is dour and devoid of creativity.

This moment- we could change that in a heartbeat and give the job to Dingley or another suitable female coach.

It would be a huge boost to the Rotherham United profile- encourage a new generation of female supporters- open up new revenue streams with merchandising, put the club on the map across the world.

Or we could appoint another depressing Northern bloke with piles, to regurgitate all the usual crap after another defeat for the rest of the season.

You're not naive enough to believe that.

To work with the resources we have at our disposal is about as hard as it gets - top Prem managers couldn't achieve much with them. As someone recently pointed out, the lack of good under 21 players - the likes of which other Champ clubs almost without exception can call upon with reasonable trust to step in and take on the task if need be - are not there for us in anything like the same way. Warnock knew this and that's why he didn't stay - Warne knew this and that's why he headed down the M1. It's not so much a manager that's needed as a magician. Matt is doing the best he can with what he's got, but we gambled on some players with injury histories and, sadly, we are also just s**t out of luck on that front.
