If he is such a bad manager you have to wonder how he was able to beat us to become League 1 champions a few seasons ago?
I don't know whether he'll prove to be what we need to turn the club round but I'm not prepared to judge him until he's had the opportunity to make some major changes.
Agreed.

Part answer why he was able to beat us and steer his team to the league 1 championship. The budget. He had a very healthy budget that season.

Still an achievement because he had to build from scratch and there were some big clubs in the division. He won't have anything like that budget here. Rotherhams wage budget that season was circa £6.5m.
