When Richardson got the job it mirrored the circumstances of when Warne was given the job. Inherited a complete and utter mess in a league where we have to play out of our skins just to achieve 4th bottom. The ship had already sunk.

We sympathised with Warne and gave him the chance to show us what he could do in League One. Maybe that was because we were fond of his long serving links to the club, or maybe it was because he was the cheap option. But he got the chance to put his stamp on it and I'm glad he was given that chance.

Richardson wasn't given the same opportunity. Maybe it was fan pressure, maybe it was the rapidly dwindling attendances and a worry this trend would impact season ticket sales as we approached our centenary year. Maybe TS was so shell shocked at how miserable things were at the club that he thought the risk of Richardson continuing this at a lower level was too much. But he was at least proven in League One.

This season up until Christmas didn't go exactly to plan, but we can't deny that there was a lot of excitement and buzz at the club through the close season with Evans' return, and I think thats what Tony Stewart wanted to capture. 2025 has started to slowly bring that feeling back with the performances on the pitch. Long may that continue.

I wish Leam the best if he gets the Wycombe job, he deserves another go at this league and I'm sure he'll be keen to show the public that what happened to him with the Millers was more about us than him.
