The next manager will likely be someone who has had some success at League Two level, a more experienced head who can manage upwards (even though I'm not sure that's what Tony necessarily wants). We cannot attract any higher due to how the chairman operates and the facilities the gaffer has to play with. I'd put all my eggs in the Dave Artell basket personally, a manager who has the ability to manage at L1 in the future without a doubt.

Luckily, the summer is a clean slate when we shed the vast majority of our wage budget and although the budget would undoubtedly be cut, I'd anticipate it to be a very competent L2 budget.

Whoever it is, they absolutely have to have time to develop a playing style and needs patience from the fanbase in doing so. I think we're at a clear defining point in terms of our identity, and ultimately the "Rotherham DNA" has now been left behind and needs to develop to have any sort of success in the future. There'll be an expectation from the fans that if we go down, we'll bounce back up immediately but given how badly wrong we've got the last four years at least, there's no guarantee that happens.
