While Tony Stewart is busy playing "Musical Chairs: Manager Edition" and looking for someone who can actually stick the landing, Paul Warne is out here collecting promotions like they?re loyalty stamps at a coffee shop.
Here?s a little salt for the wounds:
* The Chairman?s Masterclass: You really have to hand it to the Rotherham board. Letting the guy who practically invented the League One promotion blueprint walk away, only to watch him replace you in the league two years later? That?s some 4D chess right there.
* The "Toxic" Brigade: For all the fans who spent years moaning about his "boring" tactics or his "nice guy" interviews?how?s that exciting, high-octane league one relegation battle taste? Turns out, "boring" looks a lot like "winning" when you?re looking at it from the wrong end of the table.
* The Great Swap: There?s something deeply satisfying about the symmetry of it all. Warne takes a team up, while Rotherham slides down to take their parking spot. It?s not just a promotion; it?s a formal eviction notice. Did we get what we deserved?
I guess the grass isn't always greener on the other side?it?s just greener wherever Paul Warne happens to be standing.
Like many others, I knew we'd miss the bloke.
Good luck to him.
