Are things really so bad?

[aussiemiller]

I have read multiple threads and posts bagging just about all at RUFC and even calling for Paul Wane to get sacked. Some ridiculous comments and some of our fans should really hang their heads in shame. Support your club FFS and maybe we can get out of this mess. This is the time when the lads need the fans to rally round in droves and create some noise and atmosphere and hopefully galvanize the team. But unfortunately many are chucking the toys out of the pram and saying they aren't going anymore. I would kill to see my team play at our new stadium but health and finances won't permit.

Anyway for what its worth here is my take on the manager's position. Leave it with Warne till the end of the season. We are not down yet. Another manager in now would guarantee the drop for sure. We don't need any more change. Let's get some stability happening.

The 2 muppets before left us in the shi*e with their tactics and/or poor signings and gutless attitudes.

AS & KJ amassed a whopping combined 7 points from 18 games in the league at a mind boggling average of 0.39 points per game

PW has gathered 6 points from 6 games at an average of 1.0 point per game and the players are playing with a lot more passion and effort. If PW continues at 1.0 point per game we will end up with a total of 35 points (13 + 22). So he has proved he is nearly 3 times better than the 2 previous managers ..... give him a chance. He is obviously capable of improving things.

If we sign 4 new players with the raw pace and power that PW has stated he needs and wants and we replace some of the departures as they happen, with PW's man management skills there is no reason he cannot achieve say 1.5 points per game which would give us 46 points (13 +33) at the end of the season. This could give us enough to survive if there are 3 from the teams above us which start to decline which has happened in the past 2 seasons.

If PW keeps us up then I believe he should get the job for the next 2 or 3 seasons as he will have performed a miracle. Let us get behind him and the team and see what they can do.

Or if after some strengthening of the side in this window we show further improvement then wait until its mathematically impossible for us to stay up before re-evaluating the manager's position. If we stay up or only just miss out then Warney deserves to stay. If there is no further improvement start looking for new manager when the facts state we are relegated. Whatever happens PW should be given a guarantee he can step into some other full time job at the club or return to his former position as fitness coach if he vacates the managers position at some time in the future.

Its not all doom and gloom so get behind PW and the lads and see what a UNITED Rotherham can achieve. And those of you who do attend matches ..... give a few shouts for those like myself who can't attend. i listen on Millers Player every game or watch live streams if available.

Onwards & Upwards
