    Fear not everyone, this will be Rotherham United good news week. I can feel it in my water. Disputes will be forgotten, disagreements will be set aside and we'll all come together amidst great outpourings of joy, goodwill and camaraderie.

    Stubbs / Fergie / Mr Millwall / the special one.....it matters not! If you have a budget like ours you'll have to get what you can cheap or players out of contract.

    Blaming Alan Stubbs is pathetic at this stage of the season - even more than the first thir**** games.

    Now - how have the fans contributed to our woeful season.

    1...At Barnsley - those morons who mobbed the manager and players shouting despicable things at them were our representatives to the new squad.

    Outcome: Does anyone believe it motivated the manager and team to higher levels of performance ?

    2...Social media ( including MM ) vilified manager and certain players constantly based on nothing more than ignorance of the game and how to develop a team.

    Outcome: Does anyone believe it motivated the manager and team to higher levels of performance ?

    3...Social media ( including MM ) constantly belittle the chairman who saved us from extinction and built the NYS. Direct insults to the chairman and his family on 'twitter' and other moronic domain's.

    Outcome: Does anyone believe it motivated the chairman / manager and team to higher levels of performance.

    Right.....many on here and other social media have been and are presently guilty of all of the above and now.....

    Laughingly......

    You are "demanding" that the chairman / the club should tell all on every aspect of the running of a championship league club to even tempered intelligent - patient fans that have treat him disgracefully.

    I wouldn't mind but 99% of the information demanded and the stupid complaints of miss-managged player purchases / agents / fees / club aspirations / budgets available are all well documented and we're explained at length at the time.

    Villa have spent £55.75 million this year.

    The complaints being made generally and on this thread would be understandable if we were all Villa fans!

    £17 million on a player who's performance is not up to scratch - and they have 10 such multI million pound players.

    Some condemmed a manager within 13 games - get a life !

    Some are condemning players who came on free transfers and not scored 10 goals yet - get a life !

    Some are condemning the chairman who they constantly abuse for not texting them for advice on transfer's

    Get a life !

    And with all this motivation and love from the Rotherham United "fans" you expect what exactly....the team you get may be the one you deserve !
    I forced myself to read this (well most of it) and I actually agree with you. Don't get me wrong Stubbs was useless but while he was the manager I would not have a go at him. I actually didn't really want him to be sacked as I was in the mindset of 'you've got us into this mess, you get us out of it'.

    I don't boo the players and I am intelligent enough to realise that Tony Stewart has been a good chairman for Rotherham and there doesn't look like anyone riding over the horizon who would do better than him. When we were in league 1, weren't we one of the top spenders? That surely has to be a major positive for our club when we look at the big picture?

    I did notice your second to last line though and I think you should take your own advice.

    To be honest I think "making statements" is what's got us into this position in the first place.

    Folks don't trust the club anymore as promise after promise hits the buffers.

    Football is a business and every business I have ever worked for has firmly kept its cards next to its chest. You don't publically broadcast all of your plans, you tell folks when it's happened and then only in brief.
