LR's pre match interview

[Masbroughstreet]

To listen to some on here folks would think that Warne, Barker and Co were sacked.

They weren't, they jumped ship for the money.

Which posts? I haven’t seen any that would make anyone think that.

Mike Pollitt is GK coach at PNE

I’m sure he will be impressed with Vik

Very few things in life are black and white, including football, apart from Newcastle United !
But one or two facts are...managing Rotherham United in the championship is one of the hardest jobs in football.
The whole football club was in a better place with Warne in charge.
We will not walk the league next season.
Everything else is a mucky grey,is Richardson any good,at the moment absolutely not,but this situation is not all is own doing, so do we give a chance in the summer ?
My gut feeling is yes,but if its not working then get rid at Christmas, daft as it sounds, us in league one is probably more attractive to a new manager, than being in the championship.
On a personal level I've really tried to like LR,I even said in thread recently that I was warming to him,but that has cooled again, I think Taylor was more likeable.
I know this shouldn't really matter, especially if the team is winning, but compared to Warne ,who I loved as a manager, at the minute it's all a bit meh.
When you support a team like Rotherham you need something to hang on to, as we will never have the best players, at the moment it's not easy being red,as Kermit almost said.

It's hard to believe that any sane individual would move to another employer for higher pay, better working conditions and an improved chance of being successful.
I mean that really would be a stupid thing to do wouldn't it?

Too true, particularly one that preached to us about loyalty.

How do you know he moved to Derby for higher pay ? Maybe the prospect of getting Derby higher than league one was the pull and not money .

I was told that Derby had made an earlier approach but Warney, at that time thought that RUFC was going to be sold, so he turned it down but when that fell through,he decided to leave.He left for much better money and to work for a chairman with ambition, who is a true Derby fan and will give him full backing.

Blades and Burnley were last season, this season it was every time the keeper got the ball it was hoof, never tried to build from the back and play through the midfield. Yes he had two very good performances against Blackburn and Norwich (more than LR has or seems capable of) but after that it was aim for hugill. On this site loads of people said we keep giving the ball away with the punt forward and that we don't have the players to play football, which I don't agree with we have some good footballing players, but I am not sure we have had coaches capable of getting them to play. However we all see the game differently.

This isn't meant as a criticism Derby because I know you live abroad, but you also get a different perspective when you're actually at the game rather than watching a fairly narrow view on TV.
I agree about the hoofball played this season but what is also particularly noticeable to me st NYS is the number of players who effectively "hide" and don't show for the ball so, whoever is in possession often has little option other than to hit it long and hope one of our big lumps wins it.
A complete clear out is needed at the end of this season but unfortunately that's no guarantee that things will be a lot better next time around.

Btw I’ve moved jobs in the past for less money . Money isn’t always the motive .

I don't. I was replying to Grist who apparently does know.
Try to keep up 😉
