The seed as been sown

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

We all saw what Warnock did for the Millers, kept the team in the championship, but main thing kept the Millers owner & shareholders in the money.
What did Tony Stewart do, he dilly dallied in not keeping Warnock as manager, as I said in a long previous post, Warnock should have been offered a place on the board, then we would have had a football brain in the boardroom.
What happened was the club got a manager in Alan Stubbs who managed a Scottish championship side, being Tony Stewart & the board not being football wise, thought he would be on par to be a English championship manager.again a bad decision, no football knowledge in the boardroom.
Alan Stubbs bought players in his wisdom, thinking that the players being Scottish championship standard, was the same as the English championship, Stubbs totally got things wrong, paid the prize of dismissal.
But we as fans have to realise that the seed was sown by Tony Stewart, by not having a football focused member on the board of Rotherham United, bad decisions have been the down turn of the club.
Now the club & the fans are paying the penalty, where relegation looks the club in the eyes, bad decisions in the boardroom will cost the club revenue in gate proceeds, & a big fight to get back if relegated.
Fans on the website have said what is wrong, be it the fans pay to watch the club, its time the boardroom listened.

How did TS Dillie Dallied he offered Warnock a new contract and he messed us around hoping for a better offer.

He didn't want to stop how is that so difficult for people to understand?

Pockets post is bang on. Its unfortunate how things worked out but it was in Warnocks hand to take or leave. He hesitated and cost us. UTM.

That's nonsense I'm afraid.
As soon as Warnock showed hesitation Tony Stewart should have dumped him, moved on and looked for the next manager. Stewart is the employer after all!
The chairman simply wasn't strong enough and allowed himself to be strung along so to blame Warnock for messing him around is laughable because it should never have got to that stage.
And now the club is paying the penalty for that piece of mismanagement followed by the disastrous appointment of Stubbs.

Mellow come on everybody wanted TS to wait for him to make his mind up.

He couldn't win could he he waited because he thought that he was going to stop.

What's nonsense is the constant referring of Warnock has someone who didn't play us for a fool.

Did a cracking job but he's got more faces than big Ben.

Agree about Stubbs though.

Warnock a short-term solution, should have gone for Wilder when we had the chance.

I quite like the idea of Stubbs as manager and think he might do well even though his appointment would seem to lack some of the key things TS said he was looking for. /quote

The strange thing about that time though Pocket was that Warnock said from the outset that he wanted to manage a club that gave him a chance of achieving his eighth promotion and that it wouldn't be us.
The whole situation about trying to appoint him seemed a bit of a charade although I agree most of us would have liked him to stay.
I just think Tony Stewart should have been more decisive and not allowed the situation to drag on as it is costing us big time now.

By the way Pocket, I notice from some of your recent posts that you seem to have crossed the floor 😀
I'm sure you wish, like me, that we weren't in this godawful mess though.

I remember saying that and I also said I thought his appointment could be a masterstroke!
I couldn't have been more wrong as he was clueless and I just wonder what he said at his interview to convince Tony Stewart to appoint him.
