Brin, whatever your intent the clear implication is - as Towner's post makes clear - that but for the parsimony of TS we would be in Non-league or oblivion. And, as for Lol's mention of Lincoln I did try to make clear I had selected 3 random seasons and we did not play Lincoln in any of those which is why they are not mentioned. By the way, as to your mention of "...how far we have come..." well when I started watching we were established in what is now the Championship and were getting similar crowds.

Exactly so, Cam. But you have to admit (or perhaps not) that the descent into non-league or worse of some of our old adversaries has been used several times on here to suggest that TS saved us from that fate and that if we'd spent a bob or two we'd obviously have been doomed.
With some pretty strong justification I'd say. I think given what had happened in the 5 years leading up to TS stepping in and the stigma that was later to befall the name of 'Rotherham' that we were much more likely to have headed in the direction of Wrexham than that of Manchester City. If we had then I'm not sure there would have been a couple of Hollywood 'angels' stepping in to try and save our fate 15 years down the line. He may be 'the light bulb king' but I'm glad he is. That doesn't mean to say he's perfect though, who is?
