It is a little concerning, but so called experienced appointments have been terrible, so who knows.

I'd take League 1 mid table right now, I fear though that the 4,500 to 6,000 average gate will have very very little to cheer about next season.

I hope I'm very very wrong and somehow we find a squad to compete, but that's just based on hope not on anything I can see as facts.

Facts and signs such as this statement suggest mid table would be a great result.

At the moment nothing I see at RUFC is good on or off the pitch.

Why not, he's turning into a young hungry manager. He will know more than anyone what we need next season, get him an experienced permanent number two and we could have a decent team to compete next season. As long as we don't get promoted we will be fine.

No disrespect to Warne, but it all feels very wrong. He said time and again he doesn't want the job permanently yet I suspect he is being manoeuvered into it. Stewart says there is no plan to appoint a manager until the summer, so it will be back to square one with only a few weeks to rebuild and start again.

We'll have to wait and see but right now I read nothing to make me feel optimistic about next season. More like papering over the cracks

I can't see what difference it makes, only NW & KJ came with any managerial noose, all the rest (and you could argue incl SE when he was appointed), have been 'taken a punt on' - why not take a punt on our own.

Every manager no matter how good, need a season to get things going. I don't think Warney is daft, he's got RUFC at heart and he's brought people around him with the same attachments like Brecks & Polly. While those people are clearly from an unrecognisable RUFC, they recognise the fan base, to me that is massively important. There has been a disconnect between the club and the fans for far too long, and its only when pulling it the same direction can we succeed. Yes there's a lot to sort out on & off the field, but they are a result of consistent failures, I say why not let him have a go at it, we can do and have done a lot worse!

You may be right Exeter, I honestly don't know, he's certainly got guts to take on the poison chalice and I'm not against him. But Warne has said many times over that he does not want the job permanently and unless he has changed his mind/been coerced, (and as far as I know he has not stated publicly otherwise yet), it indicates to me that his heart aint in it for the long haul. Surely that can only be bad news for all concerned.

He is serving one hell of an apprenticeship at the minute, why not?

Because he's said he doesn't want it permanently! The last thing that would be any good to anyone would be to heap speculation onto him and bolster him with Brecks and/or others and force him into a corner to say yes.

And why would anyone want to do that anyway other than in the hope of getting a cheaper option, save you the bother of going through a 50 plus list of applicants, or so we keep being told, and then screwing up the selection; or lining up a fall guy depending on how you look at it? just to be devils advocate why not Brecks???? 100% a Miller, been No. 2 to Ronnie and has the experience, is it because he's not interested either?

If Warne changes his mind and decides to give it a go then fine, he can't do any worse than we've had this season and may end up being a great manager for us. But until he comes out and publicly says 'Yes. I've enjoyed it so far and happy to give it a go' I'd say give the guy a break and let him make his own mind up in his own time, it would be unjust and unfair on the guy to do otherwise in my opinion.

Question for Tony Stewart: is experience an important quality in a football manager?

I ask because before we appointed Stubbs apparently not only experience but specifically championship experience was crucial. Of course we then appointed someone without it. We then appointed Jackett with a big fanfare about how his experience made him such a strong candidate. Now we are in the hands of someone who is wholehearted and very worthy, but who has no managerial experience other than a few games that he has held the fort for us, and apparently we are seriously considering him to rebuild and stop us going into freefall.

Do we actually have a strategy, or are we making it up as we go along?

Its wrong in my heart and my Head.

It goes against all sound recruitment indicators.

Anyone can see that Warne is struggling with the job, you can see the look of dejectedness in his face at every post match interview. It's as though TS is holding a gun to his head.
This is THE worst RUFC side I've seen in 40+ years, both in ability & more importantly in heart, fight & lack of team spirit.
Grim.......very grim!!!

Just to be clear, I am not saying that previous managerial experience is necessarily essential.  We have had really good managers in the past who got their first job with us.  My point is that the people who make these decisions for us seem to have a plan, then not be sure about it, then scrap a plan and start again, then come up with a new plan, etc etc.  To have a strategy that changes regularly is to have no strategy at all.  It doesn't inspire confidence.

For God's sake Tony give Warney his old job back as fitness coach before you destroy a thoroughly decent man who is Rotherham through and through. If the fans can see the effect the job that you forced him into his having on him, Why can't you. Paul is a smashing bloke who we would all love to have as our mate and its obvious that the players feel the same way. But does this mean that he has what it takes to be Manager of Rotherham United?
The answer to that question is a definite no. How do I come to that conclusion? You need to go no further than to look at some of his own thoughts that he has expressed on the matter on numerous occasions.
Please let him go back to the job that he loves as fitness coach and begin the search for a new manager now.
This post should not be seen as a criticism of Paul Warne in any way and as far as I am concerned he will always have a part to play in Rotherham United moving forward, but not as Manager.
Paul, every Miller thanks you for what you have done and will continue to do on behalf of the Miller's, but please step down from the Managers job before it destroys you.

Pilloried I think he shouldn't have either job. I'm Rotherham through and through but can't have the job either. The team has always looked knackered this year and favours badly in the fitness stakes in the second half; we haven't corrected this under any manager and I'd blame PW for this. As for being the manager then there's no worse employee than one who's not happy in the role and I don't know how many times PW has to say he's not up for it before TS believes him. Absolute balls up the lot of it.

Can't help but agree with you NewYorkshire. I'm not saying Warnie isn't a hard worker but I agree that the players stamina levels have been lacking this season & he's no manager either but what do I know? Tony knows best eh?
