Don't worry although I don't blame you totally ,Stubbs was the main architect for this mass but under your guidance the team has not improved in fact personally I think we have gone backwards , time to go mate.
Ok, let's blame him - he's had enough games and didn't have the stones to tell TS we needed bodies in January - he was complicit in the deliberate cave in from November.
I don't blame him at all for our relegation, but at the start of his interim spell he didn't think he was a manager and nothing has happened during it to suggest that he was wrong. As somebody said on Praise or Grumble yesterday, great guy etc etc but not the right man for the job. Before we appointed Stubbs and Jackett nobody even hinted that Warne might be a candidate to be manager. You could have probably got 1000/1 on him getting the job. What has happened since to justify him now being the favourite? All he has proved is that he couldn't turn round a lost cause. Not his fault, but not a successful audition either.
I agree with Len that if anything we have gone further backwards. All the empty season ticket seats yesterday and the sense of despair in the ground. I hope Tony Stewart was there and I hope he felt it too. Appoint Paul Warne and he will alienate very many supporters. It is a shame because Warne is (still) highly regarded at Rotherham but he is a square peg in a round hole, and it won't end well.
In what way is Paul Warne a better choice than someone like (for example and I am not saying I love him) Russell Slade? Slade has good experience, knows the area, wouldn't cost a fortune, is available, has done well in League One before and (importantly) would represent a new start and a break from the losing mentality that has infected us. He isn't the only one. There are many better choices than Paul Warne.
I hope TS has a surprise up his sleeve.

I agree that it's right for Warne to shoulder some of the blame. If he had said no to Tony Stewart right at the start,maybe we could have brought a manager in who could have at least arrested some of the decline.
We may not have avoided relegation but at least we may not have become the laughing stock of the Football League. A joke of a club with a joke of a pretend Manager and a clueless Chairman.
Agreed Towd codger but I would add, that if a manager had been appointed early on, while not saying relegation could have been avoided, he could have seen what he had and put in place planning for next season and could have made some sensible signings during the January window that would have made the relegation a bit more palatable by having a few fighters and grafters in there and made use of the remaining games in a positive way.
I think Jackett was that man but clearly was told one thing at the interview and then discovered it was all false. I said it before - I'd love to get an honest statement from KJ about why he bailed.
